Map: Lost Temple
Cid Randomed Terrans at six while Peons choose toss at twelve
Ok, now that that's done lets get on to the action. Cid, after freaking out on Peons becuase he picked toss
decided to go Heavy Metal (I think it was Johnny V.'s Strat that was what I was told). Cid went for the standard Terran block-in build: Depot at choke, rax at choke, gas, depot at choke, then 2 factories.
Peons' build went pylon, gateway, gas, Cyber core and another gate. Obviously Peons is going goons, a good choice against Heavy Metal? We shall soon see. Peons has been pumping goons out of his two gates for a while and has a grand total of six goons and one zealot. He selects them all and heads straight for Cid's
main. Cid however, has other plans.
When Cid sees the attack coming he sieges his tanks and starts blasting. The goons are a poor match against a pair of tanks and some vultures Peons retreats his goons back to Cid's mineral expansion after taking out a whole supply depot.
After a little conversation about how much ImGoingPeons sucks, Peons expands to the 3 o'clock mineral expansion.
Cid has decided to block in his expansion with a few tanks and some mines, but doesn't expand there yet.
Peons' expansion has finished and he maynards half his probes there and adds a gateway there and a forge and Citadel at his main. Back at Cid's base he has added two armories, another factory and a starport. Then he expands to his nat.
 Peons has added a Templar Archives and another forge and starts to pump out Dark Templars.
Cid then expands to his mineral nat and adds five, yes five barracks there. Cid and Peons both have a good army of mixed units just waiting for action. Cid decides to strike with a tank push.
He starts by sending to marines to scout the position of Peons' goons. They find them in a few seconds and are blown to pieces. Cid
sends five or six tanks towards Peons' base and stops in the center (near the Lost Temple ^^). He then sieges his tanks and lays mines all around his tanks with four or so vultures. The tanks start firing at Peons' goons and he sends his whole army to intervene.
Somehow, Peons defeats Cid's army with four goons and a zealot left. He then expands to the 9 o'clock natural and mineral expansion. Peons has a resource advantage as you can see in the mini-map.
As you can see, it's four expansion to two, maybe Cid's undoing. Cid, seeing he can't get through the middle without a substantial force instead sends a dropship beside Peons' main.
When he tries to drop his Medarine cargo two photon cannons catch it in transit and demolish it before even one marine unloads. It looks like Cid is in trouble since Peons has map control and a good army.
Cid also has a large army to his name, made up mainly of marines and tanks. One other thing on Cid's side is that his factory units upgrades are 1-2 and his Infantry is 1-1 compared to Peons' 0-0-2 upgrades.
 O wait, Cid's army is on the move for Peons' base. As Peons' force consisting of Zealots, Dragoons, Dark Templars and a few High Templars come to intervene Cid sieges his tanks ready for a battle.
As Peons' forces engage Cid's forces Cid does some pretty bad micro and loses three quarters of his marines to zealots.
The Dragoons fight the remaining siege tanks and marines. Peons has expanded again to the top left island and Cid is trying to expand to the 3 o'clock main. But a lone Dark Templar patroling the area catches the SCV just as it finishs the Command Center. Even though he outnumbers Cid in expansions four to two (see Mini-Map) Peons hasn't attacked once yet.
And it may cost him.
Now Cid has three groups of medarines, seven tanks and an Science Vessel. Peons has a group of Dragoons, some Zealots, and a few archons. Then, what you have all been waiting for, as on those FOX tv shows:
WHEN CID ATTACKS!!
This time Peons has no chance as Cid ran him over with excellent macro. Peons concedes and gg's are exchanged.
