[BW Battle Report] Adventures in D Level #6

I’m Zerg in yellow at the top and he’s the orange Protoss at the left. I think he was from Sweden. If not, he was definitely from somewhere else.

Anyway, right off the hop he has a colour advantage but I feel like I can overcome it. But it will be difficult, so solely because of my unfortunate colour situation, I open 9 Pool speed.



I find with my Overlord that he has a Forge and Gateway in his main, only making his second pylon out in his natural. Since this isn’t what Protosses do in the replays I watched, I got confused and frightened and began gently weeping.



My 6 lings get to his base just as his cannon is finishing. It is accompanied by a Zealot and 4 Probes so I can’t stop crying just yet.



I pull back but its not long before he decides to take his first few zealots along with 4 probes to come attack me.



I manage to win the battle pretty handily and kill his cannon but only a few lings remain standing, I’m out of things to do. Meanwhile I haven’t spent any money in a really long time so I decide to take my third base. After a short period of inactivity on both ends, he finally he comes at me with a handful of zealots.



I didn’t have enough units to kill them at the time so I had to consult my “Handbook for Cheesers Who Accidently Made it Past 5 Minutes.” I know it’s a bit of a long winded title, but hey I’m not the one who wrote it (was Shine, probably). The Handbook told me to counterattack, so I did.



I force a cancel on his Nexus and kill the things in the natural but can’t get much done in the main. Likewise, he kills a drone or two and stops some mining time but gets cleaned up eventually. Meanwhile, I’ve gotten a Lair up, researching Overlord speed because Corsairs are out, and have a Hydra Den ready to go. I’m all set to go into the mid game at what I suspect is an advantage.



Anyways, as anyone who has read past D Level Adventures might expect, I just totally lied. I’ve made a bunch of Hydras and Lings and started work on bashing down his front. With three cannons up, I dont meet a ton of initial success.



Fortunately, I have studied the games of my idol Shine quite extensively and know that if I keep hitting H, I can win eventually. I do that.



I get up into his main, he types out right away, and I giggle naughtily for a minute.

There you have it! My bullshit brilliance ultimately manages to prevail and the villain hero wins, as he should!
