[G] Challenges on Gold (Replays)

Send the ultralisks against the coloxen (colossuses). You can just attack move the ultra's across and if one of them starts getting low you can just pull it back and let the others do the work.

Send the zerglings against the immortal. The immortal has to attack each zergling twice to kill it. So all you have to do is burrow whichever zergling that the immortal attacks. I found it was easy to do this if I hotkeyed all the zerglings to 1 and then just pressed 1, clicked on whichever zergling portrait turned orange and then pressed R and repeat.

I sent all of the hydralisks and the infestor against the void rays. I found it was best to start with all of the hydralisks burrowed near the edge of the area that the void rays come from. I would then spawn 8 infested terrans with the infestor and once the void rays were attacking the eggs / terrans I would unburrow the hydralisks under the void rays. From here I used the same hotkey as with the zerglings, simply burrowing any hydralisk that got too low.

I sent the roaches against the zealots. It's quite easy to just burrow any roaches that get attacked then unburrow them. If you have trouble here you can burrow all your roaches, let the zealots walk towards the spire, then unburrow and get some more attacks off.

I used mutalisks + the infestor against the void rays, again using infested terrans to take damage at the start and simply pulling any mutalisk that gets focused away.

This left the 2 ultralisks against the stalkers which you can pretty much just attack move and maybe pull one ultralisk away if it gets focused too much.

I used the ultralisks and the infestor against the stalkers+ immortals. Burrowed the ultralisks on the edge of the area where the protoss units come from and used the infestor to neural parasite one immortal which would attack the other one. I would then unburrow the ultralisks behind the stalkers and simply attack them.

I went for roaches + broodlords against the archons and zealots. I just used everything to attack the archons, burrowing roaches when needed and then left the broodlords to clean up all the zealots. This is another one where it is useful to burrow all the roaches, let the protoss units move towards the spire then unburrow and continue attacking.

Corruptors against carriers shouldn't really need any explanation.

Hellions against zerglings is easy.

I used the marines, medivacs and ghost against the mutalisks and this was easily the hardest battle out of all of them. I started by cloaking the ghost and quickly using snipe to kill one mutalisk and damage another as they moved towards my forces. I kept everything else behind the supply depot so mutalisks would attack the depot first. Then I would stim and send all the marines and medivacs towards the mutalisks. I found that the mutalisks would attack the medivacs first (which is what I wanted) so I would pull one back as it gets focused and then the other. Once both the medivacs have been pulled back the mutalisks will attacks the marines and now it is just a matter of picking up and marine that gets focuses into one of the medivacs.

It takes 8 banelings to kill a siege tank and there are only 7. So as long as you put the tank between the banelings and the depot you cannot fail.

I used the marauders and one medivac against the roaches. I would simply stim, and then pick up any marauder that gets focused with the medivac.

I used one siege tank and one medivac against the ultralisk. I picked up the tank with the medivac and waited for the ultralisk to being attacking the depot. I would then drop the tank, it would take one shot, the ultralisk would starting moving towards the tank so I would pick the tank up again. Once the ultralisk was far enough away I would repeat.

Using all but one tank and all the marines I simply sieged all the tanks behind the depot, and kept the marines behind my tank line. I would only use the marines right at the end once the hydralisks were mostly dead. I used the ghost here to snipe some of the hydralisks.

I used roughly half of the vikings and all of the hellions against the broodlords + zerglings. Nothing to explain here.

The other half of the vikings + the thors went against the mutalisks. I made sure to spread the thors out in a line first so they wouldn't bump into each other if I needed to pull one back. I also waited for the mutalisks to start attacking the thors before sending the vikings in.

Using all the tanks, marauders, medivacs and the ghost I simply made a tank line behind the depot with my marauders and medivacs behind the tanks. I cloaked the ghost and used snipe on as many hydralisks as possible as they moved towards me. I waited for the hydralisk numbers to fall from the tank fire before sending the marauders forward to finish the roaches.

I sent the stalkers against the hellions which is an easy fight with some simple blink micro.

I used 3 of the coloxen (colossuses) against the marines. I set them up on the cliff north of the pylon and just let the marines fire at each one in turn pulling them back when they get low. You have to make sure that the marines can see at least one colossus or they will go kill the pylon.

The zealots and the remaining coloxen went against the marauders and the trick here was just to pull damaged zealots back quickly. I also used a sentry to hallucinate 2 archons which to take some of the initial marauder fire.

The immortals will easily kill the tanks, just be careful to pull one back once it's shield goes down since it will die quickly.

I went with void rays + the high templar against the battlecruisers using feedback on the battlecruisers.

This left the carriers against the thors. This will quite and easy fight as long as you take the time to spread the carriers out before it starts so they don't all get hit by splash. It takes so long for a carrier to die that you have plenty of time to pull one away as it gets damaged.

I sent the stalkers and the zealots against the battlecruiser and vikings. Here I sent the stalkers in focusing the battlecruiser and once the vikings started to land attack moved in with the zealots. A little basic blink stalker micro is required to keep them all alive so I would suggest saving blink to retreat with rather than using at the start.

I used the phoenixes and immortals against the marauders and tanks. Spammed graviton beam on the tanks and the immortals could take care of the marauders + tanks which were on the ground with minimal micro.

This left everything else to go up against the hellions and reapers. I used the sentry to hallucinate 2 archons which I sent in first with my real archons right behind. I used two storms to hit the reapers and the archons + coloxen made short work of the hellions.
