i came into mlg raleigh at 900ish. i got knocked out the first day, but I had a freaking blast at raleigh. Drinking and just being around sc2 people who you can talk and listen to. Winning is just a cool bonus, for a non pro that is. I work full time, this is part of my vacation for the year, the MLG trips.

I got dominated

Drew CatZ first round, and then a protoss named cavo second round. Took one game off each but lost in the first two rounds.

Game 1 vs CatZ, he 8pooled in to fast banelings and killed all my workers. I lost.
Game 2, we both 13pooled. His banelings killed most of my workers, but he wasn't prepared for the roaches I was saving up for and I pushed in and won. Kinda got lucky- my rock beat his paper.
Game 3, I 6pooled. Built a spine crawler in his base but was defending it instead of harassing drones. He defended it well and I was super all-in. I lost.

Game 1 vs Cavo, he did 1gate/robo in to fast fast fast collosus. I went mass roach. We went in to a base trade situation where I had to kill 1 base when he had to kill 2. By the time he killed my natural, I had enough roaches in my main to hold off. I won.
Game 2, he did early 2gate mass zealots, I went with an old (and not very good) all-in 10pool ling build. Massed a million lings and didn't kill as many probes as I had wanted to. Tried some funny stuff to kill more workers but failed, and eventually his zealot numbers were too high. Tried to tech to roaches but it was too late and I lost.
Game 3, I fast expanded and droned too hard when he went for an early 1base 4gate push. Kinda punching myself because if I had made one less wave of drones and instead another wave of roaches, I probably would have held it off and won with a big eco advantage. Oh well.

Was fun times, though. Made a different blog post that talked about my experiences.
