Lifetime Rating for ~Äzñ[c]§tÿlé~: 5.5000 |   | Finals are coming up and I had to get as many game in as possible... I got on GX-server instead of B.net because there is no server split on GX.
Being one of the top players on GX, I was recommended by this guy to play redmooN. I knew he was good cause I heard of his name back in the war2 days and in SC. I accepted the challenge and it was on Lost temple.
The game started out as redmoon chose Terran and build at 9, while I went random (drew Terran also) and build at 6.
Early Game:
The game started smoothly as we both build up our units. I chose to go 1 barrack 2 factory vulture rush. I walled off my ramp with 1 scv and 1 marine to prevent him from scouting my base. Luckily he didn't wall off his ramp and I was able to scout his base. Seeing 2 barrack and academy I build a bunker at my ramp to protect my base. 8 marines, 2 medics and 1 bat came, my marines were inside my bunker so he got smart and stim his marines past my bunker to attack my scv. So I was forced to unload my bunker to fend off the attack.
As soon as my factories were done I upgraded spider mine build 4 vultures and put spider mine at all the expansion site. When I scouted him again and saw that he has tanks already, I quickly researched siege tanks too. But he got slick and at the channel between my base and his base he siege his tanks there. He floated his barrack to increase tank sight and this proves to be dreadful. Tanks with max sight hammered on my supply depot, rax and factory and even my command center =(.I manage to survive the attack after losing 3 supply depots, I had to float my factory, barrack and repair my command center to save them.
Mid game:
During this whole time while I was being siege, I flew a shuttle to the bottom right island with an scv. I build a com center and build a few turrent at the bottom half of the island. But just for being stupid and not building turrent at the outta half of the island, redmooN brought in 2 tanks, 5 wraiths and 1 vessel and siege my island. I knew this was going to happen and I let it happen...I coulda prevented this just by simply building turrents all around my island. I think I'll smack myself in the head for that. =( But luckily with while he was paying attention all his wraiths flew into my turrents and got destroyed. I then proceeded to attack with 4 of my own wraith and eliminated the threat. I manage to save my island expansion and rebuild turrent all around it.
As all this was going on he took his natural expansion at 9. I loaded up 2 tanks 4 marines and 2 scv and landed them safely on his cliff. First I build 2 turrents and 1 bunker and offensive tank his expansion. This did fairly well as I killed a lot of his scvs. But little did I know he loaded a ghost up the cliff and lockdown my 2 tanks and proceed with his siege tank to kill off my threat. I then loaded up a shuttle with 4 vultures and dropped them at his main as vultures chew up scv. I manage to kill off 1/2 of his scv before he ran them to safety.
Late game:
The game began to turn as he started to seige my base with his own tanks, wraiths, marines and ghost. He cloaked all his ghosts and locked down all my tanks. Boy I was piss as he NUKED my base. =( From there on is was all downfall for me. He had Battle cruisers, tanks, marines, bats, and ghost. At one point he was nuking me and I saw his ghost and proceed to kill it with my stim marines, but he defensive matrix his ghost =( and the nuked dropped. I lost most of my supply depot. When his BC's came I pretty much gave up, I had no units to fight him. =( He raped.
Moral:
-Take advantage of the channel seige opportunity, float ur Rax to increase tanks sight.
-Terran ghost are good vs terran and toss. Ghost can lockdown most teran and toss units especially carriers and BC's. Use ghost as offensive units and you will be surprize what lockdown can do for you.
-When u nuke and your ghost get spotted, Defensive matrix it. So the ghost will survive long enough to nuke.
-redmooN is the shit... Don't mess with him.
-Make Vessels to emp and matrix your units.
Blah... I have no pictures =(
