Lifetime Rating for -=1999=-: 6.7500 |  | Playing Ladder towards the end of the season is fun. You can play or do anything in a game and it really don't matter cause its all going to be reset soon. Trying new or different build orders on people can really make for some crazy, messed-up games.
Well to get to the story me and Johnny_Vegas are in Nohunters and are both looking for a ladder game. We meet, agree on map, exchange pleasantries, and proceed to try and destroy one another in a Game on Dire Straits.
Me= Terran in bottom left
Him= Terran in top right
Now for starters, I'll let you know that I've seen Johnny's build order vs toss at Dire and I figure that it must not be too aweful different vs terran. I know that it will involve Wraiths then Ghosts, good base defense, and expanding like a mother. And Radiation will be detected if Johnny gets too powerful, but not in this game.
The Game:
I opt for an early CC float to the middle small island in the bottom. I think I saved 400 minerals up on my 12th scv.
Hitting the gas hard and starting a belated Barrack are my next builds. I totally tech and power econ for the few minutes as I feel Johnny is doing the same. I get a factory, Engineering Bay, Aacdemy, starport, then sci facility. I erect missile towers at key locations in my now two bases. I scan to find him luckily on my first try. He has two starports and has enough to wipe my out easy with infantry. I am banking on him not being an early attacker as I have ZERO fighting troops. As i expect, Here comes Johnny to flash his new wraith around my base as if saying, "I got one and you don't, nana nana boo boo!".
As the econ starts to swell I build 2 more startports and add-on a physics lab to the sci facility. I start to build depots like a mad man.
I scan the two bases around Johnny to see that he has taken the mid right small island. I know there is no way I can take it right now. Although it is undefended his wraiths can defeat anything I got. Knowing this I keep up my plan of out resourcing him. I build two CC's at the same time. One for the mid left small island and the middle left big island.
As i float the CC's I get my first 3 BC's. Not having any defense but mad gay missile turrets is making me feel uneasy as I know that 7 marines and a medic could really wipe out my main. I never research seige. I never made the first bunker or marine.
Johnny spots the first CC to finish. Its the one on the small middle island im floating upward. Tanks are on the scene and can hit my turrets from the above island. My CC is dead to Wraiths and my BC's aren't finished yet. I'm dead maybe, I think at the time but just as I do 3 BC's pop out ready to go. They repel the tanks pounding on my turrets and discard the wraiths as paper airplanes. Johnny seeing the easy of which I dispose of his attack comments, "nice".
Wraiths find my other base. "Grrrrr" I think to myself. MapHacker!!!!! Just kidding, more like good scouting. :) As they fire at my CC my Bc's are on route to intercept the fruit flys. More BC's are on the way from now 4 startports. I hit the armor upgrade cause these babies are expensive and I don't want lose any of them. Sci vessels are called up also.
I scan to see Johnny has got 3 bases now while working on a 4th. With 7 BC's I now start to march on his mid right small island. A lone sci vessel tags along. I yammo 3 turrets and a bunker before Rescue Wraiths come to the scene. They first target the vessel. It buys me time to pound on many on the wraiths as I rush to find the 1 hotkey for scan. Again the fruit flys and fodder for the ever-hungery BC cloud.
I process back to base for some repair and regrouping to make a grand totally of 9 BC's and 3 vessels. I march though the top middle and right middle island without taking but one BC loss.
Sensing the Direness of the situation for Johnny, I proceed to the top of the map and then straight right to the back of his base. I save my scans up for wraiths in case I lose my vessels. I see a big fat covert opts at the top of his base. 3 Yammos take care of that nasty thing. No more ghosts or soup for you. I proceed to kill all the ghosts while getting two locked down. We exchange GG's and I proceed to lose my connection to Bnet. A fitting end to a wierd game.
Lessons learned: Just as in playing pool, never play a guy that is named after a city. Unless you know his build order. ;)
Crazy Shit can get yah killed quick. I don't reccommend doing a straight out BC rush, but it sure was funner than hell doing it to someone other then a newbie. |
