So the first phase of my journey as outlined here is done!
I took the effort to take down a one-liner as to how each game went, and perhaps this game will give Gold players an idea what it takes to get promoted? Hmm.
The league stated in (brackets) are the league of my opponent. A game is a Win if it is NOT bolded. Losses are bolded.
Game 1 (gold)- infestor ling v P gateway win
Game 2 (plat)- hatch first both, mass lings all in
Game 3(hi gold) - mass banelings kill terran with infestor funky play
This game was fun:
game 4(v plat) - 15 hatch zvz, he pool then hatch, i 40 food roach /ling all in game 5 (v plat) - roach/ling all in failed, hit by 6gate (LOSS)
game 6 (v gold) - roach bane bust a terran
game 7 (v plat ) - ling/hydra into ling/infestor/roach/hydra
Game 8 (v gold) - 14/14 vs a roach army he tap out after i snipe queen
Game 9 (v silver) - opponent went stargate off a 2-3 gate -_- These weird builds throw me off seriously. Still managed to win
Game 10 (high gold) - roach/bane bust didnt work, ling/bane/infestor infestor harass ftw
Game 11 (plat) - ling/infestor/ultra
Game 12 (plat) - he tried blue flame/marine drop? no idea. I roach bane bust Game 13 (plat) - blinkstalker colussus/zealot.. i just kept throwing units at him without microing! bad bad. LOST
Had this game waaay in the bag, with a huge econ lead. But I was bored as nothing was happening (You know how Zergs can't exactly choose when to engage before T3 because of turtling, etc) so I just threw units at him. Then I lost everything before my 8 ultralisks popped and he was already deathball in my face. so... still lost.
Game 14 (plat) - ling/bling into 21 expo into mass ling/bling
Game 15 (plat) - roach/ling he pushed into my roach/ling/bling i barely held on
Game 16 (diamond) - marine/tank/banshee 1 base push into expand. defended with roach/ling/bling (and queens)
Game 17 (plat) - reactor hellions into BC rush - my sac OL saw how few units he had and so I just roach busted him. gg
Game 18 (high plat) - 111 expand, i rushed mutas and caught him off guard cutting his scvs super low. after that just macro like a boss and roflstomp with ultras/banes
Game 19 (high plat) - he speedling->21hatch, i ling/bling. microwars for quite a while
Game 20 (high plat) - 3gate TC expand, i roachling busted him, then he tried DT/warp prism stuff but I was all over it.
Game 21 (high gold ) - ling/bling wars into expand into roach wars into roach/infestor
This game was surprisingly close and action packed and exciting. I didn't play my best (clearly) and I think he played really well. I passed this replay on to some Youtube guy who said he'll cast it, we'll see if it happens.
Game 22 (high plat ) - wasn't prepared for banshee, did so much damage and messed my build up. couldn't get a 3rd either.. stupid map! got rolled by mass thor/banshees woo. LOST
Game 23 (plat) - roach ling semi all in, didnt break him, but he moved out with gateway units. mistake as i surrounded with with lings, then broke his 3rd. finished with hydra/roach/ling
Game 24 (diamond) - MMM push of some sort, with like 10 SCVs? held easily with roach/bane/ling/pull drones even tho i started production late. after that just nonstop roach/ling (with upgrades) pressure till he cracked
Game 25 (diamond) -i 14/14 while he 15 hatch, i plant a spine with speedling/baneling and win Game 26 (high plat) - shortizz' spinecrawler rush trick didnt work! lol. antiga shipyard, stupid ramp. LOST. Game 27 (diamond) - VR rush - proxy stargate in a location i'll prob never scout. LOST
Game 28 (diamond ) - held off a 7 pool, countered with speedilngs and won
So it was a 23/28 record which is 82%... ok I guess. Have a lot more to work on.
Soooo the boring part is over, I'm going to start using Random!! Hehehe can't wait to do Terran all-ins and Protoss deathballs. Zerg is just so... limited in the all-ins/early rushes you do (those that actually work, not something like 6 pool)
