Game 1: Lost Temple Grrrr random zerg 9, UnKnow zerg 12
Grrrr starts messaging as soon as he gets in the game saying "you are f*d" "you are f*d" Doh!
Grrrr goes something like 8 OL followed by a pool and gas at the same time. He Lairs and makes 6 lings to go attack UnKnow at 12
UnKnow goes gas and pool at the same time after 8 OL but goes 2nd hatch right about when grrrr goes Lair.
Grrrr's 6 lings run into 10 lings and retreat all the way to his main. He sits them there and plops down his spire. 10 lings sit at his ramp and an enemy OL over his main. All Grrrr's OLs are near his main while UnKnow's OLs are scatered everywhere.
Unknow's Lair hasn't finished yet.
Unknow attacks Grrrr's spire with his 10 lings...grrrr sends in 6 lings to counter UnKnow's 10 and UnKnow backs his lings off the spire and then fights. Grrrr's 6 lings all die, but kill 9 of UnKnow's lings. UnKnow's final ling dies to 3 drones. Grrrr's spire finished and UnKnow starts a creep, evo, and spire.
Grrrr and UnKnow end up waiting around until they do some muta battles with Grrrr maybe getting a slight edge, but not much. Both players expand to their naturals. Grrrr has about 12 lings and UnKnow has about 30 lings, but they are about equal on mutas. Grrrr is mining his main somewhat hard and has 4 drones on minerals at his expansion and both gas's going. UnKnow is mining with more drones in his main than grrrr has and has 9 drones mining at his expansion along with gas. UnKnow appears to have used a lot more larvae than Grrrr did, but I'm not sure how this happened. I think Grrrr lost more OLs to scourge and mutas than UnKnow, but it was puzzling. UnKnow attacks grrrr's expansion with about 30 lings, 4 scourge, and a dozen mutas. Grrrr defends with about 8 scourge, a dozen mutas with 1 attack upgrade, and 12 lings. Grrrr wins, but can't force anything at UnKnow's expansion (which has 2 spores) or UnKnow's main. Grrrr gets to 1/1 on his mutas and masses about 18 and then blitzes UnKnow's expansion. Grrrr sends in 6 lings first which take out one spore and then Grrrr just slaughters the expansion 1/1 mutas massacred about equal number of 0/0 mutas.
Grrrr at the same time expands to 6 and 6's natural and then just busts UnKnow's main. btw, both players had intense micro. Small muta fights were almost always fought without the glave bounce affect it was crazy :)
game 2
lost temple grrrr 9 chosen toss, unknow 12 chosen zerg
Grrrr goes pylon gw, pylon, pylon
unknow goes 10 hatch below ramp OL 12 pool, 14 hatch at expansion
Grrrr tries to attack with his first 2 zealots and 1 probe but it is repulsed. At the same time Grrrr expands to his natural expansion. Now unknow gets gas, but then devotes all his larvae to making lings. He has 4 drones on gas about 12 mining at his main and 1 mining at his expansion.
Grrrr starts 2 more GWs and transfers 8 probes to his expansion. Lings and zealots + probes battle very hard at the expansion. Lings attack until Grrrr brings in his probes then retreat. Just keep repeating this. Finally Grrrr grabs the upper hand it seems when he actually get to 5 zealots at his expansion with 6 probes there. However, he may have made the mistake of the match when he lets his 5 zealots fight against about 18 lings. The lings kill 2 zealots before Grrrr retreats to his probes. Grrrr tries to fight with probes and zealots, but loses another zealot. Grrrr starts to get overwhelmed and has to retreat up his ramp. He loses his expansion. Grrrr then has to retreat from his ramp as countless lings march up it. Grrrr gathers 5 zealots and a few probes and battles the lings, but they just suicide one of his GWs and then retreat to his expansion.
Now Unknow puts down 3 creep colonies at his hatch below his ramp, starts a Lair, and pumps solid 3 hatch drones. Grrrr starts gas and begins a cybercore. Grrrr quickly goes to templar tech while amassing about 15 zealots and 1 goon. Grrrr expulses about 18 lings from his natural and expands there.
UnKnow begins his spire just before his lings get expulsed Grrrr's natural. Unknow adds 2 creep colonies to join 3 sunkens below his ramp. Grrrr makes one cannon at his main and starts a Nexus at his expansion. UnKnow makes 5 mutas. Grrrr sends roughly 16 ground troops to attack UnKnow who has 5 sunkens and about 12 lings for defense. Grrrr retreats at the sight of the sunkens. UnKnow gets to 7 mutas and then takes out the cannon at grrrr's main and then starts picking off Grrrr's probes. 2 templar pop from Grrrr's GWs and then they begin to merge into an archon. 9 mutas now attack Grrrr's archon and kill it before it is done morphing. UnKnow's mutas just ravage everything Grrrr has and Grrrr leaves the game.
I talked to Grrrr about this game and he told me that he normally is able to hold against 3 hatch lings with his protoss build and that he just messed up :( I told him that it seemed rather risky to have 1 gw of zealots against 3 hatches of lings, but his micro is impressive.
Game 3 Snowbound Grrrr protoss 3, UnKnow random terran 12
Grrrr goes for a quick gw, cyber, robotics/sg
unknow goes for rax (floated as scout at completion), factory, academy, starport, bay
grrrr makes a costly mistake early in this game. He has 1 corsair at UnKnow's base and UnKnow has his rax land at Grrrr's base. Grrrr sees no antiair at unknow's base (2-3 vultures & machine shop just finished) and a starport with a control tower just finished. At this point if Grrrr leaves his corsair above the terran starport and build a 2nd corsair he can harass or destroy any dropship that pops out and there is nothing UnKnow can do about it. However Grrrr makes 1 zealot, adds observatory, and goes templar tech with only 1 gw. Seconds after Grrrr's corsair leaves the terran main a dropship pops out of the starport. Doh!
The dropship gathers 4 vultures and brings them to the protoss base. Just as the mine research finishes the vultures land at Grrrr's base and begin deploying mines. The mines and vultures kill off a couple zealots and 12 of Grrrr's probes (according to him, it was a lot). However Grrrr uses his StarGate to make 2 scouts and adds a dark templar to repulse a second vulture drop.
During the first vulture drop UnKnow floated a CC to the expansion at top right. Grrrr found this quickly and tried to destroy it with 2 scouts, but a few goliaths are brought in to drive the scouts away.
At this time Grrrr has 2 SG, 2 GW, and robotics. UnKnow however has 2 Starport and 2 factories and an expansion. 1 Factory was floated down to the middle part of the map. Grrrr gets 2 archons and drops them on UnKnow's expansion while simultaneously expanding to the start location at 6. UnKnow uses his comsat to kill the lone observer accompanying the archons and then uses his 5 cloaked wraiths to kill the archons although he lost 2 goliaths and several scvs to the archons (but obviously 2 archons are worth a lot more). UnKnow is now using vultures to patrol the center expansions as well as massing a fleet of wraiths. Grrrr puts down 1 cannon at his 6 o clock expansion, but only has a few probes there and his main only has a few probes as well.
UnKnow expands to the top left expansion.
Grrrr expands to the bottom right expansion.
UnKnow expands to the center expansion towards the left.
UnKnow's wraiths cause Grrrr to cease mining at his expansion at 6 by parking near the minerals and picking off probes. It takes about 2 minutes for Grrrr to warp cannons in close enough to drive away the wraiths.
UnKnow drops Grrrr's expansion at 6 with an scv, 3 goliaths, 1 tank accompanied by about 9 to 12 wraiths. As teh expansion falls Grrrr sends in 1 archon to kill the tank and 1 templar to storm things as a distraction. While this is going on Grrrr drops 3 dropships full with 5 goons and 1 archon on UnKnow's central expansion and razes it. Grrrr then tries to raze the top left expansion but a fleet of cloaked wraiths come in to save the expansion with only the command center left. This left UnKnow in a nice position with 2 goliaths and an scv at 6 and 1 fully functioning expansion and an expansion waiting to be mined. Grrrr had one expansion bottom right with minimal workers. UnKnow ferried 2 dropships worth of scvs from his main to the top left expansion and it was running nicely. He also transported some more scvs to 6 which he heavily turreted and built a CC at.
Now UnKnow ceased building wraiths at about 15 and started a science facility to get BCs. He also began making tanks. Grrrr expanded to the middle expansion to the left and started producing carriers.
When Grrrr had 5 carriers, 1 scout, 1 corsair, and 2 high templar his center expansion got attacked by 4 goliaths and 3 tanks. Grrrr tried to bring his carriers in to stop the siege on his center expansion, but he lost 2 of them to cloaked wraiths and a 3rd carrier fell as his fleet retreated. Grrrr's central expansion fell.
Now UnKnow amassed all of his forces. He had about 10 wraiths left, 4 goliaths, 3 tanks, and 3 Battle Cruisers. He attacked Grrrr's bottom right expansion which was defended by 2 cannons, 2 carriers, and 2 archons. Grrrr's expansion fell fast. The game lasted a little longer, but it was over at this point.
UnKnow 2, Grrr 1
