Lifetime Rating for GhOsT~lizard: 5.4493 |  | This morning I was hanging in that BW Ladder channel looking for some melee 1on1 action, I kinda hate ladder speed so I prefer to play melees on faster. After asking about a zillion people most of whom didn't speak a word of english I finally found [xxx]-x guy who agreed to play me. Like always I choose terran to start, he chooses zerg and off we go.
VITAL INFORMATION:
GhOsT~LiZarD 1142(terran) 9o'clock
[xxx]-x 1156(zerg) 6o'clock
BATTLE COMMENCES:
Knowing that he is zerg I eclect to go with the 2rax build that works best vs the buggers. You can also with with fact rushing but its just helluvalot harder and we're already facing those imbalanced lurkers here so lets not make things tough on ourselves. Anyways, back to the action, he scouts me early with his OL giving me his position away as well, fair trade. He 9 pools me, kills about 3 peons cuz my marines were being gay and not obeying my commands.
PIMP SQUAD IS BACK:
I assemble a nice little pimp squad consisting of 6 marines w/stim coming real soon. I send them to his base to look for some openings that I could hit but he's well covered with 2 sunkens and he's going lurkers, pretty exciting isn't it? Well since he's one of them lurker boys I construct a bunker/turret at my ramp and fill it with ranged rines. Meanwhile my pmp squad gets killed by a group of ferocious zerglings....yup them furry bastards are real nasty.
HEY ITS MR.LURKER!:
I got my ramp pretty well covered by the time he comes in with 3 lurkers, I lose 1 marine that seemed retarded and walked right onto the spines....oh yeah that was Johnny The Retard, poor guy. Those alien bastards will pay for taking his innocent life. Everything is pretty quiet until I get nasty and pull an M&M drop on him, I clear most of his peon line and nearly kill the hydra den, at EXACTLY the same time he drops 5 or so lurkers on me, I got a well positioned bunker/turret guarding my peons so the lurkers kill anything besides damaging my factory and starport, but hey thats minor.
EXPAND, DEFEND, KILL:
My new CC is now complete so I float it down to my gimme and put up a turret there to detect them nasty boys, I transfer some SCVs down there and add some more raxes at home. While I'm looking at my main, he hits me with about 8 lurkers, 3 make it through and start ravaging my peon line from the side where bunker just can't hit them, DAMN!! But I have no fear, and stay frosty, I run my surviving peons to my exp and after losing 2 depots take out the garbage. Now, the thing thats making me happy is he can't really exand now cuz he wastes cash expanding, I attack and he won't have sufficiend numbers to defend, thinking of that I take the 3o'clock and claim it for myself.
YOU CANT BEAT ME!:
Now I got this game pretty much won, I got 3/2 rines and 2 SVs so I move out to his gimme to start the invasion. He drops me with 4 lurkers which can't kill anything before dying. Now its time, I waltz in with my 4 or so dozen M&Ms and quickly type "gg", I finish his base off with minmal losses.
LESSONS LEARNED:
-Lurkers are nasty when stepped on.
-Terran own zerg....at least late game.
-Marines should really stop trying to impress the meds so hard and concentrate on killing stuff more.
