Lifetime Rating for PR()T()$$: 6.4000 |   | Well I've been playing pure terran lately and well quiet frankly losing A LOT! So I decided to go back to toss which I mastered in vanilla. I didn't know if my skillz were up to BW standard but apparently they were since I tottally owned the poor terran soul:)
VITAL INFORMATION:
Map:Lost Temple
Good Guy: PR()TO()$$(toss)
Bad Guy:Treesparrow(terran)
BATTLE COMMENCES:
So the match has started, since I'm so used to terran I kept pressing "S" to make probes. After about 10 fruitless attempts I remembered that you have to press "P". I scouted terran early with my 7th probe and found him right below me. He was walling in with a rax, I ran my probe in and damaged an SCV. Back at home I made 2 gates and a cyber core, I decided to save my money for troops and made the forge later. I put 5 zealots to guard my choke and jumpeed to DTs. I made 2 and sent them over to his base, I intrcepted a M&M squad heading for my main, DTs killed all the medics and some bats and rines. I ran 1 more DT in to finish the job.
THE CONTAINMENT GAME:
I tried to run my DT past his choke but couldn't since it was walled off with bunkers and tanx. Since I couldn't really assault his main I decided to play the containment game. I expanded to my gimme and put a DT to at his gimme.
SOME GUESTS DROP IN:
I was rolling and thats when i saw a dropship heading for my peons, he dropped some bats and meds which were dispatched by my DTs but not before taking about about 1/2 of my peon line, it wasn't really much of a hit to my economy as I had an expansion rolling.
THOSE GUESTS JUST KEEP COMING:
About 2 minutes after the drop on my main peons he dropped my expansion, but range upgraded goons took his marines and dropship out, I only lost like 3 probes.
I'M A MEANIE:
I made a robo facil and a shuttle at my main, I dropped 2 DTs into his peon lines and take out about 3/4 of it before vultures and bats arrive, I reload my shuttle and drop 2 goons, I take out some vultures and a bat but his SCVs kill the goons. Then I drop 3 zealots but they get killed by mines without doing much damage.
AHA:
At that point I have a robo facility, observatory and support bay. My observer spots an expansion on the island, I drop 2 goons and take out most of his peons. Then my reaver pops out, I drop him with a reaver and kill some marines and SCVs before a wrath smokes my reaver.
I TAKE CONTROL:
My main is now empty, I transfer all the probes to my gimme and load one up along with a goon to grab a island. As I drop off the cargo i see him tyring to expand there with only an SCV, my goon promptly kills it and I put up a nexus along with a pylon and some cannons.
OBSERVING:
Now I have obsrvers everywhere and I spot another expansion attempt, I send some goons and kill his CC and 2 SCVs. Thats when I see that DT that I left at his gimme gets killed by tanx and bats. He expanded there. I send my probe over to his ex-expansion and claim it for myself. Back at the base I have 6 gates pumping mad goons, my goons are 3/2 and really kick some ass.
KEEPING THE PRESSURE ON:
As soon as his CC is finished at his gimme I send over 24 goons, I kill 3 tanx and a bunker and badly damage his CC but he manages to stop my attack. Just as my lsst goon goes down I drop a reaver on his gimme, I kill all the SCVs and badly damage the CC again, but it still lifts off and survives. I send a probe over to the west start location and expand there too. Then I look at the map and seee that he got an expansion right below mine, I send some goons over and kill it, but BCs arrive to finish off my goons.
DISTURBING NEWS:
At his island expansion my observer spots some really disturbing stuff, he's massing BCs. But I'm not really worried at that point since I got 10+ temps with PSI. I also put down 3 stargates at my main and pump scouts, thats when he attacks with BCs and SVs. I fight them off with PSI and goons, but lose 2 stargates:( He retreats but not before losing about 1/3 of his BCs and 3 SVs. I put donw 3 more stargates at my expansion and pump scout, my goon production is also constant.
LAST DITCH EFFORTS:
He attacks again with about 10 BCs and tries to drop 2 dropships worth of M&M but I PSI them and his ships and troops die. The last battle was pretty cool, he irradiated some temps and EMPed my goons but 5+ storms, 3/3 goons and scouts diminished his force with minimal losses. At that point he says, "Come and kill me." I say "Ok,coming" thats when he says "gg" and leaves.
LESSONS LEARNED:
-My toss skilz are still razor sharp.
-Toss are easy as hell to play, I worked about 1/4 as hard as I do with terran and owned him.
-3/3 goons own all, even tanx on ledges couldn't stop my destructive force.
-Reavers are great peon killers, they killed A LOT of em.
-Keep observers everywhere, i had great recon and was able to crush all expansion attempts.
-Terran/Toss is imbalanced, toss own too much.
-I OWN!:)
Hope ya enjoyed this one. BTW Bulgarokton, if you read this I will write a BR for the game I observed, I just need some time:)
