Zerg v Toss for the Temple
I had the pleasure to watch a game between 8-| against FiReSaUcE.The map(obviously) was Lost Temple. 8-| went Protoss at the start and took the 6 o' clock slot while FiReSaUcE went random and drew Zerg,and along with drawing Zerg he also got the 3 o' clock starting slot.FiReSaUcE went with a common zerg build by going 2nd hatchery first and then a pool.


8-| goes pylon,gate,pylon,morphs in a zel,and starts another gateway.FiReSaUcE's pool is now done as well as the hatchery he started at the ramp of his base,he then starts a creep colony at the top of the ramp,at the same time 8-|'s has now found FiReSaUcE with a scouting probe,and then procedes to send 2 zels to perhaps cause some trouble. 8-| hassled him a little,made him get his drones away from mning but that was about it.Now at this point,FiReSaUcE was looking to counter with about 16 lings,but pulled back when he saw a zealot choke of about 5 at the top of 8-|'s ramp. FiReSaUcE then starts a hydra den and 8-| as well goes tech. 8-| then sends in 8 zels to the natural expansion outside FiReSaUcE's base and kills off a drone and a ling but pulls back when he sees the heavily guarded ramp of lings with sunken colony support. 8-| starts on a stargate and a citadel and starts a cannon at the top of his ramp,this move will later pay off for him. 8-| then has his first corsair pop out of the stargate and starts poping overlords nearby.FiReSaUcE then sends in 2 lurkers and splashes some of 8-| zels back up on the ramp,but when the lurkers progress one burrows within cannon range and the zels and the one strategically placed cannon decimate him.The other stood guard outside 8-| base until he got an observer and later killed him off.Tis was a key point in the game,FiReSaUcE loaded up 9 overlords consisting of lings,hyds,and lurkers and was attempting a drop on FiReSaUcE and at the same time FiReSaUcE was expanding to 12 o'clock slot.Fortunate for him, 8-| saw the drop coming with a probe and knew to be ready for it,with a well placed storm and about 24 zels,the attack did nothing,and then 8-| was about to counter.FiReSaUcE had freshly hatched mutalisks by now and 8-| had only 1 dragoon with his encursion of 24 zels and a templar.all though,the 6 mutas couldnt work over the zels fast enough as every building at FiReSaUcE's main except a very weakened hatchery and an extractor,and had wiped his expansion clean too.FiReSaUcE's made one last effort to attack with 6 mutas,but a cannon and 1 very well placed storm stoped that dead in its tracks,end then 8-| made one last attack with 3 archons and 5 zels,frying the rest of his base and what little lings he sent at him.The winner=color="brown"> 8-|
