Season 8, Game 1

Summary: Somehow survived early banshee pressure, then accidentally spotted he was going battle cruisers.
Result: Victory!

Date: 20/10/12
Duration: 46 mins
Map: Entomed Valley
Matchup: TvT

It's been ages since season 8 started and I have purposefully delayed playing again, so I can concentrate on other things. Amazingly I started with a victory. Even so, there are still plenty of things I can improve on.

Good points:

  • A win is a win.
  • Somehow survived 3 cloaked banshees arriving in my base at 9:20. They killed 13 worked, I should have lost.
  • Didn't to too badly at getting supply blocked. Happened at 86 supply, but it wasn't too bad up to that point. I guess I stopped building depots after having 22 units killed by banshee and forgot to get back to it.

Areas for improvement:
  • Supply blocked. Hardly a surprise, I get supply blocked all the time and I know it is rubbish.
  • Failed to upgrade. Infantry finished the game 2/2 and the only thing I had done with my armoury was start ship playing 1 after 45 minutes.
  • Money got too high. I finished the game with an *average* unspent resources of over 2000. I don't think it should get that high at any point in the game.
  • Started Engineering Bay too late. I started it at 8:20 and wasn't quite ready when the banshees arrived.  I think I should be starting it around 7:30
The moment when I felt I would win. His battle cruisers turn round and try to run away.
