The game begins normally, with the protoss sending one of his six original probes towards my base, for seemingly benign reasons.

Completely normal.
OR SO IT SEEMED. While I was busy reading my 10rax reaper rush, Proberto had a more sinister plan in mind.

ZOMG
What's a gold league terran to do? Get out of there, that's what!
![[image loading]](http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2994/screenshot007jy.jpg)
Cripes, let's get out of here!
So I pick up everything, leaving his in-base forge, two pylons, and a cannon to sit unused and unwanted, while his probe gets an SCV-induced beatdown.

No more proxies for you, mister!
Remember the reaper rush? Yeah, that's still happening.
![[image loading]](http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/4535/screenshot009t.jpg)
The grim reaper has arrived.
![[image loading]](http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/747/screenshot010op.jpg)
Ah yes, the old no-gateway reaper defense.
![[image loading]](http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2860/screenshot011ja.jpg)
This is what I get for trying to macro and reaper harass with only 175 APM.
The protoss decides to take advantage of the preplanned failed-cannon-rush-into-no-gateway-reaper-defense 3 zealot timing push.

Clearly this was premeditated.
Unfortunately for him, Mr. Ghost has something to say about this.

20 damage against light vs. not even trying to attack.
A push and a counterpush later, protoss decides to go for a more standard transition, getting an expansion and preparing to macro up.
![[image loading]](http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/9282/screenshot019c.jpg)
More minerals for a bigger ground army, I suppose?
I had you for a second there didn't I? Of course he does something stupid!
![[image loading]](http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/943/screenshot020qe.jpg)
Void rays vs. marines and ghosts... I wonder how this will go?
I get ready to crush his ground army, unaware of the impending void ray push.
![[image loading]](http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6078/screenshot024sw.jpg)
PREPARE TO DIE, PROTOSS SCUM
![[image loading]](http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/273/screenshot022dn.jpg)
I have you now.
![[image loading]](http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3290/screenshot025h.jpg)
And so we begin... the most dangerous game.
He shows up at my base with void rays, and manages two supply depots and a couple of scvs before the army arrives.
![[image loading]](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4620/screenshot027n.jpg)
Nah.
![[image loading]](http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/5266/screenshot028yv.jpg)
Going for the ol' production buildings, eh?
After warding off the initial push, I finally get around to our old friends, the "in-base" forge, pylons, and cannon.
![[image loading]](http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2376/screenshot029tg.jpg)
Remember when you tried to kill me with this stuff? Good times, man.
He finds my "natural" expansion after a long period of ignorance, and decides to push onto it with his void rays.
![[image loading]](http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/5940/screenshot030b.jpg)
That army looks a bit small...
![[image loading]](http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/4930/screenshot031g.jpg)
Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47! IT'S A TRAP
After mercilessly slaughtering his void rays, I decide to take most of the accumulated army and attack his gold base, leaving behind a force to defend from any void ray harass.
![[image loading]](http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9400/screenshot032j.jpg)
This makes the Eagles defense look good.
He attempts to take the void rays he has been carefully constructing in his main and attack...
![[image loading]](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2689/screenshot033ju.jpg)
Who will win!?!
![[image loading]](http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8319/screenshot034y.jpg)
Cheater.
Finally, after so long, the battle had to be decided. Protoss had his army of zealot/immortal/void ray, while I had an army of marine/ghost. This is it. The final battle.
![[image loading]](http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3537/screenshot036.jpg)
[i]This is many zealot, yes?
![[image loading]](http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7593/screenshot037og.jpg)
[i]Hey, where'd they all go?
And so the Dominion is victorious over the protoss, despite their tricky tactics.
Also, Gretorp, thanks for coming up with a good counter to void ray harass which still packs a punch against the ground (especially zealots!).
