Hello, this peon-[a1]. This is my second text-written BR. I find these BRs incredibly hard to make and I give props to those who are able to make such fantastic reports. Sadly, I have no pics except the final scores and i wish i had nifty little arrow buttons like Mogalin and alt text like BoB_tHe_NeWt. Here goes, be kind....


Settings:
Chosen Battle Ground: Lost Temple
Players: SSD4(the smurf) NO~Rulez(the canadian)and I-ball(the idiot)

Necessary Information:
SSD4: Zerg at 9'o'clock(chose)
I-ball: Zerg at 3'o'clock(chose)
NO~Rulez: Zerg at 12'o'clock(randomed)
whacked_peon: Protoss 6'o'clock(randomed
*random is for real men :)*


Starting point:

Ok well, me and NO~Rulez tryed to figure out best b/o's for anti Zerg.
I did this b/o:
-8 pylon
-12 dual gateways
*try to tech to templars before getting my ass handed to me*

No~Rulez b/o:
-10/9 hatch at choke
-10/9 again spawning pool.
-9 Overlord.

I'm also going to try to guess what SSD4's b/o was and I-balls.

SSD4's B/O: ( I know he did a strong Hydra b/o so here's my best bet)
-Overlord on 8
-11 hatchery offset in expansion
-12-13 Spawning pool
-15 Hatch in Expansion again.

I-ball's B/O:
-10/9 hatch at choke
-9 Pool
-Overlord
-hatchery at Expan (looks like triple hatch)

Early game action:

Ok, NO~Rulez is basing his B/O around mutes, and he's going for them hard. I decide to Zlot/Temp so I pump 2 zlots out and place them at my Choke accompanied with 2 probes incase of a double rush.

Scouting shows: That SSD4 is going hard Hydras and I-ball is just forming a Hatch in his expan with 8 lings. I take my 3 zlot/2 Probe combo to dispense some indiscriminate justice upon poor I-ball (earlier I beat his 12 lings with 3 probes and 2 zlots and lost nothing, so he gets a bit stressed when he sees Zlots and probes.)

I get to the Zerg base and find 1 colony and 1 sunken forming in. I dispense of the Zergling threats and try to kill the low amount of drones there. A get few and then more lings pop up. I micro my Zlots to the back and running them in circles, while my probes Weakened them: It worked like a charm. As I start to rape his lone choke hatch, SSD4 comes parading in with 12 lings: I kill all but 5 with my little pimp squad, the damage was done.

Mean while, NO~Rulez was cooking up some Mutes in the oven. Seeing as how I-ball had: no den(it was morphing) and no Lair, he was pretty much screwed. While the Mutes wreaked havok, I took this moment to expand seeing as how NO~Rulez hadn't expanded, I would need to power to match wits with SSD4.

SSD4 finally rescues I-ball by sending in 12 hydras to dispose of the Muta threat. By this time: I have a fully functional Expansion, 6 gates(2 warping in) and High templars on their way. I have a great amount of excess gas so i make about 6 Temps.

Then, I just powered like a whore.

As I'm collecting my forces of 24 Zlots and 6 temps, NO~rulez was being attacked by SSD4's Hydra horde. NO~Rulez has some very respectable Micro skills and holds off the Hydras until my Zlots can mop up. SSD4 did a very cunning move, where he charged up NO~Rulez's ramp and held posistion and only allowing my forces to attack 3 at a time, but he was finally Exterminated.

"Time to counter.."

With my 2/0/0 upgrade done, going against 0/0 hydras, I was ready to rock. I moved my Zlots into the middle of the map and threw down 6 more gates: 8 at my main, 2 at my expansion, 2 at my second natural.

The Down Fall of SSD4 and his Smurfer ways:

NO~Rulez and I attacked (me going Zlot/temp while him going Mutaling). The final battle looked promising, I had lost most of my Zealots and NO~Rulez lost some of his Mutes he retreated when more Hydras came on the scene. This attack was ver critical for us because:

a.) We took out his second natural
b.) Took a few hatches
c.) Forced his Natural mining drones into his main.

Rebuild time:
I was nearly ready to go because I was pumping hard Zlots from all gates and was ready to attack again. My forces were sitting idle in my gimme when all of a sudden SSD4 pulls 16+ hydras out of his ass and is determined to Finish NO~Rulez. I take this moment to counter.

I take my surplus of Zlot warriors, rally at in the middle: and command them to go attack the Zerg forces. I attack the base with lot's of Hydras waiting. Since I have 12 gates running I easily replenish the fallen warriors and send wave after wave. After destroying his natural and Gimme, his main was toast because he had no defense. GG's were exchanged and he asks for vision in order to see the destruction of I-ball.

Taking down I-ball was relatively easy because my 35+ Speed 3/1/0 Zlots were no match for the only ranged upgraded 18+ hydras.

SSD4: "The protoss is the only one with any skills around here." (I had to plug this because it's such an Ego Boost.)

Lesson learned:


- hehe, this had been said before: "Macro does beat Micro"
- NO~Rulez thinks he's a canadian pimp because he can hold of hydra attacks.
-Bob_the_Newt inspired me to write this BR cus I had to save his ass in a game we played before.
-You don't need pics, err, wait yea you do.
-Protoss have some serious ass kicking abilities (so do zerg)
-Mutes > Lings (cough*I-ball*cough*)
- Werd.

whacked_peon: out.
