The pain all around for today's post. Feeling slightly down since I've probably lost the interest of a girl (who, looking back on it, was giving some pretty damn obvious cues showing interest in me) and now I have to lose yet another "cheesey" game to a protoss. :'(

To an extent the reason I lost is in a slight underestimation I made, seeing as my opponent was platinum league while I am diamond... but then again it was a pretty weird build to fight. It was very brief, and I've been slammed with school work this week, so at least I can count on the creation of today's post being brief.

Replay : http://drop.sc/334189

The game
+ Show Spoiler +

A standard, standard opening from yours truely Phalanx. Nothing interesting. Ever.

On the other hand, at 14 supply my enemy decides to drop down a forge.

So of course appropriate measures must be taken to combat a cannon rush... Like pulling some probes to take down his probe. Easy stuff, right?

[image loading]
That's right Johnson, taze his a$$!

Even wall off myself for good measure.

And so I decide to just build up a 4gate and go win. I've been busy, I'm tired, and I stopped his cannon rush. Lets just end this, eh? Meanwhile from his view...

[image loading]

Seems like this last ditch attempt shouldn't even work... but I'm sad to admit that it does... or at least I let it work. It should have been so simple to just make 1 stupid sentry at my base while the 4gate was building up, and it wouldn't have even interrupted my building. But no, I decided to just derp out and wait for warpgate. which came seconds too late.

sour about that supply block

And so I throw away what should have been an easy win. Perhaps I could have tried to struggle on and get the MSC out, but I felt like my chances at a comeback were quite slim. Honestly had too much on my mind, especially with an AP test coming up, and I just need to get over that obstacle before I can focus on SC2 properly again.


Lost the match, lost a girl (who perhaps never was interested in me in the first place... that could always relieve me of some self-critisizm). Just feel altogether bummed out at this week and this game definately didn't help me out with that. Don't even have enough time now to play more than this 1 game... If I get another game out for this blog tomorrow I'll make sure it isn't quite as embarrassing. Have a great day/afternoon, and stay pretty folks!

P.S. Support team Dark Onyx! What's not to love?

P.S.S. Another Corgi, who unlike me looks very happy.

Lessons learnt: League doesn't matter all that much, and always make sure to scout diligently after an opponent's cheese fails!
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)
