"I have been frequently referred to as one of the "gayest" players ever to grace the barren lands of the Starcraft universe, though I believe that title was hefted upon me by a eternally hopeful Dagomar."

Map: Easy Money

RealKP(opponent):Yellow Terran
I started out four O;clock, he started at 10 O'clock. Almost as soon as we started he said he was surprised that there was only one gas geyser. I was perplexed by this and told him that there usually was only one. He informed me that I could change this in the Editor. I didn't reply.
I started out by warping a pylon, a Gateway, a Forge, and then some zealots, all the while pumping out as many probes as there were minerals and three on gas. This was followed soon by a Cybernetics core and some more pylons and a few cannons. Then a shield battery. that's about the time that he attacked. He came in with about 5 wraiths, a tank, and one marine. I took this out easily with my few upgraded goons and zealots with help from my cannons.
I went on to build a robotics facility and a shuttle. He then scanned the middle of my base which convinsed me that I should build some more groung units. I also threw up an observatory. By now I had put up about 5 more cannons and had expanded to the lower middle area and had a pretty large base going there. Then he attacked me again. He took out my first base and said "gg" in the process thinking it was all I had. I just said ":)". He then finished off the buildings and sat there waiting to be hailed as a victor. Then he realized that I had more up my sleeve. I built fast: I put up everything I had had earlier and then went for some scouts. I had about three when he sent in a few wraiths and found my base. I took these out with cannons. after a few skirmishes he marched right up to my front door and wiped me off of the map with a huge contingent of wraiths, ghosts(with nukes), marines, and tanks. I had just begun an expansion below that, but he found that before I could finish another gateway.
I think that I could have finished him off if I had just hurried up and attacked, but I didn't. My observers showed that he had almost no air resistance save his own ships, but he always seemed to be a step ahead of me... ah well. :)
P.S. Realkp: If you're reading this, gg, and I want a re-match. |
