This game was a PvP with me against a D+ player who was just one more win away to being C-. Let's just see how today's episode will unfold
+ Show Spoiler +
I am the teal protoss while he is the light blue.
The game begins with me opening with a 2 gate.
Due to his luck, he manages to scout me on first attempt and responds by getting himself a second gate and stopping gas mining.
Having a clear intention of deceiving him, I make a proxy battery just to assure him that I'm putting everything that I've got into this push, forcing him to delay his tech even further.
I go ahead and poke his ramp and we soon engage in a battle.
He having the superior army wins this battle and I helplessly retreat.
Meanwhile, I got my DT tech up and running while he was still stuck at goon tech.
The proxy battery serves its purpose in tricking him to my all-in and delays his attack on me.
At this point however, I'm way behind in army count. He has more healthier lots than I do and has dragoons too...
as compared to..
He goes in for an attack but by this time, both my DTs have arrived.
He was still oblivious to my DTs and went straight for an attack. I send one DT to his base and used the other to help fend off the attack. Due to his superior army size, I am dwindled down to nothing but a zealot, goon and a DT.
With a huge army advantage, he charges for my main nexus.
He takes it down and I managed to take out that splinter group with probes and my small army. By this time, my nat nexus is already up and he tries to go in to kill it but to no avail
While all that turmoil was happening, it would seem that I was doomed for defeat. But that wouldn't be so because we had forgotten about the DT that would become a hero today.
With almost all but 5 probes and his army killed, I lead with a huge advantage as still having a large majority of my probes and a nat nexus up and running with gas.
I muster up a small force and charge for his nat.
I try to charge up his ramp but retreat due to the presence of a reaver
In a desperate move, he sends in his shuttle with a reaver to try and pick off my probes at my nat.
I deflect it with 3 goons in my nat but also send in 2 goons to his retreat path in an attempt to pick it off.
I succeed!
With his reaver harass a total disaster, I charge in for the kill with the force that I had made. He only has a goon and a reaver at the ramp.
He tries to fend it off by dragging in his probes but realises that its hopeless and concedes.

So an end to another great episode of my adventures in ICCup. I plan on updating this series more and hopefully make it to C- this season!
