I had a QM vs Sksus,
in fact, I didn't want to post cause I said in other post I will challenge him cause he said they are on ESL etc so I thought he wouldn't like me if I post,
Anyways I've watched before posting,
I played bit defensive, I thought he was going Nubbe's strat on The Day After so I was like, where is your army, then I saw he went rax/wf (which turned on replay to be a double rax/ Mentor Pool) ) so I thought it's gonna be easy, started attacking very aggressive then he attacked me so I pulled back,
u can see nice micro battles, for ex, in the middle min 8:30
in the 2 last minutes, I knew what will happen so I floated a bit, it turned out good that I've decided to continue attacks then to tech up.
u can watch the 8:30 min on 0.5 speed, and the rest on X2 or more, GG worth watching IMO but ur opinion :]
ENJOY

THe name is going to be changed, so who wants to make a clantag account if thedy are just gonna have to replace it in a week anyhow.
EARLY GAME
SKSUS throws out his own great tactic for bank maps, and it serves him well. Even against other cst players who use a similar tactic, this one just throws more men out and will surely win. Tech snakes his troops to both banks, not the wisest of choices. He makes up for this by successfully taking the bottom left bank back., hindering sksus' income. Then, both players do something abit pointless.
Once a banks gotten down to a certain amount LEAVE IT. When tech goes for the top right and sksus goes for bottom left the banks were empty by the time you got it back. Had either of you had a prison up in time fair enough but it just seemed abit wasted.
Harassment is made by both sides unsuccessfully, on this map its quite hard for small amounts of units to do any damage as it takes soo long for them to get there, a defensive army can easily be built in the time it takes.
MID GAME
SKSUS impressively moves to the middle as soon as the banks are empty, keeping that money flowing. He covers his expansion with the btr's hes been building to cover it from any scout attacks. Fortunately for tech he scouted with his HIP, and spotted the btr army. EXCELLENT micro in this fight by tech, saved his kornets from harm very well and kept them at the back of the fight, which is why he won. Again more good micro dodging the bomb truck and btr's. During all this SKSUS has kept busy and is going for hinds/more btr's, not floating much at all or losing cool.
Good timing on techs part gets his 4 BTR's into SKSUS' initial base basically eliminating it, quick reaction by SKSUS by rebuilding his base in the mid, knowing when a base is screwed is crucial, and him NOT sending his forces from the mid to there was gonna be much better in the long run. Nice try with the bomb trucks to keep your derrick alive.
LATE GAME
SKSUS finally gets out the kornets realising how there going to be needed to win this fight, and begins to expand to the other derrick for more cash. Techs attack with its good positioning and micro just decimates SKSUS army. Alot of damage is dealt by GREAT use of bomb trucks but its all too little, too late.
It was great play by both players but Techs micro is just so much better than SKSUS, this plus the early prison is what won the match for him.
8/10 as I definately thought it was SKSUS' until that last attack broke through, never knew the winner until the last few minutes.
This was a very entertaining replay. I've never seen long, drawn out bank battles on the very limited banks on this map and it was great to watch.
no need for a second review, but ill say the 2 thigns i absolutley loved about this game:
Teck deck microing his BTR and kornets at 8:30...that was inspired genius..the ammount of damage that combo did was ridiculous.
And the first proper use of LINE OF SIGH which was done by SKUS. He hid his bomb trculks behind obstacles which obstruct line of sight such as neutral building and his hospital, and waited till teck deck got close enogh then ran the bomb trucks out and did a lot of damage. Excellent use of bomb trucks.
And on that note id haveto say that this game doesnt deserve a 9. Nine is reserved for super games, and going on legendary. This unfortunatley, as great as it is, is not. It has great moments, and its a great game, but not worthy of 9 im afraid.
I voted 8 for it, I reckon its worth that. But yea, not a 9.
I voted 7 not 6, to bring it down to 8 which is where it is around.
exactly what I said,
if u want to vote 7, vote 7
but don't 7 cause u think it worth 8!
if u think it's worth 8 vote 8
thats what I think it's all about all rating, not someone's rating
if some replay has 8 and somene think it worth 6 he will vote 4 which is sad cause he needs to vote 6!!!
it's another discussion lets come back to the replay :]
no but i think its worth 7. Im just saying it makes 8 as a result and not 7.
How do you fast scroll in this game?
Right click don't do it
Tech, I've checked the voting logs and he did in fact rate it a 7 (not 5 or 6 or whatever). That's fine so long as he actually does think it's a 7.
But let this be a warning. DO NOT EVER try and fudge the average. I dont care who you are, if you vote to bring the average down to what you THINK it should be, you're fucked. I wont tolerate improper ratings. Vote what you think the replay is, nothing more nothing less, and ignore what the rating currently is.
Anyway, really cool game, the Kornet/BTR combo and micro was nice to see. The beginning was a bit stale though. SKSUS did his typical bank capture strat/btr spam. He also wasted Hinds later on. I would say that Tech had MUCH smarter unit usage than SKSUS did, which is what won the game for him. 7/10 for me.
so my word isnt good enogh? You haveto check the logs? good work.
OMG NO FAST SCROLL !?!!?!?!?!?!!?
Is this the end of skillful RTS play as we know it or what?
BTW nice replay.I really liked your unit usage.SKSUSS had a good strat and nice initial follow up but he just couldn't adapt.
OMFG ! it got elite, then moved to ROTW....
go go go watch ... HF
now when it's not rotw (it's still 7th rotw thou)
should be back to elite,
not?
