oh well down to the vitals i guess
MAP:
The Lost Temple *is it really that lost? lot of people really go there alot =)*
Players
The Heroic Terran
(=Blank=) at 6
The Dastardly Tosser
Mylife4Hire at 12
And So the Game Begins...
Well as with all things nowadays a 1v1 starts in NH, (=Blank=) was looking for a 1v1 to play and Mylife4Hire decides to take up the challenge, me and cakemix decide to obs the game due to the fact we had a tiring 2v2 earlier =[ but oh well on to the game!
And Let the Violence Begin!
Well me 'n' cake both at start decide that want (=Blank=) to win just because of the fact of Terran Vs Toss =) but anyway onto the builds now
(=Blank=) Starts out with "the" basic terran build 8 depot 10 rax 10 rax, and hitting for the early gas.
and Mylife4Hire goes up for the ever so common 2 gate build *the battle of the common build orders =)*
they both seemingly send out a scv, and a probe at almost exactly the same time and both passed each other, I'm sure this is what the conversation sounded like
Deon the SCV =): Stupid friggin toss probe, we will be probing your toss ass soon
Robo the probe: *translated from korean, yes probes speak korean just like reavers do!* Good korea GOGOGOGOGO!
well anyway after this, both peons find vital imformation and after this (=Blank=) has gas up and academy almost dont and Mylife4Hire has a cy core and forge done and starting on gas
Enter The Pimp Squad
well after sensing weakness in his protoss foe (=Blank=) assembles perhaps the most feared early game attack, the Terran Pimp squad, He soonly assembles 8 marines 2 firebats and 2 medics and than sends them towards the protoss heart of evil but little does he know that Mylife4Hire has contimplated such a attack on his base he than sets up 2 photon cannons by his 2 gateways and his 3 zealots and 2 goons await the attack, and in this wait for the apocalyptic battle of... what 17 troops? okay nm bout the apocalyptic stuff, well anyway during the wait the observers both try to root for (=Blank=) but we both decide that the 2 cannons will the the end for the terran attackers
The pimp squad gets pimped
well both (=Blank=)'s terran forces and Mylife4Hire's protoss forces meet at the 12'oclock protoss base and the ensuing carnage begins, and as me and cake predicted the cannons were the deciding force in the encounter and all the pimp squad is takn down but not before taking down 2 zeals n a goon. And after this encounter both players decide that they should expand, and while expanding (=Blank=) sets up a factory and another rax while Mylife4Hire sets up a citidel of adun, and 2 more gateways.
And the Toss is a Fraidy Cat
well after both EXP's Are up the game seems to take the forever root, Deon still lucky to be alive is sent into the black heart of protoss evil, and while gaining news of a exp and more gateways finnaly succumbs this time around *oh my god you killed deon! you bastards! =)* ... and some random probe gets sent again and no info is found due to its rather neat exploding death at the hand of a arclite cannon. Mylife4Hire Decides though, that he will really want information and than proceeds to send dual zealot scouts towards (=Blank=)'s base, this time around though the mighty roar of the arclite cannon was not enough to succumb the mighty zealot and both find out vital info though M&M soonly cut them down, This could have been game deciding information because, with all 4 gateways going Mylife4Hire could have just ran over (=Blank=) with swarms of zealots and goons, but he decides not too *buck buck bucawww!* both EXP's are fully up and running and (=Blank=) decides that he wishes to throw up 2 starports, and the evil baddie tosser Mylife4Hire decides to *finally* throw up a temp archives and than soon expand to the 9 oclock gimmie expansion, and also during this time (=Blank=) expands to the bottom right island *jesus these kids like doing stuff at the same time don't they?
Let the expansion wars begin!
Well not slacking in the slightest, both players than take another curve, (=Blank=) throws up a science vessal and a covert ops along with a wraith strike force, and Mylife4Hire starts reinforcing his exp's with some cannons and templar, now deciding that he doesnt want to face carriers by letting the tosso having to many EXP's (=Blank=) than begins a rather dedicated attack on the 3 olocko gimie EXP, his force consists of 3 tanks 16ish rines 5 ghosts and 4 medics, and than proceeds to do something i have not seen in a darn long time
Enter the Whore strategy
Yes you heard the title right =) now for you unfamilier with the whore strategy let me break it down for you
there is a lead tank infront of all the units, now of course the lead tank can fire on whatever it sees, now in this case it was zealots, now anyway the tank fires and than all the zealots rush forth, yet to thier blooming surprise more tanks are there plus a lot of marines behind the lead tank, well after all this was said and done 10 zealots and a dragoon were wiped off the map, at the loss of only a single marine! =) now thats cost effective hehe. Well the other 2 tanks seige up in better positions to take down the wascaly protoss expansion and all would seem well that the expansion is going down and going down hard, and this would have been the truth except...
Why PSI storm is a roodypooh-candy assed spell
Oh yeah =( the 2 defending templar at the exp in thier last moments manage to take down 2 tanks and 10 rines and 3 ghosts, and more temps-goons OTW, Bottom line, Toss expansion saved. Now not being a slouch in his business Mylife4Hire expands at 3olock main and also now decides to take the fight to (=Blank=)'s island exp he soon sets in 3 shuttles 2 reavers 2 zealots and 3 dragoons and they are OTW to the expansion that has *no* turrets =( they land and all the poor SCV's than go to peon heaven*and damnit bob was 1 day away from retirement too DAMN YOU CRUEL WORLD!* well anyway all the SCV's go to peon heaven to meet all the fallen resource gather's of games past, They see Other SCV's *including Deon =)* drone's, probe's, peasents*yes peon heaven does include warcraft people god isnt racist to different games =)* and peons, and even the odd command and conquer harvester that has bitten the dust, But anyway back to the game =).
As the reavers and zeals and goons wreak havoc it seems that even the command center will be gone, but...
And here come the wraiths!
YESSS! (=Blank=) decides that he wont let his wraiths just sit there and eat doughnuts, he gets them moving thier high flying jockey asses down to the endangered expansion and than enable the mighty cloak, and all those reavers and goons and zealots meet thier maker as the burst lasers fly forth from the wraiths just like some sorta crazy starwars movie or something, and lo' the expansion is save from the ravaging protoss but there is still something sad to be at hand, the wraiths soon go back to thier doughnuts, thier colesthrohal level skyrockets and soon are not fit for wraith duty, but not all is sad though because of wonderful conscription =) soon the wraiths find new pilots and the game resumes again
Those durn ghosts: enter the nuke
well (=Blank=) only puts a few scvs back at the island exp*bad move =(* but than puts up a nuclear silo up at it, and fills it with the ultamite piece of destruction, the NUCLEAR BOMB! *evil music plays in the background* Soon-hence, a ghost sets on his cloak, and ventures forth to the back of the 3 base by land, and than shoots the precious nuclear bomb, and a few hectic moments though, an observer comes and THE weather change*storm duh =P* comes and ends the poor ghosts life, not delivering its payload. But always determined (=Blank=) quickly sets up another nuke and trys to go *up* the ramp this time around but is stoped because of 1 stupid goon that he could not pass, he winds up locking it down and trying to take it down with the ghost, though yet again fate is unkind to those of the ghost profession, and another observer and another storm quickly end that too =(
*yahh that toss guy hasnt attacked us forever*...OH SHIT!
well after amassing quite a impressive army of zeals/goons/templar Mylife4Hire decides that he finally takes the fight towards (=Blank=)'s gimmie and main, around the fight the grunting of zealots, blasts from the arclite cannnons, crys from stimpacks, and zwooping*well what the hell do goon shots sound like!?* from dragoons. Well when the smoke clears and its all said and done and the MILLIONS! and MILLIONS of the rocks fans are done chanting his name... oh wait im not the rock hehe =) let me redo that
AHEM *takes a glass of water and has a sip from it*
Well when the smoke clears and its all said and done, A marine and a single tank stand forth proudly at the battlesite, yet after this greivant battle, (=Blank=)' losses his gimmie expansion and therefore his main source of economy since he decided not to fully repopulate his island expansion, and therefore loses out bigtime =( and quickly another strikeforce is assembled by Mylife4Hire and (=Blank=) is forced to concede, GG's are passed around and the observers are saddened by the fact that the terran lost =(
... OH WAIT! i forgot to add me and cakemix during the game had some conversations on that (=Blank=) loves the backstreet boyz =) just thought i'd bring that up hehe
Lessons learned
-with the money flow coming in both players should of taken advantge and thrown up more unit producers
-other than that i really dont know it was a hard fought game and both players did as much as they could
great game to the both of ya! |
