Hit level four since the "new" reset with this win. (Actually I think it reset at the beginning of March.) Opponent didn't play too well, I don't even know if he crept or not, but he attacked me with only about 5 ghouls and his Death Knight. He focused the DH with his ghouls, not the archers... 'nuff said.
The bases I guess are not too far apart but it seems like a long way to go, I think perhaps you're better off just creeping to start on this particular map. Anyways in our short fights I did fairly well focus-firing his ghouls. Picked up some extra ranged mercs as well while I was waiting for my AoL's to come online. Also took the Panda as 2nd hero which I used OK.
Here's the replay if you'd like to watch it. Not much to see really, pretty low calibre of play. Hopefully the next games will be a bit better, though it's nice to win.
