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!!!!

New year special!!!

Today is new year eve, so i want to dedicate this 1st post of 2012 to my girl snowflake.. =D She took her placement match at last, after she overcome her nervousness.

The game take place on Xelnaga Caverns and her opponent is Zerg. 

 Then, the cheese has arrived. It makes me think, people lower then plat always cheese?? >.< nvm, need to learn to counter cheese right. So her opponent went 6 pool. It's easy to six pool in 2 player map because you will know where you opponent spawn.

The zerg send out scout, He try to harras her SCV building a supply depot. This i a common small harassment done by zerg or protoss to terran scv.

But with micro, she manage to swap her scv with a new one =D I was shock to see that kind of micro from her. Maybe she got used to get her worker harass by me that she learn such micro.

She send scout when she is making a barrack ( 12 food). She saw the zerglings. but luckily the zerglings were rallied straight to her base so they skip to kill her scv.

With the information given by her scouting scv, she quickly make another supply depot to block her ramp. At the same time she train marine asap.

She grab another scv to help repair her wall. The wall + scv repairing cannot be busted with a few zerglings. =D then her marine pop out, *trat trat trat trat* the sound of blessing.( marine shooting) Zerglings back off, there is nothing left they can do after the marine start shooting.

He park his zerglings outside Snowflake's base. The zerglings waiting patiently for their doom and hoping their commander have a back up plan.

As the first tank come out to the battle field, Snowflake ordered her 2 best marine to bait the zerglings to come and attack.

The Zerg commander took her bait. The zerglings march to the suicide field of tank bombing. The Tank squad completely Zero'ed the killing area.

It's time for Snowflake to make her move, she send her troop forward, the order is simple ( Shoot anything on sight!) Not even overlord is at her mercy. By killing the overlord, she successfully supply cap the opponent.

The zerg commander, answer the pressure by making banelings. This small force are the last hope for the swarm. As the hatchery almost finish, the only hope for zerg survival is for Snowflake to delay her attack.

Snowflake waste no time, she immediately siege the zerg expension. No mercy had given that day for a cheezer. The zerg force try to protect the hatchery. But they fail as the tank keep shelling at the zerg force.

As she finish denying the expansion, the tank reinforcement arrived. 2 more tank was added to her arsenal. While a group of marine are trailing behind. As the zerg commender realize there was no hope left for the swarm, he raise the white flag.

GG! p/s Congrats on your win on the placement match, and have fun with your new table. Hope you won't have back pain while playing Starcraft =D Wish everyone a blessing new year!!!

Made it back to top 25 with this game!!

I was struggling to maintain my top 25, beside I play 2v2 with snowflake just now, so I did not grind my game. luckily i made it back to top 25 again.. hahahahah.. This will be my replay story for tonight.

I fought against terran. When we start to play we would usually say glhf ( good luck have fun) but i prefer hfhf     (have fun have fun) I don't wana wish my opponent good luck right.. hahahahha.. so this happen. I say hfhf, and he say i try to talk trash.. LoL, so i explained to him incase he do not understand or what.. yet he replied with...

It's gona be so fun now for you.. =p My mind set is simple.. 1 gate expand then make double forge ^^ because protoss need to be ahead in upgreds. chrono boost will help to get the +3,+3 faster which will make the army stronger of course.. at 12 food, my sneaky probe went to take a peek at the opponent base, and what I see is he take his gas. This mean there will be no gassless expand of course..

But on the way back, my probe see something important. barrack with techlab and another barrack!! Phew, i don't have to worried cuz he won't 1-1-1.

After i saw his 2nd barrack, I immediately chorono boost my gateway to get stalker ASAP to defend against his aggression.

I expand as usual, and send my stalker to the enemy base, hopefully i would get a free kill ^^.

I send my probe again to scout, i do not want to get caught of guard if his marauder have concussive shell ( which will make my stalker move slowly) aka all my stalker will die. Then i saw he got his 3rd barrack! SHIT!!!!!! he is all-inning me!!

Quickly i put down 2 more gateway to defend his attack. i chorono out another stalker. I need as many unit as i can.

I send my stalker to the Xelnaga tower. Then the All-in come. He march with his scv to my base. My stalker bravely stand to his ground, He know, with proper micro, he can kite the scv and live to tell the tale.

The engagement start, it was an intensive micro, but 1 unlucky stalker are stuck at the pillar. Without hesitate, Zealot jump forward and try to save the stalker, with his high health he can last longer then the stalker. In his mind, he know with his sacrifice, all the stalker can retreat and regroup.

The lost of the zealot was not in vain. It give me enough time to summon more stalker! With this reinforcement, there is hope to defeat this all-in!

Then i quickly chrono boost the warpgate, i summon zealot to tank the damage and kill the scv. without zealot, the scv can surround my stalker.

After zealot has arrived, there is no more time to lose. They quickly go into the battle field. It's their duty to protect Aiur, their home place.

As they march into the battle field, terran commander have a smart plan, which is to let the scv go up the ramp while let his marauder do all the damage. The army of Aiur did not take the bait, they move back so the marauder can't shot them while they kill the scv.

Terran commander went rage and ask his marauder to run to the ramp. I saw this and said to my self, this is an opportunity. I ordered all my army to engage the terran army directly! the zealot went infront to tank the damage while the stalker shoot from behind, at the same time, another zealot reinforcement has arrived! the battle look bright on our side.

As i saw my zealot run forward to the enemy, i know i had this battle in my hand. It was i tough 1, i would never imagine to hold this all-in.

As my zealot give his final blow, I know this was over. I held it off. It was a very tense moment and i won!

GG! with this game i made it back to top 25 ^^

PvZ Metalopolis FFE

hari nie saya nk cerita tentang saya punya PvZ,

saya punya BO untuk PvZ adalah FFE (Fast Forge Expand). Sebab FFE ini membolehkan kita memberi tekanan kepada ekonomi zerg.

saya mulakan MU ini dengan wall off dekat ramp, Forge diletakkan dikawasan itu supaya, kalau saya nmpak zerg 6 pool saya boleh trus tutup laluan zerglings.

 Kemudian saya scout base zerg, apa yang saya nmpak ialah zerg expand dan timing pool dia, saya perlu meletakkan photon canon sewaktu pool dia siap supaya photon canon saya siap apabila zerglings dia sampai ke base saya.

 kemudian saya scout untuk kali kedua untuk melihat unit yang zerg ada. jika zerg ada roach warren atau mempunyai roach, saya akan membina stalker.

Disebabkan saya tidak melihat 2 roach warren, saya memilih sentries dan terus kepada 6 gate + Blink + upgred. Saya malas nak bawa zerg kepata Late game kerana mutalisk. unit composisi zerg + mutalisk = maleh nk dilayan. hahahahahah..

Selepas warp gate siap dan blink separuh siap saya terus ready untuk menyerang. Tips jgn lupa foward pylon.
Guardiand shield + ramp force field. ( untung la protoss ada force field) hahahahah. Selalunya Zerg susah nk counter time nie. Timing saya off sket dan sepatutnya boleh push awal sket. xpe, boleh practice lagi next time..

Saya juga letak 2 sentries untuk force field jika zerg nk counter attack. xde la time saya serang, saya ilang semua base saya.

 Tambah blink micro sket2.. menang!

GG!!!
