vs.
][_urker
The game is off,][_urker choosing zerg for this battle, while Allusion goes for the Protoss race. ][_urker takes his mark at the 9 o'clock position, right next to Allusion who warped in at 6 o'clock. ][_urker decides to go for an early second hatchery, right next to his first, soon to be followed by a spawning pool.
He then expands to his natural, seeking more resources to power his swarm.
Meanwhile, back at the protoss base, Allusion has already built 2 gateways and 3 pylons, pumping zealots this whole time. He decides to rush with his first 4 zealots, and comes upon about 10 zerglings gaurding the just finishing hatchery.
The zerglings are quickly slaughtered by the zealots and then the hatchery gets its turn. More zerglings coming from the two hatches inside the zerg base pour zerglings, and manage to take down 3 of the 4 inital zealots. But not before the hatchery is put into the red. ][_urker is content at this point, but Allusion sends in another wave of zealots, this time numbering seven.
Once the hatchery falls, the zealots sweep into ][_urker's main base, slaughtering zerglings, as well as an unfinished sunken colony. The zealots attack the zerg main structures, damaging many, but are defeated to a new sunken and a drone bum rush.
A scouting zergling finds a new nexus warping in at the Protoss natural, and trying to match the enemy resource income, ][_urker expands to the 12 o'clock main base. But while the Zerg brood is rebuilding its lost structures, a probe and comes along with a handful of zealots and dragoons, trying to build a containment field of cannons on the zerg plateu. This doesn't go unnoticed however, and a load of zerglings plus 3 lurkers are dispatched to annihilate the Protoss encampment. Unfortunately, at this time ][_urker hadn't shared vision with me, so you can't see the lurkers.
Once the containment was driven back, the lurkers unburrowed and marched, errr... scuttled down the ramp. Another containment attempt was quelled by the subterranean spines, causing the Protoss warriors to retreat another few steps. A defensive lurker push started, as ][_urker drove the invaders away via macro micro.
Seeing the hoplessness of a containment field without detection, Allusion calls up a robotics, and observatory. As soon as the observer arrives at ][_urker's choke, the lurkers are destroyed. Allusion sends in his dragoons and zealots, but fails to destroy the zerg presence. ][_urker now has his 12 o'clock expansion running smooth, and resources coming in fast.
Allusion has secretly built about 8 corsairs, and sends them in to assassinate overlords. The protoss commander ignores the 2 spore colonies and kills every last overlord in the zerg base. He loses one corsair, and goes out looking for some more blood to spill.
A scouting observer reveals ][_urker's expansion at the 12 o'clock, and the whole protoss army is sent to destroy it. The first to fall was the 12 o'clock natural expansion, then the stalwart warriors made their way into the main 12 o'clock expansion. But ][_urker is able to save this one through an active Nydus canal, transporting 20+ hydras and a group of zerglings.
][_urker expands twice more in rapid succesion, taking his main base natural, and the mineral base of the 12 o'clock. This costs him though, for he is unable to produce the necessary men to repel the next Protoss invasion on his 12 o'clock expansion....
Now it is only a matter of time before the HUGE Protoss army rolls though the zerg bases. And the attack does come, in the form of mass ground troops and an observer.
The expansion is razed in record time, and the triumphant Dragoons/Zealots pound the Zerg hive cluster into the ground, leaving only creep and little bony holes.
][_urker is now down to his last expansion at the 12 o'clock mineral spot. Scouting corsairs soon find it, and the Protoss war machine finishes off its competition, taking full control of The Lost Temple.
Comments
- I enjoyed watching this epic battle between two great players.
- Picture heavy reports are better because they give you a more realistic feel for the game.
- I hope you enjoyed reading my 3rd Battle Report.
- I hope this report turns out ok... But all in all, it seems ok on the preview report option, but if it doesn't work for some odd reason, I will repost it.
- Please don't be so harsh on the rating, as you have seem so many Bob_the_Newt and Mark4 Battle Reports, you will probably compare, but I am not so good... yet.
- Lastly, I would like to thank ][_urker and Allusion for a great game.
