Lifetime Rating for [5th]Garett: 5.5000 |   | This is my first battle report so i dont expect gold,or hell even silver.I dont know that much html and i didnt take pics(sorry too busy during game).Anyways here is how the game went.
Map=Lost Temple(eww)
Me=Terran,6 oclock position
Atlas.=Zerg,12 oclock position.
Early game
I put my scvs to mining those precious minerals and started making more.At about the 8th scv i commanded it to make a suppy depot beside my minerals.Well when he finished he got stuck behind the minerals(idiot),and i commanded my 10th scv to make a barrax all this time making scvs.As I am building my 2nd barrax with my 14th scv i get rushed,my first barrax had just finished and i had 1 marine out,i commanded it and 4 other scvs to attack the incoming 4 zerglings.They got taken care of and i had only a scv left.
I continued making marines and i had about 4 when 12 zerglings come.I had luckily finished a bunker at about that time so i loaded it up and got 5 scvs to repairing it,it got down to 80 hp but it got fully repaired and the threat was squelched.I then made a academy for those medics and the ever so important comsat.I had sent deon the peon out to scout but he had gotten killed by a well placed sunken just beside the choke.As my academy finished i made a comsat attached to my command center and made 3 medics.I go to his base and i try to keep him from expanding because i had just finished range at the academy and i was making tanks.I got 2 bunkers loaded and was making a 3rd when a lurker comes and tries to attack the bunkers.
I scan and it dies because i had stimmed my marines outside the bunkers and they had killed it.Then the very next second come 3 lurkers and just totally destroy everything thats there.I retreat my remaining 5 marines and a medic which was the only thing left out of 20 marines,5 medics,and 2 bunkers.
Mid Game
I had just finished siege research at my factory and my first tank had just gotten finished.I set it up by my natural and made some marines to guard it as well.I ordered a scv to make a command center at my natural and another scv to make a engineering bay since i know he has lurkers.My command center gets done and i maynard transfer some scvs to my natural and i also order a scv to make a turret by my tanks and marines.
There is little action and i have about 6 tanks and 30 marines at my natural,i try and tank push his expansion i had just scanned at the 3 position but it fails due to guards and mutas.I make a starport at home and research cloak.I expand again to the 8 position and i see he is trying to naked expand there,i kill the hatchery when it is done with 10 marines a firebat and a medic.
Late Game
I have 2 comsats working full time and i keep scanning and i find he is going guards,and devs.I think to myself,no i cant have this.So i make 3 more starports,add 2 more factories,a science facility and add a physics lab,and a armory.I start to pump cloaked wraiths out of 3 ports,bcs out of 1,and goliaths out of 4 factories,i have about 10 wraiths and 2 bcs along with 9 goliaths when he sends 2 zerglings to my expansion and they die horribly,at that same moment he hits my natural with about 10 guards and 15 devs and 2 overlords.
I attack with my marines+medics,cloaked wraiths,bcs,and goliaths.He only ends up killing about 4 gols,10 marines,and 5 wraiths.I repair those things that were hurt and i scan 6 times(my main base scan,natural scan,and my expansion scan),i found out he didnt learn his lesson and is still using the same strategy.
I have about 12 cloaked wraiths,4 bcs,and 2 vessels with irradiate when i scan the island and i find out that there is where he has his guards and devs.I attack the devs,mutas,and guards there and irradiate won me the day because each time i cast it,it killed 4 devos.I had been upgrading this whole time and by now my bcs were 2/2/2,marines were 3/3,and my ground vehicles were 2/2.I decide to put an end to this and i turbo newbie his natural by his expansion and guard my tanks with wraiths,and bcs.
I destroy the natural and i decide that i will finish him off now.I circle around the map and come to the top left island,i find he is trying to expand there but i kill it with my 8 bcs,15 cloaked wraiths,and 3 vessels.I hit his main at the side and he has about 4 spores there,i take them out easily and then the big force hits me.About 25 devos,15 mutas,and 30 scourge.The scourge kill about 2 bcs,and i think i will lose this battle but i remember irradiate and irradiating everything that is clumped.That won me the game.I kill off his devourers and mutas,with about 2 bcs and 6 wraiths remaining,my vessels had died.
I start laying waste to his main when 6 mutas and 6 scourge come.The scourge kill 2 bcs and i fend off the rest with my cloaked wraiths because he doesnt have a detector,i am trying to kill his hive and i destroy it.I still have 1 bc and 5 wraiths and decide to suicide run his greater spire.I manage to kill it with my cloaked wraiths dying,and my bc almost dead(my wraiths died because he had spores 2 spores around his spire,i didnt go for the spores because if i did he would have gotten more mutas and killed my force).I havent been slacking off my production and when my force dies i had just finished 3 bcs and some cloaked wraiths.I decided to end this once and for all and i send my whole force to his expansion(40 marines,10 medics,6 tanks,8 gols,4 bcs,and around 3 wraiths).
I run over his expansion with minimal losses but as i am leaving his expansion i run into lurkers,luckily he positioned them bad so my marines and tanks killed them pretty easily,as my bcs and wraiths were heading to his main.I send everything i have at his main and stim all my marines and siege all my tanks,and i take it with 15 marines,3 tanks,4 gols,and 1 bc dying.He had tons of sunkens and spores.I destroy his main and the natual but he still doesnt die.I find out he did a last ditch effort to expand to the top left island.I take my bcs over and am killing his hatchery,400 hp,300 hp,100 hp,then he says
"Connection Lost" and he discs.
