Players: SisterRay(RLA) and aP_TaKtIkS Game Type: 1 on 1 Map: Rivalry

         This was a 1v1 game between aP_TaKtIkS and SisterRay(RLA). SisterRay(RLA) who will now be known as SisterRay, created the game on Rivalry + 4 observers. aP_TaKtIkS who I will call ap, joined right before me, and with his traditional "manner game, no dis, chobo," we were off. The game starts off with ap in the bottom right corner, and SisterRay taking the top right start. ap warps in a Pylon and Forge at the bottom of his ramp, soon followed by a Nexus at his natural minerals. 2 cannons are put up to be used as defense from a Marine attack. His Gateway warps in soon after about 8 probes are transfered from the over-mined main. SisterRay also sets up her (I'm assuming that SisterRay is a girl because of the obvious) base. A Supply Depot is constructed, and while her Barracks is about half done, a Refinery is started. A scouting SCV reveals to her two cannons warping in at a fully mining natural expansion. It runs away with a Probe following it, but the Probe breaks off the chase about half way to the blue base. Now as soon as gas allows, a Factory is constructed. ap warps his Cybernetics Core and Citadel of Adun in at his natural expansion, soon followed by a Templar Archives at his main. A second Gateway is also constructed.

         Seeing the lack of mobile defense on the part of ap, SisterRay calls her force of 1 Siege Tank and 7 Marines to attack ap's base. A cannon is leveled, and ap still doesn't have any way of stopping the siege with only 1 Zealot availible. A second Tank rolls onto the battlefield, soon followed by 2 more. ap now seems in a real fix, but unknown to SisterRay, the Templar Archives in ap's main has finished, and a lone Dark Templar jumps through the warp gates from Shakuras, and starts to annihilate the Terran attack force. A Tank is destroyed to the invisible warrior's Psi Blade before SisterRay notices and pulls everything back to her base. The DT is able to kill several marines and vultures before mines were layed down, taking it out. But on explosion, the mines killed the Vultures that layed them as well as the DT.

         With the Terran threat gone, ap expands to the bottom left start position. ap tries to take the advantage in the game by containing SisterRay. Dark Templar, Zealots, and Dragoons head towards SisterRay's natural, stopping there to make sure no expansion is put up. But as soon as SisterRay notices this, a group of tanks moves into position, sieging at the bottom of the ramp. The only Protoss unit left alive is a lone Dark Templar. But when a Science Vessel flies overhead, it is immediately vaporized by six Tank shots. A scouting Vulture runs right into ap's bottom left expansion, killing at least 8 probes before some Dragoons come to remedy this small problem. But a not so small problem was heading directly for ap's exp there, some 10+ tanks a Science Vessel, a couple Vultures and a Marine start firing upon the Pylons and Gateway surrounding the Nexus. The whole Protoss Goon, Zealot, and DT army marches over to save the expansion, but SisterRay quickly sieges up 7 of the tanks, and in just a few seconds, all that remains is some blue soup and ahses. Needless to say, the expansion is razed and the Terran now has his own expansion, to the top middle base.

         ap sees that most of his opponents tanks are still out, and sends an attack force of speedlots and some Dragoons to his opponent's main. They are killed off by a bunker and some Vultures and Tanks, but a scouting shuttle finds SisterRay's expansion in the top middle as well as one a new one in the top left. A second attack force makes its way to SisterRay's first expansion. SCV's are destroyed, and SisterRay is forced to lift off her Command Center so that the attack force of Zealots could not destroy it. ap now takes the bottom middle resource node to replace the one he just lost. The left over Zealot force tried to attack the top left start, but mines detered this idea. SisterRay now gathers up her tanks and rolls into ap's natural, looking for revenge. But without any support units, the Tanks are quickly turned into scrap metal.
