mOOnGLaDe vs Socke

Game 1

Ok, we have GLaDe’s first game in the IEM here, in Xel’Naga Caverns. Starting off in the top right, he goes for a 13 gas and 14 pool, as Socke decides to wall up in his main, starting off with a 13 Gateway and gas. Socke’s scouting probe is ignored and is allowed to scout in GLaDe’s base, but it isn’t that big of a deal.

As GLaDe goes for the 16 Hatch, Socke’s probe distracts him and blocks his expansion with a pylon, as GLaDe uses the extractor trick to keep his drone production while he pushes out an Overlord. As GLaDe’s first two Zerglings go to work on the still constructing pylon, Socke’s wall consisting of a Pylon, Cyber Core, Gateway and a Zealot is completed. Ling speed is researching, Chrono being used on Warp Gate research. GLaDe’s hatch is finally finished and he sees Socke building up a force of mostly Sentries and a couple of Zealots, mainly because Hallucination is being researched for Socke. GLaDe’s all ling force rushes in right when Socke is building his expo at his natural, but is chased away by the sheer number of sentries before he can force the cancel. He rushes in to try and kill the Nexus again, but is easily pushed back, Socke’s forge finishing up as Socke’s Phoenix hallucination sees the Roach Warren, as it’s researching Roach speed and the Lair is researching burrow.

As mOOnGLaDe expands to his third behind the rocks, Socke’s force of mostly Sentries and Stalkers, with a couple of Zealots, kills the ling at each Watch Tower and pulls back, forcing Roach production. However, GLaDe pushes forward with his lings and roaches, trying to surround the Stalkers, but forcefields block the incoming roaches, and GLaDe is forced to burrow. In the start of fight, however, the robo is completed and an Observer is produced soon after, letting Socke kill of GLaDe’s lings. GLaDe’s forces are now mostly Roaches, but Socke has one Immortal up, GLaDe falls back.
GLaDe has now begun production of a Hydra den, while Socke has begun production of a Robo Bay. GLaDe’s reinforcements of mostly Roaches have arrived, and he pushes once more. Once again, he fails, and falls back, as Socke builds... another Robo Bay?! Ok then. GLaDe has a nice force of Hydras, Roaches and Lings, but Socke pushes forward with his Immortal/Gateway army as he expands to the gold.

GLaDe pushes out when Hydra’s upgrade is complete and Spire is starting to build as Socke is just finishing his second Collosus and range upgrade. GLaDe cannot push into the gold due to the army and mass of cannons, and tries to fall back, but Socke pushes too hard and demolishes GLaDe’s army, with the only major damage to the Collosi being done by Socke’s own immortal. GG by GLaDe.

mOOnGLaDe 0-1 Socke

Game 2

Lost Temple now, Socke spawning at 3 while GLaDe spawns at 6. Gas and Pool going up at 14 as well as Socke’s Gateway and Gas. Once again, Socke slows the expansion with a pylon, but is quickly dealt with. GLaDe tries to smash into Socke’s walloff with a large force of lings, but is easily defended. Socke now has 4 warpgates up when GLaDe’s expo Hatch is created. GLaDe builds to lair while Socke is now building a Stargate and pushing his army to his natural, and expands. Spine Crawlers are being made for GLaDe while Socke starts sniping overlords with his new Phoenix. A Forge goes up while GLaDe builds an Evo Chamber and Hydra Den, and starts Hydra range, and Phoenix cause a bit of damage with Phoenix Harass and builds double robo and a Robo Bay while GLaDe is getting ready to expand at the gold, and building a Spire. A Sac overlord sees the double robo and Socke takes this as his time to push out, with 3 Collosi, 1 Immortal and a medium gateway army, it looks bad for GLaDe’s Hydra/Ling army, with Roaches and Corrupters just about to join the army.

The armies engage, and poor forcefields by Socke do nothing to stop most of GLaDe’s force to attack, and his new Corrupters manage to do their job and kill all of Socke’s Phoenix and Collosus, and Socke is forced to pull back, but he manages to get some Zealots into GLaDe’s gold expo, and manages to wipe out all workers there before being taken down.

Socke now has expanded to his gold while beginning to mass more Collosi. GLaDe tries to push forward before too many Collosi join the army, but with 4 there, he pulls back and tries to expand to 3 O-Clock’s natural, but Socke has a pylon there, and sends Zealots to attack the Hatch while he pushes forward with his army. In preparation for the attack, GLaDe does not cancel his Hatch and loses it.

The second big fight occurs, and, once again, poor FF’s lose the fight for Socke, all of his Collosi picked off by Corrupters and Roach reinforcement proving too strong for Socke, and his army is wiped out, as well as his proxy pylon. Socke has now gone to Immortal production, leaving GLaDe’s Corrupters nothing to do but Corrupte. Socke’s Twilight Council, which has done nothing for a while now, is now allowing the production of a Templar Archives, while GLaDe successfully expands to his fourth while trying to creep up Socke’s fourth, but fails as Socke expands there easily.

Seven Immortals are on the field, looking scary for GLaDe’s mostly Roach force, but he expands to the 3 o’clock base, making that his 5th. The third big battle occurs, with GLaDe’s Corrupters trying to act like meatshields, while Socke places some ineffective storms and FF’s, hitting the roaches and still allowing GLaDe’s forces to attack easily. Socke also manages his HT’s poorly, allowing them to walk right into GLaDe’s army, and thus, can only make one archon. Socke manages to hold, but it is hollow victory, as GLaDe quickly masses up a force of Roaches and pushes Socke’s weaker army. His one immortal, few HT’s and a Stalker force is not a match for the Roaches, and his two brand new Collosi is destroyed by the 4 Corrupters Socke ignored. GLaDe take out Socke’s newest expansion, and his gold, and after wiping out Socke’s weak final defence, he calls GG.

mOOnGLaDe 1-1 Socke

Game 3

Spawning on Metalopolis, GLaDe at 6, Socke at 3, close positions, once again, getting gas, pool and gateways at the usual times. Socke scouts GLaDe first, but judging how fast he got there, GLaDe knew where Socke was, and hits Socke with early lings, managing to kill a pylon that formed part of the walloff before being forced to pull back. Socke rebuilds the wall further back with another pylon and a gateway, while GLaDe takes the freedom to reinforce his contain with more zerglings and expo to his natural. Socke pushes a little forward with his Zealot and Stalker, and mOOnGLaDe’s Zerglings pounce! They manage to sneak past the zealot as it tries to pull back to form the walloff and cause heavy damage to both the Stalker and the Zealot before more Zergling reinforcements arrive and kill off the Zealot. A Probe tries to completely block off but Zerglings interrupt as they rush off into the base and kill of the Stalker. Unfortunately, there were only two, and easily killed. But then, more Zerglings arrive and snipe off the building Gateway, and Socke’s one Sentry is not enough to deter the attack. Socke tries to build back his wall, but his warping in Forge and Gateway is killed off, and GLaDe’s mass of Zerglings overwhelm Socke’s 2 Zealots and one Sentry, and that is GG, GLaDe wins!

mOOnGLaDe 2-1 Socke


mOOnGLaDe wins!

mOOnGLaDe vs Squirtle

Game 1

Close by air on Metalopolis, GLaDe at 9, Squirtle at 6. GLaDe’s gas and pool and Squirtle’s Gateway going down on 13. Both players scout each other and GLaDe goes straight to Ling Speed, while Squirtle starts on his Cybercore. Glade then expands, while Squirtle throws out two more Gateways, then expands and sticks his mainly Sentry force outside his natural.

GLaDe now upgrades to Lair and places an evo chamber and a spine crawler down, while pushing forward with his Zerglings. Squirtle now builds a Stargate and a proxy pylon while GLaDe pokes the front, and falls back quickly. However, instead of letting the zerglings run away, he pursues them with his superior force of sentries and zealots. However, the zerglings easily run away while GLaDe gets a Roach Warren underway. Squirtle then scouts with his proxy building probe, doesn’t see anything interesting, but builds a Void Ray from his Stargate and lays a Forge down.

GLaDe, meanwhile, is getting Roach speed, +1 missile attack and burrow. Squirtle’s Void ray cause some damage, but nothing amazing, as he now starts pumping out Phoenixes. His gateway army is lacklustre. GLaDe decides to push hard with his zerglings and Roaches, and builds a Hydra den, as Squirtle starts to build a Robo. GLaDe ignores the Void Ray hitting his advancing army, and pushes into Squirtle’s natural. Squirtle pulls out some great forcefields in this battle, but since he has no robo or cannons up at this point, GLaDe simply burrows his forces. After the forcefields are gone, GLaDe rolls over Squirtle’s weak Gateway army, despite the Void Ray causing a lot of damage, and causes heavy losses to the mineral line. Eventually, Squirtle holds, but he is in trouble, and GLaDe has built up a Hydra/Ling force, as well as expanding to his 3rd and building an extra Hatch in his natural and Hydra range.

Squirtle starts up his Robo Bay, as GLaDe starts moving his force forward. As Squirtle’s Robo Bay just finishes and he starts building Collosus, GLaDe pushes his massive force of Hydras/Roaches/Zerglings start pushing into Squirtle’s base and, with his small gateway force and 1 Immortal, is easily rolled over by GLaDe’s force, the Collosus coming out too late. The GG comes soon after the Collosus rolls out.

mOOnGLaDe 1-0 Squirtle

Game 2

Spawning on Blistering Sands, GLaDe at top right, Squirtle at bottom left. GLaDe’s gas, pool and Squirtle’s Gateway both go down at 14, while Squirtle’s gas goes down at 15. GLaDe’s initial scout slightly stops Squirtle’s Cyber going down, and then moves into Squirtle’s base and steals his gas. As Squirtle sends two Probes and a Zealot to kill of the Extractor, GLaDe manages to sneak two Zerglings into Squirtle’s base and gets a surround on Squirtle’s only Zealot, killing it and forcing 7 Probes off the line to defend.

GLaDe takes his natural while sending more Zerglings into the fight to pick off a pylon (Which doesn’t go down), while Squirtle only has a Sentry on the field. He ends up having to pull 11 Probes off the line to defend. A forcefield from the dying Sentry stops some reinforcements coming in while a Zealot come out onto the field. GLaDe’s inbase Zerglings go to work attacking pylons, but are surrounded by probes and taken down. Squirtle manages to wall off with a Zealot and get another one, but GLaDe’s Zerglings are ripping down the Gateway part of the wall. Squirtle builds two Gateways, and then builds a pylon and a Gateway to wall off after the first gateway goes down. Zerglings, however, take down the warping in gateway and swarm in Squirtle’s base. Squirtle ends up sending 11 more Probes to defend, but it is not enough to stem the flow of Zerglings rushing into his base. A makeshift Zealot block is wiped out by Zerglings, and as they all smash into Squirtle’s base, he has no choice but to GG. mOOnGLaDe wins!

mOOnGLaDe 2-0 Squirtle

mOOnGLaDe wins!!
