So the story is, I'm a C- terran trying to reach C in the near future. In this game I'm D+ ranked however and I make a game on Othello and a C- protoss joins! Since TvP is my "good" matchup (lurkers imba) I'm not too worried and wish him glhf and off we go! Be warned though, it's long

So the hero terran (me) is spawning at the 10 o'clock position..

..while the protoss is spawning at the 5 o'clock position.
I go for a siege expand while the toss is going one gate with a zealot first at the ramp, thinking I won't be able to scout him. But I have a ninja SCV was able to sneak it in anyway! And what do I see? ...

A robo bay!
Being scared of the RIBORIBORIBORIBORIBO(reaver) I throw down an ebay and put down like 6-7 turrets (!). Better safe than sorry right? Turns out he went for..

..observers.
I float my CC to my nat and put down an armory while the toss continues with taking his natural.

BUT WHAT IS THIS?!?

He then proceeds to take yet an other expand and since I'm bad at spending my minerals I add a factory and a CC to float it to my third when the time comes. So far so good. Until...

However, my turrets are imba vs shuttles and the harass is quickly repelled.

I bet that reaver is feeling pretty uncomfortable in that shuttle.
It's time to float my CC to my third! The protoss goes on and takes his fourth. Notice my high mineral count.

How to get rid of the minerals?
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/M6Lkc.jpg)
Factories, more factories!
Next the protoss tries to snipe my CC!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/u1vLo.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/uG9vo.jpg)
Oh yeah, look at that blue goo.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/EicsF.jpg)
Dat simcity
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/spSEp.jpg)
That is many factories yes?
Meanwhile toss takes his fifth expansion and decides it's time for an attack!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/SWv9g.jpg)

17 kill reaver, mostly vultures

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/tWVmq.jpg)
The reaver fires...
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/hs4Fs.jpg)
...and by the looks for this picture it scores bigtime.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/WeAGH.jpg)
And it scores again before it dies as a hero reaver with 30+ kills

Nothing more than a few pokes with vultures and dragoons picking off mines happens in the next few minutes. Next my +2 attack upgrade finishes and my +2 armour is close to finish as well so it's time for THE BIG PUSH.

Pushing out..
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/0NLPQ.jpg)
The big battle!

That's right little goon, run back home.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/pLRja.jpg)
C- macro, make more factories than fits the screen, still queue up.
The protoss takes the top right main as his sixth expand while I try to be manly like Oov and double expands.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/TC47j.jpg)
Planting mines like a boss!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/mtGEM.jpg)
Kill cannons like a boss!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/VWlnO.jpg)
Counter attack like a toss!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/LZVSN.jpg)
Pull back without leaving a few units to kill his now naked expansion like a boss!
My vultures defends his small counter attack and now I'm regrouping to attack his natural where all his units are and not his completely naked expand at the 7 o'clock main and his exposed mineral only outside said main. C- logic at it's finest.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/8WW8V.jpg)
His small army..
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/acdIy.jpg)
..vs my big army. There can only be one outcome and he pulls back even further, and tries to counter my third. Base trade!

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/EoQw7.jpg)
He can't kill my third, big win for me!
By the way, what happened with this CC?
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/j91Ey.jpg)
Ah there it is!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/zPXi3.jpg)
I take the mineral only again and push toward his top right expansion.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/nk9jb.jpg)
Tit(s) of pain, BW edition.
While I'm killing his top right expansion the toss decides it's time to take his "2nd natural" and to counterattack my mineral only at 9 o'clock.

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/WSsFS.jpg)
The "Terran Ball" (look at minimap).
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/ePyDe.jpg)
I defend the attack and expand at the top right natural and start to push down towards bottom left.
He counters my building expo and tries to defend his expand at the same time.

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/9FNMm.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/D1ij7.jpg)
He counter attacks my mineral only again but my vultures comes to the rescue!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/bRHMD.jpg)
And I also manage to save my fifth expansion!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/LD9MW.jpg)
I push down toward his main again and a new huge battle begins!

I'm getting a little cocky and thinks I can 1a2a3a4a5a my way to victory..
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Rdkjd.jpg)
Big mistake.
Oh, remember my top right expansion that I saved?
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/q7Yqb.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/F8R1C.jpg)
Me neither.
My queuing maco is impeccable and soon I have yet another army marching toward his bottom left expansions. Will they finally die this time?!

Blue goo <3
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/ik1RO.jpg)
Damn it Proberto!
In a last attempt to stay in the game he kills off my top right expansion at the cost of his remaining army.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/J5vdl.jpg)
And finally..
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/2ELQ3.jpg)
GG!
Why post this long battle report? 1) TL needs more bw. 2) Remember that I'm a C- terran? I checked this toss' iccup profile later and guess what?
