Lifetime Rating for GhOsT~lizard: 5.4493 |   | Well Ghost is back and he got another great BR for you to enjoy. Yesterday I played 3 HORRIBLE games, I'm always nervous when mark's watching:( I lost 1 to mark's zerg, I got disced in me vs mark terr/terr and then I lost to Thorn terr/toss on dire which I could've won had I been able to micro my tanx:( But anyways, its a new day and this morning I decided to get a game going, surprisingly I found limping in nohunters and we played 2 games. I'm not gonna BR the first one, it was terr/toss, I just bunkered him in and he gave up. Now the second one was a lot better, terr/zerg on LT, here we go!
VITAL INFORMATION:
Map:LostTemple
Me:Ghost~Lizard(terran) 9o'clock
LurkerBoy:limping(zerg) 12o'clok
BATTLE COMMENCES:
I started out with a different BO this time, I made depot, 2 rax, acad, refinery then depot. I scouted him with my 8th peon, he had a pool and was getting gas. I knew that ment lurkers.
BUNKER LOVE:
Knowing I wasn't too lurker prepared I decided to distract him, sent an scv and 8 rines down to his ramp and started a bunker at the bottom, my first SCV got killed by lings, I send down 8 more rines and 1 more SCV and finish the bunker. I keep pouring my troops down there when lurker spines start to tear up my troops, my comsat isn't charged up enough and my ebay is almost ready. I pull my guys out and run back home. Being a careless bastard that I am I forget to fly my ebay along which I built by my bunkers for tank spotting, lurkers and a hydra kill it. NOW I'm PISSED!!
GIMME THE LURKERS BRUTHA:
While I was bunkering him in I floated a CC down to the 6 o'clock and transfered some SCVs. I made 2 bunkers, turret and a rax there. My expansion was on track in no time. Thats when I see the nasty overlords coming, I stim my marines and kill one, 2 lurkers get dropped and my tank kills them both before they do any damage.
MORE LURKERS:
Thats when he drops near my peon lines, but thanks to good building placement all he kills is 3 marines, loses about 6 lurkers to tank fire:) While all that is going on I float another CC down to my gimme, but before i can land it I have to eliminate a lurker that was trying hard to contain me. I once again transfer some SCVs and and make my standard bunker/turret D combo.
HI MR.PEON:
I'm doing great now, my rines are 2/1 and I got a startpor and a sci fac, I throw down 2 more rax at my exp and 3 more starpots for SVs. Who needs tanx when you got the evil scientists on your side:) I comat his gimme and see that he got an expansion going there, I load up a dropship of 7 rines and a bat and drop into his peon line, I take out more then half of his workers and a lurker but then another bastard shows up and shreds my marines.
STOP IT!:
I think that last drop pissed him off because seconds later he unloads 2 OLs of hydras into my gimme's peon line, all he gets is 3-4 SCVs and then 2/2 rines come and greet the guests. I comsat the upper left island and see that he got a hatchery morphing, I send down a dropship of M&Ms and a valk, expansion dies. Knowing that he got other things on his mind I expand to the 6 gimme and secure it with bunker/turret, transfer some peons and M&Ms and get a refinery, fast, efficient, effective is what that method is.
DANG IT, HE GOT ONE:
I keep scanning and find that he got a well defended expansion on the lower right island, knowing that dropping any M&Ms in there would be a suicide I opt for tanx out of the sunker range, I drop them on the edge of the island and siege em up, I take out 2 sunkens and a spore when he drops 2 hydras and a lurker on top of my tanx, they die:( Knowing that his defense is broke I follow up with a M&M drop, take out his peons but get killed by lurker/hydra combo:(
ZERG'S REVENGE:
I think I accidently pissed him off again since he dropped a bunch of hydras and lurkers at the cliff over my gimme, he took out some drones and an extractor, but 5 SVs irradiated his stuff and the drop died:)
GOOD NIGHT MR.ZERG:
Ok so up to this point, I got 3 exps, he got 2, I'm 3/3 he's 1/1 so I decide to end the game right there. I throw all I got at him, my 4 tanx, all my M&Ms and 10+ SVs. A long and bloody battle is fought at the ramp, I lose some he loses lots thanx to irradiate. Finally I get up the ramp and start blasting his main to hell, he calls gg and asks for another rematch, but I'm far too exhausted to play another game and decline.
LESSONS LEARNED:
-Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade because of me bing 3/3 while he's 1/1 I was able to kill tons more.
-Lurkers ain't all that as long as you keep em out of your peon lines:)
-M&MS and SVs rape zerg too much:)
-TERRAN ROX!!! | | Battle Shots! | 
This is the only shot I got, I keep forgetting to take em during big battles:(
