well... i think the biggest mistake u made there was trying to kill him... shoudn't do that really... when he's going cannons and temps, that means he's not gonna come out soon... and as long as u contain toss only with his natural, u've won the game... the only attack u need to do is just stop him from getting another expansion... which is a lot easier than trying to bust his front door or drop on the back, cos templars in transit are very hard to micro... whereas templars on defence are like, gods... i've beaten a lot of toss players this way... just let them sit in there... and take the map control... and take the middle of the map... they'll never be able to make a single offensive move, if done right... on the other hand, i've beaten a lot of zerg players that attack every five minutes... and they eventually run outta money and all i have to do is just take out one of their major expansion... and they're dead... the key is the patience... taking the map control, starving them... it's not about killing them; it's about letting them kill themselves... or rather, forcing them to kill themselves...

nice report ... or if you build a good enough army to hold off all of their attacks ... you could just sit in your well defended main untill they mine out the whole map and after their last troops die you could go kill them ... but to have a good enough army to do that, im sure you need at least a few expansions ...

and that would be one hell of a long game to mine out the whole map, heh

Apnerfnek: Not my first try at BRing.
Xerking: I knew I had the game won from the beginning, just a matter of how long. I don't feel too good sitting there doing nothing, not my style with zerg. When I have ~4~5 bases and maxed out control. I would eventually starve him but attack lots in the process.

His attacks on me did hurt but did nowhere close to critical damage because of the number of hatches I had. I also made enough lords for 3-4 hundred units because they died so much to corsair, so when I lose lords control still stay at 200.

When a toss turtles like that, you just take the whole map and just start throwing a continuous stream of troops at him... non stop... templar only have so much mana...

but you could have mass templar and when the troops stop you could morph to archons !!!

You said u used darkswarm/lings to break his front. Why not plague the canons first? You had tons of money so Ultralisks might have been good somewhere in there to but then again I'm no pro so you can pay me absolutely no mind :)

I did plague the cannons first but they still had 100 shields left, and I got stormed so bad. Ultras wouldn't even have helped his front had too many cannons and temps. Melee units lined up on a cannon make great storm targets, like my lings =oD~

Lots and lots of queens. Boy you could have played some nasty games with him.

yer not sitting there doing nothing when you're taking over the map control and stopping him from getting any more expansion than his main and natural. that's called containment which takes a lot of skills as well. like i said, it's always easier to attack an army in transit than troops all set in position. why? cos they're prepared for attack. templars are siege weapons really... think about that...
