Lifetime Rating for HolyAnarchy{GK}: 5.8333 |   | I got up really early, since I got no sleep anyway. I went to the Goo Goo Dolls, Sugar Ray concert. Kid Rock showed up. It ruled. Anyway, I go into nohunters, and find a few people, all who obviously didn't go to the concert, because they are sleeping. So I play a few games, kick some ass, then join a game.
Me, HolyAnarchy, The Hero: Terran, Top right
NightMare~Mage, Lamer Extreme: Terran, Bottom left
I started my usual build of 9 depot, 10 rax, when he started asking if I was good, and all other sorts of annoying stuff. How old I was, where I lived, what race I am, etc etc. I make 4 marines from my rax, and put a bunker at my ramp, and send Mark, with a bottle of malt liquor, scouting. He ran up a ramp, and stumbled/swaggered drunkenly into 4 marines at his ramp. Ok. Drinking and driving again, Mark?
I was making depots this whole time, and scvs. I started getting gas.
NightMare~Mage: I guess no rush
Jeez. This guys asking for it. I get 5 scvs on gas, and start 2 factorys, planning a Heavy Metal Terran type opening. (BTW, that strat kicks ass, I've killed 4 toss with it so far) I add on a machine shop to one, and start making mine uograded vultures, and siege capable tanks. I also start another CC, planning to float it to the upper left island.
Now I have 3 tanks, 7 vultures, and my CC is finished. I float it towards the island when it crosses paths with a dropship. Uh oh. He's planning a back door drop, I think. I unsiege my 3 tanks, plant them next to my CC, and go back to building.
BAM! Arclite cannon, hitting my refinery. Huh? I didn't know this worked: He put a tank on the very edge of the upper right ledge, and was hammering my gas. I unsige, Siege, and take out the tank, losing one of my own. I have an academy and Scanner, so I sweep him. 2 Starports, pumping obviously wraiths. I hastily make an E-bay, and start making a turret here and there.
I also start 3 starports, and an armory. I also start pumping wraiths, when in he runs and destroys my turret next to my refinery, and BAM! He blasts my gas again. I take my 6 or so wraiths, and kill 2 wraiths gaurding the tank, then the tank, and run from the turret set up there. Now I had an expansion running, and a dry main. Already? Wow.
I make a dropship and load up 8 scv's, and drop them at my exp, making a few turrets (finally) on the outskirts of it. Now I send 12 wraiths down to the 6 o'clock position and ran into his base. A few wraiths were killed in a small skirmish, ad I noticed a half-built CC. Hmmm. I send another control group of wraiths, now 0/1/1, to the 12 position. I make 4 valeries, and send them to reinforce. I take my natural over, and he hasn't made another move. I scan his base, and find a massing, maybe 24 0/0/0 wraiths, and a Sci facility, no addons yet.
This whole time, he had been telling me how good i am (and jesus, I really am NOT that good) and I've been telling him about my strategy for T vs T. I scan, and see has a few goliaths. Good for him. I rush in with my 12 wriaths and 4 valks, and lose most of my wraiths, killing a science vessel and a few (4-5) wraiths. Ok, this isn't working. I start making tanks again, and make 3 dropships. I load up 5 tanks, and send them, and maybe a 16-odd wraiths escort, with the 4 valks, to the area above his ramp. I drop the tanks, Siege up, and take out a turret or two when a fleet of wraiths comes in. Always 12. Hmm. Hotkeys, anyone? Anyway, I cloak, and kill some of his wraiths before he finds his comstat.
Meanwhile, my upgrade finishes. Now my wraiths are gonna ext his for lunch. 0/2/2 vs 0/0/0, in equal numbers. Bwahahaha. I roast another fleet of wraiths, sending more to back them up. I start eating his main, when he threatens to disconnect if I don't ally. I inform him that I can take a screen shot and send it to Blizz (I know it won't work, I wonder about him. =))
NightMare~Mage: Plz

HolyAnarchy{GK}: Noooooooooooo
And he was magically dropped from the game. Huk huk, no hack, good manna.
Lessons:
o Teching is the order of the day on a Terran V Terran Match.
o So is air
o Never forget to change tactics. If I kept going wriths, and hadn't built thoise tanks, it woulda taken a lot longer to break him down.
I have a nice shot of him being dropped, but it is 51.8K. I'll send it to you johnny, I have no idea how to crop it.
Have a nice day, HolyAnarchy{GK} |
