Due to some relentless aggression early on, I was able to put myself ahead economically by grabbing a 3rd and 4th base on Tau Cross. However, all was not well as my calculating opponent managed to find my weak spot and forced a lift on both my 3rd and 4th command centers halting my mining.

Despite defeating his army, I found myself over 20-30 SCVs short with a minuscule army at best (rest was out clearing bases and was became negligible soon after). Macroing like a madman using some saved money in my bank, I managed to muster up a large enough army that helped me both re-establish my economy and continue some form of aggression.

While my opponent's main focus was on my re-established third base and the constant on-the-move army that kept taking pot shots at his various bases, I snuck in some ghosts past his watchful eyes and wrecked his economy to oblivion:



And with that, the game was sealed in my favour! Yet another achievement unlocked!

That off-location nuke...How...

Who would put a nuke there expecting their opponent to retreat exactly to that location? Did you play that guy before and knew he would pull drones to that spot? Was this the most genius plan ever or just dumb luck? I dont understand...

fuck nukes.......
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

It would be dumb luck if he placed the nuke there accidentally. A misclick or something. You dont fire mindlessly into the blue and call it dumb luck if you hit your enemy right in the head. He put the nuke their consciously (for some reason?!) and the drones just happened to walk right into it as if they knew just where to go.

He's only half right. I placed the nuke there purposely. The other potential side to nuke his base from had a spore with a sunken but the side I nuked from had the spore further north so I was able to move in closer and would've managed to keep my ghost alive to retreat (secondary objective). So, it wasn't dumb luck but a calculated attack that managed to also take out his drones due to panic and miscalculation on his part. Also, yes, I've played this guy plenty of times before. Just check out some of my previous BRs like this one: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/489387-i-finally-managed-to-win ^^
