Lifetime Rating for Roy_Rules: 5.0000 |  | I played a very interesting Zerg vs. Terran game with my good friend kineticman. He is powerful with terran and has kicked my ass many a time. It was a game on Hunters and the races were pre-chosen. I was in the upper left hand starting location and he was bottom right. Now, for the good stuff.
First, my processor sucks more than Santa Claus and my modem blows more ass than Floppy the Fat sea otter. Anyway, I cloned my scv's rather well and did an early expansion to natural/expansion trick. He was terran so I knew I was safe.
He got to the game before I did (crappy modem) and went for an early bunker with marine support, then went for turret and tanks and bats and medics. Anyway, I didn't recon worth crap and he had no problem getting two bunks and a turret with a tank up and ready before I saw what he had. Anyway, by then, I had two sufficient bases and six hatches. I had three lurks, about 16 lings, and 4 or 5 hyds. I sent my hyds in to take out the marines, and then sent in the lings to the back to take out the two tanks. AFter that, I placed the lurks in the exact location to take out the bunks but not get targeted. His stuff was destroyed, but all my forces died in the process.
He quickly went for wraiths and I had expanded to the upper mid location. I am a flaming dumbass so I didn't have a colony up. He quickly took the expansion with the huge tank force with m&m support he had and I once again had my main and natural. I had plenty of lurks, but he had a science vessel. ON his tank push, I made a massive sack of all my lurks, hyds, and lings, with two ensnares. It was suficent to take his huge force, but I lost all my stuff once again. AFterwards, I double expanded and he expanded to his natural, but did not really get a lot of income from it.
He made another huge fleet, with two vessels and plenty of wraiths, with about five or six tanks. He blocked the center, took my expansions with ease, and I was left looking like a dumbass. His force suffered no losses.
However, I had upgraded ventral sacks and faster movement for the lord, and while avoiding wraith detection, entered his base. I had about 30 lords, 10 were used as decoys. He had 4 turrets at the back of his base, but they did not kill any of my overlords with units in them. I dropped lurks, lings ,and mass hyds, and the wraith force he sent in was soon demolished. I destroyed his place very quickly. he countered on my base, but ensnare was once again his downfall. I took out his natural and the game was over.
I dunno...if i wouldn't have had the drop he would have wasted me. Tank pushes and vessels just seem to damn powerful. And how do you stop the midgame bunker? I played well...but he played a helluva lot better.
