After an awesome weekend of SC2 watching @ MLG and IEM, I went online to the ladder, expecting the worst. It's how it almost always happens, I think - people watch SC2, get excited, go online to try to do what they saw. What I was not expecting was to run into a few people who are either testing new builds or just playing for shits and giggles.
I get into a ZvT on Shakuras and start with a 15h/14p/14g. Standard, right? No problem. There's no harass so I float in an ovie and see that he's taken both gasses but it dies before I scout anything else. I put an evo + lair to get some spores while I put up a spire. As my lair finishes, I see three banshees coming in so I morph a seer and get a few spores down. I get some mutas to harass, but I see a few Thors and marines in his base.
No problem, right? Probably heavy mech with marines. I've been using a heavy ling/bling/ultra composition vs. Terran mech lately with some success so I take a third, drone up, get my ultralisk cavern up while upgrading to 3/3. In the meantime, I block his third and keep up contained on two base.
So, I roll up with 6 ultralisks, ling/bling with my mutas and I run into a ton of battlecruisers and marines, with 3 Thors. I clean up his ground forces and his natural but the battlecruisers clean up the rest of my forces before I could finish his base off. In the meantime, I start corrupter production. Sadly, some poor micro leads me to losing those and only taking out half those BCs. So, even though at this point, I'm on six base, I have no army, not enough gas and fighting a lot of BCs. 
I gg and can't even be mad at my opponent. I had bad scouting, bad micro, and just the shock of seeing mass battlecruisers... well. I've got no one to blame but me, right?
So, yeah. I just -- I find that I can't even get worked up about that because I see battlecruisers so rarely.

Do you have a replay? Sounds like a easy way to win.

Too bad blogs dont require replays.

Yeah next time just scout more dude. If you didn't know he was getting BC's, you were in the dark for WAY too long.
|
I run into this a lot in my TvZ's, where a zerg will get super fast hive (like 12 mins) and run me over with ultra's at 15 min.
Has made me be a lot more aggressive lately, lol

Sometimes i go proxy battlecruiser rush and it works hilariously well

How is this a funny build? He decided to destroy u with BCs by preventing u from scouting him.
and build(s) should have more than one build in the topic.

wait what?
you made lings and mutas, the most mobile units in the game.
then you didn't scout the bcs? wtf

Well, I was going to also write up the carrier matchup but 1) I got caught up at work and 2) who would believe such a story??
Yeah, I know my flaws in the match. I was just putting on a good 2-base contain and I figured "Who would go for air-terran on 2-base? No one. There's just not enough gas for that." But clearly, I was wrong. Next time, more sacced ovies!

This reminds me of the time I was in a ZvZ 30 drones ahead on my opponent after a fail speedling all-in. I don't killl him and gets ultras and broodlords off 3 bases. When there was a 5 minute window to completely roll over him. I hate myself =_=
