Randomhammer-ZurZurZur game with vulture-wraith opening

Randomhammer terran played its first public game with the vulture-wraith opening against zerg ZurZurZur. As I have mentioned, I wrote vulture-wraith originally as an extra test of Steamhammer’s anti-factory zerg opening. I found that the vultures and wraiths bring terror to unprepared zergs, so I made it a permanent part of the terran arsenal.

ZurZurZur, it turned out, was not prepared at all. It could not get a sunken colony up, and it did not get hydralisks into the fight until its natural was destroyed. By then it had lost all overlords so it could not reinforce and the hydras were quickly defeated. I can see how Tscmoo terran does so well with a similar strategy.

I’m working on zerg stuff now for the upcoming tournaments, but I have a note to revisit this opening. It shows its legacy as a test opening; the execution and followup could be much stronger.

Next: A latent bug.
