The Game
Early Game
+ Show Spoiler +
Ok guys, lets play the "Guess what opener the protoss player did" game! With the HUGE flavor of opening available to protosses, there's no clear-cut answer! Give it your best shot? Was your guess... the proxy observer rush? WRONG! Actually, I did a forge fast expand!
Huh, an FFE. How about that.
So yeah! My zerg enemy, on the other hand, went for a fast gas. Johnson was hard at work this time to make sure not to overlook any simple mistakes like that game against SwarmHosts, so he dutifully scouted time and time again. And he dug up some golden intel; no fast 3rd! He even managed to sneak past the defenses...
You sneaky bastard! Well done!
The zerg's map awareness was pretty mediocre, as I do believe that he had vision of the proxy pylon. But he didn't notice it in time... and I got some good warp ins ;D
Aw yiss, warpins!!!
While not a crushing blow, this harrassment was pretty damn good. I killed off quite a few workers, and most importantly forced out combat units, indirectly cutting his income. Man did that feel good! He also had lots of roaches now, which aren't very good at hitting voidrays. <3
Heh, look at these bugs. Lets use tractor beams and lazurs to eviscerate them.
Mid Game
+ Show Spoiler +
Ye ye, getting into some action!? The zerg builds up that oh-so-awesome mid game force of roach hydra. While normally I would cringe at having to fight it, his forces are quite delayed this game thanks to my harassment earlier on! By the time he moves out, I even have storm completed.
Is that all you got?
He is pretty persistent with his attacks. His first one is the closest to dealing real damage, although the ultimate result of it is to throw away all of his roaches for naught.
Oh yeah baby, these storms turn me ON!
That line of dead hydras also turned me on a bit. The remaining roaches were pretty numerous but my voidrays were able to clean them up ezpz. The zergy then continues to only make hydralisks... not a great choice. Although I daresay that at this point he was already far enough behind that I had the leverage I needed to get up my unstoppable force, he still could have benefited greatly from making infestors and corruptors sooner.
Mohr hydras!
His next attack swung around to my under-construction 4th base, catching the cannons just fast enough to force me into cancelling them . My fabulous-rays were able to clean up his remaining forces again, so once again the zerg ended up behind in the units/resources lost.
FABULOUS!
As my economy started to boom I decided to switch up into hard core carrier production... oh how I love carriers!!!
Says carriers are useless again; I double dog dare you motha fuc|<a!
End Game
+ Show Spoiler +
As goes with all games of skytoss vs ground zerg armies, my forces just started to get stronger and stronger as time passed. The zerg now pulls out his trump card; mass corruptor diving! What a chump! I, however, am fairly prepared for the matter.
Come at me bro!
A couple of storms along with archon/photon cannon support mop the floor with corruptor juices.
Afterwards, the zerg player decides to.... take a small force and corner himself. I have no idea what he was thinking. Anyhow, he threw away his precious remaining forces.
Final ditch attempt by the zerg, he starts to mass pretty much only corruptors. Fun fact, archons and storms and voidrays deal with corruptors very very very very very very very very well. Once the corruptors are gone, So that's just what happens.
Even the probes join the fray!
And so the army is rolled over with not too much micro <3. Man I love carriers. Say what you want about them, I use them as often as I can and I love it.
OP noob shits are the best kinds of noob shits.
Aw yiss so yet another dailylylyly passes on! Almost a month of consecutive dailies, although I gimped out on a few of them. YAY for keeping up a self-made goal! Now I just need to see how much longer I can last... Have a great day, thanks for reading! (also if you have any negative ratings please give me some advice that you think could improve the daily!)
