Lifetime Rating for _Hiro_: 6.0000 |  | I am a quite a newbie Terran player, as this is my 6th game as Terran and also this is my first BR, so tell me what i can improve on (BR, strats, gameplay etc). After playing about a zillion games as Zerg, I decided to play primary Terrans, (Thank you Johnny_Vegas, Heartcutter, Ghost~lizard for inspiring me to use Terran, you guys kick ass!)
After enduring countless barrages of Big Game Hunter games I decided to join the first non-hunter game, Blood Bath.
2V2 Bloodbath
(Note, i forgotten my opponents names, so i refer to my protoss ally as P1, Zerg opponents Z1 and Z2)
_Hiro_ (me) Terran 11'oclock
Partner P1 Protoss 5'oclock
VS
Z1 Zerg 1oclock
Z2 Zerg 7oclock
Fearing an inevitable rush, i built a barrack at 6/10, a supply depot at 7, and a bunker as soon as my barrack is finished, i built a bunker soon after. My partner has 1 pylon and 1 gateway when Z1 and Z2 attacked him with 12 zerglings. With no availible defence, my partner ran his probes into my base, built a pylon so that he could watch the battle and wished me luck. During all this I built my 2nd barrack at 8/18 and began a refinery at 9/18, my bunker is now filled with marines. I ask my doomed partner to send probe scout Z1's base while I
go attack one of the two Zerg's with my 4 bunkered
marines, meanwhile, the 12 zerglings are destroying the
gateway. My partner's probe revealed that Z1's main is defended by 1 sunken with 2 more sunkens morphing. Knowing that my marines stand no chances i ordered them to
investigate Z2's main.
My 4 marines, found Z2's base totally undefended.
Fearing quick retaliation I ordered my marines
to concentrate fire on Z2's poor defenceless drones, and
drones began popping left and right. A quick glimpes on the
minimap showed that both zerg are leaving my partner's base
with the gateway still intact, apparently trying to save
Z2's main, meanwhile, a build another supply depot and a
acadamy soon afterwords. I had just killed all of Z2's
drones and began to attack the spawning pool when my marines
engaged the 12 zerglings. Knowing my marines stand no
chance I lead my marines back to my base running for their
lives with the 12 zerglings running after. My poor, 4
marines led the 12 zerglings run right into my 5 marines
and bunker and were torn to pieces with no casulalties on my
part.
As soon as i had the resources i started to build a
factory and sent 1 marine scout into both Z1 and Z2's mains,
Recon showed that Z1 has roughly 5 sunkens built and Z2
has nothing but drones and 1 sunken. As my Factory is built, i immediatly start building another along with another barracks for rapid marine production. After beginning the construction on both factory and barrack i finally remembered to build two important Terran buildings along with one of the most important upgrades; the Engineering Bay, the vital-Comsat and the StimPack, doh! Since i had so much gas i just threw up a comsat station on my CC and reserched stimpack as soon as the minerals became avalible, a built an engineering bay after my 2nd factory is built.
With a task force of 12 marines, 3 medics, 2 tanks, and 2 scv's, I ordered them to Z2's choke point, and ordered anotehr task force of 12 marines, 2 medics, 1 tank and 2 scv into Z1's choke point for a two pronged assault. At this point i forgotten to build more supply depots, i quickly construct 2 more. At Z1's choke i built 2 bunkers, 3 missile turrets and sieged the tank, the same thing occurs in Z2's choke. One quick comsat indicated that Z2 has only 2 sunkens defending this main, i edged my tanks a little bit closer, sieged, and BLAM! began to fire on those nasty sunkens. Soon afterwords Z1 sent his forces out to save his partner, a dozen or so zerglings and just over a dozen hydras, i think. Quick and easy kills for me. The sunkens protecting Z2's main is now gone, so i stim my marines and began killing the vile zerg colony, Z2 quit shortly afterwords.
I sent 6 marines, 1 tank and 4 scv's to Z2's old main and began an expansion. Meanwhile, i finally remembered to build more buildings and train more units, so i threw up a starport and 2 more supply depots. meanwhile, 24 marines, 8 medics, and 6 tanks are trying to blast there way into Z1's massive amount of sunkens, we're talking about row after row of sunkens, with more sunkens than grams of fat in a super deluxe cheeseburger. Ah crap! 4 guardians are attacking my tanks and killed one before my marine force killed one and drove them away, but not before suffering massive casualties from Z1's sunkens. My starport was completed around this time so 1 que up 3 wraiths and start construction on a science facility.
Z1 is not a bad micormanager, as he would attack my tanks and run away after my marines retaliate, then attack my units at another angle, this exchange went on for along time, so long that i didnt even have time to que up more units. Finally! three wraiths are built! i charge my wraiths in and kill a guardians and wounding another until i was stupid enough for Z1 to trick me into flying straight into 3 spore colonies deep inside his main and killed 1 of my wraiths, and almost destroying another before i could retreat back to safer space. My sci facility is completed, and i reserch 2/1 for my marines, built more wraiths, attached a covert ops to the sci facility, trained 3 ghosts and began reserching optic flare, which ill explain why later. I expanded to my parter's old main.
As soon as the covert ops is built I built a nuke silo on all of my expansion CC. Meanwhile, Z1's guardians are harrasing my units again, and killed another tank and loosing another guardians before having to retreat toward his spore colonies. Finally! the nukes are built. I cloak my ghosts and ordered both of them to nuke the Greater Spire, i station about 4 medics next to the ghosts. NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED, NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED, NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED! An overlord came along and i optic flared it, another overlord came, optic flare, then another then another, until finally Z1 got pissed and began attacking my medics with his guardians, too late, the nukes fell. BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!! the Greater Spire along with about 4 sunkens, the three guardians and a hydra den went squish, he conceeded shortly after.
Victory number 3 as Terran!
