Idea stolen from Grobyc :D
Anyways, this is the first game I played during the Racewars. It's a TvZ on Othello; I spawn at 7:00 as a red Terran (the best race ofc) and Atrioc spawns on 10:00 as a purple Zerg (they cheated to win racewars, I swear it...)
I scout him on my first try (I probably should've blocked his expo here):
The usual greeting
Scouter power!
Hey, I can count~
Time to check his gas...
Hay thar droner
DENIED
I learned this one from the tosses
Pretty standard, right?
Imba lings > partially-built refinery
NOPE! At this point I've decided that (since I don't know how good the Zerg is and because his build looks like a standard 3hatch muta) I'm going to cheese. I learned this build awhile ago. It's pretty simple: 1 rax fe, then build 3 more raxes, then get stim and kill the sunkens. Epic plan, gogo~
I copied this build from Ayumi. It's supposed to roll 3hatch mutas.
One slight problem:
This build also gets scanners just a bit late...
See the red line on the minimap?
They're supposed to break down the sunkens a couple of seconds before the mutas hatch.
Well, I forgot that I didn't have range yet (I think I forgot to get it all game x_X), but I tried to pull a boxer anyways:
This is every bit as bad as it looks
Damned mining speed
If you can't tell, I cut a just a few scvs for this build...
Counter-lurkers mode (I think I spent all my excess gas here so I couldn't get range, and then I forgot to pick it up later :[ )~
I like tanks. Seige up, pewpew, popop.
Time to show off my insane anti-lurker skillz!
BOXER POWER!
Nerf lurkers plx
I swear boxer's marines have more hp...
My force after my boxer-esque assault:
Ensnare is imba
Well, one of them made it
He later dies a painful, lurker-related death. Serves him right, coward
What's this! The lurkers followed him!
I forgot to macro medics. TvZ macro is intense :[
Circle around and...
It felt really, really good to finally kill these things
I assume he's taken a third at this point, so I send out scouter SCVs (gotta save my scans), one of which finds this:
*Hi5's the hatch*
Can't let him run on three gases, now can I?
Fear the terran congo line!
He decides to go and attack my main (I probably shouldn't have moved out, eh?)
Tanks counter lurkers. I'm definately gonna win this fight.
E-z, amirite?
Pop
TT
Pop
Meanwhile at 2:00...
Well, I did some damage
And my nat?
Ensnare was bad enough D:<
His lurkers are in my main at this point (and all two of my vessels died to scourge), so I decide to go in for a last-ditch counter.
I swear I brought some medics..
Lazy medics...
I don't know what happened here...
My base:
At least he doesn't have swarm
His base:
His drone is bad at mining minerals
GG
What I learned from this game: I am not Boxer Turtle harder Scout for counters Turtle harder Lurkers and Queens are imba
I'll upload all the replays after I finish off the battle-reports for the rest of the set Have a happy 2009~

Haha, thanks for doing that. Even if the game wasn't that great you sure made it seem pretty fun

Hehe I liked this, battle reports are fun :D And MS Paint enhances everything.

The 4rax works decently vs 3 hatch lurks too, you just attack a bit earlier or you contain outside. The problem is that your economy is kinda shitty from cutting scvs though.
Oh, and you failed us too...I knew I should have taken you out when I saw you in op tl-west yesterday!

This was a really fun game to play and probably the only time I have ever successfully used "Operation Green SCV"
I look forward to your battle report for our second game on Destination, because i have a few choice words about the Zerg point of view.
+ Show Spoiler +Namely how smug I was at predicting the bunker rush before losing basically every drone to it.
We should play more often!

In my racewars game 1 vs shallowbay, his scout drone started to steal my gas when I kindly asked him to give it back. Of course he canceled, the drone made it out of my base alive and everyone ended up happy. Try reasoning with the zerg next time

You paid me back next game by sparing Mr. Overlord so it all worked out in the end.
