[HSL] South Colchester Academy: Week 3

Replay: http://drop.sc/75702

WreakingBall spawns in the top right, and eScNewking spawns in the bottom right. Wreakingball opens a standard 12 rax 13 gas, while Newking opts to go for a gas first build. Newking decides to build his second barracks inside Wreakingball's base using his scouting SCV.

Noticing that the scout hid in his base, WreakingBall rallies his first marine to go check out what it's up to, shutting down the proxy.

WreakingBall transitions into Blue Flame Hellions as he gets his starport up, while Newking goes into a 3 rax build, still not using any of his gas.

Both players decide to move into Siege Tank production at almost the same time.

WreakingBall moves out and lays siege to Newking's base, using his Raven and Vikings to spot the high ground.

WreakingBall's Blue Flame Hellions are able to make their way into the main. Lacking an army, Newking pulls all his SCVs to try to hold the push, while making cloaked banshees.

Newking loses all his SCVs, and is forced to leave the game. The cloaked banshees would not have done much, with a raven and vikings flying around.

WreakingBall had no comments.

Erzz spawns in the North while SquilleX spawns in the East, making it close air positions. Erzz spots the scout overlord with his SCV, so both players are aware of this. Erzz chooses to open with a reactor hellion expand, while SquilleX goes 14 hatch 14 pool.

SquilleX quickly tries to expand to the gold.

Upon getting 4 tanks, Erzz moves out. When he takes the tower, he spots the gold base. Erzz takes out the gold, and SquilleX is confused. Erzz tries to explain as he moves into SquilleX's natural.

Erzz sieges outside of SquilleX's natural, and Squillex attacks the force from both sides with his zerglings, killing two tanks and some marines.

SquilleX cleans up the push with Zerglings from the back and banelings from the front.

Some of SquilleX's drones are sad to see Erzz's marines go, so decide to follow them home.

The Terrans give the drones a warm welcome.

Erzz pushes out again. This time, SquilleX has some mutalisks.

SquilleX manages to get some nice banelings hits, but Erzz still has enough forces to destroy the natural expansion of SquilleX.

Erzz moves up into SquilleX's main. SquilleX's banelings kill most of the marines, but two are still left to spot the high ground.

With no units and his main under siege, SquilleX leaves the game.

Erzz's comments on the game: "Glad I could pull off a win for my team, but I'm still terrible. Floated so many resources."

Note: You may have noticed that NoGGSkill is using SquilleX's account. NoGGSkill was having problems with logging into his account, so I told them it would be okay if he played on one of his team mate's account. eSc talked to the admin and were allowed to do such, and SquilleX let him on.

The Average team spawned in the top right, while eSc's team spawned in the bottom left. The two Terran players go for standard openings. MegaKingMars went for an 8 pool, while AverageFeds did a gas pool opening.

MegaKingMars sends his first 6 zerglings to AverageFeds's base. AverageFeds defends with his drones...

...and doesn't lose anything except mining time.

Meanwhile, NoGGSkill was building bunkers in the main of AverageFeds.

AverageFeds decides to ignore them, and runs his zerglings past...

...and into NoGGSkill's base, since the depot turned out to be down.

NoGGSkill leaves almost instantly.

AverageFeds starts to attack the bunkers, while the Average team starts saying EZ into chat.

MegaKingMars decides to leave shortly after. That other orange building in AverageFeds's main is a barracks.
