[s]replays[/s]

Every now and then a very good replay is written about as a Recommended Replay here on GosuGamers. You guessed it right, here is a new one! This time between the two Chinese players China F91 and China Super.

The map is the quite well known Lost Temple. F91 spawns his hatchery at the 9 o' clock position while Super starts at the 1 o' clock position with his Terran. The Zerg makes a fast expansion while Terran aims for a 2 Baracks build. F91 built an Extractor on Super's gas, so that slowed the Terran down a bit. Super then aimed for a fast expansion. Zerg went Lurkers.

ipx1.jpgThe game stays a bit passive, F91 moving forward with Lurkers and eventually killing some Marines and Medics. During that time both players are teching. Terran adds a second Factory and produces Vessels and Zerg techs to an early Hive and adds a Spire and a Defiler Mound. F91 makes an offensive move as soon as his first Defiler pops out. He is not able to do much damage, but he stops Super from going out.

Although, Vessels are able to kill Defilers and Super can start being offensive. A failed attack from F91 gives Terran a good chance to get an advantage in the game. But right then new Defilers enter the picture and once again pushes the Terran back. When the Dark Swarms disappears Zerg has to back off and Terran once again can move out. At this point Super has about 50 more population than F91.

As Super tries to expand his second natural expansion he moves out his units, only to get interrupted by more Dark Swarms and small amounts of units by F91. Zerg expands at the 6 o' clock main base and it's natural expansion. Sper drops eight Marines to kill the 6 o' clock natural, and is able to do so just before some Zerglings comes to defend. Terran lands his Command Center at the 9 o' clock mineral only expansion, but at his normal expansion he get's pushed back by effective usage of Dark Swarm.

The small attacks keeps going on and Zerg destroys big amounts of Terran units with his skillful use of Dark Swarms. At the 9 o' clock mineral only expansion Super never gets time to start mining, as it gets destroyed by Zerglings. At his natural expansion he loses a lot of units when the attacks from F91 never stops coming. It get's even harder when Ultraisks enter the picture. Although, at the same time Super is cliffing F91's natural expansion where he kills the Hatchery and the Ulktralisk Cavern to mention some.

ipx3.jpgWith a low economy Super manages to kill off the attacks from F91, but only momentarily. With incredibly small amounts of units the Zerg is able to kill and push back the Terran army and at the same time stopping Terran from taking his mineral only expansion. Soon after, Super manages to get out with his units for the first time in the game. He kills a lot of attacking Zerg units and moves towards the 6 o' clock expansions. I suppose you don't get very surprised when I say that F91 with just some Zerglings fights the Terran army back with the help of some Dark Swarms.

The Terran army grows quickly, but F91 is able to kill some of it with Ultralisks and Zerglings before he has to back off. Soon after, the two players fight in the middle of the map, and with Swarms F91 is able to force the Terran units away at the same time as he attacks Super's mineral only expansion. Terran is able to defend, and he cliffs the 6 o' clock natural expansion wih a single tank, and stops Zerg from mining there. F91 makes a failed attack at Super's only source of income, but fails. The players face in the middle of the map with basicly all of their units. Zerg uses Swarms nicely and his Ultralisks kills off the majority of the Terran army.

With his tank drops Super is able to kill the 6 o' clock natural expansion totally, although F91 hasn't mined from there in a long time, since he has the 6 o' clock mineral only. Terran attacks with Marines, Medics and some Vessels, but with Ultralisks, Zerglings and well placed Swarms F91 kills the army. He sneaks into the Terran base, which forces Super to get there with his units, leaving the expansion undefended. Zerg quickly launces an attack with Zerglings and kills a bunch of SCV's and stops him from mining. Terran is able to take it back, and he moves forward with Science Vessels. He uses Irradiate on Ultralisks and on his own Vessels and kills some drones.

At 12 o' clock F91 gets a new expansion up. He has a lot of Zerglings in the middle, and together with Ultralisks and a Defiler he can take out the Command Center Super has at the 9 o' clock expansion. Although, he loses a lot of his units. Terran floats his main Command Center to the 12 o' clock natural expansion, and his natural expansion from 9 o' clock to the mineral only. He has a lot of Marines and Medics in the middle, and moves towards 6 o' clock with his Vessels and once again kills a lot of Drones with Irradiate. At 12 some Zerglings are attacking the Terran expansion, but Marines comes to defend. At that point Super spots the Zerg expansion in the 12 o' clock main base.

F91 makes a lot of Sunken Colonies, and Super moves his Marines up. He attacks and manages to kill all of the Sunken Colonies. Although, F91 quickly sent his units to kill the Terran expansion. He kills most of the SCV's and forces Super to back. He attacks with a lot of Marines, but then a Defiler comes and puts Dark Swarms up to even the fight out.

Who will win? Watch this 40 minutes long replay of pure entertiaining for yourself to find out.
