Race Wars: Parts Four AND Five

Sorry for the huge delay in updates; I know I said I'd get these done last weekend, but I forgot that I had finals :[
(And now it's been two weeks since race wars x_X)

Game one of TvP! I spawn at 1:00 as a yellow terran and X-Hunter spawns at 10:00 as a white protoss

I open up with a wall-in and scout a bit after my rax starts

This SCV scouts the wrong way :[

His probe scout is a bit late and gets denied by my wall-in...

No scouting for you :D

...so I decide to SUPER TWO FACT him

This build is awesome. Srsly

Unluckily for me, though, my scv scouted the wrong way and I meet his 12nex just as it finishes up

확실히 요즘의 대세는 더블넥이니까요... 최소한 2지선다?
Recent trend is double nexus….

Yeah, remember to listen to the koreans >_<

He has more gates than I have factories :[

So I decide to push out with >6< SCVs in hopes of dealing massive damage

Congo line!

I manage to reach his base fairly unopposed...

Die pylon die!

...but as soon as I open fire on the nexus, he attacks with his dragoons and probes to take me out

My SCVs are slightly out of position

My entire force is taken out (after this picture), but I manage to snipe a couple of probes

I seem a bit behind at this point

With my army dead, the protoss moves out to snipe my barracks

I hate it when this happens

I try to ninja a couple of vultures past his dragoon army...

Ninja ninja ninja~

...but he's semi-ready and only one vulture gets up the ramp

My vulture dies a couple of seconds later :[

However, I'm still massing vultures in an attempt to catch up

Jackpot [:

I manage to get a couple of probe kills, but I'm forced to back off once his obs arrive

I was hoping for a suicidal dragoon -> probe pop >_>

At this point my expo is nearly done and I decide to sit back and turtle up

phear the tanks

He comes in for an all-out counter, probably hoping to end the game right there

No flank [:

Luckily for me, my tanks make some goon soup

Repair power :D

In response, I move out with my mini-army in an attempt to deal some damage

It's rollin' time

I seige up outside his nat and begin pounding away...

Unstoppable~

...and begin a wall to make my tanks invincible~

I did manage to snipe a couple of probes

But just before my extra turrets finish up he forces an unseige...

Shuttles :[

...and breaks my 'contain'...

Probably should've made some vultures

...and rips down all my buildings :[

At least the SCVs made it, right?

The protoss decides to grab his mineral-only in response to my suicidal tanks

See that vulture at the bottom? It scouted every base except for that one

Since his shuttle is still alive, he decides to go in for a late bulldog...

Fail-shuttle

...but I have a fairly decent army built up

Notice the command center

A couple of tanks die to splash..

sadface

..but he loses a bunch of goons as he backs off as well

happyface

I finally scout his mineral only and send some vultures to intercept his transfer

Stupid observers :[

Dragoon-denied

For vengeance~

My command center is done at this point and I float it to my 3rd...

Liftoff > you

...where it is promptly spotted by an observer

This is the same observer that denied my probe-raping D:

However, I've begun ramping up my factory count

3 addons = mass tanks

He charges in once again

Charge~

And backs off as soon as he sees I'm ready

Just checkin' the tank count >_>

I set up a couple more tanks for defense...

Lots and lots of tanks [:

...and send vultures around back to try and harass

Ninja time

I dump all my mines between his nat and minonly and head in for some kills

No obs this time ;o

Luckily for me, his cannons are only halfway done when I arrive

Probe-snipe :D

While my vultures are taken out, I mine up back at home in preparation for my push

Can't touch this~

I manage to get to his third without meeting any opposition

Sniping the third

I scan his force and it looks fairly small, so I try to pick off a bit of his army with my reinforcements

3base terran is unstoppable~

He has no obs with his army, so it melts to my mines, but I forget to scan and my army is destroyed anyways

Stasis nerf plx

Who needs obs, though, when you have MANLOTS?

Everyone knows obs are a waste of gas

But at this point I'm sieged right outside his nat

Vultures out of position >_>

He pulls off an uber-stasis, but doesn't have enough units to abuse it

srsly, nerf stasis plx

Not nearly enough units

Soup P=

My other force heads to his minonly...

3base terran is still unstoppable~

...where it gets stasis-owned

o gawd no

My vultures are left unfrozen, though, and I mine up (a LOT)

This is many mines, yes?

He manages to break my minefield, but his goons melt as soon as my tanks unstasis

That's right, die you stupid goons

Arbiters are apparently good against tanks >_>

I should've targetted the nexus...

At this point, though, it doesn't matter much

His pylons are going down...

Along with his 4th...

So he comes in for one last attack...

Which melts, even with the imbastasis

And it's on to game two! I'm 2-2 so far, so I have to win this to come out positive
I spawn at 5:00 as a teal (best color) terran and X-Hunter spawns at 11:00 as a red protoss.

He sends one of his first probes out...

Probes are so broken D:

...and begins a proxy just above my base

Does anyone find it imba that protoss can proxy, fail, and come out even?

This is to be expected on the cheesiest map of the set, however, so I wallin and send out an early SCV

Pandabearguy speaks the truth (except for terran proxies, those are cool)

I reach his base, but nothing's there :[

sadface

At this point, the two gateways haven't yet been finished

9/9 gate no less D:

Luckily for me, my wallin is near-finished

Depot-owned

Unluckily for me, my SCV finishes building the rax outside

He was already hurt by the imba-probe

His breakin is denied by my marine

Schwarzenegger-style.

I'm scared of going outside my base, so I decide to 2fact

My SCV was in his base, so I thought he hadn't teched yet >_>

He's begun teching..

You don't need to hide your cyber core, silly >_>

...but I'm slightly ahead at this point

That's what you get for proxy double gating D:<

I decide to lift my rax so I can send an SCV out to scout

His zeals came up RIGHT when I lifted, I swear

I have as many marines as he has zeals... not a good sign

I already lost one :[

And then there was one.

Run awayyy~

I SCV drill to try and hold off the zealots

Save the marineee

I manage to pick off one, but he backs away

SCV power

By now a couple more marines have built...

pewpewpew

And I manage to kill the rest of his zeals

Three for three :D

Strangely enough, he has exactly one dragoon trying to break down my wall

Repair is awesome

My tank comes out in a couple of seconds and pushed him back

His goon froze for a second... <3 goon AI

My army moves out to try and eat some protoss

[i]The bridges make it really hard to move around >_>

I scout his proxy right away, but he comes in to try and snipe a tank or two

life of lively to live to life of full life thx to scv repair

I kill off the rest of his forces...

So that's where his 2nd goon was >_>

...then pick off his pylons and leave

No probe kill

This probe is quite annoying

Why isn't it dead yet T_T

Yep. Quite annoying

Ninja'd

He has only probes in his main(his army died)

Haha, what were the probes trying to do

So I waltz up the ramp and mine up everything in preparation for DTs

40 damage, permanent cloak, what was Blizzard thinking?

His first DT manages to pop a couple of vultures and marines before dying

I really should've seen this coming...

His second DT heads over to save his mineral line

Every terran's wet dream. Oh yes...

Sadly enough, the mine misses the mineral line and only gets 2 probes

Wet dream fail :[

Unfortunately for me, I forgot about the proxy

I actually sent these vultures over to mine up the proxy, but I was a little too late >_>

Although his DT makes it into my main...

-_-;; why did I not see this coming

His main is empty of probes

I'm taking down the proxy

And I've started a slowpush in his main

3-2 for race wars (So I came out positive, HA). I'm thinking about doing the PvZ too (scout galore!), but it's already been two weeks since the race wars

ended x_X
I just wanted to finish these up since I already had the pictures taken >_>
