Professional StarCraft 2 Replay: Altitude TL Invitational: TesteR vs. WhiteRa

Posted by on August 23, 2010

Players: TesteR (P) vs. WhiteRa (P)
Map: Lost Temple
Match Begins: 4:16

Moments of Interest:

4:18 - WhiteRa orders his probes 2 at a time to different mineral patches. The game normally scrambles your workers for you in order to put each worker on a different mineral patch. By doing this, WhiteRa speeds up the process.

8:25 - TesteR has a Pylon hidden away near WhiteRa’s base in order to warp in units from his Warpgates. This removes the travel time of his units in order to put greater pressure on WhiteRa.

8:34 – WhiteRa places his Sentry and Stalker on his ledge overlooking his natural expansion’s chokepoint, giving vision and also allowing them to attack any units that might come in range.

9:00 – TesteR hugs the left side of the chokepoint in order to prevent any free attacks WhiteRa might get. WhiteRa sees the movement and moves his units to defend the top of his ramp.

9:19 – TesteR is researching Hallucination. Hallucination is great for pressure attacks as it creates fake units to divert enemy fire from your real units.

10:20 – An embarrassing mistake by WhiteRa as he traps in a Zealot between his Gateway and Pylon. Players must always be careful with building placement.

10:30 – TesteR creates a hallucinated Colossus hoping to soak up some of WhiteRa’s damage. WhiteRa correctly discerns that the Colossus isn’t real judging by the size and makeup of TesteR’s army.
