Synopsis of what happens
Zerg opens 15 hatch 14 pool 14 gas whereas I open 14 gateway (because I hugely fuck up my opening and get distracted, as well as get my probe sniped.)
As I get a natural expansion up at around the 6 minute 45 second mark, I suddenly decide to slam down two more Gateways, a Twilight Council and a Forge to research Level 1 Ground Weapons, then I get a Zealot to see if he has a third base, and build a Dark Shrine to either snipe this third or prevent it from going down. At the same time, I build a forward pylon near his third's ramp which he doesn't scout.
Unfortunately, he gets several changelings into my base via a sneakily placed Overseer, I snipe one obvious one but the other two are in my base and spot the Dark Shrine.
Seconds later, my proxy pylon finishes and I warp in 5 DTs. however, I don't capitalise on this as much as I should have. This would have been the perfect time to lay down a third without any hassle. Instead, I focus too much on DT micro, and snipe his third, two queens, a fuckload of drones and his Infestation Pit before he cleans out my DTs. Then I abandon DTs entirely when in reality, I could have perhaps waped in two or three more and placed them near potential fourth or fifth bases.
My third went down at 16 minutes. Fucking destructible rocks. T_T
First engagement leads to a very close victory for him. He won because I only had 1 - 1 and he had 2 - 2 to melee attacks and armor, and because of my positioning where my Chargelots were behind the 6 Archons I had, couldn't attack, and furthermore, my HTs couldn't really get many good Feedbacks off as they were really far away from the
I expand twice at the 24 min mark realising I am maxed, I have replenished my army. I NEED MORE PRODUCTION
Second engagement. He rapes me. He's at 3 - 3, he has a huge lingfestor ball and 6 Brood Lords. GOOD, LUCK, WITH, THAT. I am on 2 - 1 however.
As soon as I see the Brood Lords, I shit myself. I frantically rush for Blink and produce a load of stalkers but the good lesson is.... NEVER MAKE JUST BLINK STALKERS AGAINST LINGFESTOR BROOD LORD.
He pushes my natural, I "gg."
My mistakes.
1) Fucked up my opening quite considerably, and the wall-off of my main.
2) Didn't expand when I harassed with DTs.
3) Didn't snipe his overlord.
4) Macroed terribly during pushes and even shortly after.
5) HORRIBLE positioning and Templar micro. Almost shameful even.
