Hello TL, as promised 3 days ago in my last promotion blog, Another battle report (My TL name was Justicejimzor for the last ONE). the game Which got me promoted (to platinum) was sloppy and poorly played by both of us. So instead I'll do a battle report of the ladder match the game before i got promoted. It was me (gold Terran) vs a Diamond Protoss.

Beware, Spoiler is image heavy.
+ Show Spoiler +


[image loading]
Just some friendly pre-game banter

[image loading]
This guy was Really friendly

[image loading]
A single stalker doesn't do too well against a large group of marines

[image loading]
Wait, don't fast expanding Protoss need at least 5 gates? or 4gate robo?

[image loading]
And uhh.. Probes on Gas?

[image loading]
Luckily his Precious little Gas wasn't wasted on this observer, as I didn't have the energy to scan him before he flew away

[image loading]
3 Colossus, one of the scariest things I could see.. my 4 vikings don't seem so good now.

[image loading]
My APM peaks to 4x it's usual amount as i realize the Flying units Which will make my army worth anything at all are Flying in Alone.

[image loading]
I chose to A-move, he chose to Run-Away-Move

[image loading]
Turns out units Which attack beat units Which run away slowly. though i fear i would have Lost this FighT if my factory didn't absorb the 26 hit-points that it did.

[image loading]
My opponent points out that i play an unfair race, I am dismayed to realize that this is the sole Reason I bested him in 1-on-1 combat.

[image loading]
Despite losing due to unfair play, my opponent is still manner, and leaves with a good game.

[image loading]
Next stop, Diamond League!

[image loading]
BONUS! My ladder hasn't looked this good in a while, i got promoted to gold league on the last game stating '4 days ago'. there are about 11 games above this, of Which i won Only 4 (Diamonds are hard Okay)


Thanks for reading! Good luck and more importantly, have fun in your own games!

P.S. for anyone Who wants to hear me get mad as i lose, listen to ridiculous skype conversations, and see worse-than-average Plat>Dia Terran play check out my stream.
http://www.twitch.tv/ikidomari
I will try to stream at least 3 hrs a day (Probably more like 5-6 hours a day if i get a non-zero amount of viewers) from anywhere between 7:00PM > 3:00AM, and then again from 11:00AM > 4:00PM.

P.P.S. Any random capitilization i didn't notice is because i accidentally TLPD-ised the whole blog, and un-TLPDising didn't return it 100% to normal

Entertaining read, hah.

Same build for every matchup with a slight variation
9depo
12rax
constant marines (for rest of game)
16orbital
CC when money
2 rax when money
2 gas when money
2 tech labs, 1 reactor
Stim/combat
Factory
Start gas at natural when factory finishes, starport at same time, put reactor on the Factory for a swap with SP
Double engibay

then:
vT Constant medivacs, attack when 1/1 finishes, (expand/armory while pushing out vs all 3 races)

vP
scan when i start medivacs, if there is robo, no TC, chuck a 2nd starport, push when 4 medivacs 6 vikings
if TC, make ghost academy, push when i have cloak
if both, make ghosts / 4 vikings

vZ
after medivacs start, put a reactor on the rax, push with 6 hellions, 8 medivacs

most games i push out between 11 and 13 minutes
