With the advent of the new season, the ICCup adventures have been treacherous at times.
Many yellow ranks and aboves have not yet laddered enough to reach their true rank, so it's quite easy to run into them in D games.
Nonetheless, there is still fun in the D world.
And playing this particular game really brought me memories of that classic FlaSh vs. Calm in 2009 EVER OSL on Fighting Spirit.
I hope you enjoy it. (it's long)
+ Show Spoiler +

So I spawn as brown terran (my least fav color) on 7.
[image loading]

I wanted to have some fun this game, so I decided to 13cc instead of 1 rax fe to spice things up.
[image loading]

Unfortunately, his scouting drone arrived relatively early, and he decided to annoy me as much as he can.
[image loading]

I wasn't in any mood to lose an scv to a gosu micro drone, so I bring 2 scvs to make sure that the threat is gone for good.
[image loading]

Meanwhile, my scouting scv finds him going 12 hatch on cross position.
[image loading]
good. no dying to 9 pool speed or 4 pool

He sends a 2nd drone to see what I'm up to, but I close the door on his face.
[image loading]

When I scan his base, I find out hes going standard 3 hatch muta.
[image loading]

His mutas arrive and try to find an opening, but I calmly defend
[image loading]
and tech
[image loading]

And as expected, I see he has taken his 3rd while this ordeal was going on.
[image loading]

I've ran marines through ramp lurkers before, so this time, I decided to do something different.
[image loading]
I heard 7 mariners and 1 medic is pretty good.

But unfortunately, his mutas and lurkers (and sunken) were too much for me.
I only killed few drones and an extractor.
[image loading]

No big deal, I proceed to move out when I have a decent size group of mariners and medics.
[image loading]
All while taking my 3rd.
[image loading]

But bad news. I scan his base, and he has defilers ready.
[image loading]

So I instead decide to take a sneak 4th
[image loading]

When hes ready, he draws the sword.
[image loading]
Lurkers with dark swarm, terran's nightmare.

But I have vessels to snipe his defilers.
[image loading]
you can run but you can't hide

Without defiler support, he is forced to retreat.
[image loading]

I then roam around the map to clear some stray maverick ling forces to secure my 4th.
[image loading]

Once my 4th is up, I prepare to gear it up for late game
[image loading]

Meanwhile, my patrol forces sight the first group of cows.
[image loading]
[image loading]
Cows under dark swarm, ultimate weapon of zerg.

The calm before the storm ensues for short period of time, but not for long. His original mutas find an opening and raid my 4th.
[image loading]

My mispositioned mariners hurry their way back to defend.
[image loading]

But that was nothing more than a diversion. His real intention was a frontal assault.
[image loading]

I clean up the muta raid, but his attack has begun.
[image loading]
[image loading]
I do my best to keep the cows green gassed.
But thats a crap ton of lurkers.
[image loading]
[image loading]
swarm over lurkers = dislike

Now this is terran's real nightmare
[image loading]

I am forced to lift my cc and lose who knows how many scvs. not much I hope.
[image loading]

Sensing blood, he brute forces his way up my throat (the ramp).
[image loading]

There is no breathing room here. As soon as the cows are mopped off, his lings streams in.
[image loading]
and more cows (but at least I green gassed them all)
[image loading]

With the skin of my teeth, I manage to defend for now.
[image loading]

By this time, he has some bad beef with my vessels, for he knows it was them who weakened his cows.
[image loading]
Run vessels Run
All but 1 die
[image loading]

Having killed my vessels, he knows the moment is now and sends his new wave of cowlings.
[image loading]
My front line mariners do not stand a chance...
[image loading]
But this time, I am more than ready to meet him.
[image loading]
His forces are cleaned up with relative ease.
[image loading]

I muster every vessels and roam the center, looking for things to green gas. But it's a dangerous world out there.
[image loading]

I find his rally point, and it has some delicious looking defilers.
[image loading]
I do my best to green gas them and get the fuck out before flying sharks come in
[image loading]
and indeed they came
[image loading]

I am now forced to use scan and flying buildings to scout. And scout it did...
[image loading]
holy cow...

Following my instinct, I try to green gas them, but not without sacrifice.
[image loading]

Turns out, he had a different agenda this time.
DROPS
[image loading]
Operation Overlord
But green gas and stimmed 3/3 mariners are pretty good against overlords.
[image loading]
[image loading]
Of 12 overlord worth of cows, lings, lurkers, defilers, only 2 cows and 1 defiler managed to touch the ground. All three of them got instaPOPPED.
[image loading]

Meanwhile, on my other base....
[image loading]
life is good

12 overlords worth of units killed for minimum casualty. Now I decided to go out and claim some land, but he still has respectable lings that do well against medicless mariners
[image loading]

I fail to move out of the bridge, but I reposition my tanks so that he can't enter either.
[image loading]

After some heavy casualties of countless cows, defilers, lurkers and heavy scourge usage, my opponent realizes that he can no longer afford these expensive commodities, for he is no longer Saudi Arabia.
He decides to take every expansions left on the map.
[image loading]
[image loading]
[image loading]
he wishes he could say taking middle is a bm and not necessity.

Still, with overlord drops being a fiasco, he decides its better to approach this instictively, but with technique.
[image loading]
[image loading]

I on the other hand cannot allow him to have 9 oclock and middle, so finally I decide to partition this panzer division
[image loading]
and deny him 9 oclock
[image loading]

At the same time, with the help of dark swarm, he is making some progress brute forcing his way into my defense.
[image loading]
However, this is a battle between immovable object and very stoppable force.
[image loading]

His army to the right has been demolished, he had nothing to defend 9 oclock.
[image loading]
[image loading]
thou shall not let him have 9 oclock -FlaSh

Out of desperation or whatever, he continued his illfated attack to my 5 oclock.
[image loading]

But the tide has turned, and now, my vessels can roam free.
[image loading]

I doubt he has a standing army now, and all I need to worry about is some stray maverick forces.
[image loading]

I got so tired of losing vessels to scourge, I built some valkyries. YEAH
[image loading]

And my assault on his middle begins. I could tell he was extremely gas hungry by this point.
[image loading]

Green gas is still as useful as ever in weakening those cows.
[image loading]

With few tank support, my mariners deny him the middle expansion.
[image loading]

Out of gas, out of momemtum, out of strength, my opponent knows his fate and leaves without gg.
[image loading]
they say I like to blog ggless games

Wow that's an awesome game and definitely feels like higher than D level ^^

Scourges - "flying sharks" - that's the most accurate description I've ever heard.

Yay for BW BRs! Nice game, definitely reminded me of that Flash vs Calm game, you even had the same map position! I was also glad to see you sneaked in some higher resolution screenshots, I'm always a sucker for those. (too bad they were always of peaceful still-lifes, and not something more interesting)

I wasn't aware that people called irradiates green gas, but you seemed so comfortable using it, maybe I'll pick it up subconsciously.

That looked like an obscenly high tank count, plus you had marines and vessels, did you by chance only have like 40 food in SCVs? Nice BR! Flying sharks, green gas, and crazy cows, what kind of world do we live in...

Watching your make that nat wall inspired me to play around single player experimenting with simcity lol. Realized there are a lot of things still left open for me to play around with.
