Game 12 (Protoss / Shakuras Plateau)

Build order / plan

• 12 drone for scout (4 player map)
• 14 gas
• 13 drone for scout (2 player map)
• 14 pool
• 16 lord
• 100% pool -> queen
• 18 2 x lings
•  Speed
• 20 drone
• Exp
• 23 lord
• Expo pops -> overlord + 2 x queen
• 30ish evo + spine crawler + drones on gas + second gas
• 40ish roach + lair
• Lair done -> 3rd gas
• +1 attack done -> second evo

Pre game goal

Get a lot of drones early on and try to defend with spines, queens and speedlings. Then switch into mass roaches with investors, scout and see if he has an expo, then attack/pressure and get a 3rd up. In the mid game, figure out what opponent is doing and counter this. Get out a 3rd queen for creep spread and scout every base with overlords. Focus on timing everything correctly and not forgetting stuff, use these adjustments for the timing:

• Take drones from gas when pool is done
• Instant larvae inject when queen pops
• Make overlord when first vomit larvae
• When building drones/lings from first inject, do new inject
• Make overlord when second hatch pops
• 3rd + 4th gas when lair is done

Post game analysis

Opening went good. I scouted his forge fast expo, so I took a 3rd. I droned hard and put up spines and spores at every base, followed by pumping roaches. I barely held of his first attack with roaches and tried to pressure his 3rd. My counter got killed by dts after doing some damage. I took a 4th and we macrod up. I maxed out but couldn’t deal with his maxed out army. I remacroed and kill almost his whole army but I lost my 3rd and 4th. I then took 3 more bases and remaxed. He attacked me with a maxed out army and couldn’t deal with it.  

Benchmark (10 mins)

• Drones: 42

• Roaches: 6
• Hydras: 0
• Queens: 3
• Spines: 5

What bad thing happened?	What’s causing the bad thing?	What’s the adjustment?
Money got high	Not enough larvae	Make a macro hatch when 3rd is up + spare queen for creep
Maxed out army too weak	Maxed roach / hydra army is not good eneugh	Replace hydra’s with infestors

Post game analysis

Opening went good, expo was a little bit late since I didn’t want him to scout it so I had to kill his drone. I scouted his expo so I droned hard, after making some roaches I took a 3rd. He attacked me and had good forcefields and destroyed my expo, but I killed his whole army, I should have killed him but I double expanded. I maxed out on roaches and should have crushed his attack but didn’t have detection. I lost my expo, 3rd and 4th to dts. I double expanded and soon after that took a 4th. I crushed his army with fungles and he gged.

What bad thing happened?	What’s causing the bad thing?	What’s the adjustment?
Didn’t have enough gas to make roaches	Take gas earlier	Take 3rd + 4th gas when lair is done
Could have easily killed him earlier	Didn’t scout/pressure his army/base	After winning a battle check his army at home / pressure his base
Lost a lot to DTs	No detection	At least 1 oversear near army 1 spore + 2 spines at every base

Post game analysis

Opening went ok, money got a little bit high because expo was a little late. I scouted a fast nexus so I droned heavily. At 40 drones I went mass roach/hydra and pushed, while I took a third. I was a little bit outnumbered but I couldn’t retreat because I had hydras, then I reinforced like crazy with roaches and didn’t miss a single inject and eventually overrun him.

What bad thing happened?	What’s causing the bad thing?	What’s the adjustment?
Money got high	Forgot overlord at 26	Make overlord when first vomit larvae
Not enough information about tech	Forgot to overlord scout	Scout with ovy at 6-7 min mark / 2nd gas is ready + put second ovy ready

Post game analysis
Opening went pretty bad. Forgot to takes drones of gas after 100 and forgot speed. I scouted the front with ling and his base with ovy but didn’t see anything. Then couldn’t deal with blue flame hellions and lost 13 drones. After I droned up again, he pushed with marines, tanks and hellions and I lost.

Lost too many drones	Couldn’t deal with blue flame	Roach Warren earlier (not necessarily making roaches) Use evo + crawler to block part of ramp
