StarCraft Dream, 8/15-8/16
I was playing Andy Tien in a 1v1 on Python - I was T at 3; he was P at 9. I walled off and went for a 1 fact CC build. I remember after I finished my CC and had my natural running, I send a few vultures to Andy's base to try to harass his probes. He had completely walled off his natural with a diagonal row of pylons that looked like /, except even more slanted. Somehow, in my dream, the vulture was a small enough unit to fit between the pylons, so my vultures fit through and I sniped a few probes at his natural, but he did a good job killing them off quickly with his dragoons.
Fast forward a little bit, and I have three factories pumping tanks and vultures. I have like 8 tanks and 12 vultures, so I feel ready to make a first push. I go for the 11 o'clock expansion. I scan the middle and I see Andy has his goon/zealot army there, but I think I can handle it. So I go pretty much straight toward the 11 o'clock expo, but before I even get halfway there, Andy's army starts closing in on me, so I siege up and start laying mines. I think I'm fine, but then, 12 mutalisks come out of nowhere and snipe off all my tanks! I retreat with my remaining forces, but Andy keeps pushing. It seems I barely shrunk his army. On the mini-map, his goon/lot/muta army looks like a bunch of multi-colored macaroni swimming forward, for whatever reason. I don't have any more tanks or any anti-air back at my base, and I knew it was over, so I gg'd. Andy's macro was so crazy that game. Dunno when he mind-controlled a drone either. Or where he found a drone in the first place.
