As a celebration of getting C- this season (i just got it at the end of last season) i've decided to do a battle report on the game that got me to C-.

This is my second battle report, you can find the first one here.

My opponent this game was a D+ korean (C- in previous seasons) called [oh]sexy. Actually just checking his profile he's C- now. So it was definetly an even matchup

The map was Fighting Spirit.

[image loading]
The matchup, PVP.

[image loading]
I started in the bottom left corner as the noble green protoss

[image loading]
My opponent started in the top right as the evil white protoss

[image loading]
I open nexus first a-la Frozen's pvp guide

[image loading]
My opponent started with a cheesy 2 gate (seriously who 2 gates AND 9 scouts OMG)

[image loading]
he see's my 12 nex and drops a forge

[image loading]
He then procedes to attempt to canon rush me while 2 gate rushing me, cheesy korean!

[image loading]
But i bring probes into the fight and drive him off!

[image loading]
Continuing to be a cheesy noob, my opponent hides an expo

[image loading]
I go to have a poke with my zealots, see no expo and retreat, fooled

[image loading]
expecting a reaver/dt drop i spread my goons nicely to snipe a shuttle that isn't coming

[image loading]
My opponent then takes his third before me, nullifying my economic advantage from my 12 nex

[image loading]
My first obs pops out and i go to attack

[image loading]
only to find my opponent has more stuff than i do

[image loading]
however my obs scouts his undefended third so i snipe it!

[image loading]
and double expand

[image loading]
Nalra would be proud of my feng-shui...ohwait

[image loading]
Templar drop wrecks the probes at my third

[image loading]
Surely that shuttle wont get away???!!!!

[image loading]
Hell no says my templar

[image loading]
He tries to sneak a base at the bottom right but i expand there and kill his attempted cannon wall before it can get up. I was going to make a "yo dawg" poster out of it, but the cannons and nexus were too far away from each other

[image loading]
Meanwhile he throws out a few pre-storms on my army containing him at his natural

[image loading]
[image loading]
[image loading]
[image loading]
STOORMMUUUU!!! i was victorious and drove the evil white protoss back to his side of the bridge!

[image loading]
but hot DAMN he likes those gateways

[image loading]
So i still have him contained, and figure i may as well take another 3 expos, why not!

[image loading]
a zealot counter attack kills one of my nexii!! but more importantly pulls my whole army out of position so he can move out

[image loading]
Archons on archons! sounds like a porn title, and who the hell knows whats going on, i sure dont D:

[image loading]
after many epic storms i manage to lose the battle Am i really going to lose this game even with such a lead??? Turns out i was a behind on the upgrades (3-0-0 vs 3-0-2)

[image loading]
luckily i kept my economy un-harmed and my best-style macro forced him out, even if i am blocking my goons in with a cannon

[image loading]
he comes back with a siginificant zealot/templar force, he's almost mined out at this point and has dropped an expo @ 12 (the only base i hadn't taken)

[image loading]
But i give him a taste of his own medicine and do a zealot counter while i deal with his attack force and make him cancel the nexus

[image loading]
Another battle! he's getting desperate now, nice storm tho

[image loading]
Storms going CRAZY, blue goo EVERYWHERE

[image loading]
My dt goes up to his observerless army to say hi

[image loading]
My face stomping squad goes up to take out his 12 oclock before it can get going again

[image loading]
The final battle!

[image loading]
GG!

And so i overcame the C- korean to take my C- ranking! Huzzah!

Thanks for reading

I love stories like this, and you did it well. Just enough pictures to give an accurate sense of the state of the match, while not flooding me with images. The captions were also quite funny / informative. Blue goo, Psi Storms, and Archon-on-Archon action, hehe.

Congratulations on your victory! You'd better not lose to any 4-poolers and get dropped back down, though. =(

Nice one. It was nice to always have the minimap there, just in case you decide to cut a bit too much next time. ^^

yeah i'd leave it there for most, but like, with the multiple battle screenshots i might edit them together just to get all the storms. I felt like jangbi after that first huge battle ^_^

Awesome game to hit C- with.

But in his gateway count picture, it looks like 4 of those gateways don't have exits!

edit: Oh I guess he can build zealots from those gates and goons from the other ones?

Looking at the minimap in the last couple pictures it looks like an easy game for you.

Looking at all of the pictures though, looked like aa realllly fun game to play. I love these

GJ on C-, especially this season.

Well Done, Grats on C-!

You should really come back to SC2 though... the SEA server completely lacks a terran with potential atm...

BW battle reports are a rare treat nowadays, thanks a lot, and congrats on C-!
Interesting game too, unpunished nexus first builds in pvp can be very annoying to play against.
(oh and epic gateway simcity by your opponent there )

BTW we ran into each other on the ladder last week, but I ended up leaving because of the lag

How did you get away with nex first against 2 gate?
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
