SWAT_181 Giga vs Roy Brown Dreg

Refer to map for references.

Opening of game:

My opening op goes to 2, my teleport goes to 7.

His op goes to 5 and his tele is at home.

My ref goes to 1 and ! mine out 10.

My 2nd op goes to 12 and my 2nd tele goes next to his sup, which was 9.

I build sup at 3.

he kills tele next to his sup.

i research until adv sup and get lux fighters w/ gatt3, i also research most of the GAs

Soon bombers are completed and I push a op to his home while he does the same with mine.

I bomb his garrison just before him, he fails the bombing, I kill his garrison.

Just before enemy home op is killed, he distoryes my garrison. but by that time i had a garrison con built.

AT this point i have spec mines at: 7,6,2,0. Ops at: 2,8,12. teles at 7. And most of sup teck.

Garrison con builds 7 but is promptly distoryied just after finished building, and sadly my team was podded.

for unknown reasons i was mutinied and booted, shortly after my team started to loose.

What did I do wrong and how can I improve?

they did? nice.

1: I do admit I had 20k in base at 1 time, but that was used promptly.

2: before the mutiny, i had practicality 2/3 of the map.

Giga shouldn't "start losing" to Dreg that late in the game. I notice that you only really talked about con placement, but there's more to the game than just taking map, and there's no point in pushing bases if you're not going to do anything with them. First of all, it sounds like you were just using all those specmines to buy all the other team's tech for them - you DO realize that all of that sup tech you had researching would have been just picked up and used immediately? Second, barely any mention of miners - did you do no real miner o? With base placement like that, you should have been able to render Dreg consistently bankrupt.

Third, and probably the reason why you got booted: no plan for ending the game. You had adv tech and basically infinite money (Giga with unharassed miners and multiple specmines), yet you were messing around with basic bombers? And I can tell you didn't galv away their minor bases either, since they wouldn't have been able to assault your second garr so quickly unless there was an op or tp somewhere nearby. Did you just make your pilots sit on their hands all game while you silently researched tech?

What Jimen said.
It looks like you didn't have a set plan for endgame, discussing that with your team and letting them know your plans will keep you from being bootinied.

3 vs 3?

It's a PUG. You gave the team the tools and they didn't use 'em. With the expansion you had, the enemy should have had no miners. Perhaps a little more yelling would help, the calculated boot will show the team you mean it. That needs to start fairly early. If you are expanding well and managing your miners well, also pay attention to your team. It is their job to end the game, you just set it up, but a truly good comm will motivate the team (one way or another) and not just give them the tools.

Looks like you are doing well though, keep it up.

What Sai said and I cannot believe Im saying this next bit but... the motivational boot seems to be the spark to light a fire when they stop doing anything useful why... it just seems to have developed into part of the game.

really, it should be VERY obvious what is wrong here. but for those who can't see it, the problem is you don't know how to command, at all.

Please take ACS
