So in this most recent ladder season of the world famous iCCup server I made the milestone of C- for the first time with a winloss of 36-27 and 3045 points which I THINK is pretty OK.

This blog comes far too long after my D+ blog (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=168798) but I am still very pleased none the less.

In celebration I am going to do a battlereport of myself vs a D+/C- player I played (not as my last game before C- but one just before that as the last game was a horrific roflstomp...) on the map HeartBreak Ridge, one of the times maps of the week.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Myself in the Powerful Purple Protoss, 9 o'clock spawn

[image loading]
1am0.kz in the Rubbishey Red (p)Rotoss, 3 o'clock spawn

[image loading]
He starts with a pretty standard opening

[image loading]
Taking a leaf out of some famous streamers books I 12 nex (please note 12 nexing may or may not be 'Pretty Good')

[image loading]
My probe kills his scout, sadly not before He sees the 12 Nex.

[image loading]
His first zealot reaches my base, where he is halted by my zealot, we back and forth for a bit untill...

[image loading]
I have overwhelming zealot numbers and he is forced back

[image loading]
I push them to his base to scout and to kill any probes I can, his forces aren't able to stop mine

[image loading]
I get into the main and kill some probes as well as scout the Robo and support bay (not pictured)

[image loading]
Meanwhile, like a good little 12 nex'er, I cannon up

[image loading]
He tries to reaver harass but my gosu starsense forces it to back away

[image loading]
He pushes the front with the reaver. I try to snipe it but, my range is a LITTLE late.

[image loading]
The reaver lives!

[image loading]
That dead goon of mine does manage to kill the reaver, fotunately.

[image loading]
His Natural is still warping in as we speak

[image loading]
He attacks the front again but I have range this time

[image loading]
POW!

[image loading]
He takes a third. Of note, until watching the replay to do this report, I had no idea of that bases existence. How embarrassing.

[image loading]
I set up for a gosu attack for when +1 finishes...

[image loading]
And then attack before it does. Oh well...

[image loading]
His reaver is scarabless, so I kill it. Poor guy.

[image loading]
Things die, and I have the advantage oh more goons.

[image loading]
Instead of attacking his nat I go on a wild goose chase after these goons eventually trapping and killing them.

[image loading]
Eventually i attack his Natural. He doesn't have much.

[image loading]
Wait what? A stargate?

[image loading]
His nat dies so I prepare to assault his main, I'm also taking my third.

[image loading]
His Force stands awaiting the assault.

[image loading]
And as it is slaughtered he leaves without a GG!


So after all that, I'm C- and I hope you enjoy my blog!

nice report, always good to see people still playing BW these days

i was like "what, a stargate?" as well, did he actually use it at all? hitting stasis on shuttled reaver would be the funniest thing

He apparently found the only protoss who doesn't proxy gate/forge block etc on that map PvP too.

congrats on getting that C-, now get that + sign

lol wondering if he was going to recall into your main to bypass your goons/cannon nat defense. Fun battle BR.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

He'd rather play as a scouted 12nex than have to 12/12gate. If he gets scouted he's behind no matter what.

I hate to be the one to address the Elephant in the room, but a 3000 C- where you mostly play against D players is not quite C-. Not to mention the suspiciously low number of PvZs.

He didn't even do 2 Nexus properly. He got 2 Gateways after which defeats the entire purpose of a 12 Nexus.

I will be the first to admitt I'm not actualy C- level, probably not close, at best mid to high D+(sometimtes) who can take games ish at C-(occassionally). I was actualy just hosting and playing whoever joined my games and joining whatever games i could myself. Despite this im still happy i managed C-, for a guyy who got D+ with a - winloss before, its progress.

As for the PvZs I mostly dont like it and partly kinda suck at it. If i could only play PvT I would, but thats cause its z mode and im far worse than I should be. PvT should be 100% winloss. Although... my claim to fame is having taken 1 game off a B- Terran once in clanleague. Totaly counts.

EDIT: @ tryummm ... what. Thats standard PvP 12 nex.

You don't seems to understand, if he gets lucky, he can put nexus down, because normal non retarded player will just place pylon in nat.
