So a few days ago, my laptop's motherboard burnt out and I was stuck without a good laptop. Fortunately, my brother just got a new laptop but it can't run sc2. So I said to myself, why not play some Brood War while my computer is down? I've never played multiplayer BW before so I had quite a bit of reading to do on strategies and whatnot. My first 5 games, I got crushed (well I had one game won but I had to go so I just a-moved and prayed lol)....However, game #6 would prove to be different. Opening up 1rax expo into 5fact against my Protoss opponent on Destination (I think that was it anyway), something felt different. I actually had no money, was getting upgrades, keeping map control with my siege tanks, denying DTs with my vessels, and stopping pushes with spider mine lines.
Then came the carriers
7 carriers and 4 arbiters destroyed all of my goliaths and my base...or so he thought. While I had had him contained, I literally took every single position on the map and began spamming factories everywhere (what can I say, my macro isn't too good past early/mid game  ). I whittled his forces down to 3 carriers, one at 7 health, but he was quickly discovering my factories and picking off single goliaths. Finally, it came to one final stand. I had 8 3-1 goliaths vs his 2 3-1-3 carriers. At the end of the day, I was victorious.
I can now die happy having won a game of BW

You denied DTs with Science Vessels in TvP in your 6th game on iccup? You're gosu man! :D
Seriously, the feeling of winning in Brood War matches, especially on ICCUP, is the one thing I still miss when playing SC2 (maybe because I win so much trolololo). Congratz and keep playing, getting decent in BW will help you so much, especially with mechanics, when you switch back to SC2!

It must feel so satisfying :D
Man, that game gets your blood pumping and is so exciting to play 
Congrtaz yo!
|
Well I denied DTs by having good Vessel placement, if that wording makes anymore sense
|
Gah, this makes me want to go buy Brood War. Never played online either, but I've been really wanting to.

Heartwarming testimonial!

I was looking through my old external hard drive and there was a sc rep pack backup folder and one of the reps was titled "First iccup win!" It was dated like April 2007 or something lol.

I'm so jealous u___u

Congrats! Iccup is pretty crazy nowadays, winning your 6th game is pretty nice a feat, keep it up!

Dude. Duuuude. + Show Spoiler + You're missing out. What's keeping you? You can just download a client from iccup, and get playing within 20 minutes. look for d-/cpu level games, and you might find a win pretty soon.

What an accomplishment. I think it took me 10-15 games to win one on ICCUP. I still (D+ / C- now) lose almost every game I try 1 Rax expo so major props for executing it well!

Man, I miss BW so much. It actually took effort to win a game

You can just download a client and play? Wha??? I don't own Brood War, or SC1 for that matter.
