update : this pages and the replays are quite outdated. If you want to watch the zerg ones you need patch 1.10 that you can find here. I have many thing to do and this page is very low in my priority list.
Superpenguin Starcraft home page
to sum up : i'm a starcraft french "fastest possible map" player known as "superpenguin" on battle.net europe (and i go a few times on US east as "dnserror").
special link: thanx to the OZ team, for all cool game i played with them, be sure to check out their website (fr)
special link 2: for some reason, i also host the [ZO] team webpage, have a look at it if you are bored with usual XPERT GOSU clans : here it is (en)
Special link 3 : i wrote a money map guid (en). It's the best one ! It's THE ONLY ONE ! ;) Learn how to play money maps better.
Warrning : DISCLAIMER
The following map contains "money map" info and replays. If you dont want to heard about money map, stop reading now ! I know theres a lot of pro that will say "STUPID MONEY MAP PLAYER YOU DESTROY THE GAME !!! STARCRAFT = LT THAT'S FINAL !!! YOU ARE A BIG NOOB BECAUSE MONEY MAPS ARE FOR NOOBS AND HACKERS AND LOOSERS AND MENTALY DISABLED 4 YEARS ZERGLIN BRAINED PEOPLE". I will just say that i respect any players, i play LT 10% of the time, but i still find $$$ maps funny when played "no rulz", that's my opinion. And i also belive that there can be some tactical aspect in money maps : a noob can win some games with just mass unit, but in 50% of the game vs good players, scouting/dropping/nasty probes attack/containment/unit counters/balance between teching or improving production or making units or defending, and the so unfamous photon & suken rush (the way you react to them or the way you do them :), even spell micro make a huge difference. See the replay bellow if you want to have a look.
Warrning : DISCLAIMER 2
These replays includes some wins and looses, and every time a nice fight :) That's why if you see your name in the list dont think that i consider you has a big looser or something like that. If your name is here, it's because you are a challenging opponent (or on 2vs1 replays, you are at last a half challenging opponent ;) but note i have secret replays where i play so bad i loose 2vs1 with a good ally). If i killed you once, it doesn't mean that i'm better than you, you cant figure that out on one game. If you want to take revenge, just tell me... If you have a replay showing how hard you crushed me that i "forgot" to put on this page, just tell me too... the "rating" is how enjoing the replay is, not how good the player is.
General info : i accept any 1vs1 norulz challenge on $$$ maps in the weekend, just type "/w superpenguin hey, you want to have a nice loose ?" on battlenet europe gateway, and if i have time, and if i'm not allready in a game, i will love to see how well you kill me :)

PvPZ_1vs2_nhg_noobs.rep
duration : 30 min
rating : +
me : urgranma_beatme (P)
vs : zizigoui[nhg] and titigoui[nhg]
result : Brood war replay only easy win vs 2 insulting noobs
comments : in general when i win a 1vs2 vs a clan, they loose with honor and ask for rematch. NHG is not this clan :) i got an easy win killing them with reavers (about 7 reaver drops) and finishing the remains with carriers. after the game, they insulted me. i got the usual "you hack" but that was after the "you noob" but before the "i will send you a blaster virus to break your PC". FYI this www server is also a firewall, and it block about 1700 blaster packets every day, i even limited the logs to record only the 1st attempt / IP to save some space.
TvZ_morales_2_loose_GG.rep
duration : 30 min
rating : ++++
me : (T)
vs : Poseidon[oz] (Z)
result : loose after a long nice game
comments : Poseidon[oz], alias morales-djen is probably one of the best player of my /f list, with a reactive and dynamic style. We had two 1vs1 games, i loosed both of them, the first one in TvP with just an early reaver drop, not something very interesting to look at. But the 2nd game in this replay was more balanced even if i end up by loosing. At 10 min, i had a not too bad rines/tanks attack, but a bigger mutaling eat them. Then after a little unsuccessfull muta attack, at 15 min while doing 2nd tank push, i got hdyra droped. We are both managing attack/defence at the same time, both attacks did substancial damages, but the game stay balanced and in both cases, deffence was the succesfull part of the tactic. I attacked again at 25 but poseidon had a good enough production rate to defend himself, and counter with some force keeped outside. Finally, it was a guardians + hydra + dark swarm vs rines + tanks + bc. The 10 tanks died very quickly, and i was quickly destroyed after that. I think my bad macro costed me the game, with suboptimal SCV production, less units, to few production building and too slow upgrads, mainly because of tanks micro management time waist, and my poor multitasking ability as a terran or protoss.
ZvP_det_funkar_GG.rep
duration : 20 min
rating : ++++
me : (P)
vs : Det_Funkar (P)
result : hard start, but good win
comments : I know Det_Funkar as a friend of Kayzer_Soze, and they are both good fastest map player. He started with a cannon rush, and zeze attack at the same time. I only managed to block it to save my main, and survived to long mass zeze with suken + ling + muta defence. When i had my firsts mutas, i managed to get some near his main nexuis to kill some probes out of his cannon range. While he was attacking my heavily defended main, i managed to build a second base, and i was at 9 hatch when he discovered it. It was too late, and the expansive cannon limited him at 8 gates, too few to attack effectively, and zealots vs muta where not teribly usefull. Finaly i killed his nexuis with guards, and killed the remaining forces with hydralings. The lesson for det_funkar sould be : if you contain someone, be sure he is not safely building outside of the containement.
ZvP_n00b30.rep
duration : 15 min
rating : +++
me : (Z)
vs : nOOb3O (T)
result : relatively easy win
comments : After a cannon rush attempt at 5min and a big zeze/gons attack counterd by 6 suken and a muta/ling defence at 12, i had enough with 20 hatch to fight against the 5 gates protoss. Guardians were very effective to assassinate the slowly walking reavers, i and countered quickly the attack with a mass ling stored outside of my base.
CR_war.rep
duration : 10 min
rating : +
me : (P)
vs : LtD-Nova (P) MAPHACKER
result : easy win
comments : LtD-Nova probably used his protoss psychic ability to find me (look at the first screenshot with his vision), and tryed a cannon rush on me. Having my first zealot early, it wasnt difficult to stop it, especialy because it wasn't hidden to much, so i noticed it very early. Then i took a nice revenge by cannon rushing him back, with lawfull scouting, and this guy probably dont know how to look at his full map because his zealots came just too late.
SURVIVOR_!!!_TROP_FORT.rep
duration : 20 min
rating : +++++
me : (Z)
vs : hole_in_1 (T)
result : Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah! Staying Alive, Staying Alive :)
comments : An incredible game, i started like a noob with 6 hatch and nearly no units. hole_in_one has gone 4 rax 2 fact, and sieged me with rined bunkers and tanks at 8 min. The situation was realy desesperated, when suddenly... Stop reading, look at the replay... if you have to see only one replay on this page, it's this one !
SURVIVOR2_encore_plus_fort.rep
duration : 30 min
rating : ++++
me : dnserror (T) on US east
vs : cyberdope (Z)
result : desesperated win
comments : After an average efficient rines rush, seeing mass def + hydra , i decided to go for BC. Cyberdope has gone 30 hatch while i was building my BC. after a first attack when i was at about 10 bc, i survived but severly hurted by those muta/guard/hydra/ling. A fast depot rebuild allowed me to stay in the fight. with about 20 bc, i attacked his main hatch while i was attacked in my base with hundreds of lings. The only thing that saved me is the fact that terran can lift buildings.

me : dnserror (Z) on us est
vs : 01194042233 (T) it's not his real name, 0-0-0 stats with this level his not possible, i would like to know how he is realy
result : hard win
comments : My opponent was a very good player. he started with rines + tanks and was hiting me hard... so hard he said "GG" at 10 min when he had 10 tanks + 20 rines in my nearly dead base and seeing only 5 hatch, but that was before my mutaling counter that was quite efficient at regaining control. I was also safely building an other base with about 20 hatch at the end of the game. after a goliath + tanks, seeing my mutaling still hurt, he switched to goliaths only, when i started mass hydra.
fysor_beat_me_twice.rep
duration : 20 min
rating : ++++
me : (T)
vs : fysOx (z)
result : serious loose
comments : A good player again. I started with 2 tanks + rines rush, but early hydra killed them. I decided to switch mass bc with the classical drone irad, but he hurted me with 30 muta after 10 min (you can see his heavy hotkey usage even in the way the group of muta comme), destroying my 10 AA turrets and my 2 cc. Stopping marines was my big mistake. But one irad and 2 BC helped me to get ride of the 20 remaining mutas in a very efficient way. But with low ressources, i couldnt handle the end of the game, vs mutalings. With as few as 7 hatch, he used a good tactic to kill me before BC.
tvp_dll_r_good_toss.rep
duration : 25 min
rating : ++++
me : (T)
vs : dll_r (T)
result : win (he said "i had to go, may i have ae pliz" when i had 20 rines + 5 bc in his base)
comments : A start with 15 gates + few zeze, when i runned a few bats to dll_r probes, all burned in 5 seconds of flames :) But he countered with about 30 zealots, severly hitting me too. I continued mass bats + rines in 2 base, my main was then attacked with 3 unsuccessfull huge waves of zealots. I then started BC, and it was a mass bc + mass rines vs a mass gon + a few scouts. Rines proved verry good against gons, and bc helped to break the low deffences in his base. You will see a high production rate for both players in this game. Who said terrans was the less powerfull race on $$$ maps ?
2vs1_PPvsZ_superguard.rep
duration : 25 min
rating : ++++
me : (Z)
vs : portugese69 (P) & plectognathi (P)
result : average win
comments : In this game, my ally quit before any fight vs 2 toss... Fortunatly, my enemies didn't start too fast, by going defensive first. The next part of the game had a good timing for me : i had muta when they was at zealots, and at guardians/lings vs gons, and i only had to fight 2 carriers when the game was allready won.
win_without_hydra.rep
duration : 20 mins
rating : ++++
me : (Z) & ((gunman)) (P), leaved after 9 mins
vs : ESS]NoX[cLA (P) & ESS]Dryad[CLA (P)
result : average win
comments : gunman helped me to survie easyer the first zealots rush, and to counter one opponents with a successfull nexus rush at 6 mins. But he leaved without reason, and i had to fight 1 vs 1.5 :) i survived the attack 2 mins latter with suken + guardians + lings vs zealots + gons, and countered with lings on the 2nd main nexus. i builded 15 more hatch (i had only 10) while fighting the gons. i then tryed the interesant ultra/guards combo, which is a funny thing to try vs ground if you dont know how to waist your gaz. I still think it would have been as much effective if i had spend all the gaz in guardian, without ultra, but that was an nice "fatality" :)
1vs1_vasco[ipc].rep
duration : 20 min
rating : +++
me : (T)
vs : TI-IC[vasco] (Z)
result : domination
comments : In this game, i think i have done everything a zerg can be affraid of : early overlord killing, tank + rines (i should have go harder with that, the game could have been faster), probe irad and finaly BC. Vasco is not too bad, but he just didn't had any chance vs that, i'm sure he had found that game stressfull.
1vs7 comp
I will not put any "me : (P)" replays because its trivialy easy to put a few fotons and go mass carrier. 1vs7 can be just a little challenging the first time you play it as terran or zerg, but it ends up in the same conclusion, "the computer is stupid on money maps" :) i tryed to vary from the classical "all air win" with some more challenging techniques.
Tvs7P_mass_rines.rep
duration : 30 min
rating : +
me : (T) local game
vs : 7 stupid comps (P)
result : win
comments : The only thing that is a little hard to master is the walling (if not done correctly, the first zealot wave can be fatal). I'm not sure it's as easy on other starts points on the map. 2 CC start with just a wall and a few baracks and the depos wall. Then upgrade all + mass rax production, mass rines production (a few bats if you want) and when ready (>120/200) break your wall and look all the suicidal zalots. After that you just have to look at the huges points moving from your base to those enemys on the mini-map. Reavers hurts a little but it's still easy with some minimal micro.
Zvs7P_mass_lings.rep
duration : 17 min
rating : +
me : (Z) local game
vs : 7 stupid comps (P)
result : easy win
comments : You just need a slow-down wall in front with a few suken behind... after that it's probes/hatch/a few more suken/1 gaz upgrade during 5 mins and mass lings. I bet i could have been under 15 mins with a lower number of hatch. You can even kill them 2 by 2, the game will end before you see more than one or two scouts/reavers.
