Lifetime Rating for Fox^1: 7.3810 |  | I observe quite often, but I never report. Usually the game goes to long and I miss like 100 details, or the game is so quick there is nothing to good to submit, or the game was sooo bad that I didn't want to embarrass the people in it.
Anyway I was in NH early in the morning. I usually have to play early in the morning since I work a swing shift. So some guy named Smash@you (I think that was his name, I apologize if I got it incorrect) Anywho we’ll call him Smash. So Smash wants to play and his friend who I played earlier decided to watch. So I host a temple game. Both of us exchange gl hf and we start.
Smash spawn’s at the 9 position with toss. I spawn in the 3 position with TERRAN! Everytime I get these guys I wish I had just choose my usual zerg. But anyway I have been trying to play more random to give me more flexibility in my game. With terran usually your build order may differ depending on what race you play against. Well that’s what people say. But I have been trying to create a build order that would allow me to face random. Which is
8 depot (at choke)
10 Rax (of course I can’t wall in successfully on 3)
13 Refinery (Send scout)
Marine
Bunker
Depot
Academy
Soon after this I get a Factory. I always keep pumping marines until I see what my opponent is playing. If he is zerg I keep the Marines going and soon get a 2nd Rax for more troops, and I already have the factory going so I can either get tanks or go straight to SV. If it is toss then I already have my factory going so I can start Metal Madness. He scouted me 1st and lost his probe to my marines. “Great Toss!” I said. I am not that good with terran to begin with, and to face a toss? I am soooo happy about this! So I got my Engierring bay on line, to combat the stupidty that is DT. But the week prior to that I played Bob_the_Newt and he spanked me T V P him T. He like attacked me with 12+ tanks with some goliaths and SV. So I decided to try the same thing.
I quickly started to make tanks, but then I forgot about the gayness of DT and also made started the Biker Mice From Mars. Right before I was able to get some mines 2 DT walk right in and go straight for my comstat. My siege research had just finished and with the help of some comstat and Tank fire I easily stopped the attack. I then attacked him with 4 vultures hoping maybe to catch him off guard. He did not take his natural so I mined it up and tried to go up his ramp, but was repled by zealots and goons. I retreated and he sent 1 goon and it was destroyed by some of the mines. I put 1 mine in a terrible place, but it enabled me to keep tabs if he expanded. I moved 2 of my remaining attacking vultures to check for expansions. I found a starting nexus at the 6 posistion but nothing at 12. He destoyed the 6 vulture with 2 Carl Lewis zealots, but I didn’t worry because it wasn’t online yet and I was about to expand myself.
He dropped my base again with a Reaver and DT but I easily killed them with the help of about 5 tanks.
I continued to make tanks and threw down my 3rd factory and started my 2nd CC for expanding. Soon after that I got my Starport online to tech to SV and get 1 or 2 transports to either pull a Gay Turbo Newbie or prevent 1. I floated my CC over and didn’t maynard anything(why? I have no fucking idea) As soon as my 1st scv came out of the new CC it was destroyed by a….. cannon? WHAT!? In response I started my Science Facility for SV power. Good thing I built that transport. So I sieged some tanks for defense just in case he had some other defense for his cannons and I dropped 2 tanks there and finished 2 pylons and 2 cannons. He dropped 3 zealots which finished my tanks but I stopped the threat and then maynarded (is that a word?) some of my SCV’s over to the new expansion.
I sent 3 vultures out to check for expansions again and maybe to harras the building of the 6 position. They were shot down by cannons and zealots at his 6 exp. My 1st SV came out and I started to research EMP by that time I had 14 tanks. I figured I might need some anit-air just because so I started production of my Goliaths and built my 4th and 5th factories. Smash tried a few attacks with some units but were easily dispatched by my +1/+1 tanks. Remarks like gay came out when the blast from siege mania.
When I received my 2nd SV I thought is was about time to make my attack. I brought out my 16 tanks, 5 Goliath’s, and 2 SV started my way over to his main. I went to his main, because if I was going to hit hard I wanted to take some of his tech away from him. On the way he tried to cut my attack off with zealots, goons, templar, and ARBITER!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? Whatever! I had no idea how 16 tanks could cut down protoss units. Oh wait I do, Bob did it to me ;) I sieged the tanks in the back and left the ones in the front unsieged for a little dancing. The Goliath’s scared away the GAY Arbiter and with the help of matrix I lost only 2 tanks and took all of his units including his Arbiter which was killed by 3 new Goliath’s joining the fray from my base.
I continued to trek over his main and sieged 10 tanks at his natural and brought up the SV to his ramp. He had some goons and templar waiting for me. I got to emp off a little to late, and he got off a psi storm and his goons killed 1 of my SV. I should have used comstat to check his ramp, but o well. I had two more SV join my attack along with about 5 more tanks. They were now +2/+2. Smash sent in another team of arbiter madness with other units to my main but with the help of Goliath’s and plenty of GAY Terran turtle power I fended off the attack. I kept pushing his main, he had many more units than I did, but it didn’t matter the goons would just vaporize as soon as they got close to my now 18+ tanks. If they did happen to be able to start attacking I would use matrix to protect my tank.
I then expanded to the 12 natural and did not stop metal production. I knew that if I could keep pushing his main I would have him. Even though I knew he had more resources, if I killed his tech I would have the game. A few more attacks from Smash that I brushed off and he asked for vision and gave me a gg. I am unsure why he gave up so easy I knew that he had the advantage, I didn’t see any corsairs, so maybe since his goons were getting owned he just got pissed and gave up. Who knows I don’t really care I won and I was happy.
This may not be a long BR, but I am sooo happy that I won a T V P game. I was able to actually macro and micro well that game and I was glad that I remembered certain things like building dropships for a change. Thanks to Bob_the_newt for the ass kicking so I could learn and grow. Even though my opponent had Arbiters and did not build 1 corsair, which would have made a hell of a difference. I still thought I might have won. Also I must learn Pic power so that I can add screenshots next time. I had some of this game and I would so like to show the amount of tanks that I had. Hehe
