----------------------------------------------
Phase 1
-------
Having just lost on an island map with Terran (BTW, what are Terran supposed to do on islands vs Toss?), Terran~Style was unlucky again and drew Terran again for the rematch
Talking too much, I messed up my DT rush build order and had to mix in a Zealot for safety, since my first DT delayed for about 20-30 seconds.
After my 1st DT popped out, I immediately attacked with my lone Zealot, which was waiting at Styles choke, to see what he has.
He had mines, mines and mines again, and 2 Factories with Machine Shops meaning he would surely try the tank/vulture combo on me.#
Omnipresent_One: "If you beat Necrosausage! with Terran im gonna worship u a bit, style ;-)"
A lil scared by the mines, I still attacked with my DT - the DT was killed by a Spider mine, but its splash damage also killed not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4(!) surrounding Vultures, so it was still a great tradeoff for me.
Having crippled him this way, I expanded at my natural and sent my next attack with another DT and a Dragoon. The DT tried to go for the SCVs but was again killed by mines, The Goon chewed at his suburb buildings before he was killed by Vultures and mines.
Meanwhile, I researched storm, got my xpansion to run and built a Reaver in a Shuttle.
My next move was to drop him, using a Reaver, a Templar and a DT.
I dropped above his ressources, but my force was totally annihilated by mines, not killing even one of his extremely tightly packed SCVs (he had an inane number of SCVs, at least 2,5 per mineral block)
Dang it! I saw that this wouldnt be an easy win as usual vs Terran, and so I xpanded yet again at the 9 position, while my Observers still could not find any Terran xpansion on the map.
Omnipresent_One: "If you lose this game, I will laugh my ass off and... what did I say before?"
Necrosausage!: "U said u gonna worship style"
Omnipresent_One: "Im gonna do this no more since u suck so much ;-)"
After this, I sent another drop force of 1 Reaver, 1 Temp and 1 Zealot to the exact same spot (Omnipresent started complaining how predictable I am), only to be killed again by mines. My Reaver however got 2 shots off but instead killing dozens of SCVs he just brought a tank down to 2 HP (dunno how this happened, normally 2 shots kill a tank)
After this, I sent yet ANOTHER drop force to the SAME place, of course being killed by mines
Omnipresent_One: "Man, u r so damn predictable"
Omnipresent_One: "U r no more my Protoss hero"
Necrosausage! : ":-("
Meanwhile, I threw down 3 StarGates at my 9 xpansion, my next plan was predictable: Carriers
At this time, lag became incredible and Style was about to drop. One of the last things he said was "Save"
"WTF?" I thought, I never saved a multiplayer game and didnt even know how to do, however, I found the "Save" point in the menu quickly and saved the game, only a few seconds before Style finally dropped
Back in channel, I and Omnipresent were wondering how to continue a saved game, but when Style came back he told us: just pick the saved game as a map.
So I did, and we continued the game...
Phase 2
-------
"He must have something that gives him a chance to win this game, oherwise he would not be so curious to continue it", I thought. So I checked yet again for any xpansions, but still did not found anyone.
Well, after about 5 seconds later, I saw why he was so pissed off and wanted to save when he dropped: He had ammassed about 4 Tanks with heavy Goliath/Vulture/Marine support at the upper right edge of my base, and started to blow away my buildings
Omnipresent_One: "Where is that damn PsiStorm u always beat me with when Im Terran"
Necrosausage!: "Ooops, just forgot that"
Omnipresent_One: "Sigh"
I sent all my units to fend it off - unluckily, those 2 Zlots, 1 Goon, 1 DT and a Temp werent enough (I spent all my money on xpanding, teching and upgrading to Carriers, as I did not xpect such an attack, and thus I only had so few units).
"Well, take my main I dont care I thought", since I still had 2 xpansions, and my 5th Carrier just completed.
So, while he had all his units killing my main, I attacked his main with my Carriers and xpanded yet again - at the top left island.
He had just finished my main, and moved on to my natural, thereafter my Carriers hit his main - I xpected heavy Ghosts, so I was very carefull - I just hit and run - I killed his CC and then I retreated.
he starts hitting my natural while my Carriers are still in transit
his CC goes down in the glimpse of an eye under heavy Interceptor fire
However, on this Hit-and-Run I did not meet so much resistance, and I was just losing precious time sitting around above his main and waiting for idunnowhat, so I decided to attack again while his troops were killing my natural.
I found a new CC at the old spot, and thought "WTF", and it took me about half a minute to see it was not Styles new CC, but Omnipresent_Ones starting CC :-D, no wonder that my Carriers didnt attack it with right-click...
However, this time I met the dreaded Ghosts, and 3 of my 5 Carriers were lockdowned, but he had no forces at home to finish them as his puny 3 Goliaths were no match for the remaining 2 Carriers, so I advanced and killed the CC at his natural.
Meanwhile, his force attacked my 9 xpansion, which only had 1 Carrier and plenty of cannons for defense, which isnt a good combo when facing siege Tanks and Goliaths, so it also went down. Seeing that I could not save this xpansion, and not willing to risk my 5 Carriers (my only combat units at this point), I razed his main instead of helping my xpansion.
he is killing my 9 xpansion
Lag became pretty awful again around here and so Omnipresent quit, while remaining in contact with me and asking every 5 seconds how the game is going :-D
I fortified my island xpansion with plenty of Cannons, but I didnt think of the ledge below it.
So it came that he dropped his Siege Tanks there (However, he made the mistake to also drop a couple of Goliaths there, that were shot down by my cannons).
his Siege Tanks are killing my last base, but my Carriers are already underway
As his Siege Tanks were killing my last xpansion, I decided that I must finally take his attack force out of the game, he had only a 2-3 Goliaths now (he lost about 3-4 to the cannons), so my Carriers met no resistance when finally wiping his attack force out.
As my Carriers moved to help my xpansion, I also found that he tried to rebuild at 12. My Carriers also razed that
Terran~Style: "I wish I had a couple of Ghosts now"
One of my Observers found his very last rebuilding attempt at 6 (my old main), my Carriers also razed that and finally we xchaged our "gg"s
Terran~Style: "I cant believe I lost this game"
Necrosausage!: "And I cant believe it took me so long to kill a TERRAN ;-)"
Terran~Style: "hehe"
Lessons learned:
----------------
1) I pretty much suck when Im disappointed that my DTs didnt work
2) I should not be so lazy not to use Storm and DWeb
3) Carriers rule
4) Xpanding is very importand - he had so much excess SCVs, for that price he coulda xpanded to the lower island and then he woulda won
5) I outta build more workers - when the game ended for the first time b/c of the lag, he had 13000 ressources to my 16000 - but I was just building my 2nd xpansion and he had none!
