Lifetime Rating for ralessi: 6.2500 |  | It started out first with a terran v toss matchup. Being toss, I, of course, beat him badly(the funny thing was I did it with a small zealot rush to take out his academy so he didn't have comstat). Anyway, he quit right when 2 DT's finished =( Then, I wanted to practice terr v terr and we made it on a terran map, showdown =)
Game Type: Melee
Map: Showdown
Participants: ralessi(me) - terran - top starting position
Mind_Twist - terran - bottom starting position
Here is a picture of the map
The Report
I started off in the top position. I did my normal terran build of 8 depot, 10 rax, 12 rax. I kept pumping SCV's and marines and built a depot on 14. I kept pumping SCV's and marines, making depots when neccesary, and started up gas. I put 4 workers on it and when I had enough gas I started a factory. After the factory started building I made an academy, and scouted with an SCV.
When scouting, I saw an academy, factory w/ machine shop, a starport, and some scattered marines and vultures. I figured he was going for mines so I kept building marines, medics, and tanks.
Soon I decided to attack. I comstatted him(I built this when my academy finished), and saw several mines. I figured my marines would kill these before they did any damage. So I sent 12 marines, 3 tanks, and 2 medics. I also had U238 Shells and stimpacks. Boy, was I wrong... I forgot to attack move my marines, and then.... BAM!!! 12 marines with 1 mine. I thought this wasnt going to work well(the attack) but I sieged up my tanks anyway. I killed all his marines and vultures before they while only losing 1 tank. I sent 6 more marines, 2 medics, and 3 more tanks to finish him off his main. He ended up floating some stuff away and starting some expansions.
At my main during this attack, I kept pumping SCV's, marines, medics, and tanks out of 2 factories. I layed down 2 starports and started making wraiths. I researched cloak and extra energy at the same time(I built 2 control towers). I also expanded to my mineral-only natural at this time.
His main was completely gone so I sent my wraiths to look for floating buildings. When I found some, I found them in a group. My two wraiths(later reinforced with 4 more)killed a factory, a barracks, and a starport.
At home, I made a science facility, made the covert-ops addon, and started making some ghosts. Because the geyser at my main was almost gone, I expanded to Mind_Twist's former main, and the island close to me. Now I had 4 CC's. One with a comstat.
Since I knew I would win this game, I decided to have some fun. I made 3 nuke facilities on my 3 CC's and kept pumping ghosts. I researched cloaking for my ghosts, along with ocular implants, and make 3 nukes. By this time, I knew he had the two center expansions and the island expansion near his old main.
When the nukes finished, I took a ghost, put it on the cliff near the top center expansion, and nuked it. Then, I moved the ghost down, and he(sob) sacrificed his life for the good of the nuke. I moved in my wraiths(now 2/2 upgraded) and finished off that base.
I made two more nukes, and went down to his next expansion. I put two on the cliff, and nuked it twice at the same time. I made a mistake in placement though, as both of the ghosts died. I came in with my wraiths and finished it off.
As It was flying in, it was pelted with tons of missiles. Luckily, I unloaded the ghost *RIGHT* before the ship exploded into 3908578346734677983798 pieces. Mind_Twist screamed at me asking how that could have happened. All I did was laugh. Anyway, I nuked the turrets, and they all died.
Now I had 2 nukes left, So I transported 2 more ghosts in. I saw a turret being built, So I flew in my 12 or so wraiths and killed the SCV he had left(it was the only one). Now I transported in my ghosts, And nuked the rest of his buildings twice. Both of the ghosts died while trying to run away from the deadly blast.
GG's were exchanged and he exited the game.
Lessons Learned
1.) Nukes rule!!!
2.) Terran is the best race to play(it's the most fun) but they suck against protoss(well I didn't learn that from this game... hmm... hehe).
3.) When tanks with no support attack you, shift-que marines and vultures right next to the tanks so they can't fire.
4.) Nukes rule!!! =))
