Personal+Narrative+RR2

Have you ever done something that makes you feel really proud and happy at what you've done? Well, I did. It was in the summer, August 20th to be specific. That was the day I won a video-gaming tournament.

There were a total of 5 matches that I was in, including the championship, in the tournament. The first match was against one of the underdogs, Daniel Kim. The match started out very normal. There were no rushes, or cheeses, which is like a very early rush that wins you the game. At about 15 minutes in the game, I attacked. The bad part was, I left my best units back at home by accident. My army was destroyed, and I threw the game away. I tried to defend myself but it was hopeless.

The next game I played was against another major underdog, Ryan Razaki. He had just faced James and lost. This game, unlike the one befroe it, was a very quick and easy game. I used the strategy called a "4 Gate." That means that I got four gateways, which are buildings that produce army units, and attacked him. The startegy was timed perfectly with my money, or mineral, income to be able to constantly produce units. Ryan, who had gone for a very greedy build, died from the attack.

The next match that I played was against my best friend, Paco. His actual name is Daniel Santini, but there are too many Daniels so we call him Paco. He was and I were supposed to meet in the championship, but he himself had lost a match against and underdog, James Kim. This was by far the match I was the most nervous about. If I lost there, my tournament life would be over. I was probably the underdog in that match, since Paco played the race Zerg, which was my least favorite race. It started off as a regular match, both of us making a large army and taking many bases. Then, I decided to play a tricky move. I had about 5 oracles, which are flying units that kill workers fast, kill all of his workers. He was forced to attack, and when I sucessfuly held off his attack using oracles and ground units, I had won the game.

The next game was against James Kim. I was feeling pumped, seeing as I had a chance to go to the finals. I use the same strategy as I did against Ryan. I used the notorious "4 Gate" strategy, and I killed him the way I did to Ryan. It was a little bit harder, because James had not been so greedy, but In the end I beat him. From what my friends say, I started dancing around when I beat James. I was finally in the championship.

The next day, I was in the championship against Daniel Kim. It was online this time, because we didnt have time for everybody to come to my house. I started the first match using the same strategy that I had used against Paco. I got a couple of oracles and killed all his workers. I won the match very easily, because he wasn't ready for it. The next match was a little bit harder than the first one. It got to be the exact same scenario as the first game I had played in the tournament. This time, I didn't leave my units at my base, and I won the game by a landslide.

Well, that was the time I won a video-gaming tournament. It was a little bit anticlimactic in the end, but it was fun. I won two of the //Rush Hour// movies as my prize. What about the time you did something amazing?
