Lifetime Rating for ChoboManner!: 5.0000 |  | Well, Tonight I set out to play people I Thought/Knew people that were better than me. I needed more experience, and I knew I was fairly good, so I decided to see how I lose etc.
My first match was Protoss vs A protoss.
My enemy protoss was a nohunters *celebrity* who shall remain anounamous. I do not feel the need in mentioning it unless I am br'ing it. Well, I just overpowered him with storm/reavers/drags and zealots and after 30 minutes of battle, I won.
Sooooo, feeling quite good, I decided a challenge to Storminator! would be nice. He had a 1200 ladder ranking, and Few discs. Few is italised for a reason as you will see later.
Let the battles, Begin!
Well, we selected temple as our battleground and I selected protoss knowing I am fairly good with them. Storminator! selected random and we were off.
I landed upon the 12:00 plateau and he was at 3:00.
I was a protoss, and he was a terran as my scouting probe discovered a barracks making. I attacked the scv making it, and returned to probe production. I warped in a gateway and a zealot, then a assimlator. A scv got in my base with 12 hits and scouted me just as I began warping a cybernetics core from Auir. Well, I am warping in a citadel and a second gateway right now. Another scouting attempt discovers 3 barracks.... but the zealot didn't live past that. I began templar archives for hopes of dtemp rush | containment or to hold off a attack.
Now, I am warping in my #4 and #5 zealot queed up by 2 dark templars when I see 14+ marines and a couple of medics coming at me.
" What would Maynard do? " -- My thoughts
Well, I formed my zealots in a loose formation on my ramp while marines stimmed and charged up. As soon as they reached top, I closed them out. Making the marines dance around at the bottom and fooling up the marines. I saw a movie of maynard do that actually. But that's another story... Well, eventually he worked his way up because 4 zealots can't kill 15 marines and medics with range and stimpack..... But, I just heard the sound the dark templar make and then a few slice 'n dices later marine skulls were put on a stick and we all danced for joy. I made 5 more dark templar ( To discourage marines ) and warped in gateways #3 , #4 and made a forge with weapons upgrade.
Dragoon range has begun and now I am Making mass dragoons and researching psi storm when I hear
" You require more vespene gas. "
Doh! Oh well, zealots will have to do for a sec. Weapons upgrade began and a cannon by my nexus, and a pylon at the bottom of my chokepoint and 2 cannons. I expand to my natural and attack him. About 12 firebats rock my dark templars and start killing me bad when I retreat and he doesn't follow. Wisely, he doesn't follow. With dragoons coming fast and templar warping, I attack again only to be met by marines attacking me and a quick skrimish and I lose cannon + 2 dragoons while still having 8 and he loses about 20 assorted infantry. I don't want him to know I have templar yet.
I push hard and I mean hard with alot of dragoons and zealots and whipe out his chokepoint. Now, I plunge into his main base with a few remaining dragoons and Kill a factory and a e-bay before losing to 6 barracks making marines. I take it all in stride and make about 17 more probes rallied to my exp and get gateway #6- and 7.
About 2-3 minutes and I go again all out this time with zealot leg upgraded and templars. And, I meet up with alot of infantry but a couple of storms later they aren't with us anymore. But, Alot and I mean alot of infantry came and eventually your templars are out of mana and He starts killing me. I am still making stuff at my main and I make a robotics facility + a robo. support bay and a starport. Now, He drops 8 marines at my exp which only had 1 cannon but 12 probes and a cannon kill marines fast when they unload 1 by 1 by 1 etc :)
Now, I have 7 dragoons, 4 zealots and a 150 mana templar at his entrance when a group of 12 marines and I knew this must be the last. It had to be. Also, I now have 3 reavers at home with 2 shuttles. I am expanding to my natural and gateway #8. He saw my templar. I knew he would target it and then own my guys.
" THINK LIKE MAYNARD I SAID!! "
I put a storm perfectly in front of where the marines would go and send 5 zealots at the marines. As soon as the first cackle went over all the marines,
WAITING FOR PLAYERS : Storminator!
Oh , I see! Hmmm, maybe he knew it was the end? I mean he only made infantry whole game and I had reavers....
I had a obs in his base and he didn't remake that starport... I had tons of guys pumping out of my gateways.
Please reply and tell me who you think won. All I speak is true. His guys were 1/1 and mine were 2/2/0
The storm was perfect... it was right on them. Oh well, please reply about the tactics I used and he used. GG |
