Lifetime Rating for buck0: 7.0000 |  | This game was played on Lost Temple (like most others these days :)) I don't remember any of the people's names as I just joined a random game.
I went random and got terran, my partner chose protoss and so did both of our opponents (red, and blue respectively)
Red at 12 blue at 6.
I started a 9 o'clock and my partner started at 3. We decided to rush one of the toss opponents so I just went with a standard 2 barracks and my partner a 2 gate rush. As we were deciding who to rush 6 or 7 zealots came into my partner's base from both or our protoss opponents. My partner held off the attack with a couple of cannons and 3 or 4 zealots. I helped him finish the attacking zealots off with 6 marines, dancing when being attacked and not losing any although 3 were injured.
I then took my 6 marines along with 4 more from my 2 barracks to red's base but he had cannons and a few zealots so after losing 4 or 5 marines I retreated.
I threw down an academy and refinery for bats and medics. While this was happening my partner was rebuilding a couple of cannons and getting a cyber core. Then, about 12 zealots came into my partner's base and by the time I got there, with a few bats marines and medics (with stimpack upgrade) his base was pretty much gone. I had just started building a factory and expanding to the top right island at the same time.
I don't have very much experience with 2v2 so when my partner was apologizing for sucking I really didn't mind and said I suck at 2v2 anyways. I was figuring this game was pretty much over but since all I had seen from either opponent was zealots, I figured I'd make them work for their win. I made a couple more bats (totaling about 6) and told them to hold position at the top of my ramp with 2 medics standing behind them. In came the first wave of zealots and the bats fried them all with no losses! I figured they'd be teching so I got a eng bay (witch I probably should have had a lot earlier) and expanded to the bottom right island as well. I built turrets at both islands and one behind my bats. I had a couple of tanks when they attacked next with another 12 zealots and about 6 goons. I was repairing my tanks so again i lost nothing.
I was just waiting for someone to drop on my base and then I would have said gg but they kept trying to overpower me instead of dropping. When blue finally did drop it was 2 reavers next to my tanks (not in my scv line where I would have expected). I lost both tanks but was able to take out the reavers as well. I had lots of resourses coming in from my 2 expansions so I built 2 starports and started building wraiths. When I had 6 or 7 with cloaking ability researched, I flew over to blue's base to find no cannons or defense of any kind. Only zealots with a couple of goons. I cloaked and took out all his probes. I looked for any expansions but he hadn't expanded.
A couple more wraiths had finished so I took 8 wraiths up to red's base hoping to find the same thing and to my joy I saw about 4 cannons warping in. I made him cancel 2 but the other 2 warped in. I was able to attack part of his mineral line without being attacked so I held position and took out about half of his probes.
I kept pumping wraiths and had 2 groups of 7 at one time. I scanned blue's base and saw that he was warping in cannons all around the outside of his base with one probe mining. I ran 7 wraiths in past the shooting cannons and took out his last probe. :)
I then sent all (about 12) wraiths into red's base and took out his 2 cannons and the rest of his minerals. None of his goons could see me after that and I took out the rest of his probes. He didn't have any expansions either.
After this they both cussed me out and wanted me to ally with them since they couldn't do anything and it would take me forever to kill all of their buildings, but I said I had all day and would just take my time (even though I really had to go in about 5 minutes). I said they weren't going to ally with me so why should I ally with them. They cussed me out a little more and left.
Lessons to learn-
-First of all, I know it wasn't that I was so good but we were playing with a couple of newbies (I mean I was about to quit).
-Be sure to protect mineral line not just outside of base
Any other comments welcome.
