This actually happened yesterday. I lost the first game and didn't think I would win the second game but still offered a rematch because I wanted the practice against better players.
Started off cross positions. I saw he wasn't going to siege expo because 1 scv on gas so I thought I would go for reavers because I found that works really well against FD and on Fighting Spirit too. Turns out he did a 2 fac. I barely held it off with a second reaver because it didn't look like he was gonna do an FD when I saw him push out because he had like 3 rines and a tank. When my shuttle got to his base, well I saw he had 2 facs. I was like "oh" and said my prayers as I prepared for the devastating rape that would occur.
Luckily he had nothing at his base, so I could harass. I didn't know if I should hit the scvs, or the tanks(when they came out). I didn't get a lot of good shots off, but I delivered some damage. Mind you guys he was a 330 apm spammer so his reaction time was very good. I think I got like 6 scvs. Back at the homefront, I thought I was dead because the tanks would march up and deestroy my reaver, but that never happened. Apperaently he had enough and slumped back into his base.
From there....well just watch the game in fpvods below. I don't know if you notice, but my mouse was all shaky and I was very nervous as I pummeled his army with my eBalls of Toss. Also sorry about the song on repeat, I honestly expected to lose this game and thought I would get a good experience in. Now when the day is over, and im done wetting my pants and jumping up and down, I have an fpvod to post in the blogs section bragging about my accomplishments instead of asking for help in the strategy section.
/me pelvic thrust
If I was firebathero, I would have a badass dance for this. I have good feelings this season. Maybe I'll finally make it to B- :D
Dude if you had just paid attention at 6:52 or 7:00 (of the first video) when you decided to look back at your base, you could've gotten so many more SCVs.

oh wow you're right. I thought I targeted the scvs though before I looked back or thought the reaver would auto attack the scvs
Edit: watched it carefully being uncompressed and I did target the middle of the clump of scvs lol.
Well I'm glad you're happy, but don't overrate yourself. I mean, I've beaten several B+/A- players in standard games but my max rank is B-, one game here and there doesn't really count for much.

Comn dude. Give the man his props. As a D+/C- player, I beat a 19-1 C- korean PvZ(1gate tech ftw) though he disc'ed. Still, great feeling to have.

I'm not trying to downplay his achievement or insult him, just giving some advice to stop him getting over-confidence and/or disappointed later.
Very good game - some really pimp stasisesstasesestasii stasis use (lol at the stasis on his entire SV cloud, he must have banged his head against the keyboard right then).

Ya I think that really helped me win the game. I have been working on seperating my arbiters and getting good stasis off
