Lifetime Rating for Warbringer: 6.5000 |  | This is my second try at a br. Enjoy.
So I was looking for a game to play and I find this 2v2 on temple. Not too original, know, but I can't find anything else to play.
I was the last one in and we started. The teams were:
Dark_Shiva orange terran 9:00
DarknessOmega teal terran 12:00
vs.
yog1fish brown protoss 6:00 (chosen)
Warbringer. (me) red protoss 3:00
In the start, both terrans went with a supply at 8, rax, gas, then shiva made a factory, academy, and e-bay, while omega made 2 factories and an academy.
I went with a standart double gate build with early gas and goons. Then I made a citadel of adun and a templar archives once that was done.
My ally, yog1fish started with a pylon at 8, then gas at 11, and then 3 gates at 13. Interesting.
In the meantime Shiva was making alot of turrets.
When my templar archives were almost done I sent 2 zealots to scout. I find shiva with a bunker and turret being built at choke. Omega had a bunker and an unsieged tank. When my archives were done I started 2 DTs. While they were building my ally took his natural.
Once the Dt's were done I send them to 12 
to Omega's base and take my natural.
He has a comsat with enough energy
for one scan. I hit a supply depot
with a DT making him waste his scan
while I retreat. Then I go back and
keep attacking the depot at the
choke. I also had 3 goons at lower
ground hitting the depot while he
tries to repair it with 2 SCV's.
About then he got enough energy
for another scan, killed my DT,
sieged his 2 tanks, so I retreated
the goons.
My expo was done so I maynarded some probes there and kept pumping goons from 4 gates, researching range and upgrading attack.
Let's see how everyone is doing:
Dark_Shiva has 2 rax, a factory, a starport being built and a few too many turrets. His defense consists of a bunker at the choke, some tanks spread throughout his base, a goliath and a dropship.
DarknessOmega has a rax, 2 factories, a starport and is builing a cc. He has some tanks, a vulture, and a bunker.
My ally yog1fish has made a pylon and 3 cannons at his natural and it gathering gas from it. No minerals even though he has like 30 probes on his main. He also has 4 stargates and a fleet beacon and his making 2 carriers. His defense consists of 6 zealots, some cannons and a scout.
I have 5 gates, about 15 goons, a fully running expo and some obs.
Omega finishes his cc and flies it to the northwest island. Once he gets there the cc sits in the air for about 5 mins until he has the genius to land it.
I load a goon and a probe in a shuttle and take the southwest base.
 Omega finally lands his cc on the island and my obs comes by and sees it. I load 4 goons in 2 shuttles and attack the expo which is defended by 2 goliaths.
At the exact same time Omega
loads 5 tanks a goliath and a
vulture in 3 dropships, and
accompanied by 2 of Shiva's
wraiths drops them in the
unprotected probe line in my
main.
By the time I realize what is going on all my probes are dead. I send my ~20 goons and kill everything losing about 10 goons. My island expo is up and running now so I still have the best economy.
My ally now has 5 carriers and his main is mined out. He finally sends some probres to gather minerals from his natural.
Omega has made another cc in his main and flies it to his mineral only. Shiva takes his natural, making 2 turrets and a bunker. My observer sees that that I send about 6 goons.
He has no tanks on higher ground to hit the goons so he flies the cc back to his main. I retreat the goons to the middle.
Then he unloads 2 goliaths and an scv to his cliff and builds a factory. Hoping to defend his natural against further attacks I guess.
Omega also unloads 2 goliaths and 2 tanks at his natural cliff... right under my observer. Then he takes the natural.
The group of goons I have in the middle (the ones that took out Shiva's natural) see 3 of Omega's dropships fly down the map. Suspecting them to drop on my cliff I unload a dt there just in case. Then I take my mineral only.
He wasn't dropping them on my cliff. The dropships meet up with about 4-5 wraiths of Shiva's and unload on yog1's natural cliff.
This is the first time my ally is attacked the whole game. He's just taken his mineral only. He has 10 carriers in his main but he doesn't seem to care about his natural. All the probes die.
About this time I drop 2 DT's on Omega's natural cliff (where he put the 2 gols and 2 tanks).
They kill the goliaths before he can scan and by then he doesn't have enough time to unsiege the tanks.
Then I take a group of about 6 goons, run past the tanks at the higher ground, and destroy his natural.
My observer also finds his mineral only base. I send a control group of goons there. His main is mined out. He has no army or a chance of taking another base, so he leaves.
The tanks still sitting on his expo cliff, yog1 attacks shiva with 10 carriers.
Shiva's 100 turrets don't do much against the 3/3/3 carriers so he leaves too.
Lessons learned:
-Don't let someone do whatever he wants to in a 2v2. My ally was never attacked until late-game when he had 10 carriers.
-If you have 2 toss players with 7 bases total and 2 terran players with 2 bases total the toss are gonna win.
-I suck at DT rushing |
