Well once again I'm back with a super,ultra asskicking BR!=] This time I was hanging in NH and 2Inadequate was asking around for a game, so I agreed to play him 1on1 and chose LostTemple as our battlefield.

VITAL INFORMATION:
Map:LostTemple
Ghost~LiZarD(terran) 3o'clock
2Inadequate(protoss) 6o'clock

BATTLE COMMENCES:

I go with my regular vs toss land build, 8th depot, 2 rax, refinery, depot, acad get stim and medic/bats. Deion peon scouts the enemy and find him in the last spot, he has 3 zealots blocking the ramp but they're spread out so Deion shoots the gap, brakes a few tackles and gets the info, he has 2 gates and looks like he's going hard zealots then goons.

GREETING THE SCOUTING PARTY:

I got quiet a few marines guarding the ramp and a bat/medic coming when a scouting party of 4 zealots tries to take a peek at my base, I dance my marines around and kill 3 zealots without losses, the last one runs away.

IS IT OK IF I TAKE YOUR GIMME?:

I comsat and see that he got a crapload of zealots, well I got 6 bats, 12 rines and 2 medics, so I grab an SCV and make a trip to his gimme, I make 2 bunkers and a turret there. Back home my fac is finished and I my 1st tank there, I use an ebay to spot for me, destroy a cannon and some goon/zealots. Meanwhile back at home I float a CC down to my natural and secure it with a bunker/turret D, I trasfer some workers and get it up and running in a jiffy. I keep sending tanks down to his gimme while expanding twice more, taking the 12o'clock and its gimme.

DANGIT, HE GOT EXPS:

Well me being an idiot I forget to comsat the islands and then see that he grabbed both of em. I don't have dropships yet so I decide that the best thing to do is grab myself yet another exp. I take the 9o'clock.

BREAKOUT!:

I think that I got his gimme pretty secure when comes in with lots of goons/zeals and finally takes down my blockade, but its really too late, I already got a sci facility, 3 facs and 8 rax.

NOOO,MY EXPANSIONS:

He uses his zeals/goons to kill 2 out of my 4 expansions, I left them pretty undefended, but soons his forces are killed and I rebuild 1 of my expansions, the 12o'clock gimme.

I DID IT ALL FOR THE NUKIE, THE NUKIE:

I got a silo by now and I decide to do some nuking, I comsat his gimme and see that he got a nexus there, I lockdown the lone observer that he got hovering over his gimme and proceed to drop a nuke on him.

MORE RAX PLEASE:

Well by now I got WAAAAAYYY too many minerals, so I slap down 4 more rax at my 12o'clock exp and make bats/medics since he's short on gas for goons but got lotsa zealots.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME IRRADIATE WITH THAT TEMP?:

Feeling that I should end the game here I send a lot of bat/medic/marines/SVs/tanx down to his gimme. I run my SVs in and kill most of his temps but not before he gets off a few good storms and kills about 8 tanks which have a tendency to bunch up. He also dropped 2 reavers in the middle fo my forces but they died really fast and never got off a shot. We fight, and fight some more but he survives yet again. He tries to hit my main with a few zealots and goons but my stimmed bat,medics take care of them.

DON'T YOU TRY THAT AGAIN:

I comsat his gimme and see that he's trying to take it again, I send lots of troops there, lockdown his goons and kill the expansion. A long and bloody battle is fought, I irradiate his zealots and I even accidently dmatrixed one of them, he send LOTS and LOTS of zealots at me but finally my rescource and troop advantage overwhelms him and he conceides.

LESSONS LEARNED:
-Defend your expansions, I didn't and lost 2=[
-Make more unit producing buidings, I don't hink 12 rax, 3 fac, 2 ports, 2 armories, 2 ebays was enough, I needed more facs and ports.
-Locking down observers and then nuking is a great tactic that works!
-Terran rocks!
