I haven’t done one of these in a little while and I just played a rather fun game that I wanted to share. He was sitting on about 1800 iccup ladder points so I was pretty happy about the win, considering I’m very low D level.

I’m throwing it all in the following spoiler because I hate having to scroll through the whole page. ^_^

+ Show Spoiler +
It’s a ZvT on Fighting Spirit. I’m in red so I’m forced to shift+tab+tab. I’m like a bull!
[image loading]
If bulls weighed 130 pounds, played video games all day, and watched My Little Pony.

Keeping my promise to myself of trying to learn how to play real games, I 12 hatch.
[image loading]
Look, drone timed perfectly to natural. Cool, I must be Jaedong or something.

I scout a fast 2 barracks. Now, I only started following Starcraft in late 2008 so this is totally not something I see ever.
[image loading]
“I couldn’t help but notice that isn’t a command center, ya weirdo.” - Drone

Continuing with my intentions to actually play standard, I make a third hatch! I think this the first time I’ve built a third hatch in about a year.
[image loading]
Oh how I missed you, vaguely disturbing eye thing.

Not knowing wtf a 2 barracks opening does or what it eats in the winter, I rush the shit out of 3 creep colonies.
[image loading]
”NooOOOb!” - Vaguely disturbing eye thing

Confused as drunk giraffe on a submarine, I peak up his ramp. There’s a ton of marines and an SCV there. Unfortunately I lose both lings and consequently am forced to shit my pants.
[image loading]
Not pictured: Drunk giraffe on a submarine.

Not to fear, I had a few more lings that I sent up to see whats up. They weren’t greeted nicely.
[image loading]
“Dear sunken colonies,

You’re fucked. Much apologies. Sincerely,

Zerglings.”


I prepare my counter-attack taskforce but it is busted by the other guy’s own “Kill the shit out of zerg” taskforce.
[image loading]
“To you, we sacrifice our most prized VirginLing. Now leave us alone.” - Counter-attack Taskforce

I was planning on going for the normal Mutalisks but I decided Lurkers would be better to defend this.
[image loading]
It was not until much later that I realized this didn’t make any sense at all.

My taskforce finally hits his main and starts kicking marines. I haven’t seen any sign of his army since I made my virgin sacrifice so I’m hoping it came back to defend.
[image loading]
”No, wait guys, you have to hear this funny joke.” - Desperate marines.

I found his army.
[image loading]
”Fuck.” - Me

I figured I would be in pretty good shape if that tank wasn’t there. So I take 12 lings and go at it.
[image loading]
Not pictured: Any degree of success.

Meanwhile, I still have quite few lings in his base.
[image loading]
”Don’t worry guys, we got the much less important tank.” - Le Task Force

I take another go at the tank, knowing I managed to kill the second tank already. Somehow this is even less successful than the first.
[image loading]
Zergling Ghosts: “Stop that please.”

Finally with a vulture and a few firebats, my taskforce is cleaned up. I’ve messed with the reinforcements but did no economic damage.
[image loading]
Not that he’s very concerned with his economy.

At that same moment, I’ve got a half completed sunken colony, two half completed creep colonies, and literally no army short of a handful of lings that are about to pop out.
[image loading]
Don’t worry about it, I got this.

Even though my hydra den has been finished for a long time, I just now manage to find time off from being awful to start that lurker aspect.
[image loading]
Overlaying the sunken’s health quite literally took me about 5 minutes. It’s because I’m just so talented at both Starcraft and graphic design!

At this point he’s sieging my natural hatchery so I’m pretty much completely boned now. But wait! What’s that? An unsiege?!
[image loading]
Pictured above: Some strange combination of pity and wtf.

So naturally I throw my army him and hope for the best!
[image loading]
”I can’t help but feel I’d be less dead in siege mode” - Tank

I lost all my lings but he’s pretty much cleaned up as well.
[image loading]
”I hate you both” - Indistinguishable pool of blood.

My Lurker aspect is getting closer to completion and I finally realize that I actually want a spire.
[image loading]
Only three minutes too late, not bad.

I move out with some lings, only to be met by the stupidest and weirdest looking army I’ve ever seen in my life.
[image loading]
I guess the standard transition from a fast 2 Barracks is the 3 Firebat + 1 Marine + 2 Medic + Vulture + a fucking Goliath mid game timing attack.

I end up retreating because Firebats are totally imbaimba. The second counter-attack task force (attask force?) prepares to move out. I guess they weren’t told what happened to the first one.
[image loading]
Or they figured it was better than just getting right-clicked on a siege tank and doing nothing.

Finally I start morphing in some Lurkers. At the same moment, my spire finishes.
[image loading]
You can tell my Spire’s done because I pasted a picture of it in the corner for reasons that completely escape me.

Just as my new Attask Force is ready to hit his main, his weirdo army shows up at my door, now accompanied by another siege tank.
[image loading]
At long last, my plan to break a tank contain with Lurkers is totally not unfolding.

I don’t watch my Attask Force so it unfortunately does a little more nothing at all than I had planned on.
[image loading]
Actually, I totally killed the shit out of that barracks. That’ll show him.

I super carefully position my lurkers in such a way that they will never help defend against anything.
[image loading]
Lurkers at a ramp are good for a lot of things but breaking a contain isn’t one of them.

Finally some mutas show up so I prepare for my second big bust attempt.
[image loading]
Obviously I’m afraid of his marine + medic + tank + firebat + vulture + goliath army, but I man up and get ready to go.

It’s a really funky looking battle, but I end up on the better end of it.
[image loading]
If you want I can coach you to macro as well as me.

At long last, I’m able to take a third. Meanwhile I poke around with my 4~ mutas.
[image loading]
Oh how I wish I had the Paint skills as whoever drew that mutalisk. TT Credit to Sushiman for making the picture and Oxidized for finding the source. =)

After sitting and macroing for a few minute, I push out on the map. He does the same (with another silly looking army) and we clash in the middle.
[image loading]
Its hard to play when you have to keep thinking “Why are these units together?! Wtf wtf wtf wtf …"

I once again got the better end of the fight but had to sit and macro a bit more before going for another attack.
[image loading]
I engage with my mutalisks and lurkers despite my hydras (AKA most of my army) having not caught up yet because I fuckin’ get it

It’s close but I manage to break his front.
[image loading]
All thanks to my pristine macro!

With an SCV pull he cleans me up and I’ve got no reinforcements streaming in, so it looks like he stabilized.
[image loading]
He didn’t, I’ve got a flock of imbaimbas on the way!

My imbaimbas hatch and he’s painfully short on things that shoot up.
[image loading]
So he dies.

Finally, he leaves the game without a GG.
[image loading]
I’m sure he was just angry that the game went past 8 minutes.


So that’s my story! Going forward I want to work on conveying the game in much less pictures. It was so long. TT But I hope you enjoyed! =)

I went ahead and included the replay this time(thanks to 3FFA for the idea) if you’re interested. It is here: http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=43335

If anybody wants to play a game, hit me up on iCCup under the ID “Bibbit”. Right now I’m only really focused on ZvT but I’ll move to the other match ups eventually so just add me or throw your ID in here. ^^

Heh yesterday I started a game with this really scary guy from here on TL. I looked up his iccup profile and he was B with a record of like 60-10 one season. His friend who was observing lagged though and he was too manner to abandon his friend so we didn't end up actually playing. I'm sure that woulda ended real well for me. =)

Dude. Thanks for the honorable mention . Consider doing the Pic of the map version of repdepot for shiny pic link ^^

"and a fucking goliath" "wtf?!?" lol...

Also, you should've seen what my older brother used to play like. He did Blood Bath a lot early on(back in 1990's). He got beat in a lot of games by terran tank/marine contain. Hydras fail so much yet everyone loves trying to beat tanks with hydra/lurk. I mean lurk=Zerg's invisible tank right?

Also, I was going to correct something... then I forgot T.T

edit: and then.... I REMEMBERED ImbaImbas are actually larva you fool lol.

edit2: I woke up my brother with my laughing. He just looked at my screen and hit me. I think I deserved that .

Heh, kinda impressive remembering the imbaimbas. But an imbaimba is whatever the hell I want it to be at the time. =)

If you see terran 1 base, it's actually still better to go muta over lurker

Heh yeah I realized that about half way through playing the game (about when I put down my spire, in fact). :D

@XXGeneration, For one small line, that was pretty inspiring in a weird way! Thank you. =) Like a year and a half ago when I used to play, the best I ever managed to do was get up to 1700~ points. Never managed to get that D+. I was terran at the time but meh.

@don_kyuhote, Do what you gotta do, because I'm coming after you bro. :D
