Hello everyone I am lolwut! And as most of you know I have been / for about A year now. But now, The time has come, for me to finally get off my ass and start laddering. So I will be posting a blog about my ladder adventures into masters and beyond!.
This series will start today.
Game 1 of ladder.
Spawning ZvZ on Cloud Kingdom. I am reasonably happy with my ZvZ as I have decent micro and can read the game pretty well. I open up my standard 14 gas and 14 pool. My opponent 12pools me.
My reaction to the 12pool. And our conversation.
lolwut: i got diamond last season. SHould be good then
Hydraxe: Yeah:
lolwut:ahhh 12 pool not good :S
Thankfully his 12pool doesn't do anything to my economy. After that I get my 2nd and go for some bane pressure. He still hasn't expanded yet. Too busy teching banes and putting a spine down in his base for the fear he will die to mass lings. I do a failed bane attack on his main but by now it's like 21 drones to 13 and he STILL hasn't expanded. I pull back and tech roach while making a horde of banes in my main for that incomeing assault I know thats coming.
He then pulls back and morphs his lings into banes and reinforces. He still hasn't expanded yet so this is allin. I build a coupla spines and manage to fend it off. GG .
Next game is zerg vs protoss.
He forge FE's so I take a quick 3rd in response. He then plants a proxy pylon by my 3rd which I don't see. (DO'H!) and manages to take it out with 12 zealots. I rebuild my 3rd and we play a looong macro game. I tech up to broodlords/roach/festor and he goes for the typical coll/archon/zeal/stalker Deathball. First engagement goes quite back for me but I manage to kill about half his army
.
Next engagement I have with ultra/ling but I still isn't enough to kill his deathball. He ends up marching in to my base and just destroying it. A last ditch effort of broods delay him a bit but in the end it swings in his favour.
End of day 1. 1 win 1 loss.
Notes:
more broods in ZvP.
more ups.
scout for proxy pylons better .
