Terran vs. Terran is a match of positional warfare; of tanks trying to gain the upper hand in terms of map control. An alternative to this, or an accompanying tactic, is drop play. Today, on Backwater Gulch, one player set out to drop his opponent into submission. The other had no idea what fate had in store for him...

SO IT BEGINS.

Our hero, scipio, spawns at the 2:30 position on BG.

So manner.


The villian, holding the title for most uncreative name in the history of StarCraft, trevor, spawns at the 10:30 position.

Jaedong was a close second.


The game starts as normal, with both players going for the tried and true depot-rax combination.

It's pretty difficult to start out any other way these days.


Though this may seem similar, the strategical genius of trevor soon became known as he built a second barracks, got a tech lab on his first, and started stim, blindly countering the fast expand done by scipio.

trevor gets the metagame.


trevor follows up this surge of strong ground units by teching to starport.

Yes, banshee harass, makes sense, but a little bit convoluted in terms of the efficency of your build...

[image loading]
Oh.


scipio, however, notices the lack of an expansion, and begins to ponder what, possibly, his terran opponent may have in store for him this evening.

One base! Curses!

How to win at diamond league: 1. Blind counter banshees. 2. Acquire ladder points.


Trevor, using the aformentioned starport reactor combo, produces two medivacs, which seem to be destined for one purpose, and one purpose only: death from the skies.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
They may do no damage, but be forewarned, they are fearsome units.

[image loading]
The well-defended natural expansion. Notice the lack of siege. So pro.


The 8 minute doom drop commences. Only Fate herself knew what the outcome would be...

A journey of a thousad miles begins with a single step...

Trouble?

Perhaps you might be interested in the location of the "d" key, sir...

[image loading]
Only 16 hit points left, but still alive!

[image loading]
Oh.

[image loading]
RIP.


And just as fast as it had begun, it was ended. So beware, terrans, of the perils of dropship play... or at least micro them ffs.

Replay.

Overreaction much? This is almost the one year anniversary of the only other one I did. XD
