EPTI'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)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-30-50-02.jpg)
Liftoff is awesome
Luckily for me, he decides to open with a 12hatch
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-31-33-88.jpg)
gogo 8rax power~
And (from the rep), I just noticed this:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-31-56-24.jpg)
Can he see me? o_Oa
This ovie is actually quite annoying for the rest of the game
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-32-16-32.jpg)
He can't see me :D
Yep, pretty annoying
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-32-31-18.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-33-09-43.jpg)
pewpewpew
I manage to kill the creep and finish the bunker before the lings hatch
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-33-28-35.jpg)
I love it when sunkens pop
He ignores my bunker for a bit...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-33-54-07.jpg)
Die hatch die!
...while his lings circle around back
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-34-03-99.jpg)
Wait... crap...
I'm scared of a counter, but luckily for me he does this
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-34-19-36.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-34-44-63.jpg)
All 3 scvs were already sniped
I come out of this slightly ahead:
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-27-71.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-29-91.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-32-44.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-35-55-61.jpg)
Anorexia is not good for your health. Stupid lings
He scouts my wraith-cheese and tries to kill the port (instead of my scvs)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-36-09-85.jpg)
His zerglings are incompetent too
Just now, though, my vulture pop out
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0300-36-20-99.jpg)
Hallelujah!
After sniping the lings, he heads straight down to kill some drones
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-20-07-14.jpg)
Annoying ovie :[
But when he reaches the nat, he sees a total of 0 drones
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-20-46-60.jpg)
I was slightly confused here
He tries to head straight up the ramp, but gets denied
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-20-51-35.jpg)
Droner block!
He picks off one drone before two lings arrive
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-01-91.jpg)
pop
Zerglings don't counter vultures very well...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-07-49.jpg)
pewpew
...but apparently drones do
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-18-63.jpg)
Poor vulture
Back at my base, another vulture is finishing up...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-41-85.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-52-77.jpg)
Notice the science facility
My barracks resumes production of marines and I lay down another one a couple of seconds later
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-21-59-47.jpg)
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...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-22-14-00.jpg)
Ovie again
...where he dies with a total of 0 kills
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-22-42-71.jpg)
The wraith's =( says it all
My wraith, however, meets no anti-air for quite a while...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-23-47-41.jpg)
That's 4 drone kills and 1 ovie kill. Revenge for the vulture~
...but eventually he is forced to leave
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-24-01-60.jpg)
Good thing I didn't go hardcore wraiths, eh?
I also forgot to change my rally when I made my science vessel
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-24-16-61.jpg)
Hi thar droner~ Dunno what he was doing there (the drone I mean)
Back at my base, I lay down an academy...
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-24-44-13.jpg)
Whoopsies ^^"
...which is canceled as soon as my comsat finishes (now there's a line you don't see everyday, eh?)
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-25-11-05.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-25-35-93.jpg)
Fear the terran ball!
I also notice a drone heading around the back of my base
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-25-44-54.jpg)
Oh no you don't
Once I reach his base, I abuse my irridiate and seige up in his base
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-02-83.jpg)
My tank is slow >_>
Once again, he sets up for a flank
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-23-30.jpg)
Uh oh
But I have enough marines to hold it off easily
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-28-44.jpg)
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.
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-26-42-10.jpg)
Pro irridiating skeelz
But vessels are good for killing drones as well
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-00-69.jpg)
I love doing this
Thanks to my awe-inspiring macro, I have a massive force built up and heading in
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-22-64.jpg)
Fear my uber-macro
I decide to expand because of my large mineral surplus
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-30-86.jpg)
Liftoff <3
He manages to clean up my forces at his base with a couple of hydra-lurkers
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-27-54-72.jpg)
Should've used my pro irridiating skeelz
But reinforcements are on the way!
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-28-30-46.jpg)
Lings go pop when they die
Yeah, fear my marine-spread
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-28-39-32.jpg)
Marines go pop too
He comes in for a 1-lurker counter
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-11-75.jpg)
wat
Which manages to scare off all my scvs
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-23-55.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-34-68.jpg)
He ALMOST sniped the tank here
My tanks have less range than normal ones, I swear
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-44-43.jpg)
He sniped the tank here :[
After the lurker is cleaned up, my scvs head back to mine
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-50-50.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-29-57-64.jpg)
This wraith paid for itself many, many times over
And once again, he brings lurkers back to counter
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-30-25-00.jpg)
Fine, they were almost-lurkers
But they get sniped as they morph
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-30-39-69.jpg)
pewpewpew
And once again I head towards his nat
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-31-17-02.jpg)
Boxer-esque marine micro
I send my wraith to patrol his possible expo-spots
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-31-49-49.jpg)
He never managed to snipe the annoying scouting ovie
At this point I can trade my vessels for scourge and come out ahead
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-32-44-41.jpg)
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
![[image loading]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/qawsec/StarCraft2009-01-0301-33-09-05.jpg)
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
