StarCraft OWNAGE!

For the first time in my 10 years of playing StarCraft, I beat the computer in a legitimate 2v1.  I played one game in which I tried to build up and attack them one at a time.  I was able to weaken the Zerg opponent (I don't like playing against Protoss, since I prefer to use them myself), but was not able to finish them off so I could concentrate on the Terran.  And in the end, when I went after Terran, the Zerg were able to rebuild and I couldn't break either one of them.  I was starved of resources and lost.

In the next game, I waited until both the Terran and Zerg computer attacked me, then I countered hard with two control groups of speed upgraded Zealots and ranged Dragoons with some Observers to spot for Lurkers.  I was able to knock out the natural expansion, but didn't penetrate through their base before the Terran came in and wiped my forces out.  I gathered up a new set of forces and went after them for the killing blow.  I was able to take out Zerg and then had my sights on Terran.

I fought off a couple of counters from Terran.  They even managed two successful nuclear bombs, but I was able to kill off two other Ghosts and prevent the nuclear attacks.  I finally had a nice group of Dragoons and Zealots with High Templar to use Psionic Storm against groups of Marines and Battlecruisers.  They stopped my first two waves, but I was pumping out masses of units with 8 Gateways.  I finally broke them and took down a vital expansion.  This time I took out their only mineral-mining base and finally took them down.

Since I've never done this before, I decided to post my experiences.  I normally don't play the computer in a map where I have to expand or I pick a free-for-all so I can build up resources while the computer attacks each other.  This time I had them both after me and I was able to take them down.  I practice some of the techniques I learned from all the StarCraft videos I've been watching online.  I've incorporated High Templar into my attack, which has had mixed results.  Sometimes I take out groups of units, sometimes I fail miserably.

Who would have though a decade old game would still have such appeal.  Now I see why all those Korean players are sill hooked on it.

There is a distinct possibility that none of this makes sense to some people, so I'll apologize ahead of time.
