EPTI am still so freaking pumped by this game. I needed to blog this to record it in history and to give a brief report that I neglected to post in the SC2 Replay thread.
It is as follows:
+ Show Spoiler +
ZvP on Lost Temple
I open up with an overpool like build and focus my production on roaches since they are a great counter to zealots. I build a decent army, defend a bit, try to attack and harass with roach burrow and movement, and our armies exchange a few blows. He then counters with void rays to which I retreat and tech.
I tech and build a couple hydra and push off a void ray attack and decide to break his natural. I start pushing his nat suffering a few losses from cannons, and he counters with void rays at my base, and its a race of annihilation. I try to build hatcheries and extractors all over the map while trying to destroy his base as fast as possible. His cannons give me trouble and I end up losing all 3 of my hatcheries and half my army, leaving a 4 roaches and 5 hydras which die to void rays.
I burrow my roaches and look for his last building, which is a pylon buried in another main, surrounded by probes and two void rays patrolling. I pop my roaches up and attempt to give the killing blow to the pylon until I'm forced to burrow again before they die...and that's when I realized
MY ROACHES HEAL WHILE BURROWED
I proceed to just pop up my roaches and attack the pylon and burrowing again so they heal. I eventually pick it off in the nick of time, winning the game.

To whoever I played this game against, GFG. I commend your void ray tactics as well. Was too close.
