Awesome FUCK YEAH! moment! :D

Stupid reaver T_T

Yay, I finally hit 2000 posts! I thought I would share some goodness of sorts to commemorate my 1/5'thness of the way to carrierhood.

I have a double battle report, two games that I am fairly proud of (well, one not so much) that I think show a pretty decent progression in my PvZ skillzzzz (no arbitersssssss, unfortunately). Anyways, two games coming from the D level:

PurgeXenos (P) vs f3n1x22 (Z)


Game 1

[image loading]
PurgeXenos warps in as the Purple Protoss in top right
[image loading]
f3n1x22 spawns as the Yellow Zerg in bottom left

+ Show Spoiler [Rest of Game] +

[image loading]
There's a reason I'm not in Urban Planning lol :/
[image loading]
gettin your third running is a good skill toi have xD

[image loading]
clumping your overlords together...
[image loading]
... is a good skill toi have lol

At this point I am way ahead (I know after watching the replay), but played way way to passively and forgot to take a fourth

[image loading]
God I love storming Hydra, everything about it is just so enjoyable! :D
[image loading]
How to lose a full control group of zealots lol

After this the game was fully in Zerg's favour, after losing both my fourth and fifth to cows

[image loading]
Last resistance
[image loading]
I tap out, the map was pretty much mined out- I thought it was an intense game, but after watching the rep I realized how many mistakes I made. I was way way ahead in supply in the mid game, but was never bold enough to move out. At basically any time I could have eliminated 9 O'clock, oh well. Better luck next time right?

Which leads to...

Game 2

What luck, I meet the same guy a day later. A day filled with watching pro PvZ's and for some reason hitting pretty much only Zergs on the ladder. So the countdown finishes, the crystal screen flashes, and the game begins...

... with Zerg in top right,

and yours truly in bottom left

Slightly better wall in this time lol

Game doesn't start too well, losing my first two corsairs T_T
[image loading]
100% of Artosis' agree that this is the most balanced unit :D

So I wasn't feeling the greatest after losing both corsairs, however I got a few kills with the DT and shut down his fourth for a while. All in all, things were looking pretty good.

Ninja Zealot task force, taking out Zerg's fourth :D

Hive up, Defiler Mound starting -_-;

[image loading]
I still don't know why the hell I expanded there lol, whatevs- my fourth is up!
[image loading]
Greater Spire, oh really now :/
[image loading]
Taking care of some unfinished business, killing off some pesky vermin.
[image loading]
Oh, shit...

I guess it was kinda fortuitous that I expanded there, because it gave me plenty of warning to prepare my forces.
[image loading]
Guardians still manage to ravage my third, while I'm out taking out his third. I feel pretty confident about this, because I think I have a significant unit advantage.
[image loading]
19 Kill Guardian T_T
[image loading]
I decide to go for the throat, attacking his main after cleaning up the Guardians. After killing (read: mass storming) a Hydra/Ling force attacking my main he taps out.

Boom, fist pump!! gg baby

I felt good after this win, because I fixed a few problems with my PvZ- namely being way to passive. Looking through the second game though, I know I still have lots of room for improvement


With that all said and done I'm gonna move on to some shoutouts!
  • To Blizzard, for making Broodwar
  • To the TL.net staff, for maintaining such an awesome website
  • To anyone who has edited Liquipedia, especially the Protoss strategy section! I can't thank you guys enough :D
  • To Ver, for writing the awesome guide on how to improve
  • To any pro whose replay or game I have watched, and used to improve. Namely: JangBi, Kal, Bisu, Stork, iNfeRnaL, and IefNaij.
  • To Day[9] for helping me improve with an awesome show!
  • To Day[9] (once again), Chill, djWHEAT, Tasteless, and Artosis for making SC2 interesting.
  • To the State of the Game crew, for once again making SC2 interesting, and providing solid entertainment and insight every week.
  • To any streamers who stream BW, especially NrG.God, Grobyc, Xsebt, and all the other regular SPL/OSL/MSL guys (sorry I forgot your names xD).
  • To Hwaseung Oz, for being the most bad ass team (even though they're doing terrible lol ). I set up a Facebook page (I will work on continually updating it, and providing announcements) that I think everyone should follow, show some support through these dark times! :D

  • Edit: Forgot a very important shoutout to the folks at iCCup: Thank you so much for running an awesome ladder! What would we do without you guys?


That's all that's on the top of my head folks. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas season, and have a wonderful New Year!

It's been a great ride so far!

Indeed, it's nice to know that things you are practicing actually make a difference. It's really hard to stress how important watching your own replays is, so you can figure out what mistakes you are making.
