Lifetime Rating for dazedboy: 4.0000 |  | Welcome to my first submitted batter reports. If you dont like bgh games please leave NOW.
I've been playing ladder a bit lately and have come up with a pathetic 1018 ladder rating after winning 3 outta 5 games, but honestly i dislike the speed. Since i got a life and dont play this 24/7, i'm not as good on temple as the rest of yall...instead of practicing hours and hours to get good or constantly get my butt kicked, i rather just leave temple to it self, i'll play here and there but at this point i feel i'm but average on that map, so i supply my share of experiences to you gentle readers through battle reports and replays on the much hated BGH, where i do feel slightly superior.
Since at this point i do not have any words programs, my spelling might be messed up so be patient, or of course you can do waht i predict more than 1/2 of you have already done, LEAVE.
Anyways lets get this going, since i was playing with a friend i decided to use a nick that's not brand new this time, since the last time i used a new account i was mistreated and i felt very sad afterwards !_!, people can be so mean sometimes...what happen you ask?
well bnet's been a pain lately and since i have win 2000, it seems it's not very compatible, thus i can't join game and all it comes up is, the user's latency is much higher than yours...blah blah...so i go play in east now, since there's 50% chance i can join there. Anyways i create a name NewBie720 and get on bnet. First game i c was made by some aussies and called it 3v3bgh aussie...i click join and to my surprise...I GOT IN. OMG. i was the 3rd player on the top side of the tvb setting, so the first thing i said was, OMG I GOT IN. The 2 both typed "..." and moved me to the bottom half. I asked why they do that, they said "your a newbie so we dont want you" Than proceeded to bring up a guy with aobut 6-2-1 ratio in win/loss/disc. I call that stacking but oh well i dont care, i'll still stomp there asses for all i give a damn. But than someone starts to lag and the first thing they do is boot my best teammate who has about a 5-4 win/loss ratio, LOL. Anyways my other teammate leaves and i was left alone so i left all together. Not being satified with that i used the nick i've been using for a 3 month now which is about 77-7 FuRiOuS_AzNBoY. LOL that's right, i played about only 100 games in last 3 month. why? cause i have a life...so HA!!!
Anyways my friend Veeh gets on and we go play. I make 2v2 bgh no lag!!
Typical names these days, he joins within a second and 2 opponents join also Sea-Death and [SKY]CH. I didnt bother looking at the records and jsut went. I choosed protoss which have been the main race i've played with recently, i used to play zerg but i find toss easier to use now, anyways veeh goes with toss death goes with terran and CH goes with toss. So all teh race is picked, we are toss/toss facing toss/terran.
I'm thinking double rush and move on to DTs, veeh has other plans, he told ME to rush and him to go early DTs, sigh...oh well i'll proceed with my end and we'll see what happens.
Game starts
i draw orange toss on top right
Veeh draws Teal Toss right middle
Death Draw yellow terran bottom left
and CH draws red toss bottom middle
of course death and CH's position was later found
At this point for you people that's bad with directions veeh's under me and the 2 opponents are sharing the same choke ont he bottom side. Anyways i dont particularly like to scout with probe when i'm rushing since it will cause me to lose at least 1 gateway worth of minerals within the time it saves for my zealot to search, besides zealots find a early expanding zerg and might cause some havok, anyways
my build goes something liek this
8 pylon just to the left of my bottom geyser ( i know this is hard without visual aids...meaning PICTURES, but people jsut IMAGINE okay...or go watch the replay that i've posted under the same name)
10 gateway just slightly under and between the pylon and the geyser thus blocking enemy from entering my peon line, i do this with 1 oclock starts always, i build the gateways in a straight line accross so zealots can't just run pass and also place 2 cannons between pylons since i build them 2 spaces apart enough to fit another pylon or a canon and since they are blocked by the gateways zealots have to take a HUGE route to hit it, and it's a good defence positioning, anyways...
13 gateway build just left of the 1st gate so they are touching each other...btw gateways are buildings so no joke about touching each other please...anyways like i said i build gateways in a line on the 1 oclock start position and from this point on every gateway will be build to the left until it is totally blocked...all pylons will be build 2 or 4 spaces left of the past pylon until entire left side is supported
16 pylon
i dont make early zealots and just go fast 3 gate startup. My allie finds a supply depot blocking on the main chock between 6 and 7 with 2 barracks being eracted behind it, i figure if the terran has the guts to block main choke his partner must be next to him. Great i figured, that's just what i need...sigh 2 guys holding same choke, i'm thinking TURTLE you SoBs and i'll just cannon you in and become an expanding monkey. So after seeing that i by passed my 3rd zealot, and build a forge. I send my 2 zealots to see if i can cause havok and was greeted by 2 red zealots and 3 marines. Oh great we got a nice terran going infantry and a uncertain toss. At least i got some recon, a second depot is added left of the first one blocking entrance in to 6 oclock from teh right side, the left side is still open but i figure the toss is ont eh left and its open for his units to come out. After getting my 3rd zealot i pull a probe and went to middle of the map. I got greedy and build the pylon too close to there choke and a zealot spotted it, 5 marines and 2 zealots.
They quickly gunned down my head probe and i canceled the pylon tucked my tail between my legs and ran like a dog, i'm not putting 3 zealots up against 5 rines and 2 zealots. Right when i got to 2 zealots that came out of my gateway, i left the 3 right on top of the middle of the map and left the other 2 at my base for back defence incase they take the long route, i also start a cannon incase they doubled rushed me, since i figure i can micro my way pass some zealots and marines. I wait a moment to see waht happen while continueing to put up more zealots and pylons to support myself. I made non stop probes all game long, sigh about 50 probes mining the 15 or so patches or mineral outta my main, sigh...well taht was later anyways.
I sit back a bit and erracted my 4th gateway which did not make a line yet but probably was 1 short, all i needed was anotehr gateway to the left and i ahve a full line of gateways and with some cannon behind it, it'll take LOT of troops to boom pass it, anyways.
I see a HELP from veeh and 3 colors in his base int eh forms of 6 marines and 6 zealots. I look at my measly 6 zealots and look at his unfinished templar archive and NO DEFENCE at his base. My hands start sweeting, sigh. I send my 6 zeal to his base which got pretty much slaughtered to and got aobut 2 or 3 zealots maybe. He canceled his near finished archive to save up 400. He ran his probes out...probably 5 or 6 of them and started a expansion on top middle. 3 more zealots pop out of my gateway but that'll just be suicide, i gather them slight on top of veeh's old natural and wait.
My 4 gateways came online and all 4 starts pumping zealots, i'm slacking here, got 700+ in the bank, taht means i'm not macroing damn it, i feel incompetent now, so i do what any greedy asian would do, MAKE MORE MONEY AND MAKE MORE UNITS. I throw 3 more gateways down all below my 4th gate so it looks like a line of gateways and another perpendicular line just at the right of the last gateway. My initial line is not complete yet with one gateway missing ont eh left but i'll throw that one in later. I need to do some serious macro or i'm gonna lose the game right here.
2 full pumps of zealots and i get to 11 in number, i send them to veeh's base as they are shredding it up, i can't left them dictate where they want to go, cause if they find veeh's naked expansion on top middle he's gone, he has no money left and that expansion HAS to live.
I meet up with a bout 7 zealots and 9 rines, the rines stim, OH SHIT, what's next 5 medics show up? lol, so the Death has academy now, okay i can handle that, i dont even bother microing the zealots since i figure no matter how hard i use the 11 zealots, i'm not gonna beat out 7 zeals and 9 rines. I think i killed 4 or 5 zealots total before it gets demolished.
I'm still macroing at home here, money is pouring in from the constant probe production and all 7 gateways will be online soon. My citadel just finished, i want my DTs asap. Opps forgot to say but i made a core while getting the forge since i was gona tech and made the citadel when they hit veeh.
3 rines come towardsd my base to meet my 2 zealots, they run i run, it's kinda funny, i didnt want my 2 zealots to engage and neither did death. So we both ran, i ran to my cover of 2 cannons behind gateways now, those cannons shall care the day and find brave with my zealots to save my ass, cause i dont wanan die yet.
I'm figureing about 7 or 8 zealots with 1 control group of marines wiht stims coming my way soon, i gotta prepare. I throw down a templar archive get gas at the second geysar and continue pumping zealots. Cant get enough zealots right now, they got map control and they will stomp my ass if i let them get expansions.
It was kinda funny cause red has zealots at every position including the 12 where veeh was...but his zealot was to the left and did not see him. If they saw him 3 or 4 zealots could have marched in and killed all his probe and his one lone nexus standing there, lol. Anyways they come knocking on my door, damn it i hate peopel bothering me when i'm macroing, cant they jsut leave me alone.
7 zealots and a control group of marines with 8 medics come knocking in, i've not been idle, and my 7 gateway will definately out produce them since it takes them time to get here. I got 13 zealots with my 2 cannons in back but i left the zeal where there rally point is, where my choke is, i dont care, i'll hold this anyways i got a nice surprise for them.
Death sure did a good job though, his head marines took a dive and went south off after seeing my zealots and while CH engages my zealots with his, Death stims his rines and takes cheap shots, final results, i run back with 2 zealots while CH has 2 zealots also and death keeps 6 rines with 4 medics. DOPE lack of micro and i lose big, id otn care though, they can micro all they want, it just means they are not keeping up wiht macro at home, so i'll beat them that way, i continue cranking zealots and hoping i can live pass this.
It's not looking good though, got zealots/rines/meds on my tail while i only ahve 2 zealots and 2 cannosn to fight wiht, and they got MAP CONTROL damn it.
Just as CH's zealots come pass my choke my surprise arrives, 2 DTs, oh boy i didnt even bother with CH's zealots since i have 2 cannons and 2 zealots of my own, i went straight for Death's marines, swips and swips, 5 outta 6 rines go down and CH's reenforcement was send back also, i push all the way to the middle of the map with the 2 DTs. 2 more DTs arrive from my gateways as my gas run low, i keep up zealot production. I figure maybe i can steal one here, if they dont ahve detection up front. One dt heads to there combine choke, a nice M&M force with zealots and 2 turrets, great i run backwards losing the shield than i park my DT at the middle as a recon. My storm upgrade is almost complete and i ring up 2 Templars outta my gateways and also brings down a probe and start a pylon to the upper right portion of the middle. I needed some support cause my ground troops was not gonna win me the game. I figure i can get a few good storm in when they smack my cannons and maybe i can hold the middle a bit longer.
I've still got money here so i put down my 8th gate to the left and complete my line also a rob fac since i figure i needed to drop them if i was gonna have a chance since it dont seem i can over power 2 guys through the front door. sigh
Soon before my 3rd cannons even warps in rep come knocking. Followed by yellow M&M&F with vessle support. Sigh damn vessles, they stomp my lead DT and smash in to the cannons, damn it people...my templar isn't downt ehre yet, i fight for it anyways which was stupid. My 10 zealots and 6 dts with 3 cannon support takes on red's 11 zealots wiht no problems but once death's medics and infantry arrive, CH's zealots start preveling as they are being heals while they fight, and my DTs get cut down by lead bullets. Sigh i lose that sight but taking with me all of red's zealots and leaving only a few meds and one tank and one marine from yellow. my templars arrive with 4 zealots and i charge again, i out number them and as long as i have a slight advantage, i'm gonan charge.
More mmf arrive but my zealots tear in and my first templar sees a nice peice of real estate to storm where 5 meds are healing units...the storm catch and all 5 meds die along with a marine and the next storm kills anotehr rine and firebat
More Yellow/Red units pour in and i'm forced back, i ahve no choice. It doesn't look good again. He has vessles he has zealots he has a strong mmf and tanks, what do i have? zealots pouring outta 8 gateways and my natural now, i dont ahve room to expand right now so i put down a pylon and 2 cannons backed by about 10 zealots now. 8 gateways make zealots VERY fast when you ahve enough resource. hehe. They hold at the 12 natural and waits, i'm wondering when they'll come for me but to my surprise they went to veeh.
Veeh have not been idle but sure is slow, his 4 stargates are up and after seeing me lose the middle he warps in a few cannons JUST in case. Well 10 red zealot were scared off by the 5 morphing cannons and waits for Death's tank to come. By now my shuttle is ready and i await my DTs to drop on 6. I dont know who's at 6 yet so i guess i'm justhoping for the best. i send my zealots to help veeh and once 4 dts come out i send it to 6. A zealot spotted me at 5 main since i flew straight down and than left, but i guess the zealot didnt ahvea radio and didnt tell CH i was coming. I saw a red photon next to the right side of CH's minerals my 4 DTs dug in and killed it losing 1 in the process than open field day on the probes after all that's done Death's vessle and CH's zealots kill my DTs but only left with about 12 total probes, i just knocked him off his chair a bit here, he'll be idle for a few minute but for now i gotta save Veeh. I pour zealots from my base to his, veeh lost all his cannons by now and one of his starports but one carrier came out to fight for him. It can't do it by itself so my zealots run through a guantlet of troop blockaid at the 12 natural including zealots and mmf. i had excess gas and low cash so i got a few more templars with intention to morph archons in the process as well. My upgrades got to 2-0-0 but now my 2nd forge is upgrading as well now so they should come fast.
At this point CH's 1-1-1 upgraded and Death has a 1-1 upgrade on vehicles. He's going metal here, i see goliaths and tanks soon all over the place, again i dont care i'm not gonna give in to this game right now, if i can save veeh we might sitll ahve a chance, they cant front assult on me yet since i sitll got temps handing around and the route to 1 is ahrd, the road is small and troops get stuck my cannons at natural will take alot of damage before it falls.
Just as my force break through most of death's troops, it meets a wall at the choke of 12. Tanks/gols/marines with meds and firebats kill my zealots like butter and at that moment CH hits my base with a group of zealots. I dont have that many i only got 3 or 4 but i got templars. The zealots engage the cannons and i throw 2 storms right on top of it catching most of the numbers as my zealots engage i throw more storms when numbers are in my favor, when 5 of his face 2 of mine i'll storm over everyone, those brave zealots of mine who died to the same storm will have my deepest sympathy but on the battle field one cannot go soft.
i hold at my main losing both my cannons and only left with 4 templars and 5 zealots. THe templars are mostly out of juice but there's a few with at least 75 energy in there. Death pours in to my natural now with tanks and gols. Oh man remember what i said about the troops getting stuck at the thin road leading to my natural, well when the tanks stop to fire at my zealots the gols and the other tanks and med/marines gets stuck, lean back on my chair and throw up 2 or 3 storms catching most of the forces but he's just got more and more, they start pouring in and all my zealots die... the 4 templars flee and i hope my cannons can stall time as 7 more zealots are coming soon. HOLD BABY HOLD. i got money pouring outta my ass, almost 800 min again, so i put down a few more gates taking the total to 10, i'm not gonna let them win this easy, if they wanna mull me down they gotta go through 10 gates worth of pure zeals. I haven't made any ground to air unit this game yet. Hehe my old defence is one cannons next to the right of my mineral line to discourage DT dropping but it's useless too. lol
All this time a pesky SV have been sitting over the water over looking my natural, damn Death can see everything i got, little punk, but at this point ic an't do anything about it, i'm not willing to put up goons against a metal force on bgh since the land is not as open and not as big as temple, my goons would jsut clog up and get killed.
my 7 new zealots starts pounding on the units outside my base. the seiged tank starts pounding my gateways and i'm just looking at templar energy all this time, I HAVE TO LIVE DAMN IT. btw, veeh's still got yellow troops in his base, lol so he's no better than me, but he's got 3 carriers with aobut 5 total interceptors, he brings them to save my ass. PHEW that guy finally did something for me. woohoo. i HOLD the defence and move out again, with gateway total up to 14 soon i'm macroing up a storm here. i push out again and clear out all the troops in veeh's base and hold outside of 12 natural. I take the time and expand to the natural of top left whihc is 11, i dont take main cause red has zealots everywhere, so i rather take a natural instead. I also have zealots at every main and i know they haven't expanded...but i guess they took there natural too. I need to get my macro juice going harder or i'll lose, i que up 2 zeals on every gate and que more until i have no cash, and every 30 seconds i double chekc and que up more zealots i'm not gonna save money here.
I hold the 12 natural with about 2 groups of zealots when i heard a warp blade swip, oh great red has DTs. Damn it i order up an observatory and back my zealots to my cannons ALL the way back in my base. i send my first observer to Veeh's base since he has no defence other than 3 carriers, he lost his forge so not cannons either. 3 DTs and gol/tanks pour in against his 5 carriers. They managed to completely whip him this time. The gols are 1-1 still and 2 carriers fall quickly so he retreats back to my base. Everything is killed except his pylons on the top of the base which yellow did now see. I've saved about 2 1/2 groups of zeals and damn it i'm not gonna left those DTs/tanks/gols live after pounding thorugh and killed everything veeh has, my zealots charge 12 taking out a bulk of the reinforcements at 12 natural and just clearing 12 all together. Veeh has 3 full carriers and 5 pylons at this time he decided to go on icq to flirt wiht the girl he's trying to get...OMG that SoB i tell ya.
Yellow tries to break 12 natural again with tanks and gols but a total of 2 groups of zealots hold the ground and with my gateways rally at 12 natural my troops come pouring in which included 6 archons i morphed. I maynard about 20 probes from my base to mine at my expansion thus breaking out nicely. i have a smooth econ flowing in and a high troop count. I dont know why i'm waiting but i jsut did. I told veeh to go harrase Death but he didnt respond (flirting with girl)
At this moment CH decide to test me. A group of zealots and 2 archons with 3 DTs meet my force which was about 3 - 4 groups of zealots and 6 archons with observer support. I killed him with ease so i figure he's choking for minerals with low production. I snuked a storm raid on him a bit early that killed 1/2 of his probes again so he ahs nothing. I jsut went for it. Straight throught he front. And within 1 minute i found my self typing to veeh (who was not there anyways) "HELL YEAH"
my 3 temps got yellow clustered gols and vultures and marines and my zealots made short work of everything else.
The rest was kinda history, i pour zeals and soon goons in to the scene outta 14 gateways with my upgrades at 3-2-2. Red had a carrier that tried to stop me but archons and storms made him retreat. Yellow got in a good nuke on my main peon line. I didnt even hear the NUKE DETECTED cause i had music on, i just noticed a matrixed drop shit flying outta my base, i though he dropped on my cliff so i loaded a shuttle of zealts and got an observer but the nuke came down just as i turned the shuttle around. His ghosts ended up dying to my zeals and soon yellow concedes after i broke about 8 tanks at his main. Soon red followed and gave up after much of his base was already razed.
NOT EVEN A GG...what kinda players are these...SAVAGES i tell you.
i was laughing all the way to icq. I out mined them all but the key was that i out spend them by a large margin.
THe problem with bgh is you get so much money you ahve a problem spending it. Red just sucked he didnt have enough probes and the DTs templar raid took the number even lower, but at no point did he have more than 25 probes. Yellow played well but he had 6 or 7k int eh bank at the end...BAD BAD BAD. i had 1k at the end but if the game went on i woulda taken 12 and had 10 more gateways there...sigh
this report is too long to read i would just recommending you to go DL the replay.
peace out
