I'm bored and I'm sure others are too so here goes. Of course there wasen't a live stream for the race wars, there couldn't have been, unless we had like 16 live streams going...
So I'm going to show you the 5 games I play in the race wars(as Terran). Enjoy
+ Show Spoiler [Game 1 TvP] +

[image loading]

Othello, he spawns as orange toss at 1, I spawn as red terran at 10. As we chat I find out Jonoman92 is 4 ranks higher than me.. O_O
[image loading]

I'm going to have to cheese if I want to win.. I see he went 1 gate rng tech so I decide to do an FD variation, with my fact proxied outside his nat.
[image loading]

He took a while to scout, as he scouted clockwise and found me last, but when he gets there I just missed blocking my ramp to deny his probe, but he got in anyway =/
[image loading]

Trying to trick him, and play myself off a major noob, I place my 2nd factory in my main, hoping he would think it is my first and that I am going 1 fact FE, not sure how well that worked...
[image loading]

My proxy fact finishes, immediately I start building a siege tank and researching mines for my push.
[image loading]

Oh shi.. he moved out before my tank is out, and my tank is going to spawn away from my base while my marines are dying.
[image loading]

First vulture is done, and mines are almost done, I was aiming for some kind of boxer mine trap but it didn't work out well...
[image loading]

Hurry up siege tank! I need you!!!
[image loading]

Yesyesyes! Tank saves the day, time to continue the push!
[image loading]

Meanwhile Jonomans 1 gate tech was a reaver drop, shuttle is out and reaver is building while I close in on his base..
[image loading]

As he is on his way to my base my reinforcements(a marine and a vult) spot his shuttle, and run back to my base to see whats up.
[image loading]

Shit.. there goes my SCV..
[image loading]

And some more... I really have no where to run them to actually. No clue what to do in this situation..
[image loading]

As siege mode finishes I continue pushing up his ramp with my tanks and vultures
[image loading]

They got farther than I thought, but my economy is weak, I can't reinforce my contain/push.
[image loading]

And that's the last of it, time to work on my mid-late game strategy now.
[image loading]

While I do that though, I may as well try to stall him as long as I can...
[image loading]

At this point I feel safe enough to move out and take my 3rd
[image loading]

[image loading]

Bad idea I guess...
[image loading]

I believe this is a 'bulldog' or something? 2 base toss using shuttles to break the terran? Whatever it was, it worked pretty well
[image loading]

Liftoff gogogo! C'mon CC, fly!!!
[image loading]

Here comes his 3rd, I can't do anything about it
[image loading]

Still pushing into my nat! D= I'm scared!
[image loading]

I kind of forgot to macro for a good minute or so.. I had like 1 tank back there to defend. time to pull SCV's.
[image loading]

Fucking shuttles....
[image loading]

And I tap out. 1-0 Jonoman92. Time for next game!


+ Show Spoiler [Game 2 TvP] +
Only two spots on Destination, I spawn at the top as orange terran, Jonoman spawns at the bottom as purple protoss
[image loading]

His turn to proxy I guess... he places a pylon right behind my nats minerals.
[image loading]

I scout after my depot, but I pass by without seeing his pylon or probe to the right
[image loading]

I was building a wall!!! It was going to be perfect! FUCKING PYLON!
[image loading]

And here comes his first zealot along with his probe, I have nothing out yet.
[image loading]

He takes a few of my scv's, but the first zealot starts to go down! Bunker is going up! Ez defending, I'm alright now.
[image loading]

Sort of...
[image loading]

Too bad he's smart enough to realize I can't protect my scv's mining
[image loading]

Micro can only take you so far, and another pylon going up just south of my CC
[image loading]

I tried to bust out all my moves, but the zeals keep coming and my wall isn't really a wall.
[image loading]

Alright so 2/3 my scv's are dead, back to mining and camping in the bunker I guess...
[image loading]

Oh wait... my scv's need to be protected don't they...?
[image loading]

Nothing's going right for me in this game...
[image loading]

And I gg. That's 2-0 Jonoman, he wins the bo3.

Since our zerg didn't show up we had to find a replacement, after a while I hooked up with Atrioc to TvZ with him.
+ Show Spoiler [Game 3 TvZ] +
Othello, I start out at 9 as purple terran, Atrioc starts out at 1 as yellow zerg
[image loading]

He starts out with a standard 12 hatch FE
[image loading]

I use 1 rax FE but figure I would screw with him and put up a bunker at his nat
[image loading]

Not a very strong or all-in bunker rush, it goes down pretty fast
[image loading]

He lost some mining time and a drone or two but nothing huge, he defends it and I run my marine and scv back to my base
[image loading]

Muahaha I see you overlord! Can't hide up on that cliff!
[image loading]

Oops, I kind of got carried away with chasing it, marines aren't positioned!
[image loading]

Shit! They are in my main now... I don't have a good feeling about this...
[image loading]

Took a bit to rid my main of speedlings but I think i've got myself back on track. After all I have a bunker coming up
[image loading]

I wish they built a little faster... Here come more speedlings
[image loading]

I have no chance now, may as well save my energy for game two =/

+ Show Spoiler [Game 4 TvZ] +
Destination, he spawns as red zerg on the top and I spawn as orange terran at the bottom.
[image loading]

He opens with a overpool speedling build
[image loading]

And I do another 1rax FE
[image loading]

Wtf!?!? Sneaky Drone!!
[image loading]

Oh... I see what you are trying to do now..
[image loading]

While he was running his lings to my base I got my scouting scv to build a depot at his nat, it stalls his expo for a while until his zerglings run back to clean it up.
[image loading]

AHA! If you look closely you can still see...
[image loading]

That fucking drone again!
[image loading]

Bitch please.
[image loading]

I continue with my tech and go for the early MnM push
[image loading]

Not sure if his lair will be up in time to deal with this! We shall see...
[image loading]

Wtf? LOL I just noticed he randomly killed the fucking bear in the middle of the map haha
[image loading]

Maybe cause he won't be getting any marine meat with this coming at him
[image loading]

Spire is done, muta's are morphing!!! GOGOGO hurry up mutas!
[image loading]

Shit!! Sunkens are going down!
[image loading]

Eek! better pull drones!
[image loading]

Muta's are his only chance now, I hope his micro is good. D=
[image loading]

Looks like he might be okay now, I got to admit, his muta micro ain't half bad... =o
[image loading]

Unfortunately I have more on the way.
[image loading]

The natural is going to go down! Yay! Die Zerrrrrrrrrrrg!
[image loading]

GG
Atrioc 1-1, Time for the tie breaker!

Alright! Final Match!
I'm 1-3, the best I can get here is 2-3 if I win this.
+ Show Spoiler [Game 5 TvZ] +
Final game is on Colloseum II
I spawn as red terran at 1, he spawns as purple zerg at 7.
[image loading]

He open's overpool speedlings
[image loading]

And I opened 2rax
[image loading]

After scouting his early pressure I lay down a bunker below my CC
[image loading]

Should be done in time =D
[image loading]

I took a good 200hp off that extractor with my scv before he killed it, I was pretty happy about that for some reason
[image loading]

I didn't think it would be wise to take my natural without having MnM to defend it so I went fast academy.
[image loading]

[image loading]

Good thing too, he kept running in and picking off lone marines/buildings/scvs
[image loading]

Oh fuck... I totally forgot about that random neutral sunken outside my base. fucking ally creep. I will admit this is the first time I've gotten sunken rushed as a terran ~_~
[image loading]

Shit. I need to do something fast or I'm majorly fucked...
[image loading]

lol I'm really not sure why I pulled all those scv's.. I didn't even use them
[image loading]

Bah! Though he could flank me with 2 lings from up there? I think not!
[image loading]

He's going to have lurkers or muta's soon, I need tech! D=
[image loading]

Is it just me or does this matchup on this map remind you of starship troopers(movie).....?
[image loading]

Good ol' cliff advantage ;D
[image loading]

Uh oh, muta's are out! His muta micro is scary
[image loading]

I think I should be able to hold if I take my natural...
[image loading]

Yeah.. I'm going to need reinforcements...
[image loading]

Here we are.
[image loading]

I don't know wtf happened to my medics here, I swear I had a few... those rines died fast.
[image loading]

Along with the tank..
[image loading]

Save me vessel!
[image loading]

Once again my medics are gone... And my scv's are disseapearing too o.o
[image loading]

I should have remembered to get an ebay T_T
[image loading]

Or not ;D
[image loading]

Unfortunately he picked out the irradiated one pretty fast. Props on taht >_<
[image loading]

Oooo my turn to be sneaky.
[image loading]

Fuck! My vessel!
[image loading]

Counter-harass!
[image loading]

And time to finish this..
[image loading]

My micro ain't bad either
[image loading]

[image loading]

And GG

+ Show Spoiler +
I lost 2-3 Overall
0-2 TvP vs Jonoman92
2-1 TvZ vs Atrioc

For the most part it was supposed to be a fake-bunker rush just to get him to pull scv's but then I just took it a little farther.

Cool blog, I liked re-living our fun bo3. That first game I did think that the factory in your main was coming up pretty late but I figured maybe you just messed up or something. Now it all makes sense!
