Awesome battle report! Loved the screens and captions :D
The Gateway mass and the huge blue-goo splatter screenies were epic.

Definitely congrats on getting C- , if I can get there this season I'll maybe do something similar inspired by you :D

The amount of base disparity between you and your opponent was insane :D Well written, was fun to read; I love long BW battle reports filled with details.

How did you get away with nex first against 2 gate?

C- level.

Also, 2 gate isn't cheesy? It's a viable strategy and 9 scout isn't cheesy either....

lol yeah I agree. 2gate is a standard opening, and if you are going 2gate, why WOULDNT you scout early? Whats the point of 2 gate zealots if you dont scout where to rally? rofl.....also...the cannon rush isnt cheese either. You went nexus first, so obviously he was trying to punish you for it. Not cheese you....

nex first is actually pretty cheesy in pvp

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?

yeah you can get zealots out of them

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

yeah the game was more my inability to finish him off than it being close

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

yeah that happens alot. being in australia and streaming means my ping is massive, making games with people in europe tough

How did you get away with nex first against 2 gate?

Because i 2 gate after my nexus. if they 2 gate they basically get 1 zealot ahead, but the time that zealot takes to get to my base my zealot builds, so it evens out, while i have a nexus and they dont ^_^

i was just trying to be biased ^_^

haha nope i just suck that much. Mostly a combination of being maxed with alot of bases meant my money was out of control

I also like to 12nex 12 gate 12 gate pvp, especially on fs. I think it soft counters 10/12 gate with minimal micro. As long as you're trading zeals equally and are able to scout whether he is expoing, teching, or massing, you know what to do. But if he doesn't 2gate I agree you toss a coin for dt or reaver.

they're both fairly blockable, as long as you cannon up your nat, and have some goons to catch shuttles and maybe 1 cannon in your main mineral line you're ok
