[BW BR] Adventures in D Level, Episode 2

I spawn in my favourite colour, orange, so I know I’m sitting at an advantage right from the start.

I’m pretty sure getting your favourite colour makes you mine 20% faster so I’m feeling pretty good.

I luck out and spot him ASAP with my overlord. He comes out to greet me, I assume because he wanted to make sure my flight went okay.

I say hi but he ignores me. Damn kimchiman. + Show Spoiler +

I (shockingly) go with a 9 pool speed again, hoping to apply early pressure.

A screen you will get very accustomed to seeing if you follow these battle reports. ^^

I’ve already been scouted so I figure he’s going to be pretty well defended but I rush over there anyway.

I consider getting the completely free and easy kill on that scv but my “D Level” genes don’t allow me to.

I see that he did end up building at the bottom of the ramp despite seeing exactly what I was doing really early on. Still it looks like he’s going to get that bunker done before I can get there.

Drone: “Hey he’s got a bunker but with just one marine in it I think you can kill it straight up”


Lings: “Drone stfu lol, we are D-lings!”

So the lings get in and kill the one marine. They start working on the barracks for some reason. But wait, what is that on the minimap?

No its not Jabba the Hut

Now back when I used to play SC1, I was actually a pretty standard, straight-up terran player. Still though, I went through a little phase where I cheesed a lot, and the hatchery rush was one of them. At the time, however, I would basically 12 hatch in their main and pray. Now, in my older and wiser state, I try to force it to work by using a different stupid cheese to transition into that stupid cheese.


The SCVs come off the line and I trap my own lings beside his barracks, guaranteeing their deaths decide to sacrifice the lings to make sure he’s too distracted to find my hatchery.

I lost all 6 lings but its totally fine because I totally got 2 scv kills. Thats whats up.

I’m hoping that the scvs can’t go back to mining until they mop up the zergling blood (no limbs though, mysteriously).

The nice thing about losing all my lings was that he now feels perfectly safe. If we take his vision for a second, he looks (and probably feels) completely stabilized.

“Nope, there cant possibly be anything scary in that one tiny spot in my main shrouded in darkness.”

Meanwhile, at that same moment, this is my own vision. My obviously super-powerful 6 ling army.

Fortunately, zerglings are actually legitimate units in this game.

I run my lings past the bunker towards the back of the natural. I’m hoping to make him commit more to defending the front and hopefully distract him while my hatchery finishes.

“HEY HEY LOOK AT ME, OVER HERE!” - Rodeo Lings

Finally my hatchery finishes and I can start sunken production.

This is what I felt like at this moment: Clicky

My first sunken is morphing and he comes after it with 3 scvs and 3 marines.

What I imagine he looked like at this moment:
Clicky

By this point I’ve built up a fair number of lings outside his front so I go in for the attack on the front.

“Hey, where did you all go? Guys?” - the saddest marine on the planet.

Now I have a bunch of lings in his main, a handful more coming from my own main, and a sunken about to complete.

SC2 marines woulda figured out a way to deal with this. + Show Spoiler +

Finally, out of fighting units and with a sunken working on his unfinished academy, he types out leaves the game.

The only thing I hate about sc1 is the lack of the /dance command.
