Jasonien vs DarkPrimus
Map: Blood Bath
STF 2.0.1

Okie dokie! Well, once Primus and I got our Engineer build going, he attacked me with a Scout. Now, these things are really annoying early game, and even though I get rushed EVERY game with these, I never do anything about it. *smacks self*

Fortunately, he wasn’t able to get away from the elite Engineers. Engineers are the perfect counter to Scouts early game, when you have plenty, and they have only 1 or 2 scouts.

Now, while the attack was going on, I started to build a Pyrotechnics facility in my base. I wanted to use the raw power of the Demomen and Pyros. So, when it gets finished, I start a Refinery, and 2 Scouts. Even though Scouts are…well…scouts, they’re still useful late game because of their extraordinary speed and fire rate. Pyro’s cost too much gas for me to produce this early in the game, they’re 150/100, compared to the 175/75 of the Demomen. Also, for the straight on assault that I wanted on his base, I needed something with raw hitting power. The Demomen’s grenades are the answer to that prayer. You CANNOT micro against Demomen, the 4 grenades that they fire act like Valkyrie missiles, so they will do damage wherever they hit.

So, once I got my Demoman, I attacked his base. I was lucky, he didn’t have any military units yet, except for a Medic, who I assumed didn’t have the offensive research that allows her to attack yet. So, I targeted the mineral line, and he lost a WHOLE lot of Engineers. But, the weakness of the Demoman is that the splash can hurt him too. The Demoman essentially killed himself with his own grenades, the Engineers were too close for comfort.

Now, I had my Pyrotechnics Facility pumping out Pyro after Pyro, so, I had about 3 of them, and I sent them over to his base. The Pyro’s flamethrower is a VERY cool weapon, so I decided to use it as much as possible. He has 2 attack modes, one for ranged attack, one for close range. The flamethrower doesn’t do much damage, but it lights them on fire, quickly eats away hp. Then I proceeded to finish his base off.



End Results
Winner: Jasonien
Coolest Unit: Pyro, by far, as you will see in the above picture.
