I'm UnmortaI. 1st blog post on TL. I'm a Master's Protoss who got there not using any concrete BOs (just watched games and took what I liked). Just procrastinating every match, and I also don't ladder a lot.
Despite the lack of laddering, I still had to take a break today from 1v1 laddering (Masters). I went onto FFA mode, and won the first few games due to macro and attacking multiple players (since they had less stuff even when I only used part of my army).
Then I get Nerazim Crypt (kept forgetting to veto that map) and lost all the games on it. I remembered the awesome game I won on Antiga (1 left, 1 got killed by me, 1 Terran left on 2 base). I was Terran with marine/tank/medi and then I scanned his base. Mass air (banshee, viking, raven) + thors. So I threw down a bunch of starports and reactored them, while massing turrets. I had to sac all my tanks against his 3rd (still didn't get it) and dropped 3 medivacs full of marines in his main (not at the same time >_<). By the time he pushed out, I had mass vikings + 2 ravens with enough energy for seeker. So he clumps all his air and... here is the game.

Then I got a game on Antiga. Terran vs. RRZ (rand, rand, zerg). I ended up killed the Protoss random by sniping his main nexus. He counters by killing my 3rd and I just said, fk it, made more more-aders and medivacs and just rolled over his army. He taps out.
At the same time, the 2 Zergs duke it out and the roach/hydra Zerg won. I thought to myself:"Lol roach/hydra, MMM all the way". He ended up adding a few blings (I think I did well with marauders tanking) but hydra dps was just too much. I retreat back and start siege tech and had 2 siege tanks while instead of making mass ling/roach, the Zerg massed corruptor/BL (I didn't know, I still kept making tanks). When his 20+ lollords came raping my empty main, I knew I had a larger ground force so I rolled over his pitiful ground army, took out both his golds (1 was mine at first T_T) and attacked into his main with his slowlords chasing me all over the map. At this point, I started to spit out reactored vikings. My ground army also managed to catch a decent # of corruptors and viking numbers jumped to 10+. They ATE his BL army.
Notice he denied my proxy CCs on my side but never went back to check. So throughout the game, I was literally landing mules off 5 orbitals. Then Terran efficiency kicks in and the Zerg was forced to watch and eventually tap out.

Conclusion: Terran OP FFA.

Whole purpose was to show in the 2nd game that I came back from a 100 army deficit (if you watched the replay at all) because the Diamond Zerg massed BLs. Of course, some of us have a lower level of literacy and can't tell if I'm making a statement about Terran OP FFA, or just using sarcasm (might want to wikipedia that). This is why it was posted in Blogs. It seems like every forum I go to, there's a dozen people like this.
Also see a few people who think they rule the forums by doing /thread. Well you're doing it wrong to begin with- should be /endthread if anything because / does not mean end. This is a blog post so it can go anywhere with no end.
