Elzam v Magician

[Elzam_]

Elzam (Belt Rainbow Tech) v Magician (Rix Expansion (And later Tac))

High/Medhigh on IO

Elzam teh FailComm plants cons right, while Magician goes left

I send a carr to his miners, coincidentally his exp con is also spotted. We try to kill it. We fail. We try to bomb it, we fail.

Miners get killed.

I put an op to his OP left. We rush his miners midlow several times with little success.

I push a TP low, not realizing his OP was already there. It goes up and is shortly thereafter, killed.

We start capping stuff, taking over the map. After seeing his tac, I get on of my own.

His OP right at this point has died, so we start mining stuff, and I fail miner management, losing 1 or 2 because I put them mid.

I place an OP mid and keep mining.

He starts trying to cap stuff, We keep defending it. We lose an OP here and there.

I take a hvy bbr to his home and kill his tac. (In hindsight, as it was normal, my fear of SBs was for nothing!)

We halt his mining with my epic team of miner killers.

After many failed runs on his exp, I get a sup for AB3.

We SB his garr out, then SB his exp.

Game over, fun was had by all (I hope!)

Nicely played Blue, EXCELLENT work Yellow!

(Sorry about the 2 hr game)

Is this Magician(3) out of curiosity?

Yes.

I think he's a (5) now.

Probably not a thread I'd have made but, at least we won after 2hrs.

According to the leaderboard its
Magician (5.9)
This was also his first game commanding, and he's only recorded 30 hours of playing time.

vs

Elzam (10.5) with 49 games commanded and 280 hours of playing time.

If you wouldn't mind I would also like to know pkk's stats and Buyo's as well.

Thanks much!

I wish I had saved the stats from that game, I got twice as many kills as the next guy.
Also had 1/3 of the teams kills

Screw you. You can command a winning game, I can't.

Edit for Spidey - Magician was a doc ZL some 5 years ago. You might've known him.

2nd Edit - For some reason everyone is posting games so I figured why not be a conformist.

+1

P.S. I like how the recap says nothing inbetween getting initial cons planted and "capping the map"
