Feels good to be back in the chair
So i decided to switch to terran this season even though i said i would play random.
I finally have decent internet (if none of my roommates are also on it) and i have a computer desk! and oddly enough it made us reorganize stuff so now we have more room than before!
anyway, onto business, those of you who are still with me:
Played two games. Im now ranked 40 or 50 something in Plat.
First game was against a random on the cloud map. i usually open one rax fe, because i used to play zerg, so early expanding is still in the blood. Then i noticed he grabbed an early gas, did not wall and didnt start a second rax. so i opened with a zerg counter 2 rax.(same against zerg, then you get a cc and grab both gases asap after so you don’t fall behind macrowise) i attacked when i had 4 marines. he had 4 marines, i rallied my marines to his natural. i focus fired his marines and had two to spare. he sent his scvs and killed one, the other got away. when my two rines came up i went up the ramp and killed his scv building a bunker and his marines. again he sent his scvs, i picked some off before they killed my guys. then i just repeated like 5 times, run up the ramp with two or 3, kill off the rine, kill the scv building the bunker, put rounds into the bunker, snipe scvs. repeat. finally he said “why can’t you just play a normal fucking game?” and left.
I kind of loled because i had 2 factories with seige tech on the way and was taking my natural.
the next game was one of my favorites. Late game. 42 or like 44 minutes against another terran. oddly i used a marine tank mix.
So heres how it went down. same map, i had top spawn. i scouted early gas and one rax with no blocked ramp, so i went two rax fe again, except this time he was prepped with two bunkers by the time my push came in. i brought two scvs to tank the damage too, but obviously you cant break two bunkers with 6 rines and two scvs. but by this time my second inbase cc was finishing. after the failed attack i quickly grabbed both my geysers and put an scv at each tower and a scv down at his third. he says to me “whatchu know about being behind?” i loled in my head and said “its a game, calm yo tits”. i bunkered and go like 2 tanks before i expoed. then i grabbed a hellion for scouting. there were two rines at his 3rd and he killed my scv. i took a handful of rines and went down there. i also grabbed a starport and another factory and started a 3rd cc. i got a reactor on my starport and started stashing viking in the top left corner. when my handful of guys engaged, i saw his third was finished and starting to saturate it. i moved a tank to my third and began to do the same.
he took his closest watch tower. seconds later i noticed some red dots on the minimap close to my third. i brought my tanks and everything to defend. he hit just as i moved, one or two seconds later i seiged my tanks opting just to save my scvs. the OB could be rebuilt. he stimmed and ran into like the tank fire of 10 tanks and needless to say his MMM got smashed. i was back in the game (later, watching the replay i would see that he was maxed). i retook my third and started my fourth in base. I also (realizing that a bio terran is like a zerg inthat there is a few second window wherein he has almost nothing, took everything but 2 tanks and was going to go to his natural. his tower scouted me and he moved everything there, (i scanned it) and then i cut as though i was going to go that way so he’d seige his tanks, it worked, i then cut down and seiged on his third, destroying the cc within seconds, however i didnt get any scvs. somewhere in here i got an engineering bay and an armoury and started air attack upgrades and ground ups. his viking soared over for range. thanks to my terrible macro, i had a lot of scan so i was able to scan and keep his tanks pinned until my 10 or so viking smashed his.
I was scared for a drop so i moved to take my fourth near the middle of the map, moved two tanks there and rallied back at my natural. i also took the bottom watch tower. i wanted to get ready for a fifth so i took a marine to the ten oclock in the top left. he had a cc there. shit. i took 6 marines, a tank and a medivac and told them to go there to shut that down. he immeditaly lifted off and ran his scvs away. i wanted it for myself so i sieged my tank and left my small group of marines there. i also sent another marine to the bottom right expo to check there. nothing. good. he was on like 1.5 bases and i was on almost two.
my bottom tower marine gets sniped by two rauders. i scanned his tanks again on his third and most were gone but he left 3 there to make sure i couldnt move forward. his army was moving north to my fourth. near the middle of the map. i scanned his 9oclock base, sure enough thats where his scvs were now. i took my tanks, desieged them and was going to bring them to the 3 oclock of his army while my reinforcements tried to delay his seige. the reinforcements get there too late and i decided to try and lure his people into my tanks. i run my scvs at my fourth away and fly my 4th away towards my third. i start a cc at the 5th where my 1 tank and 6 marines are. i scan his expo near the middle of the map. a cc is almost done. perfect. i send a small group of marines there and he brings reinforcements from his base to defend and his main army. his main army runs smack into my tanks and its an even trade. i come out with like 2-3 left. i build 2 more factories, 5 more barracks and 2 starports with a fushion core on the way and start upgrading. i grab my 3 oclock expansion just below my natural. i also fly my cc back to its original location back to the middle of the map and i make my 10oclock 5th a planetary. my third mines out along with my natural.
to stall for some time, i drop his 4th in the middle of the map and i drop his main. this is purely for time, as my macro slipped and im sitting only on like 140 food. the stall works, but i see he has this third up again, though almost mined out and his fourth in the middle and his 5th at his 9. i place some marines at his tower to deny him site. i notice he is on the move. i take what i have, two BCs and a hanful of tanks and throw them into his army. luckily the amazing armour and DPS of the battlecruiser pulls through and i win not only that engagement in the middle, but a second as well. i pull some scvs to repair and send my next set of reinforcements to his base in the middle. i seige up there and take whats left of my BC platoon and move east towards his other expo. the tanks begin the barrage on his middle base, but the rest of my BC group is swept away by marines. the scvs didnt make it, then he swings that group around and stims at my 3-4 tanks and snipes them. i win the battle but can no longer continue the seige because he planteried both bases. untouchable.
he launches a counter offensive with a large amount of forces he was probably keeping in base, to my third. i only see if because one of his mauraders hits an scv in my middle base on the way into position. i take my reinforcements and move to my third, expecting to lose my middle base. to try and bait him i use my bio and attack from the bottom right, while my tanks are seiged near my third up north. stimming and just stutter stepping towards his bio ball works. he tries to catch my fleeing scvs and runs into my tanks and a battle cruiser i forgot about. the push was stopped, at the cost of a lot of infantry and my tanks.
i figure he’s probably starved for resources because im on 2-3 bases and he’s only on two which are way oversaturated. i re-take my 4th in the middle. i constantly check my minimap to see if he took the bottom right expo, but nothing. i decide to do a 3 prong attack. i load up 3 medivacs and have them go around the edge of the map and drop on the supply depots in his main. then another group goes east to stay out of range and snipe the scvs while staying out of range of the planetary. the bulk of my forces was going to the edge of the bottom base to snipe scvs there. he cant protect them all.
the first group going east hits first and he upgraded the range of the PF, so the first half of my guys get blasted into oblivion, the rest are able to stay out of range, he engaged with some marines, and luckily i am able to beat it with two marines left standing, though they can only hit the scv/mule that go to the right most mineral patches. thats fine. my drop enters his base and the bulk of my army stims and kills all the scvs at the middle base. i take this army and move towards his third, where he has an extra set of rax producing. i snipe all of them and now he has to pick between trying to beat the bulk of my army or the ones inside his base destroying his supply. he otps for my army since his armour is two and mine is only one. i get the concave by running a group to the left to flank and i re-stim. once this is cleaned up, there was a second, i think he was checking his base, his supplies were gone.
leaves the game without a gg.
my zerg habits are paying off.
Map control, constant map checking, and backstabbing like a mofo
Make a change and stop Joesph Kony
Who is Joseph Kony?: http://vimeo.com/37119711Pledge Here: http://www.kony2012.com/
the deadline to stop Kony ends Dec. 31st 2012
If you don’t feel like watching the video, here’s a little summary:
Joseph Kony lives in Central Africa. What Joseph does is, he abducts African kids. He takes them and he keeps them. He makes the boys killers, usually they have to kill their families. When girls are abducted they are turned into sex slaves and are raped. There is no way out of his group: Lord’s Resistance Army, AKA the LRA. He has adbucted over 30,000 children and had made them child soldiers. he won’t stop what he is doing until he is caught, he found out that the US is now on a making to look for him making him harder to find. Right now, Kony is invisible because no one knows about him.. no one. Tell as many people about Kony as you can and make him visible and know. Donate money if you can. Make him visible. we need change, and we need difference. we need Kony to be famous so we can stop the harm of innocent children, this won’t hurt your blog.. just reblog it.
Playing as Random for Season 6
The probability of me going back into gold seems very high considering I dont know any protoss builds other than FFE, and I cant even do that one correctly
yeap yeap
I definatley suck now…
-_______________-
can’t seem to win games anymore…. seems like im just garbage over all….
its really frustrating because im reading how to do things and I think im doing okay and then out of no where some shit happens,
like i was trying this roach ling pressure timing attack thing against toss and he dt rushed me so i got fucked
and before that was a 6 pool
and before that i lost because my lings decided to chase two banelings and the other two exploded in my mineral line
and before that i got a terran who went hellion/thor/rauder and i even got broods and fucking roaches to counter and i still lost.
its just really annoying when I feel like im making the right decisions and I still lose….
just ate the last of my oreos…
this was the last of my US sweets….
I feel like its the last physical thing I had from the US…
