Lifetime Rating for renegade95: 3.0000 |   | Never let someone power. That's what you'll realize after you see how quickly a 2v2 on hunters can be spun from wild hatrid to my partener, to chaos and death for my opponents.
Here was the setup:
Me, Protoss, bottom left
~Grapefruit (aka cy6), Zerg, top left
JohnnyCage (i think), Terran, top mid
TheDevil, Terran, top right
I had played some successful games recently where I quickly took the middle and went for corsairs. So, I decided to make a strategy and use it to go for sairs :) I begun going up till I was 9/9, pylon, forge, assimilator. Then I went to the center and put up 2-3 pylons sorrounded with about 17 cannons. As luck would have it, they never saw the blasts from the Arctile Seige Tank. Anyway, my ally went for hydras with a standard build order. Back home, I now had 2 stargates and had my corsairs building (4, 2 in each). I started level 1 air upgrade. My ally's cry for help echoed in green federation font as seige tanks rolled up to his natural expansion and ate it for supper. I quickly got a fleet beacon for distruption web - a small break in which my ally's hydras could spit on those bloody machines. I had it soon enough, and they were gone. I got up to 12 corsairs and got two carriers. The attacks had continued.
A brief idea was transmitted from my opponent.
Dragoons.
I powered in the left-middle start location and got 6 gateways and about 30 pylons. 5 task forces of dragoons later, I was ready to go. Well, 2 screenfuls of dragoons will scare anyone away. I DWeb'd a few tanks and went in. White was gone before he had the time to finish cussing us out. Next door, TheDevil felt a chill run down his spine(is that possible?!) as my 5 task forces of dragoons creeped up, bearing only the memory of 4 dead dragoons. I stasised everything (everything!) in TheDevil's natural expansion, command center and all (I had energy for 20 dwebs and wanted to waste) but my past 2 carriers didn't smell game. TheDevil sunk back down to hell to be heard from never again.
How I could have died:
1) If he so much as dropped 3 shuttles of marines, my 2 cannons at my main would be gone along with the main itself. My exp had no defense.
And I'm so good they could not do anything else to kill me cause I'd laugh and they'd die.
GG! |
