    So im like thinking so many people here must have had 1 or 2 epic battles where you thought "omg im gonna loose - baaahuhuhuuuuuu!" and then something important happened and then you won.

    So share your great tales of war with the community!

    (now u prob thinking: why not just upload a replay?)

    Because this is tales, not replays. I want to hear the words describing it, not see it :p
    Then maybe you can add the replay if you want after u made the text. But the replay should not be the describing media.

    :laugh:

    I have a story too tell. All you dota haters out there might not like it though, anyway iwas 400 health mid lane with leoric. When nightstalker bursts out of the shadows makes fake night and charges, Leo being the brave skele he is. Bursts his fire ball out. For a short stun, although ns is fully upgraded with his night. He is still coming after me, he has 3/4 health. I only have 1/4. Night stalker is still running after me during the third tower. And all he had to do was hit me once, i had 34 health..... Of course, my ult had just happend to come up and I quickly pressed v for a reverse polarity. He was stuned and i hit him once.... and waved. He died shortly after with me at 40 health. He left shortly after, after repeating the words "wtf hax".
    Cough noob cough. Tis a true and horrible story. You had to have been there.

    Hmmmmm, I think shadow just proved his ignorance too me. Since I believe he was trying to make fun of me * correct me if i'm wrong* You had abselutely nothing to contribute. So why dont you take your fail with you and gtfo. No you dont win. While your at it, go **** your clan.
    Everyone looks at the latest thread. Just a little fyi.

    Well, I don't have any kind of 'comeback' tales where I win after things look grim, but I do have a rather fun story to tell.

    Myself and two friends were playing one of those generic FASTEST POSSIBLE MAPS, doing a 3v5 compstomp. We won very easily, my two friends massing Carriers and Battlecruisers, respectively, while I used a mix of Mutalisks and Guardians. With the battle won, we decided to unally and battle each other for sh!ts and giggles. Being in the bottom right corner of the map, I was pretty far from the action, and was basically left to my own devices as my friends (who had adjacent bases) again massed carriers/battlecruisers and proceeded to throw their forces at each other.

    After watching this epic battle for a few minutes I donned an evil grin and decided to join in with many, many dozen scourge. My friends were so busy repairing the damage to their respective bases/fleets that they didn't realize what was happening until I had launched my third volley of scourge. Finally noticing this, my friends allied with each other for long enough to reduce my hatcheries and three rows of Spore Colonies lining my borders to ash, and left a single Spawning Pool so that I could continue watching their battle. We chose allied/victory after another 45 minutes of fighting.

    It was a 1on1 pvp on the Python map. My mainbase was 3 o clock and his was 6 o clock. We both had our defensive perimeters up and running and expanded to the nearest resources.

    Now we are both running for a 3rd expansion. I go to 12 oclock and he goes to 9 o clock.

    So now there is a bit of stalemate. Most of his units is just outside my defensive perimeters which is 1 pylon and 4 canon and all my units.

    We both have psionic storm up and running and after that he decided to go for carriers while i decided to go for reaver/shuttle.

    3 minutes latere after little to no action i decided to make a move. I took all my dragoons and walked around his army so i could attack him in the back.

    I came in and took him completely off guard and i went for all his high templars, and i killed them all and under heavy fire i pushed my dragoons back to the base. His units followed my units and now i send out the zealots and my high templars and not many of his units survived that.

    Now to his complete surprise, while this battle was taking place, i secretly had plantet a dark templar on his 9 o clock expansion and now it was gone.
    I wonder how he must have felt when he saw this :D

    3 minutes latere he once again had scrambled his units together and this time they were accompanied with carriers, 5 carriers, and i was totally unaware of the presence of carriers.

    So he ordered his 5 carriers to go for my 12 o clock expansion. When he reached his target he discovered that he had to built interceptors haha. But apperently i never looked on my minimap, so i did not knew that they were in my expansion. So they were just there until they finished there first interceptors, then they attacked and then i found out that my expansion was under attack.

    Back to the defensive perimeter:
    After some psionic storms i faked an attack on his units which were just outside my defensive perimeters. I made 4 hallucination zealots and just send them out. I didnt know why i did this but the effect was that he ordered his 5 carriers to come and aid his troops instead of poundering my undefended expansion which also had almost all my pylons.

    Now with all his offensive units gathered outside my base he went for the attack, but i had 9 high templars and a group of dragoons. Together they finished the 5 carriers and his units but my defensive perimeter got destroyed.

    Unfortunately he had built another 2 carriers and now they were on the move to my mainbase.

    On the same time i had ordered a shuttle reaver attack on his 2nd expansion and i took out all the probes and the defense he had there. On the same time it also delayed his reinforcements which was crucial to the next thing that happened. (because his troops had to go through 2nd expansion to reach my base)


    His 2 carriers now began to kill the unemployed probes in my mainbase and i really didnt had much that could harm the carriers. However i maneged to find some high templars and some dragoons. Now his carriers were in the red and his reinforcements raced to help them out. And then after i killed the last carrier it did not take many seconds before the last dragoon was killed by his reinforcements.

    So now i have 4000 minerals, he has 400. I harvest on 2nd expansion which is soon to get killed and he doesnt harvest at all, but he has more units than i have. Soon though he will send his unemployed probes to 2nd expansion and harvest.

    I decided it was time to use some minerals so i had began building 6 reavers. And those 6 reavers together with other units destroyed the reinforcements he had sent.

    So i evaquated the probes that were on 2nd expansion. 2 probes survived and it was imperative for my victory that they survived. Because initially i thought they should go to position 9 o clock and build a base there. But then i changed my mind and instead rebuilt a much stronger defensive perimeter. This time it was 2 pylons and 10 canons.
    The defensive perimeter was situated on the shortest route from his base to my base.

    So now i began to gather resources at 12 o clock again but then he sends his 2 carriers to shut that down.

    Also he thinks that my 2 surviving probes are going to 3 o clock so he sends 3 units over there to shut them down. But my dark templar are still there and then he looses his units, and find no base to destroy.

    In my base is now a shuttle reaver attack on standby but must first i must build ammo.

    Now suddenly im down to 60 minerals, not harvesting, my probes are at location where there are no nexus so i cant harvest. Looks like i spend too much minerals on my defensive perimeter. DAMM that! Im down to only have 6 unprotected probes at 9 o clock and 2 protected probes at defensive perimeter.

    Between my defensive perimeter and my mainbase is his units guarding my 2nd expansion so i cant go there.

    So i decided to attack with my reavers and he sees my move and follows my shuttles. What happens next is that he just walks into my newly establish defensive perimeters in his retreating move and his 2 carriers was send to assist and they did also get killed there.

    But im like ok what can i do. This is the last thing i can do. If this fails im gonna surrender.

    But he know the reavers are coming, and then he gives up !

    And i was like, wow i won !!!!! - LOL

    Ok well, I'm kinda a noobie terran. Yet, I like them a lot, and was helping a member learn zerg. Ok, so match is TvsZ. One of the people I play a lot always would go mech and it would beat my zerg, so I thought I would copy his build. Which is pretty much 2fact. tank/goliath pump.
    So, I scout Zerg fast expos(as usual), and we continue our builds(he goes hydra/lurk)
    I end up pushing to nat with 2 tanks(with siege), 1 goli, and some rines. I contain for awhile until he breaks it, at that point I had a expo at my nat, he sends big counter but I had siege tanks/golis with supplys blocking my nat. I attack, and he counter attacked, he gets my expo, and mines LIITERALLY saved my main base. I get his expo at nat and get into his main. We have a mini battle with mutas and such, but I end up winning barely. I thought maybe he had another major base, but he just had 2 expos, one not being used at all. Here's rep :p

    well I'm bad in english. that 1:20 hour epic battle.


    It were 1 vs 1 vs 1 egression(human) me(protoss) and GoldenElite21(human) on map *Medusa* GoldenElite21 and me we allied to kill egression because he killed us 2 last game and we waited to unally. We each had 4-5 expansion. When we unally i got a surprise, he massed battlecruiser and killed my army. I bring reinforcement and make his battlecruiser run on the water after big lost for me.


    I made a base with lots of gateway and stargate and massed dragoon and scout. meanwhile i killed 2 of his expansion with Dark Templar. He had 3 remaining. He riposted by launching numerous nuclear missiles in my base.

    I rushed and killed his 3rd expansion. His main base were on sigh but i made an error.
    my scout were attacking battlecruiser while my army were killing his 2e expansion and were moving at the ramp. My scout got toasted by dizain and dizain of marines and my dragoon shotted by battlecruiser(yamato canon) and were only able to go down the ramp 2 by 2 where los of marine waiting them


    we had each other 20k minerals but me i mean 20k with 7 expansion. and he with lot less minerals minned.


    He counterattacked while i had no army and i got a big problem:*NO GAZ* I can't make goon i'm in trouble...

    He made a very big attack with battlecruiser attacking my main base and marines attacking my expansion. Battlecruiser dstroyed my main building and marines toasted my militairy building.Buy he made a Fatal error. beeing sure he won he separed his battlecruiser and my goons killed them 1 by 1. he microed bad his marines and they got toasted by my defense and my goon(2 hit kill ^^) I pushed to his base and he surrender.

    at the end i still had 20k mineral but he had 4k.

    I really feared to lose when e attackedmy main base and my militairy building. I were ready to surrender but I won :)

    I mined around total 100k minerals.


    I don't know how can i make you see repplay that would be nice if someone help me about this.

    nice...
    1v1 on Loki II

    I was Zerg, and my friend Mark was Arvenhero.
    We played around, and he managed to contain me to 3-base, but I managed to sneak a drone past.

    I broke the block, and began to mass ovies and ultraling. He massed archons and zealots.

    We attacked the same time, but passed each other.
    He easily destroyed the ~15-20 lings and hydras at my base, and pwned all my tech, but I managed to destroy ~12 gateways and almost all his tech, and I had 10k, while he had about 4k.

    I hid my drone in bottom right, and built like 4 hatcheries with some escaped drones

    I remassed my army, as I managed to save an ultra den and a spawning pool in my expo, and attacked my friend. He massed cannons at his last expo.

    I beat him with guardians.

    Things I could have done better:
    -Micro
    -Attack earlier
    -Prevent walls
    -Don't waste resources/units

    Things he could have done better:
    -Scout everywhere
    -Expand more
    -Pay attention to attack force
