Well I've gotten pretty good with terran lately and they got kinda lame after about 100 games of pure terraning so I decided to switch to my vanilla race, PR()T()$$:) NH and NWTR were pretty empty this morning so I decided to try my luck in Brood War Ladder channel, I spammed it for a while before a really nice Korean named :[DOSA]: agreed to play me. At the start we exchanged gls and hfs and off we went.

VITAL INFORMATION:
PR()T()$$(toss) 12o'clock
:[DOSA]:(toss) 6o'clock


BATTLE COMMENCES:

I start out with my regular build going for the temp tech, I go pylon 8th, gate 9th and 10th. We both got each other scouted early, he was going with 3 gates and a forge warping in so I thought he was going hard zeals then goons. Just to be on the safe side I warped in 2 cannons and a shield battery at my choke. Finally my favorite weapon, the Dt was available, I made 2 and sent them to his gimme along with 3 zealots and a goon that I had for defense. I tried to climb the ramp but he had it well defended with cannons and zealots.

EXPANDING IS EASY AS 123:

Since he's taking a rather defensive stance early on I decide to expand, I take my gimme and make more gates at home bringing my total up to 7, I also upgrade weapons simultaneously.

I DROP:

Well since going through the front door isn't really an option I decide to do a nice little 1 DT drop on him, if he has no cannons by him peon lines, they die if he does all I lose is a DT. Lemme, tell ya he did have 2 PERFECTLY positioned cannons, poor Bubba died without even killing a probe, sad indeed=[

POWER,POWER AND MORE POWER:

Well my forces are still at his gimme and he hasn't tried to expand there, I smell something fishy so I scout around with a shuttle and d'oh he has the lower right island taken and REALLY well defended so any drops are out of questiion without DWEB or carrier support. Well since I can't really do anything about that expansion now I elect to grab myself the 3o'clock start as well, I warp in 3 gates there bringing the total up to 10. I also warp in an observatory and send out observers to make sure he doesn't expand.

THE BIG ATTACK:

Ok, my supply limit is at 199 now and I can't make anymore fighting units so I decide to hit him, I send my goon and DA/temp hordes to his main, I feedback his temps, MC his reavers and raze his main although I still lost about a dozen or some goons to storms and cannons. While I'm killing his main he hits me with a 8 carrier fleet, he manages to take out my 3o'clock exp but thats ok since I already claimed the 9 spot and just run my probes there. Lemme tell ya his carrier micro rocked and it took me a ton of storms to finally drop the blimps.


HE DIES:

Now that his fleet is defeated and his main is in shambles I need to take that island, I warp in 4 stargates and pump sairs prepairing for a huge DWEB supported drop. Thats when he pulls another 6 carriers out of his ass, I was pretty surprised but I had waaay too many temp/DAs and goons with sairs, I killed the fleet yet again. Thats when he says "I lose, u win" and "good game" he asked me where I'm from I said USA and he said he was from Korea we had a nice little chat afterwards, he was a nice guy and didn't disc or act like an asshole after a loss.


LESSONS LEARNED:

-Not all koreans disc, he was nice.
-Making lotsa gates and lotsa goons is really fun.
-Storm kicks ass.
-DAs look really cool and feedback and MC ownz.
-I'm protoss god and i own you all, cept for mark4=]
