Map: Hot Zone
2 Observers, Velociraptors and.. ? forgot other guy.
Ok, I forget what one of the observers names was, but I know one of them was Velociraptors.
Anyway, game started off with him finding me with an SCV, and I find him with my lord. I get pool on 9th, extractor, blah blah, and soon had one hatcherie and a lair, and a spire. I was starting to get muties, and every now and then I would make some zerglings. Speed upgraded. Soon I took the expansion above me. I had 12 zerglings burrowed in front of my base, wayy out there, and 2 lurkers a half screens distance outside my creep, so the average terran player wouldnt scan there, only around my base. I had another 12 zerglings burrowed very close to my base, and about 7 muties hovering over my expansion. I had scattered lords, and I was taking an expansion check around the map when I saw about a dozen marines, a handful of medics, and about 4 tanks and an SCV or two. "Oh crap" I was thinking. I knew i would have to kill the force now, or take extreme losses. Knowing that if i sent the muties in alone, they would be ripped to shreds by super stimmed marines. So, i unburrowed both my my groups of lings, and the bottom group was moving in to attack the force at the same time my muties were, so the lings were running right under my muties. The rear group of lings hit the tanks and marines at the same time the front mutie/ling group did, and it was an insane ambush. After all the bloodshed, I didnt lose any muties, had one with about 3 hitpoints left, and lost about 6 lings in each group.That was great, lost only about 300 minerals, and he lost alot more than that. I continued to keep upgrading my zerg air armor, and got a greator spire up. I see about 6 Valks storm thru and launch a volley of rockets at my lord, killing it. another hit and run at my next few lords, and I got a few hits up with my Devs/Muties. maybe 4 devs, 12 muties. After killing a ton of stray overlords, i get sick of him and make 24 hydras. I muster all my forces in a clump, but spread out my air units. even my lords were in there. He attacks with the valks again, and i kill them off with my hydras. I am morphing guardians, in addition to the few i already had. I destroy his expansion, and he still dosnt have science vessals. (Phew!) Nuclear Launch Detected. I scan both bases, see no dot at my expansion, and he killed my lords at my main. There was nothing at my main withen nuke range except hive, pool, and hatcherie, and a few sunkens. 1 drone on gas (depleted already) I was thinking of saving the drone, but the nuke hit. The drone was in the extractor when it hit :) It lived :)
Anyways, waste of nuke, no losses. I know he has to have expansion somewhere, so i check top left. Bingo. 1 tower, armory, starport, sci facility, CC w/nuke and some supply depots. send in 24 lings, with their new crack upgrade, and they shred it in seconds. Strangely, no ground defence, and he sent nothing to save it. Not even liftoff.
I take 2 more expansions at the left side, bottom left and middle left. I have about 18 muties, 8 devs, and 12 guards (in cacoons morhping) 36 hydras, 24 lings, and I am right outside TT's main. He sets up about the same force he tried to tank push me with earlier, and right as he kills about 4 hydras and 6 lings when the tanks siege, the guards hatch. Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom, all tanks die. i kill some towers, and I hear "GG".
Huh? Oh well, GG I say back. Observers start making comments on how no SV , and i say that i was very glad he made no SV :)
I kill some expansion in the leftern area, and that was the end of it.
What we learned:
- Guard expansions better
- Keep a close eye on your units at all times ( Ambushing the tank push party)
- Dont waste nukes on something that wont die ( Hive with 2800 hitpoints, heh)
- Build science vessals
- keep a close eye on the radar
- protect your o'lords :)
