Lifetime Rating for Dr.MaNNerals: 4.5000 |  | Kali player "Shadowlisk..." vrs the great go su "Majak(DUNE)" who I had the pleasure to first meet during this game, the match took place on a map neither of them knew beforehand called, "Lost Temple". Shadowlisk chooses terran and spawns at 9, Majak goes random and spawns at 6 zerg. Zerg scouts with ov and and both players know race and position quickly. Shadow opts to go 2 rax, fast acadamy, then gas, while Majak starts with a 2nd hatch at choke , then pool and fairly fast lair and starts gearing toward lurks. When Majik's 2nd hatch finishes he sends 6 lings in a futile attempt to the terran base to do some kamikazee work. The lings make it to Shadow's choke and notice they are outnumbered slightly, Shadow has 8 marine and 1 pretty sexy medic waiting at his choke. About 2 supply depot's later, Shadow pops out about 2 more meds, 2 more marine and 3 firebats, then takes his troops and 2 scv and decides to go see what the zergy is up to. Majak had started a 3rd hatch at his expansion when Shadow shows up with his gosu terran posse there, and zergy quickly cancles it and morphed sunken out of his creep. Shadowlisk takes advantage of outnumbering his opponent and having him contained and expands at his natural while starting a factory. Then Shadow builds 2 bunkers, bunkering Majik in while Majik starts to morph 3 pissed hydra into lurkers. While Shadow near finishes his 2nd bunk Majik so brazenly burrows his lurks right next to the bunkers and kills one of the scv. Majik learns the harsh reality of scanned lurkers that burrow too close to bunkers and loses one of his lurks and is forced to retreat the other. While Majik has his lurks burrowed out of bunker range, they rest in utter emotional shock at the idea that they were sighted even as burrowed underground, Shadow then puts up a turret for stable detection, and sends a vulture and lays some mines, and then stops worrying about the baracade altogether.
After about 5minutes, Shadow has decided not to reinforce his bunkering in on zerg and puts his tanks at his choke cliff instead, at this time he has his natural expand up and mining, and sci vessels coming and irradiate researching, while zerg finally takes down the barracade in front of his choke. Zerg then starts an expand and Shadow loads up a shuttle with marine and medic, he drops them at the zerg's natural cliff. During this, Majik has gathered his force of around 25 hydra's and some lings and 2 lurkers in the middle of the map. Shadow notices the force and sets his tanks near the edge of part of his cliff and irradiates then seiges a few hydra causing widespread panic among the pack of hydra and they run around towards Shadow's choke to avenge themselves. Shadow has 3 tanks at his choke, a bunker and m&m, and the hdyra and ling dont look back as they commit suicide into the go su terran setup. By this time terran expands to top left island and zerg has his natural expand finished, the zerg transfers his drone from his mined out main, and loses 4 or 5 before he realizes the marine and medic on his cliff. A few minutes later, zerg loads up 7 or so overlords and tries to take his cliff back, right before zerg unloads, 2 terran seige tanks are dropped to reinforce the setup on his cliff, the tanks and m&m kill all the hydra and ling dropped sadly, and things start to look grim for the zergy. Majik tries to drop on his cliff and reclaim it once again and is denied once again. His natural is soon destroyed and then with his go su sense of defeat, Majik concedes the game. |
