Phalanx's Daily #50: Be a kinder player.

Johnson, the lovable 1-st scouting probe! Dream profession is Aiur Head Chef.


Mike the stalker. Hardest working of them all, and single-handedly preventing scouting and pressure, while receiving the least credit.


Emily, the mothership core. Has a secret love for education, but quickly gets out of hand and fires photons all over the place if pissed off.


Snowden, the sneaky observer, watching out for the protoss race. He checks your computer history too.

A PvT on Neo Planet. My enemy opens up with 4 reapers, no doubt attempting to rush me with more reapers than I'm prepared for. My defensiev is a little bit slow because I was sending out Emily on a scouting mission, but she does get back in time to prevent any real probe damage (which worked out for me since I got my natural much faster).


Mike bravely falls in the line of combat. Meanwhile Emily receives all the credit.

I figure that my opponent's marine count is pretty low because of his early reapers, so I decide to go with a fast drop. Pretty unfamiliar with this sort of play, but I do fairly well. My stalker target fire could have made me last a lot longer, but there were so many units that it was hard for me to distinguish the marines from the SCVs.


Focus fire's just too hard, why not make a-move stronger?

My warp prism spotted him making an extremely early third, so I make my third a bit earlier than usual to compensate, knowing that I'll be relatively safe.
For once, I actually move out before I'm basically maxed. My army consists of 2 colossi so I decide that I'll be able to overpower his army, and I head to his 3rd to deal some damage to it. My proxy pylon is a bit out of the way, and I totally forgot to bring along a probe for a closer one. Sadly, one of my Colossi derped and went the wrong way, making it both vulnerable to death (which I believe it experienced) and lowering my firepower a tad. My attack went in around when he was moving out and I indirectly prevented his drop :D!


Scratch that, the colossus that was "in position" died, while the one that was being stupid survived and dealt out damage.

The terran lost quite a few medivacs because he forgot to move them away from the colossus... silly medivacs, you can't damage me!
I use my colossus to simply poke away at his wall while I wait for a second colossus to come. I realize that I have a superior army at this point and most likely a superior economy, so I besiege him, teasing him at engaging my superior army without the help of of bunker and wall. Some damage is dealt, and I continue to grow stronger.


Wheeeeeeee get some entropy bitches!

Terran goes for a drop, probably his only way to actually come back into the game at this point. The drop is handled with ease thanks to photon overcharge +some warpins, and my warmy moves in to kill his base while it's missing many units.


Piles of dead bodies, piles of dead bodies everywhere.

My enemy is rather sour at his loss, and complements the strength of my army.


"Sick skilless army bro"? What's skilless?
