Game one - Overgrowth:

I go for a proxy stalker rush, he scouts my main and is ready. I manage to contain him in his base for a while and go for DT tech. He already has observers and a big army with immortals so I keep the DTs back while expanding. My expand is up a bit earlier but he catches my army and I have very little left. Luolis moves out with the army and I sneak 2 DTs in. They arrive literally as the cannons are finishing and kill the cannons, forcing the whole army back. I take a hidden third, he takes his natural third around the same time. He pokes with a prism but doesn't get much done. I go for a big move out with archon/zealot/immortal and he tries to backstab with the prism but I have defensive DTs. I catch him at his third and kill him with a bigger army.

Game two - Deadwing:

I open proxy robo. He scouts my base first but misses the nexus and so I end up killing his probe before he can enter the main. I poke with 3 stalkers and he defends at the top of his ramp with stalkers (teching to blink). My immortal arrives and he holds me off with an overcharge and then good micro to kill the first immortal. He's getting his own immortals but I've contained him on 1 base while I have my natural. He sends out a prism but I have a MSC at home to defend and I bring back the rest of my army too. He gets aggressive with a big army and catches me mid-map with good forcefields. I manage to escape and defend with an overcharge. I start getting colossi and I take a hidden third at the top right. I warp in zealots to attack his natural but he hasn't made one so I send them to the mineral line instead. He probe pulls and attacks my natural but I hide behind the sim city with colossi and kill probes, pulling my own natural probes to cut off the immortal retreat path. His army dies and I kill him.

Game three - King Sejong Station:

I go 10 gate 3 gate and he scouts it with a probe. I poke with zealot/stalker but he already has 3 stalkers so he holds me off at the top of the ramp. I drop a proxy robo in case he makes DTs but when it becomes apparent he has more stuff I start making immortals. He has sentries so I can't push up the ramp. He drops a proxy pylon and sends zealots to my undefended mineral line. I pull probes for an allin. When it arrives, he pulls his probes too and has way too much stuff and crushes my army.

Game four - Catallena:

I send out an early probe hoping he's in the right position for me to be able to cannonrush. He is. I drop 3 cannons but he chronos out a zealot and pulls loads of probes to kill them all. I continue to overextend with cannons for a while before realising I have nothing left at home. I try to defensive 3 gate robo but he has much too much of a lead and he catches a stalker mid map before rolling into my undefended base. I try to get an overcharge down but all my probes are dead before I have any energy. He roflstomps it to 2-2.

Game five - Merry Go Round:

I open proxy stargate. He catches it with a bunch of early units and kills the pylon. I send in three stalkers which quickly get surrounded and killed, but I manage to get up another pylon and chrono out an oracle. He runs home to defend, so I get out another. I start teching to DT, hoping for a repeat of game one, but he has a massive army already including immortals. I get my natural down around the same time as him and take a hidden base at the other main. I keep trying to oracle harass but he has stalkers in both mineral lines. I get in a couple of lucky probe kills, but he reciprocates with prism harass in my base. I only have 2 or 3 units at this point, but he isn't pushing out so I'm managing to get a strong economic lead on 3 base. He eventually moves out to kill the stargate and I run in some DTs, but he already has cannons so that does nothing. Meanwhile, I'm chronoing out double robo immortal and I have about 12. He pushes across the map and I can't harass anymore, so I choke up the entrance of my base. He drops a few good forcefields and kills all my zealots, but I push through with 100billion immortals and start chasing him across the map with 2 colossi on the way and 10 gates. He tries some more zealot harass but I warp in defensive DTs. He's ready at home with a bunch of archons, immortals, zealots and stalkers, but the Immortal Love Parade rides on in and snipes the overcharged nexus. My army crushes through and ends the game. Immortal Imba.
