Map: Winter Conquest
Please note we lost the first game, which was played on Forsaken Valley.
As we started, I said I would go for Observers and reavers, ProZerg went the templar route. We both had the idea to take the center islands at the same time. Ok there are high snow ground areas not islands but islands sound much better than high snow ground. Anyway ProZerg took the north island, and I the south. Wait YaYa was there already. ProZerg sent 3 zealots over and I started a nexus after the other was crushed. Soon I was kicked off the Island as well, muts and shuttles and reavers oh my.
Meanwhile, Yaya must have expanded to the open 6 start as I started to expand to the open 2. I just had finished of some muts when YaYa came with some hard ground. PZ bailed me out with some templar action. YaYa did finally push me out and after I rebuilt he pushed me out again. I never recovered from this third nexus/resource loss.
Anyway, on the west side of the map, PZ was holding off YaYa's occasional journey over, and Kakaru's Zerg units. With my expansion to my natural running I thought I had good resources coming in, not, I look over all my probes are dead at my natural save 2 of PZ templars. He bailed my ass out again. By this time you see a pattern right.
Not having many troops, I turned into the mirco king and started to reaver and templar drop poor Kakaru's main. He either sucks, or PZ was opening cans off whoopass on him. I say it was the later of those 2. He had very little left by this time. I noticed ProZergs attempt to clean up the south island of the zerg failed so I moved in split open some zergling. No one ever controlled that south island long. So you can call it Blood Mountain.
Meanwhile, with Kakaru hurt and YaYa controlling most of the eastern map, ProZerg had created a nice sized carrier
fleet. Usually, I think carrier fleets are a bit cheese, but damnit the cheese was on my side. We left Kakaru with a couple building provided that he only watch the rest of the match. Yaya did counter PZ a couple times but lost his shirt to the cannons on the north isle with all those templars and carriers.
I sent my last 4 shuttles of troops, lost 3, damn I suck, (I never saw the cannons) over to YaYa's new base at 2 o'clocks natural expansion. I did take out his probes and 2 of 3 cannons before the carriers arrived with support, I had 4 templar and maybe 6 cannons left at the end, If Yaya would have hit me I was doomed, but the ProZerg-Hybrid ruled the day and we won our rematch.
What I learned
1. Get some pics, I had a comple but they sucked. They where from the end.
2. I suck.
3. Observers make better BR writers.
4. This being my first report sucks. Wrote it at work
too :-)
5. Never run out of rock.
6. Yaya and Kakaru are good
7. 2 Zealots blocking a ramp with templar backup can kick seroius ass. (seen it before but PZ does it so well)
8. I suck, and do not run out of rock.
9. I need HTML on my PC at work. |
