Great Replays/Discussion

Agent J

Thanks SDCC, It is helpful to see other peoples replays to get/steal ideas from.

These are just comments from a lowly bronze league player so take what you want from it...

TvZ

IMHO you should've lost. Zerg should have pushed after either of your early attacks & would've taken you. I do not know why they ran from your SCV horde when everything else you had was gone. They would have crippled you.

Your first attack didnt have enough marine cover & went on to creep without any effort to destroy it the spores. However you kept you pressure & i think kept them on the backfoot. I need to use Tanks more personally....

It also seems you make the same mistake i do. You didnt scout
They had like 3 expos you had no idea about.

Can i ask do you normally block at the end of the ramp? Just curious if you have found that more effective aganist zerg?


TvP

You had no AA up at all. Just curious if that is a consious choice.
With protoss they always send over observers & Protoss knew all your expos as soon as you had them. Also AA are nice aganist Collusii.

Having said that you minced them nicely with vikings

To be honest i didnt see much wrong (In my lowly bronze opinion). You hit him nice early with enough marine cover. Your force got destroyed & not sure what i would have done differently myself...

You expanded nicely (Something i always forget..). Could've scout a little more maybe...

I was a little concerned when they started bringing templars into play & you had your bio force pretty bunched together. Im not really sure of an effective counter for that..

Anyway. Just my 2cent.

i always forget observers v p always

i just have a blind spot for that particular unit

and i've started walling off the bottom of my ramp in the past week or so, it just saves on the cost of one depot early on.. i tend to take the wall apart when I expand anyway

gearoidof

that's gone in the new patch, fyi.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

the patch notes just say 2x2 buildings , barracks is a bit bigger than that

2 2x2 buildings to block off the ramp is gone ie 2 pylons, however baracks and suply depoy can stil block off the bottom of the ramp(3x3 and 2x2)


From the patch notes:

General
Players can no longer block off ramps with two 2x2 buildings.

Third match (45 min in or so) is epic by every definition of the word. Over all it is a 2h show with Z v P doing a best of give match up.

Is TvT a tank\viking fest?
Hell no.

See replay.

Oh forgot thors in file name xD
And reaper\hellion too! Damn almost every unit, except ghost. I think I had a raven at some point ...

The game was pretty retarded tbh, but so much fun

Fantastic ZvP game between Huk and GSL S2 winner NesTea, superb high level play.

I've uploaded this replay because it proves one thing: the game is never over. Even after I got a pretty huge early game disadvantage I stayed in it and kept him on his toes, doing subtle little attacks and diversions as I kept my economy and military strong.

I'm nowhere near where I was 2 months ago, but I'm getting there.

Enjoy ~

Lategame PvZ, the amount of ghey you must do to prevent Z from overrunning you.

My initial thought was to call this "marauder DIE DIE" but I think it does a nice job of highlighting why 3-4 colossi is way better than 6-7 pvt. I pulled a utterly horrid first major attack though. Though I think I make up for it by playing PvT macro style and a

Pretty goddamn good second major engagement.

seraphimvc

doing more 1v1 ladder so i can prepare for the coming lan :pac:

40mins macro game ZvP diamond toss:

you wanna see some ultras in actions?? or broodlords?? how zerg is a reactionary race that i made all zerg units to counter his countered-me units in this game??:D (well except bling caused' it is kinda useless in zvp and i dont have the gas for infestor lol) also how i deny 2 observers scouting?? and how zerg can keep swarming you til the end of the world?? watch this! you will like the big battles! (the toss opted for templar tech rather than usual colosus play but he did go immortal, his quick 3/0 upgrades gave me some troubles.)

seriously xelnaga is the best map in the map pool! i certainly need to drone harder and get some range attack upgrade next time. biggest blunder would be i can end the game earlier if i can trap his stalkers which come to snipe my gold expo (i thought he brought his whole army).

Cool ass TvT, he does 1 rax expand into mass infantry, I do banshee into tank.

So, over the last few hours I've seen some truly incredible matches, first a bo3 between Jinro and Select and then on Idra's stream Idra versus IMMvp. I'll try and post up the replays when I get them but every one was an incredible game.

Xios

This replay i like

Basically i went nydus crazy in a 4v4, it get's pretty lol towards the end

Idra vs MVP, 45 min, fantastic match. Its a stream of Idra, so only from his POV

I was about to quit when

he breaks my nat,fuck broodlords but then I realize that he's gone into full retard mode and decide to hold on while rebuilding

String

Usually in my ZvZ matches I end up having to defend against 1 base ling/banelings or fast mutas. Roaches are my favorite unit so had fun this game.
Im a silver level player so all constructive criticism would be welcomed.

Good contain However he makes very little effort to break out of it. I think he was panicked by your tanks at his front. His scans were not very effective and he tried to hit back with single vikings!

I would say you should be a bit more aggressive in a situation like this. You could have expanded or made more of an effort to break into his base earlier in the game. When moving your tanks forward try to leapfrog them in groups of 1-3.

Maybe a 1-2 medavac drop into his backfield at about 12-15 minutes while he was so focused on his front door. In the same vein he should have tried to drop on you before you set up those handful of turrets. Sending your vikings over his base is a bad move, lucky for you he didn't cop on and stand marines under your flightpath.

Or you could have been very sneaky and dropped 4 tanks just in range of his backline, sieging 2 and having the other 2 to hit any close range marines. Then when he moves his tanks back your force at the front can move up.

Heres the most recent Day9 Funday monday and its actually more educational than most. The restriction was that the Zerg player must keep more or less constant Queen production up. So a few mass queen games. (The Bronze level game (the 3rd) is funny, I want to play those guys)
Unlike the usual Funday Monday's losing your base wasn't the normal outcome:

This made my day, after a day of much cheese in sc2.

Ok so this is NOT a great replay but I feel sorry for the guy I just beat.

Haven't played in about a month. Did 3 games tonight. Lost 2 then this. I decided to try out that all helion build order of iEchoic. As per the replay I fecked it up a bit.

Guy thought he had me on the ropes with his 3 rax push. (Quite rightly on his part) He didn't factor in my planetary fortress expand tactic! Stealing another players minerals is mean. He got himself supply blocked and couldn't stop my scout rax in his base.

Remember, bronze players make funnier replays due bad decisions!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

hilarious 50 minute tvt on slag pits

after my disastrous attempt to survive his siege contain, I builtd 5-6 orbitals, 3 starports and 14 rax on the other side of the map while he is destroying my main and end up winning the game

seraphimvc

ok i got the whole replay pack of IEM Hanover here:D
