The Lost Temple
MaitreMordicus: Terran
Casper...: Protoss
The epic battle between Terran vs Protoss! Who will win?
INTRODUCTION:
First off I would like to tell you more about the players that would give us
one hell of a great game. MaitreMordicus is also known as "UpgradedKakaru". Well known
for his 500 plus wins. He is an intense player that doesn't quit until each one of his
buildings are eliminated. What can I say about Casper...? I guess he is a quiet friendly
ghost and lets his skill do the talking. We will find out in the end won't we?
Now lets get ready to rumble!
MaitreMordicus commands the nomadic Terran forces at 9 o'clock while Casper...
decides to control the mysterious Protoss forces at 12 o'clock. MaitreMordicus knowing
his Terran vs Protoss he decides to wallin. For you players that don't know what a wallin
is... its when you build 2 depots and a barrack to block your choke. He starts off with
a build that looks like this:
8 Depot
10 Barrack
12 Refinery
While Casper... goes with an order that looks similar.
8 Plyon
10 Gateway
12 Assimilator
MaitreMordicus decides to wake 2 marines up from their sleep before making 2
factories. At the other end Casper... adds another Gateway before a cybernetics core.
As soon as 2 dragoons pop out from each of the gateways at the same time they are sent
to the terran empire right away to see what havoc they can cause. The 2 marines shot
their gauss rifle for a couple seconds before they are sent to sleep for good this time.
The goons bring a depot to flames but it was quickly repaired by 2 scvs pulled off from
mining. 2 more goons are sent on the way to dispatch the terran for good.
A tank quickly came out and seiged right away causing the 4 goons to retreat to the
temple for safety. Casper... decides to pump goons out of 2 gateways until he has enough
minerals to expand 2 times at mineral only below 12 o'clock and
mineral only to the left of 3 o'clock. After Casper... expands twice, he starts a forge
for upgrades. While MaitreMordicus makes constant tanks and vultures and finally
adds a starport. After it finishes MaitreMordicus starts a Science Facility off the bat.
Casper... finishing his robotics facility starts a observatory to see what the nomads
are up to. Once Casper... has both expansions mining by doing the Maynard transfer, he
adds 5 more gateways bringing the total to 7. Constanting pumping goons. Once
MaitreMordicus expands to his natural and does the Maynard transfer himself, he adds 2
more factories bringing the total to 4. He quickly expands to his mineral only so he can
produce more units after units without stopping for a breath of fresh air. Casper...
knowing that MaitreMordicus is massing tanks and vultures and has his 2nd natural going.
He adds another 3 gateways. Total count is now 10! While all this powering is going on
The mysterious protoss forces attacks are +1. While at the other end MaitreMordicus is
busy with his micromanagement laying spider mines everywhere! Soon Casper... decides to
attack, and what a battle it was... MaitreMordicus gets flanked from the top, middle,
and the bottom. Soon he is overwhelmed by massive dragoons. MaitreMordicus uses his scvs
to try and slow the dragoons down, they got raped as you guessed. MaitreMordicus got
pushed all the way back to his natural! His natural is soon destroyed and Casper...
tries to head up the ramp... but then he meets tanks that was produced during the time
MaitreMordicus lost his 2 expansions.
Casper... makes his retreat! As MaitreMordicus was treating his wounds, Casper... decides
to go expand crazy. He takes 3 o'clock main, 12 o'clock natural, and finally 6 o'oclocks
mineral only. During all this action I managed to miss that blue flew a command center
to upper left island! Orange notices this and sends a shuttle with 2 zealots and a
dragoon to handle it. The expansion is lost and sent to float in the skys for awhile.
I don't understand why he didn't land it at one of his naturals. Instead he build new
command centers while 1 is still floating in the skys. Blue retakes his 2 naturals and
some time passes by. MaitreMordicus scouts around and sees that Casper... has the mineral
only of 6 o'clock. He sents a tank and 3 vultures to see what damage he can cause. The
vultures get micromanaged to lay mines all around. He brings the nexus to ruins before
retreating when he sees couple zealots coming to reinforce the base (needs nike shoes,
the nexus is gone!). At the same time Casper... decides to end the game and attacks with
all his troops!, this time he doesn't flank... now guess what happened.
Those got murdered by:
Casper... must of thought MaitreMordicus was hurt because he decides to take 6 main as
his own. Blue soon found out and attacked with 2 tanks and a vulture before zealots come
to the rescue! The nexus was only in flames. At this time Casper... gathers his troops at
the temple, His army consists of dragoons, zealots, dts. His armor and shields are now +1.
MaitreMordicus has been doing tons of mechanical productions consisting of goliaths,
vultures, and tanks. Orange wanting to end the game attacks! He doesn't flank again so
guess what happened?
that turns into this:
Blue's mechanical ground units now turns into +1 attack. MaitreMordicus knows that
Casper... is out resourcing him so he finally kills 6 o'clock with a sneaky tactic,
He drops a tank and 2 goliaths off a dropship into a rivan and seiges the tank while the
command center spots for it. The tank reaches the nexus!
It went down hard and orange probes escape only to wait for a warping nexus to finish in
at 6 o'clocks natural. In a few minutes, orange's armor is now +2. MaitreMordicus sees
that Casper... expands to 6 natural so he immediately sends down 9 vultures to dispatch
the probes. Zealots with nike this time runs down only to meet spider mines and burn like
a vicious firewall.
12 zealots vs 9 vultures, with MaitreMordicus micromanagement skills he escapes with 2
vultures still living. Little did MaitreMordicus know, Casper... has carrier productions
going on at 3 o'clock.
MaitreMordicus knew he wanted map control, soon he pushed his way to find the temple with
tanks and goliaths.
Lets have a brief update on the map.
 Casper... has 4
bases that is getting income while MaitreMordicus only has 1. Both these guys have been
keeping up with their upgrades. MaitreMordicus has +3 attack and +2 armor for mechanical
units while Casper... has +1 attack and +1 armor for protoss air.
MaitreMordicus makes the first move by leaving the temple and heading straight for
Casper...'s gateway productions. MaitreMordicus destroys a couple gateways until
Casper... knew it was time to make the suprise attack with the carriers!
Casper... slowly killing each one of Maitre's buildings... while at the other end Casper...
is letting Maitre kill his buildings! Why didn't he use the carriers to go back and
finish Maitre's army consisting mostly of tanks and vultures. Soon a yellow message
popped up on the screen.
MaitreMordicus has been eliminated.
The game came to an abrupt halt. Soon everyone left.
CONCLUSION:
It was a great game played by both players. It was a close game until late game
came upon us. Both players wanted to win the game and they tried everything to the best
of their power. But when a game ends, comes forth a winner and a loser. Losing isn't
always bad in my opinion. Here is my theory:
You win, you feel better about yourself
You lose, you learn to get better
LESSONS LEARNED:
1. P > T seriously...
2. Sex is good.
3. Especially with Jessica Simpson.
4. When your writing a report, finish it right away! If you stop you will get tired
and rush to the end real quick like me!=( |
