Trouble in PvZ land

I'm having trouble with mutalisk harassment in PvZ lately. I,m trying to control the muta flock with canon coverage and psy-storm.. it work some time, but i felt like the mutalisk flock have ton's of map control.. which mean that the zerg can expand as much as they want.. i cannot drop because the mutalisk can catch it.. some people suggested that i use blink stalker. I will train more for the time being =D Hopefully i can find the answer.

Da mother ship!

It's had been a long time before i can update my 1 v 1. luckily im still top 25, trying to make it till top 8.. hoping next season I will get promoted. So here a thing, I want to do something new in my PvT, instead of 1 gate expand i want to go for mother ship rush =D The mind set is simple, 4 gate + mother ship = win! mother ship require alot of gas, so i want to take my second gas early. Right before my cybernetics core half way finish.

I send my probe to scout, i saw his gas timing, and a barrack. At this rate im sure it is not gassless expand, so i need to be prepare for any timing push by terran. I decided that i need a second gate to hold off any early timing push.

After i chase away his SVC away,

I immediately put down my star gate. The mothership rush commencing. ^^

I hide initial probe scouting near his base, i need to scout second time, usually i send my zealot + stalker + probe to poke. But this time, since my stalker pop out late, i worry about his concussive shell finished (making marauder shot slow down the enemy) So, i went to sacrifice out my probe. It's a tough call to sacrifice one of your army, but it had to be done T_T

The probe sacrifice was not wasted, it give me a vital information. The enemy Terran only have marines, it means, im still safe from any timing push.

After knowing im safe, i put down fleet beacon, The building that have the ability to guide the mothership into battle field.

But i cannot just rely on the scouting, incase the enemy are hiding his marauder or tanks, i send my best stalker to the front line. They are fast enough to kite the enemy thus will buy me more time incase i need to react to a push.

Le' mothership has been call. The Nexus light beacon are lit to guide the mothership. Now all I have to do is just wait for the mothership to arrive.

Right after the mothership arrive into the battle field, i quickly try to attack the enemy terran.

The enemy Terran are equipt with with siege tank. But,  the brave Protoss army charge straight to the enemy. They have their mothership behind to give them a support. Everything under mothership are cloaked, this is one of the fearsome stealth technology that Protoss had in their arsenal. The Terran can't even see what attack them, all they can see and hear is their comrade falling.

This is what it feels like in Terran point of view, only 1 big mothership attacking.

The Terran commander try to scan the Protoss army so his army can start to attack the protoss army. But all he can see is the full force of the Protoss army.

I also warp 4 more zealot up the ramp to kill the SCV and cripple the Terran economy.

At the mean time my main army are assaulting the Terran Orbital command.

GG! he had surrendered. ^^ My final had already finished. Now i can focus more on my StarCraft!!!!

My last paper for this semester

Yosh!!! i will finish my paper in few more hour, then i will start the story of replay ^^

Cheese vs Cheese

I just finish my another paper today,my last paper is on 11 January 2012. By then i hope i can start regularly update my blog.  And we decided to play 2 v 2 tonight. As usual, fun night ^^

Tonight story is about cheese vs cheese. Cheese is a strategy where you gamble you game without any backup plan, just win or lose. I play as Protoss and Snowflake play as Terran. At the beginning of the game, we immediately send our scout to locate the enemy base. The SCV hero are going to scout =D

Don't forget the representative from the Cheese of Aiur! Small probe ready for duty.

I went to scout the 4 o'clock position. They did not spawn there, not my luck i guess. I immediately re-route my scout to the other spawning location.

But, Snowflake got really lucky, she find the location of the enemy. She hide her SCV at the expansion behind.

I carefully sneak into the enemy base >.< praying so hard that they did not find me.

PHEW!! We are officially inside the enemy base. Let the cheese start. i put down my pylon while Snowflake built her supply depot. Then 2 gateway are put down, Snowflake also construct her barrack at the back of my gateway.

Little I know that our enemy also cheese us. 6 pool by the zerg. I smile to my self, it is easy to counter the 6pool just by using probe mineral trick.

As i was doing the mineral trick, i saw a pylon in my base. I'm 100% sure that we were being canon rush. Lucky for us, our cheese is the counter to their cheese ^^ If the protoss canon rush that mean he has no unit at all to defend his base.

We stick to the original plan. No turning back. Now we are waiting my zealot to spawn.

And as my base are torn apart by the enemy canon, Snowflake happily float her command center to a new base. ( ZZzzz Terran....) *Tips if you try to canon rush terran, this scenario will happen.

I send my Zealot to the enemy mineral ASAP. Kill all the probe with no problem. Twin psy-blade wielded by my Zealot are no match for the puny little probe,

Snowfalke's marine start to aim and kill the enemy drone. All the training in the barrack are put into use tonight. The marine shoot without wasting a single bullet, every shot was a hit.

The Zerg try to send 2 zerglings in a desperate attempt to save his base. But the effort was useless as my Zealot reinforce Snowflake army after they had finished their task. The drone try to save their life. We block any escape path and kill every single of the enemy drone.

After we had killed their economy, It's time to put an end to their misery. *Aim and shoot the hatchery!*
-My Zealot are killed during the attempt to kill the Zerg Queen.

During all the havoc, Snowflake happily start to saturate her new found home base.

As Snowflake's marine march to kill the remaining zerglings, the enemy surrendered. They accepted their faith.

GG! I would really recommended for anyone to go for a 2 v 2 game. Go ask your friend to have fun with you ^^
p/s after my final, there will be a story of replay about the most destructive weapon that Protoss have in their arsenal.

Fail SCV rush??

Me and Snowflake MMR (Match Making Rating) went up high, we are up against platinum 2v2 player now. So we thought if our MMR is too high, we cannot have fun anymore. We decided to lower our MMR. At one of the game, we went scv rush ^^ that shall be fun. hahahahhaha.

 At the first game load up, we bring all our SCV to our enemy base, we know their spawning location already. This is what people call SCV train. hahahaha. looks cool and really damn fun.. hahahahahaha..

We attack the zerg first, it looks like it it will success.. but their respond are quite good.

Before all the zerg drone are killed, the reinforcement came. That was i late reinforcement. =p

The chase began, we try to kill any vulnerable SCV or drone. It's like playing tag in SC2.

I don't know how the hell happen, but we end up loosing. .. .. .. .. z.. z.. z.. z.. fail scv rush. hahaha, suddenly i had an idea.. I ask Snowflake to retreat!

I got 3 scv left. They did their job quite well. as a worker type unit, i do not expect much from them anyway. hahahah.

She also got 3 scv >.< better then nothing right.

We start by hiding our command center at other area.. =p try to survive as long as we can.

We manage to rebuilt back our force. My idea is to go for cloak banshee. hahahahha. another cheese. Hiding our cloak banshee over the cliff.

After we think we had enough banshee, Go banshee go!! Time to put some headache to the enemy ^^

We attack the expansion. manage to kill few scv. Not bad.

Then we try a multi prong attack. Snowflake take the new banshee and harass the terran. When the enemy army come to defend the area, Snowflake retreat ASAP.

As Snow flake retreat, I start to harass the Zerg base. ^^ very fun to see the enemy run back and forth.

After awhile, fun time is over. T_T the enemy start to siege our main base. Got a lot of tanks and some marine.
We got no defend left. Because all of our resource had been invested into cloak banshee. We know It was the end of our era.

The enemy start to attack. he bust us with a lot of banelings. Our small army are wiped out from existence.We surrender. ( proudly n funly!)

GG! hahaha, we had alot of fun that day. It's good sometime to release stress even in examination weeks. I hope i can get back updating my block to a daily basis, for now this all i can squeeze for you guys. ^^ have fun playing starcraft 2!
