After getting trashed by a random toss just because he's playing toss and I can't play against toss, I met this Terran. The Terran that I'm going to tell the tale of, right now.
OK so here is the battle report. A big wall of text with lotsnlots of pictures and shit is in the spoiler tags, open at your own peril.
+ Show Spoiler +
Well, here is another Battle Report, again a ZvT because ZvZ is rarely a Battle Report material and I suck at ZvP.
So I start at top right and he starts at bottom left. Good news for me, I like cross spawns.
Look at my APM, my APM is amazing
I went 12 hatch whereas he went for a 1 rax CC. Standard piece of shit. I only make 1 set of lings until my mutas come out while trying to defend anything and everything with 3 sunkens. At least works at my level.
Dude, you're not being heterosexual with your scout
Anyway, I decide to keep the shit standard and show him my monster muta micro, which ends up being actually monster level. At least we can consider it that way in red ranks.
So I'll be constructing myself for 100 seconds while leaving a timing window for my opponent to exploit
Meanwhile, he's trying to commence the phase 1 of his 2 phase master plan:
1- "Well, as I suck at defending mutalisk shit, I'll go for pre-muta timing"
2- "If I win with that, I celebrate. If I don't, I'll throw some production buildings and shit and push at random timings"
I don't know which one is worse. Me having zero preparation to this shit or forgetting to turn off the APM counter so now I can't trick TL into thinking that I have 300+ APM.
When I scouted it, he was already on his way with stim finished, everything set for a pre-muta timing. Unlike him though, I had nothing set, just started sunkens after seeing him moving out, crossing the bridge.
Plz construct twice as fast this time. I'll need you like... Right now?
As you know, they take a while in order to get themselves constructed and then turn into actual sunkens. He was there while my sunkens were just morphing.
So this is the end of this game?
Of course not, silly you. Why would I blog about a random loss to a pre-mutalisk timing?
Well, I killed all his shit and now and time to show him the infamous zerg MM: Muta Micro. Monster level one tbh.
Hi SCVs, bye SCVs. Recommend us to your friends too, Thanks!
The best time to make lurkers is the time you're killing his shit with mutas.
I'm not crazy, my name isn't Force[Name] either. I have to make lurkers to survive T attacks
So I killed like 10-ish SCVs in his nat along with 4-5 turrets, a few marines and a medic, just in the natural.
Hey look, we're being cost-efficient here!
He goes for a push of some marines and some vultures, accompanied by a medic, again.
Deenieed
The most difficult part of the push is to understand what it is. That was easily 800-900 minerals that went down to 18 lings and leftover mutas. Replay shows me that it is a 3rax-3fact timing push that aims to hit right after my lurker tech kicks in.
Well, I said I would build shit and shit and hope for the best
At the same time, I was looking for opportunities to squueze my opponent more and more
Well, my defiler control sucks, so guardians it is
Here is the part that I suicide my entire army into Terran army before defilers are ready.
Hey, let's throw a well earned win!
While I was suiciding my main army, I was attacking his natural worker line, or rather turret line, with my guardians, which were eventually cleared by wraiths without doing damage, and the worst part is: He is preparing a drop to my 3rd and I have no idea about it.
Dropshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, uhh I mean Dropshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!!
While I continue suiciding my army, my hatchery gets damaged more and more.
I said my defiler control sucks
Somehow, I clear the drops without losing my hatch. Then I turn it into a lair.
Thanks for not targetting my hatchery, you just threw i guess.
After some more suiciding armies into each other, fail defilers and shit, he goes for one last push...
Plzplzplz dance all your hydraling in our range so that I can actually win
That gets stopped ice cold right outside his natural.
GEE GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~! OAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~!

Props:
1- Me being able to keep my money low. My unit count was not that high but that was because my drone count wasn't high in the first place.
2- My muta micro. They really did more than I initially anticipated they would.
3- My mindset: I generally would get thrown off by half of this shit.
Slops:
1- Opponent banking +3k minerals in no time, despite being on 2 bases, getting SCVs killed and being forced a good number of turrets.
2- The army suicide. I should quit doing these.
3- The amount of drones I had in my 3rd and 4th were really really low. Despite having a good macro and shit, I never really had the unit count.
4- My guardians and defilers. Both of them should and were supposed to do a lot more than this.
Thanks for reading (or scrolling down). You don't need to thank me for the scroll finger exercise though.
