[BW]Sayle vs XsebT Battle Report!

XsebT lost the previous game in the series, so he picked PvT on Neo Medusa for this game. My TvP is pretty terrible, so I had to come up with a devious plan to defeat him (read: cheese).

I spawn as the blue terran in the top left, he spawns as the green protoss at the right.

Handsome nerd

What country is he from again?

I go for a standard wall-in while XsebT's probe gets lost around the temples.

Pro

Noob

Afraid of getting 10/15 gated, I throw down a preemptive bunker. But wait, what's that blue dot in the back of XsebT's base?

Prevention is the best cure

Blast! The plan has been revealed!

Is that a base in my base?

The factory barely finishes in time.

Whew...

XsebT has some tricks up his sleeve...

Like a wizard

With my devious plan revealed, I decide to cut my losses and run away.

Or do I?

Meanwhile at home, my base is on fire.

SCV's got a busy day ahead of him.

However, at XsebT's base I decided to heed Leonardo DiCaprio's wisdom and 'go deeper' with my factory.

When at first you don't succeed...

XsebT tries to be fancy again. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't realize that units pop out of the bottom left not the bottom right of buildings.

No, your other left

Unfazed by the factory in his base, XsebT harasses my front.

Boy am I glad I made that bunker...

Perhaps he should have been a little more fazed...

The first of many to come

XsebT decides to follow the teachings of Day[9] and "just go kill him"

ruh roh

Good thing Day[9] never made a daily about rally points.

Two probes wandering off together into the wild...I wonder what they could be doing...

Meanwhile, XsebT decides it's a good time to expand.

Expanding while attacking. Artosis would be proud.

A fierce battle commences at the Terran base!









I am victorious!

The terran losses were great, but the protoss overlooked the factory in his base!

At the top you can see a dragoon shooting a vulture shooting a probe shooting a vulture

XsebT decides that it's not the time to expand after all

By the transitive property, this means my vultures killed a nexus.

Unable to gain a solid advantage, I decide to make my vultures imbalanced.

Nukes in the ground

XsebT continues to pursue the "go kill him" style of warfare.

This doesn't look good...

Fortunately for me, SCVs hard counter dragoons.

Yes, that SCV has 2 dragoon kills.

The imbalance upgrade finishes, so I mine up XsebT's gateways.

Every protoss's nightmare

It's super effective!

Did I mention the mines are free?

XsebT keeps up the pressure at my front.

That vulture had a family

After the previous attack, however, I have learned an effective method for dealing with dragoons.

ATTAAAAAACK!!!!

Hey look, it's the three stooges

The geyser looked at them funny

I considered sending the scvs back to mine, but then I had a better idea.

Don't worry guys, somebody won GSL with this

In XsebT's main, the constant vulture production has taken its toll:

Is that probe couple still going at it?

XsebT manages to get an impressive 12 kill dragoon

On Aiur, he was constantly overshadowed by Tempest goon

Alas, even hero dragoon will not save you now

All your base...

XsebT makes an insightful remark on the state of the current metagame.

wtf indeed...
