Hello people. This is the third episode of my adventures in ICCup. I have hit D+ already and am working to get at least a C- this season. I've played quite a few games already at D+ and still hovering at 2200+ points.

This game was a PvP with me against a D+ player who was just one more win away to being C-. Let's just see how today's episode will unfold


+ Show Spoiler +
I am the teal protoss while he is the light blue.

The game begins with me opening with a 2 gate.
[image loading]


Due to his luck, he manages to scout me on first attempt and responds by getting himself a second gate and stopping gas mining.
[image loading]


Having a clear intention of deceiving him, I make a proxy battery just to assure him that I'm putting everything that I've got into this push, forcing him to delay his tech even further.
[image loading]

[image loading]


I go ahead and poke his ramp and we soon engage in a battle.
[image loading]


He having the superior army wins this battle and I helplessly retreat.
[image loading]


Meanwhile, I got my DT tech up and running while he was still stuck at goon tech.
[image loading]


The proxy battery serves its purpose in tricking him to my all-in and delays his attack on me.
[image loading]


At this point however, I'm way behind in army count. He has more healthier lots than I do and has dragoons too...
[image loading]

as compared to..
[image loading]


He goes in for an attack but by this time, both my DTs have arrived.
[image loading]


He was still oblivious to my DTs and went straight for an attack. I send one DT to his base and used the other to help fend off the attack. Due to his superior army size, I am dwindled down to nothing but a zealot, goon and a DT.

With a huge army advantage, he charges for my main nexus.
[image loading]


He takes it down and I managed to take out that splinter group with probes and my small army. By this time, my nat nexus is already up and he tries to go in to kill it but to no avail
[image loading]


While all that turmoil was happening, it would seem that I was doomed for defeat. But that wouldn't be so because we had forgotten about the DT that would become a hero today.
[image loading]


With almost all but 5 probes and his army killed, I lead with a huge advantage as still having a large majority of my probes and a nat nexus up and running with gas.

I muster up a small force and charge for his nat.
[image loading]


I try to charge up his ramp but retreat due to the presence of a reaver

In a desperate move, he sends in his shuttle with a reaver to try and pick off my probes at my nat.
[image loading]


I deflect it with 3 goons in my nat but also send in 2 goons to his retreat path in an attempt to pick it off.
[image loading]


I succeed!
[image loading]


With his reaver harass a total disaster, I charge in for the kill with the force that I had made. He only has a goon and a reaver at the ramp.
[image loading]

[image loading]


He tries to fend it off by dragging in his probes but realises that its hopeless and concedes.
[image loading]



So an end to another great episode of my adventures in ICCup. I plan on updating this series more and hopefully make it to C- this season!

How come you didn't just cancel your nexus and keep a DT on your ramp?

you could have summed this blog into 1 sentence without pictures:

"I used DT's and won!"
Firebathero is still the best!

Do you do builds like this often?

You say you're stuck hovering around 2.2k points, if most of your games are like this, that's why. You need to play strong standard builds and not rely on cheese unless you're practicing for a series or something.

No. I do standard builds most of the time. I just did this out of pure fun. Was really boring.

Blogging about standard games is no fun at all.

Rawr DTs, I've started PvP'ing again only to find out that there is no escape. As long as I have to play protoss, whether zvp, tvp, or pvp, I WILL fight against DT builds.

So you can make DT's; now you have all the skills neccesary to be a top level Protoss player. Good for you.

Jk, cool game.

The only solution is to play original sc.
No I'm never serious.

The battery definitely slowed you down more than helped you. DTs woulda been much faster without !_! He for sure had time to get obs, just fucked up. I wouldn't do that too often, especially on a ramp map. Much better on a flat map but gj anyways.

P is imba in PvP.

And I remember playing a game like this at D- rank lol... except I was the one that went 1 gate tech into dts when he went 2 gate. Had dts killing his base while I used probes to block my 1 goon from his zealots.
