In Memory of Mr. SCV :' (

Some Thoughts

Lets see how do I do this...

I have not done anything like this for quite some time, well actually never.

I decided to play a little Ladder game after being inspired by Doom-'s "How2winladder" replay with "Doom- vs. -=Krone=-", and decided to try what he did with an exception of my opponent being Protoss.

Early game

I started going with 7 SCVs and then a Supply Depot, and he went with a 5 Probes gathering and then searching for me. The map only was for 2 players so it was a short search. By the time he found me I just got done with my Depot and was sending Mr. SCV to find him. At that moment he hit his unit limit and was forced to build a Pylon (big mistake there). As his pesky Probe was going though my base I attacked it with two SCVs and it ran, not far though it than sat outside of my base. I then built another Depot and a Barracks, and was hoping slow old Mr. SCV would make it to his base before the Probe, which I thought was going back to its home. The Probe would come to haunt me latter by building a Gateway by my base. Once Mr. SCV finally go to his base he had a Gateway build and started another, at this point a started to build a Barracks next to his base. A little bit after I started to build an Academy be had one Zealot and started building with his little nightmare Probe. With his Zealot he seen me building my Barracks and sought to destroy Mr. SCV but was not able to alone and called his other friend Zealot that was just made, they succeeded in destroying him. The hero bravely finished the Barracks and was able to save it from destruction, I then lifted it off and laid it above his Probes and I started my revenge for Mr. SCV. A few seconds after his Pylon that was building by my base was finished, and then he started to build a Gateway.

Mid game

Once Mr. SCV finally go to his base he had a Gateway build and started another, at this point a started to build a Barracks next to his base. A little bit after I started to build an Academy be had one Zealot and started building with his little nightmare Probe. With his Zealot he seen me building my Barracks and sought to destroy Mr. SCV but was not able to alone and called his other friend Zealot that was just made, they succeeded in destroying him. The hero bravely finished the Barracks and was able to save it from destruction, I then lifted it off and laid it above his Probes and I started my revenge for Mr. SCV. A few seconds after his Pylon that was building by my base was finished, and then he started to build a Gateway. He finally started to get some gas, but he still went Zealots. A little bit after I started on my third Barracks I seen the devil him self (THE DAMN PROBE!!) well I had five Marines lying around so I said to my self (Kill the little BASTARD!!), and I got him =) in the process I found the little Pylon and Gateway by my base and killed it. As I look at the reply I realize that if there where three or four seconds there would of been a Zealot on my Marines, and they would of been sore after that. In retaliation he attacked me with eight Zealots at the same time I was sending six Marines, three Firebats, and I regret this part one lousy Medic. When they encountered each other I lost four Marines, and two Firebats.

End game
I had four Marines on top of the Probes and they where loosing numbers fast. At this time I almost had a Factory built, and sent some reinforcements to the battle winning heroes one Marine, one Firebat, and two Medics. I then started to build a Starport to go with the Factory. I sent a SCV down to a mineral patch and was hoping to expand but never got around to it. I waited with my units out side of his base until the reinforcements got there. I then slipped by his outgoing attack force which was nine Zealots, I proceeded to attack his base and he did not return his attacking forces maybe hoping it would kill me. I had started to make more units to help the attack but thought best to use them to defend his attack. I also moved my Barracks down from Operation: Revenge. By the time his Zealots hit my base I had one Marine four Firebats, two Medics, and one Tank with Siege Mode =) to defend my main. He was able the kill the tank (which he was very proud of), non the less I was able to kill his attack with just that one loss. I then sent more reinforcements to his base, which was giving no resistance at all.
