EPT
I got on for one quick game as a study break and it happened to be David Kim. It was only my second match after being placed in a platinum division (for those who don't know what this means: it was my second game that didn't involve me bashing some newb and learning nothing)
Summary:
+ Show Spoiler +
Map: Lost Temple. It was strikingly similar to a BW game. He was Z and FE'd and I did some quick Zealot harrass from 1 gate, then he tried some Roach/Ling harrass a little later that I fend off with a few Zealots, then I got obs to see what he's doing.
I saw that he was still just on Roach/Ling so I went Zealot/Colossus (no idea if this works at all) and sent my obs around map to check for hidden expansions. When I'm ready to attack, Mutas fly in to my base. I attack his base, destroy his army, kill all (both) his hatcheries, all his drones. He saves his base with the mutas after killing most of my probes. I build stalkers while the mutas are away but turns out they are horrible against mutas.
I haven't watched the rep but I think he put Spire down right after my obs left his base. I definitely should have kept my obs looking around as long as possible and delegated map scouting to a probe.
I don't know how many phoenix/cannon (or whatever the most defense is) I would've needed to survive his mutas. Might be that I was doomed no matter what or it might be I could've tweaked my build to prevent mutas from doing any damage (though I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to go on offense with Zealot/Colossi).
Super fun to play a game and have so much to learn. Can't wait to start figuring things out. Gotta wait about a week before I can put that kinda time into it though
