I wasn't going to say anything, but posting this right after an AQD3 report makes it stand out that your style is pretty darn similar. Of course, I think that's a very good thing =]

Yeah.... According to what you said... WTF is the point of playing someone below you?

nice BR
I like the vessel following tank idea. Less attention needed.

Although that might not work as well for me, cuz I usually play with no sound =[ listening to MP3 and my carappy soundcard does not support dual audio output

I am pretty sure, although not positive, that if you are number 1 and don't play one game per week you drop spots. I am not sure, but it the rules concerning that are posted at Tao.

It sounds like boxing: you have the mandatory fight, and if you don't do it, you vacate your title.

That makes Arkons the #1 contender. If you give him a title shot, I'm sure everyone would love to see a BR of it. This report was good.

Really? I thought it was actually Muhammed Ali :-/
Aaanyway, very nice report! It would be cool if there was AQD3 in one side writing B.net Ladder reports, and SilentStrike writing Kali Tao Ladder reports.

I liked the little tidbits in this report, such as using the vessel following the tank with the m&m's some distance behind, so you can ignore it and concentrate on other things. This was something I dont think I've ever really done, usually I shepherd them across the map quite literally. :P

I dont know how he'd stop an obunker when you rax on 8. Also when I do this, whether it's rax on 8, or rax on 10 or whatever, I always bring 2 scv's now. That scv quite literally is the most important unit, more important that the first few marines showing up.

The ladder system seems a bit odd, but at least it's not full of hackers and disc'ers.. so that alone makes it worth it I guess! Although as an interesting side note, I've played 37 ladder games this season, and haven't been disc'ed on once. Early in the season I realize you can't avoid it, but later on I just don't play people without a semi-proven record.

Anyhow, I enjoyed the read.. and look forward to reading more hopefully.

Good report, with interesting bits of tactics.
Better than AQD3 imo (but who am I to judge)
#18 Silent Strike[32808]
198.139.136.194
Some stuff
1. Tool that lucky ho, he had race advantage in every game of that 3 game series. I played two afterword and beat him in both.
2. If two players ranked next to each other, ex #1 and #2, play vs each other, and the #2 wins, their ratings swap. Such happened two days ago when I lost to Gen~khalsa. I won the rematch however, limiting his time at #1 to about 40 minutes
3. The chobo icon is blue and says chobo. It is kinda a mockery of the cold icons on the igl ladder.
4. People get shunned for dodging games. There will also be a challenge system implemented that will give similairly ranked players the chance to challenge each other. If the challenge match is not played withing a given period, both players lose rank.
5. Of coarse this is better than AQD3's :-).

Due to lack of time I only reading the comments. WTF never get armour first. Them marines are for KILLING!
#25 [32839]
pool0091.cvx10-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net
OK I read the report so I could see the argument for getting armour first. Guardians and Lurkers do 20 damage each. Armour does help against these 2 units. However, the logic that lurkers need to attack 50% more to kill a marine is assuming 1 lurker vs 1 marine. Since lurkers spines attack as many marines as are in range 4 lurkers do not need to attack 50% more assuming they are all in range. 4 lurkers do 80 damage. Armour isnt goin to help you here. "Neither is attack!", I can hear you saying. True enough but the point is that if you are attacking a group of lurkers with marines you arent too bright. Lurkers normally need to run in and burrow close, while other units are distracting the marines. This is why attack is better. There is a greater chance to kill lurkers before they burrow with attack upgraded.

You can pull off marines vs lurkers, when lurkers are in small numbers and you plan it out. I often pull marine/medic drops vs zerg, probably about 30% of my ter vs zerg games include a 2 or 3 dropship load of 1 armor infantry. If you plan it out, stim, heal, have range, use comsat. You can attack lurkers are spots where they are forced to fend for themselves. That is, if their are any lurkers near the drones at all. The extra armor prevents you from taking any casualties. Then the other lurkers unburrow and run toward you marine pack while you stim and comsat and kill a good deal of them before they burrow.

I don't engage lurker/ling/hydra combos with soley marines for the most part. Or at least, I don't try to. In defending vs lurkers I will probably have a bunk/turret combo at my base.

This was a Gosu report Silent. I'd say it's a solid 8. If I was capable of learning anything, I'd have learned something from this.

Great work.
