Map: Challenger
Me: Terran (Top)
Him: Zerg (Bottom)
Early game: I start off with my normal 8 Rax, 9 Depot, 10 Rax....then bunker my choke. I decide for early gas this time as I resolved on a tank push when seeing he is Zerg. I get an academy going then comstat while building my push forces. I comstat to see nothing special..only 1 hatch an a den with 2 hydras on a smoke break. newb possibly? What I did'nt know is that he did have a second hatch by the other gas resouce.
Mid-Game: Well...time for the push. A few comstats see that he has lurkers...but I only see like 3...not too worried. Make a Starport and SCI fac just to be safe. I should have really focused on those SCI V I tells ya. I reach his back and start kicking ass. Just then I hear....you base is under attack....oh no. He dropped 15+ lurkers into my base. Sheit!!!! I had like nothing there to defend and see that what this game has come down to. Destroy the other guys base first. I get all my SCV outta there and bring them to his base while lifing all buildings that can be lifted....God I wanted those SV right now....I should have had about 3 or 4!!! With no detection and no way to move my base without him knowing...I was scared.
Late-Game: I finish his base hoping to see the old eliminated sign. nope. Oh no. If he expanded to an island...I'm so screwed. In complete panic...I send all my SCV to scout the map....YES!!!! a new hatch with one Drone sitting around. I HAVE TO MAKE IT THERE BEFORE HE DOES!!!! I'm still praying he did'nt go to an island. I send all my forces there and destroy the hatch really quick (Did'nt seige tanks) with out any lurker problems. I then see the eliminated sign and yell, "YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The game was'nt that long...but one of the most intense yet. And if you say...where are the pics? No way was I taking pics during that...every second counted!
Lessons learned
*When you see lurkers...move your ass to get SV. That game would'nt have been as bad if I did.
*I should have defended my mineral line more...but I don't think I could have stopped that.
Well...That's the end...I'm gonna have a heart attack now. |
