So... I thought I'd share with you all this unique game I played a while ago ^^
game summary:+ Show Spoiler +
So it opens up pretty standard, me at the 7oclock and toss at the 1 oclock, but when i get my gas stolen I build a second barracks and proceed to produce many marines, get academy for stim, and when he tries to attack me my marines kill shit. We both lose our armies and then toss expands to the main at 9oclock and completely skips his own natural.

Seeing his natural empty, I begin to think he's even worse than me(I actually have my nat running, although quite late), so I just macro up some more MnM and add some siege tanks in for good measure. Meanwhile he builds pylon walls and a zillion cannons and takes the natural of his new base where he proceeds to make carriers.

I finally make a clumsy-ass push on the map and kill a bunch of dragoons as well. I comsated the expansion and sent my force over there, using the tanks to destroy all the cannons. He takes his carriers and starts to assault my main. I kinda panic, and he targets my starport for some reason... so a couple hero marines actually kill 1 carrier. I've expanded again to the right corner expo and eventually build 3 factories and an armory to make goliaths.

After killing his expansion I go in for the kill at his main. I realize at this point that no matter how big your army is, you lose without any buildings. He's pretty much killed off my whole base at this point, but my ninja expansion is still alive. He heads towards it while I proceed to tear up his base. It is now an elimination race. My adrenaline is pumpin hard as i lose my last CC and all my SCVs. Toss frantically tries to build additional pylons in his base to survive but it's not enough; he types out an instant before the last pylon falls. GG. LOL... great game. I was very surprised to have won! It was the most exciting game I've ever played so far.

It's riddled with horrible micro and macro on both sides, but overall it's pretty exciting. You may want to fast forward through some parts where we just macro. However, stick with it 'til the very end! You won't be disappointed! =D

EDIT: yay I just realized this is my 99th post! (& i had a minor typo too)

Your description of it makes him sound very noob lol. Still, when something exciting like this happens it is intense! It's quite the natural high (see relevant thread lol).

Afaik carriers are a terrible response to marines. Sea actually recommending going marines against carriers didn't he? They just completely own interceptors.

Do you think is viable to go sair reaver when he goes bio mech? LOL, just though of the silliest counter strategy ever!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

No, but a ground army with reaver and high templar support would be the best counter to a terran doing a Deep Six mnm push.

yes... High templar rape MnM, as do reavers. Sair reaver... lol i guess D-web is the only use for the sairs though. DTs can do pretty well too if unnoticed.
I have tried this tactic a couple times when i get my gas stolen, although i usually get destroyed in the end due to my poor mechanics and macro DX

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea how often deep six is used on iccup?

I know a few progamers have used deep six... but the only truly memorable use of deep six (at least to me) was Kal vs ForGG.

As a protoss player, I have never faced a deep six build on iccup even once. My friends haven't even used this on me in random games.

It honestly sounds pretty hard to execute, and your control would have to be much better than with metal. I'm not surprised that I don't see it at the D+ level.

Well, that makes sense. I have hard time with macroing from many rax vs Zerg or in 2:2 games vs PZ (which probably doesn't help the fact that I have a low winning rate vs PZ)

Now imagine fighting storms/reavers with this. ~_~
