Part 1

Part 4
Part 5
Part 6

First, I said that this will be the start of my placement matches. And, it is.. I did my first placement match, and it's time to blog it.

Before I start this, I did a replay pack from my practice league matches. It contains all the matches that are included in blog and more:

http://rapidshare.com/files/419906321/practice.rar

From now on, screenshots from my replays will be on my point of view only.

Part 7 - The Real Test #1

Overmind, talking to Lobo before his first real test:

Overmind: Now, young one. Your real test to become a cerebrate, begins. Are you ready to take it?
Lobo: Yes, master. I'll do everything to be your cerebrate.
Overmind: Alright, I like your enthusiasm. But, you need skill as well. Prepare yourself and first part of your test begins.
Lobo: Yes, master.

After that, Lobo went to his educator, Infrawhite:

Infrawhite: Well, young one. You'll become a cerebrate if you pass this test. I hope you're ready.
Lobo: I'm well prepared and ready to do my best, master.
Infrawhite: It's good to hear that. I want to see what you'll do.
Lobo: Yes, master.

After talking to Overmind and his master Infrawhite, Lobo went to take his test. His first test was against an executor.

And his real test started.

[image loading]

He carefully splitted his drones 2 by 2, and scouted his opponent's base.

[image loading]

Other than a Forge, his opponent had nothing near his nexus. Lobo thought that it was a forge-fast expand. So he went to scout his opponent's natural.

[image loading]

But his overlord was killed halfway.

[image loading]

Unlike his practices, Lobo this time prepared some defense, made more drones and less zerglings, and he did 2 spine crawlers.

[image loading]

He produced a few zerglings as well, but his trump card is his mutalisks, and his skill of eco bashing. He prepared some mutas as well, and went on to ecobash the executor.

[image loading]

He knew that Protoss had a lot near his natural.

[image loading]

But his nexus, was wide open.

[image loading]

Lobo chose backside and went right to the nexus and workers.

[image loading]

And he killed them all before Protoss forces arrived.

[image loading]

While his mutas were taking a chill near an Xel Naga Tower, Lobo was producing more units. But, one of his mutas spotted a Zealot near that Xel Naga Tower.

[image loading]

And his mutas killed that Zealot.

[image loading]

After that, his mutas went on to check the other Xel Naga Tower, known to be nearby.

[image loading]

Lobo expanded to another base at that time.

[image loading]

And he went to ecobash Protoss' Natural as well.

[image loading]

Protoss could not resist to being eco-bashed that hard, and surrendered:

[image loading]

So, that was 1-0 for Lobo in his real test.

Replay of the Game

After Overmind learned the result, he talked to Lobo immediately:

Overmind: Nicely done, young one. You're now 1 step closer to being a cerebrate.
Lobo: Thanks, master. I did my best there.
Overmind: You'll do much better, and become a cerebrate of mine. I believe.
Lobo: Yes, master. I'll do everything to become a cerebrate.

After that, he went to share his happiness with his educator, Infrawhite:

Infrawhite: Well done, young one. You're getting better and better every now and then. You're now much better than you first met me.
Lobo: Thanks master, I'll practice hard and become even better.
Infrawhite: Now, that's what I call a spirit. Why don't you go and have some fun before the 2nd part of your test?
Lobo: Yes, master.

While Lobo was celebrating with his friends, Overmind contacted to Infrawhite about Lobo:

Infrawhite: Master, you noticed that Lobo took down the executor.
Overmind: Yes, cerebrate. Of course. And I'm getting more and more impressed by his defensive and economy-based style. This is very rare among the Zerg.
Infrawhite: Yes, and he's on the way to become the best at it.
Overmind: But, still he has a very long way ahead of him.
Infrawhite: Yes, master.

Again, thank you everyone, who has been watching me eversince I've started this journey. It would be impossible without you.

Hahaha, I don't know if you played him or not, but he's my only rl friend who is 4 digit diamond (also a Zerg player).
