well i just got done with an epic game- me vs one of my best friends.
he and i got good at the game by playing off each other, allied or 1v1, constantly learning from each other. then for one reason or another, we stopped playing eachother for a while. he proceeded to perfect the fastest early rushes on battlenet, and never-ending streams of them, and i learned very fast defense & late game waves.
finaly, in an epic showdown of adversaries, we versed each other yet again.

we kept taking turns with the upper hand, and were constantly fighting on two or three fronts. was very evenly matched, inspite of the fact that we had parted ways in it for so long. we both changed our tactics a few times throughout the game, took numerous risks and gambles, and threw several surprise attacks. it finally ended with an all-or-nothing attack on both our parts. not just brute force, but a well planned all-out that attacked different angles and with different combinations.

yeah, im proud to say that i won in the end, but he took out a third of my base and two thirds of my forces in doing so. we were even forced to do a few uncharacteristic things just to keep each other off guard. ironically the thing that won the game was the same tactic i usually use, but had avoided for the entire time up to that point because he was familiar with it. falling back on it was what finally caught his weak point in what otherwise may have been a stalemate.

as we agreed at the start, we allied at the end so as not to have any points counted against whomever lost.
the game on the whole was one hell of a fight

. was the kind of game i wouldnt have minded losing so much, knowing i had put up that kind of fight.

so, as i signed on to the board today, these thoughts were still lingering in my mind, i found the 'off topic' forum. seemed like a good place to post the question, does anyone here play SC?
