Lifetime Rating for Dr_Scribble: 6.0000 |  | Welcome again to yet another installment of Fact or fiction in case you are not familiar with the way this is works here ya go. I write up a br on 2 games. One is real and the other is fake. In the comments section you guess which one was real and during the next br I write I’ll tell you which game was real.
O and by the way the game that was real from the last br was game one. I’d list the names of those that got it right, but that would be about twenty people and I’m just one lazy bitch. So without further ado, I give you.
GAME 1
PLAYERS: Krebster, ------toss
Svenge, --------zerg
MAP: Lost Temple
Both started out with rather conservative builds, pool 9, hatch 12. And 7 pylon 9, gate, 12 gate. They both scout with their 9th probe/drone. And both find each other on the first spot they check. Soon into the game krebster has 3 zeals and goes off to attack. Unfortunetly for him svege was ready for this since he had a ol sitting right outside krebsters base. To prepare for the attack he hastily sets up a sunken in his drone line and hatches himself 6 lings. To buy himself time for the lings and sunken to finish he attacks with about 8 drones. They manage to kill 1 zeal and with the help of the lings and sunken the rest are taken out with the loss of only 3 lings.
Krebster being the gosu player that he is WAS idle during this time, and with all his minerals sets up a forge and takes his natural guarding it with 3 new zeals. And by the time svenge rebuilds all his drones, krebster already has a robo facility and a shuttle preparing him for a reaver drop. Svenge knowing he will soon be attacked puts up a sunken near his choke and another one near his workers. He then finally starts getting gas.
Krebster thinking that he’s already won decided to put up templar archives and either get arcons or temps. By the time krebster has 2 reavers in his shuttle, svenge has 12 lings scattered all over his base and in his drone line.
Krebster takes his shuttle straight for the drone line, however upon seeing the 2 sunkens there he wisely pulls off and drops the reavers near the extractor out of reach of the sunkens. He then in a matter of seconds kills all lings. Knowing that he has to do something fast svenge pulls off the greatest micro I have ever seen.
First off he takes all his drones off mining, gets them just out of the range of the reavers. He then sends in a drone, and both the reavers launch a scarab, after they do svenge rushes in all his drones hits a reaver twice with them and ran away before the scarabs can hit him. He repeats this until they are both killed. Unfortunately for him, as soon as the reavers are gone. Krebster rushes in with 2 arcons, 10 zeals and a few dt’s.
A well fought battle by both. (except svenge who lost really really badly)
GAME 2
PLAYERS: Me (dr_scribble)----- terran
Ezenu----------------- Toss
MAP: Lost Temple
Since I already knew that he was toss due to him picking his race I was hoping of pulling off 2 drops at the same time. A turbo newibe on his natural, and a bigger one
Right in the middle of his workers. So to do this I start out going 7 depot, 8 rax, 10 gas, 11 rax.
For my defenses I only put up 2 bunkers and a few scattered marines. As soon as I started building my fact I sent in a scv to scout. What I found was just 2 perfect. Right in his natural he had 4 zeals sitting around when I went into his base I saw him starting a 3rd gateway and getting gas. As we all know the best thing when your terran against toss infantry is spider mines. So I quickly set up a second fact and started producing vultures. When I had 3 I built a machine shop, and started researching spider mines. By the time my spider min upgrade was done I had about 6 vultures so I decided to pay him a little visit.
I haven’t scouted him since my first scout so I was very cautious. So I set up about 10 mines covering his choke to his natural. Then I started attacking his zeals and backing off behind my mines. He had around 8 and had a shield battery morphing in. But every time I’d attack and back off he’d stop his zeals from going in. So I decided that enough was enough. I got about 4 more vultures from my duel facts at my main and started laying mines closer and closer to his zeals. When all the mines were gone, I went in with my vultures took about 3 hits and retreated. This though things didn’t go too well, apparently had 2 goons waiting for me.
But then what’s this? He’s not stopping his troops! Bam, he walks right into all my mines with about 10 zeals and 3 goons. His whole force is destroyed and so with nothing left compared to my 12+ vultures and about 12+ marines from home he leaves the game.
I couldn’t believe it. Had he put up just 2 cannons I would have bean screwed. O well. That’s another win for me.
Well know it’s your turn to be part of this br. That’s right you. IN the comments section tell me which game you think was real. And if your right I’ll probably put your name along with everyone elses who got the right answer in my next br. Thnx for reading.
