THE MAP
LOST TEMPLE ( no need for pics)
====> no need for pics, this match was more of an afterthought than anything else.
THE STORY
IN a quest to become the worlds greatest starcraft player, ZnzF begins by practicing one of the most difficult and macro/micro requiring matchups, Protoss Versus Protoss!
ZnZf plays about 100 protoss vs protoss games, and while doing so, met a great many number of good players.
ZnZf meets this 1600 player, and is crushed by him easily just by microing dragoons and good containment with reaver support against ZnZf’s many zealots and dragoons.
After that game, ZnZf realizes that dragoons and reavers > zealots and dragoons
THE GAME
After scouting with his probe on 8 ZnZf see’s that Probey has made 2 barracks, and when a protoss player see’s the other player has not made gas before second gateway, they assume their opponent doesn’t know what they are doing.
ZnZf makes his build like this ---- Pylon, Gateway, Assimiltor, cybernetics core right after gateway, pylon, gateway while continueing to make probes and zealots out of his gateways
Then, while “not scouting” he makes a robotics facility, another pylon, and more dragoons
Now, at this time Probey’ had been taking advantage of my not scouting after first probe that died, and brought all his zealots and Dragoons near my choke in strategic brilliance that most good protoss playerse do
When ZnZF had my reaver , ZnZF decided to attack hoping my micro skills and macroed units will kill everythng probey has since after all, he problably doenst’ have tech except dt, because ZnzF made gateways.
Then, as his first dragoons single filedly went near my natural I was met with about ¼ of my units MORE than me! I’m like, wtf
So Znzf “planned” to do this
Drop his reaver at the side and pick it up FAST and as there goons target the reaver then Znzf pick it up of course
And then the dragoons and zealots will go out the choke to meet face to face with Probey’s units while I drop the reaver AGAIn to deal more damage while it runs back once probey targets it
Unfortunately that is not how it went, Probey masterfully targeted the SHUTTLE and shot if from the flamming sky and not my reaver
And when my dragoons and zealots broke out the dragoons and zealots that Probey’ had pounded on me
“All this time I had 4 gateways building” NEARLY ALL good protoss players make exactly 4 gateways early on
I think its because in Starcraft, Protoss players get lucky making even buildings
Example 2 gateways, 4 gateways, 6 gateways, 8 gateways
The only exception is against zerg, against zerg I make 7 gateways because it seems right
I know this sounds stupid but it really is true
You never hear someone make “5” gateways right?
Anyways…
LESSONS LEARNED
It doesn’t matter if you have the right combination of units to beat your opponent, if he thinks and plots and microes’ better than you, you will still lose
Znzf = me of course, but I wanted to say it in 3rd person perspective.
I had some pics, but they were too humiliating to show j/k I forgot to take pics
