EPT
So I've been lurking around the Blog section of tl.net forever now. I've been wanting to put a post here for a long time now, but... well I couldn't figure out how to do it at first and then I didn't know what to put!
Either way, since then I've been thinking about what my first Blog should be about and I've chosen to write about a dream I had. (Isn't that what Blog's are for eh?)
So, why a dream you say? Because it had sc2 strategy and tactics in it. I've dreamed of sc2 before, but never had new ideas revealed to me in a dream. So on to explaining this dream and what I'm talking about!!
In this dream I seemed to be in a three dimensional map. I believe the map in my head was loosely based on Jungle basin and I had a 3D perspective of the map and then units. Basically if I looked left I could see left and I could walk forward (walking towards my opponent). And of course instead of walking, this is a dream after all, I kind of floated forward if I wanted to go that way. While floating around I knew in my head that I was controlling and building units back at my side of the map. I knew I had plenty of zerglings in my army and I was looking forward to engaging the protoss, with an army.
As I looked closer at my opponent at first I had no idea who it was. I then realized that he was a Terran player and he seemed to have good macro. He had went plenty of thors, blue flame hellions and tanks. At this point I thought of myself as screwed having only zerglings, but decided to go roach and then I had a brilliant plan!!!
What was this plan? Well my friends it was a brilliant one. So after macro'ing, still in my head mind you, I managed to take my nearly 200/200 army against his 180/200 army or so. I was staying constantly out of range of his massed tanks and here was my strategy: When I would get close to his tanks and before I'd run in to attack with my zerglings and my roaches I'd..... Well any ideas? I would reach into my pocket because you know I was in fact on the battle field and I had coins in my pocket so I would just stay out of range and throw all of my coins from my pocket onto the enemy tanks and since they were enemy coins the tanks would shoot them and start injuring their own tanks!!
I proceeded to do this in my dream. However my dream works on a SC2 engine and in fact said sorry Sheth your stupid those are coins not units we won't attack them! I was amazed at my stupidity for throwing coins at Siege Tanks and so I did the only honorable thing I gg'ed mentally and left my dream.
So, why would I bring this up? I don't know. It did however give me a few ideas I want to try, (dropping zerglings onto tanks more, using a nydus worm building to build near a tank and see if the other tanks will damage the tanks by the nydus. Other ideas I had just involving whenever I see someone going pure mech to just dropship roaches onto their huge tank line. Even more ludicris I had the idea of some sort of 6 overseers into roach timing attack against a 3 factory build. (Constantly infesting; dunno if thats the word; their factories at the start and then pushing early) I also had the idea that versus tanks it would be easy to get a Nydus worm up in a terran's base. Also it would be easy to use overseer's spawn changeling ability to block a mech'ing terran's ramp with those said changelings. After I blocked his ramp maybe then I'd nydus? These are all ideas that I really want to try and I got them all from that dream.
I hope by posting this blog others will see a few of these ideas and say hey those aren't too bad! Maybe Sheth isn't a complete retard for talking about his dream! Either way, I hope you havn't absolutely hated reading this and said PFT to much text I QUIT. Thats it; The End, Cyu dood!
