Second game of the day! I'm down 0-1, so I have to win the next two matches to come out positive. I spawn at the top of Destination as a tan Terran (ofc), and Atrioc spawns at the bottom as a purple Zerg.

I'm sad that last game's cheese didn't work out, so I decide to copy my friend's 8rax (which he stole from upmagic)

Liftoff is awesome

Luckily for me, he decides to open with a 12hatch

gogo 8rax power~

And (from the rep), I just noticed this:

Can he see me? o_Oa

This ovie is actually quite annoying for the rest of the game

He can't see me :D

Yep, pretty annoying

He can see me D:

But he doesn't pull enough drones in time to kill the marines, so he tries to put up a creep

pewpewpew

I manage to kill the creep and finish the bunker before the lings hatch

I love it when sunkens pop

He ignores my bunker for a bit...

Die hatch die!

...while his lings circle around back

Wait... crap...

I'm scared of a counter, but luckily for me he does this

At this point I have <1 marine in my base. Yep.

Anyways, the bunker goes down, but I manage to get quite a few drone kills

All 3 scvs were already sniped

I come out of this slightly ahead:

Is that gas I see?

He takes a ling and checks the ramp, so I grab a nearby scv and attempt to block. A bit later his zergling-blob runs into my base

Anorexia is not good for your health. Stupid lings

He scouts my wraith-cheese and tries to kill the port (instead of my scvs)

His zerglings are incompetent too

Just now, though, my vulture pop out

Hallelujah!

After sniping the lings, he heads straight down to kill some drones

Annoying ovie :[

But when he reaches the nat, he sees a total of 0 drones

I was slightly confused here

He tries to head straight up the ramp, but gets denied

Droner block!

He picks off one drone before two lings arrive

pop

Zerglings don't counter vultures very well...

pewpew

...but apparently drones do

Poor vulture

Back at my base, another vulture is finishing up...

I have no idea why I attached the machine shop before making the second one; I didn't tech any vulture-techs

...along with a wraith

Notice the science facility

My barracks resumes production of marines and I lay down another one a couple of seconds later

I have no idea why I addon'd the port early either, I only made 1 wraith and I never got cloak or anything

My second vulture heads straight down...

Ovie again

...where he dies with a total of 0 kills

The wraith's =( says it all

My wraith, however, meets no anti-air for quite a while...

That's 4 drone kills and 1 ovie kill. Revenge for the vulture~

...but eventually he is forced to leave

Good thing I didn't go hardcore wraiths, eh?

I also forgot to change my rally when I made my science vessel

Hi thar droner~ Dunno what he was doing there (the drone I mean)

Back at my base, I lay down an academy...

Whoopsies ^^"

...which is canceled as soon as my comsat finishes (now there's a line you don't see everyday, eh?)

The bunkers were because I was scared of mutas. Kinda stupid of me, really, since I had a wraith-scout out...

At this point, though, I've massed up a decent-sized army

Fear the terran ball!

I also notice a drone heading around the back of my base

Oh no you don't

Once I reach his base, I abuse my irridiate and seige up in his base

My tank is slow >_>

Once again, he sets up for a flank

Uh oh

But I have enough marines to hold it off easily

popop

He tries one more time, this time pulling drones to help. Since my army is mostly dead, I decide to irridiate my vessels while they sit on top of my marines. Pure genius, I know.

Pro irridiating skeelz

But vessels are good for killing drones as well

I love doing this

Thanks to my awe-inspiring macro, I have a massive force built up and heading in

Fear my uber-macro

I decide to expand because of my large mineral surplus

Liftoff <3

He manages to clean up my forces at his base with a couple of hydra-lurkers

Should've used my pro irridiating skeelz

But reinforcements are on the way!

Lings go pop when they die

Yeah, fear my marine-spread

Marines go pop too

He comes in for a 1-lurker counter

wat

Which manages to scare off all my scvs

Does anyone know which match it was that NaDa (I think it was NaDa...) pulled scvs to kill lurkers? That was smexy

His lings come in shortly thereafter, but my blob manages to clean up his assault

He ALMOST sniped the tank here

My tanks have less range than normal ones, I swear

He sniped the tank here :[

After the lurker is cleaned up, my scvs head back to mine

In case you haven't noticed, I forgot to lift my cc closer to the minerals x_x

My wraith notices a drone sitting at the zerg's 3rd

This wraith paid for itself many, many times over

And once again, he brings lurkers back to counter

Fine, they were almost-lurkers

But they get sniped as they morph

pewpewpew

And once again I head towards his nat

Boxer-esque marine micro

I send my wraith to patrol his possible expo-spots

He never managed to snipe the annoying scouting ovie

At this point I can trade my vessels for scourge and come out ahead

Okay, maybe that was an excuse for sloppy micro

There isn't much he can do as I seige up in his nat, though, and he taps out

This blob finished off the bunker's job

GG! Tied at 1-1 (you could cheat and look at the results, but that would make you a cheater D:< )

BTW, I have quite a bit of homework to catch up on by Monday (I was lazy x_x), so part 3 might be kinda lame
