EPTToday I resumed my playing and I played six games.
Game 1: This game was on Condemned Ridge vs a Protoss. I just played standard wih three bases before taking any gas and going into roach, ling off of four gasses so I can consistently keep my upgrades going. The protoss player hit me with a delayed and pretty weak immortal push that I easily crushed and then attacked while taking a fourth. The attack won me the game so I never got up to hive.
Game 2: This was also vs a protoss but on Ohana. I went for the same style again but just as I started to produce units DT's appeared, or rather didn't. They killed all of my drones but two due to extremely poor control and I wound up losing my desperation push with about twenty roaches.
Game 3 On Ohana is where I faced off against the first terran for the day. I started with a 14 pool and a 15 hatch. I got a Lair at about 5-6 minutes and expanded directly afterwards. The terran came in with small clusters of marines and marauders that were pretty easily disposed of with some lings. Eventually a slightly larger force came in and I almost lost a couple of queens but I managed to save them. I got a hive aroun 10-11 minutes and then an ultralisk cavern. I was now sitting an about 150 supply of infestors and zerglings. The terran started dropping everywhere and my plans were held up. Eventually I managed to clean the drops up and I made a bunch of ultras and went to kill him. It worked.
Game 4: Another terran but this time on Daybreak. I did the exactly same opening. After I took my third I noticed him doing the same so I rushed over with a bunch of lings to kill his building Planetary Fortress. I was stopped outside of his natural so I brought over my infestors and more lings while morphing banelings. I buted his bunker and found a small hole through which I could run in and destroy the natural. I was however denied access to his main due to tanks. I had already build a spire so I buildt about 20 mutas and swung in from the behind, killd all his SCV's and picked off the tanks so I could bust in. He then proceeded to leave the game.
Game 5: Yet another Terran on Entombed Valley this time. This was a long game. I did the exact same thing as before and went for ultras but he managed to hold me off repeatedly at his fourth. Probably the fourth time I sacked my army in to his siegeline He got enough courage to oush out against me but was held up by cleaning up the creep. Thanks to this I got out well over ten ultras and a few lings. So I fungaled his mech-army in place and destroyed it. Then I finally managed to kill his base.
Game 6: This was versus a Protoss on Tal'Darim Altar and I forgot that the rocks were removed so I 6-pooled because I thought I had it veto'd just that it got back after the season change. I thought I was sure of where he was so I ran my lings to the wrong base and when I finally got in to his base he had defenses and I only managed to kill off about six probes. I then went for muta, ling for some reason. I never do this because I don't feel I have the macro or multitasking to do it. I didn't think of the little bugger called observer either so when I got to his base with my mutas there were cannons, everywhere. I massed up some more mutas and got in to his base and started killing stuff. He counterattacked and I tried to defend instead of baseracing which I easily could have done. I wound up losing the game because I didn't kill off his gatewys when in his base with my mutas.
Over all I felt It went pretty well and my play wasn't as poor as last night. I lost due to stupid mistakes that really shouldn't have happened. I still have to work hard on scouting properly. I simply ignore it during the games. It's not so hard to just float an overlord over his main. I just need to remember this in game.
