Lifetime Rating for Sydane: 5.5000 |  | Someone on b.net told me that there is a battle report site so i decided to write one ;). Here it goes:
Map: Lost Temple
Me: Terran (random) 9:00
Him: Protoss (picked) 12:00
Knowing that i was terran, i decided to just play my best and not hoping to win.
I started the standard terran build, 8th depot, 10 rax, 12 rax, 14 depot, etc. I built the depot and the rax above my ramp, when the rax finished i built a bunker behind the depot. My scv found that he was at 12:00, he has 2 gate and no assimlator yet and retreated at the bottem of his ramp. Then i started refinery at my main and pumped some marines.
I then built a factory when gas came and used my scv to scout again. Unfortunately he used zealots to block his ramp and i don't know what he was doing.I built an academy follow by a engineering bay and built a comsat after the academy was done. I add-on the machine for the factory and begin tanks production. Feared of a Reaver or dark templar drop, i put a bunker and a turret near my cc and a turret above the ramp behind my first bunker.My first tank popped out and siege research finished. To my surprised he dropped 2 dragoons and my tank and marines ate them. I scanned that he had support bay and haven't expand yet. I expanded to my natural and build up a starport. I also used a vulture to mine all the possible land expansion. When my starport finished, i built a wraith and an armory. He then built cannons above my expansion's ledge. My 3 or so tanks have no trouble dealing with them. I also dropped marines and medics there in case for any cannons again. ( I hate them).
My wraith scouted the bottem right island, nothing there. But he mass cannons on the other island and no way for me to drop. I built a second factory I then built a cc at 6:00 and put a light defense there. My second wraith went to the bottem right island again and he massed cannons back up by templars there too! Seeing that he only had a 5 zealots and about 4 goons from my scanned, i decided to attack, i bunker pushed from the middle with 8 tanks, 6 goliahs, 15 or so m&m's and 3 science vessels. At this point i found out that i haven't use my 2 nukes from the 2 expansion i have so i decided to bring ghosts with my force. my tanks broke the cannons defense at his natural and his ramp. But 2 storms stormed my infantries to death. I tried to use irradiate his templars but he Mind Controlled my science vessels!!. When my remaing 3 or so tanks parked at his ramp, he mind controlled 1 of the tanks. Unfortunately for him my tanks just started sige mode and my remaining infantries and golies finished the job. This was where the funny park came. He had about 5 carriers attacked my tanks and this is where the ghosts came to the role. I cloaked my ghosts and nuked under his carriers and his natural expansion mineral line. Tired of waiting for 10 sec, i built a physics lab, second armory and started another expanion at 6 natural. The carriers just killed all my tanks and golies and the nuke boomed all his carriers. I built 3 more starpots to a total of 5 and a 3rd fact. Now i thought, his natural went down, the only mine production was from his 2 island expansion. I expanded again to 3:00 and it's natural. When i had about 5 or so battle cruisers, i decided to attacked the bottem right island.I yamatoed the cannons and killed the nexus, but suffered a few storms damage from the mighty tempalr. Then his carriers fleet back up by a science vessels came. 2 d-matrixerd carriers killed the remaining battle cruisers, but i have done my job--destroyed his nexus. Another 5 BCs already popped out and stored enuff energy for yamato.This time i attacked his upper left island. I agained yamato all his cannons and irradiate the only templar there. To my surprise, he used the evil dark archon again and mind controlled 1 of my bcs, but my other 4 with 2 d-matixed finish off. I destroyed this island which was already mined out and went back to my main for repair and such. shortly after, i had about 10 bcs 3 science vessels, and i dropship full of ghosts. From my scanned he had bout 5 carriers, 2 goons 1 templar and about 5 cannons at his re-built island. I d-matixed 3 bcs and the dropship and emp his carriers, yamatoed the cannons, and irradiated the templar after he casted a well placed storm.
I locked 3 carriers down, and the BC's have no trouble with them. I finished the island and headed my fleet to his main.
He had nothing but cannons and a few goons guarding against my fleet. I wait for enery charged and yamato his all his canoons ( I really luv yamato BABY!). He called gg and left the game. After the game, i forgot to use the 2 nukes from the silo at the end, ah well. :I
BTW: this game last over and hour and i outscored him 270k to 180k pts, but i barely win, even though i still have 8000k and 3000k in my bank.
Lesson learned:
-dark archon finally came into action, this was my first time to see a player used d-archon efficiently.
-Are there any ways to break thru the island othere then bc's yamato? d-matrixed won't help becsue of templar, nukes won't help becasue of cannons detection. Can anyone help me?
-Can anyone teach me how to use terran more effectively? Every time i play terran against toss, the game last over 30 min.
-There's rating for battle reports? I hope i can get a silver ;l
-I don't how to put images, ah well. |
