(as in any other report that has a few pictures, there
has got to be one)
This report is abnormaly picture
heavy (next to the average battlereport). However, next to one
of my older, it has slightly more :P. Please, scroll thru the
report at high speeds, lose track of your mouse pointer and
make the little scroll bar reset to the top, then let go and
watch your browser perform an illegal operation and shut down,
closing off your 10 other browsers that were currently on
forums while you were waiting for this to download. (that is a
very long sentence, describing what will probobly
happen to you:). Anyways, after you get yourself settled, come
back and read the report, after the images load!
The above picture was taken by me..
after I pressed the Ladder button out of curiosity, to see how
high the abusers had gotten yet. I figured around 2400, with
one or two being reset.. but wow, all 10 reset? What a treat:)
Anyhoo...
PROLOGUE!
Heyzers! welcome to yet another utterly-godlike
battlereport of mine. Here's the
intro!!#!#!#!!!##!#!#!#!!#!##!#!#!#! (n stuff)
give this a 10It was a calm day, I was sitting
around in clan nwtr, looking for a game to observe and report
since I had that feelin' in my gut that I needed to do one!
So, I start to offer 2v2 br! 2v2 br! 2v2 br! need 4 for a 2v2
br! join game probe9/probe9 for a 2v2'ed br!
me=godSo I make it on one of my many, many, many versions of
observer lost temple, and 5 people join. Some dude called
ILost=[ (I do not know him, don't ask) Whoop (using his name
that shows the activity in channel A-X), [FLS]prozerran (using
the name SukADik! yes, really) King-Lewis (also in A-X, using
his name Advisor-X) and last , but most definetly least [jk],
OrcManiac (using his A-X clan name, Assaillant-X ).
me=godOriginally, Orc didn't want to play,
so he was in the other observer slot with me. But, since
everybody knows King-Lewis and OrcManiac are regular team
partners, we all bugged Orc to play. ILost=[, on the other
hand, was being commented on by whoop, saying he didn't know
him, and stuffs. Nobody wanted to be with the outcast, so
eventually one of them rejoined , orc played, and ILost=[ went
to the other observer slot. Yay! So now we have Whoop /
Prozerran vs Orc / Lewis ! A classic battle of nwtr regulars.
For those of you that don't know any better, nwtr
>>>>>>>>>>> nohunters :-b
(teehee, that should get more comments from you people out
there)
you will give this report a 10Lets meeeeeeeet the players, even tho
you all probobly know them anyways. This is just an area for
me to make witty and sarcastic comments about all of the
players. BY THE WAY-- I am changing Lewis' brown color to blue
for the report, so you can read his name easier :-b
 Whoop, known as the man that surfs the
internet and acts cool for 250k a year, he is a well known
player for his macro style of playing. Having gone under
dozens of smurf names, he has whomped on many a public BGH
newbie along with prozerran and ice, as well as others. He has
randomed to terran in this battle (i think).
 [FLS]prozerran, also known as prozzy,
Big-Penis (hence the short filename of this picture, 'bp.gif')
, is using a name that again relates to the male 'unit' ,
SukADik!. Prozerran is known as the zerg star that lost in
both of YourRoleModels World War 3Way FFa's (whee). [FLS] is
"a short chinese guy with black hair and glasses" as he
himself described. He has also randomed to terran in this
battle (again, i think).
-VeRsUs-
 OrcManiac, also known as CathyOwnz (since,
if you haven't read King-Lewis' battlereport, Cathy and Orc
have strong online feelings toward each other;). OrcManiac
used to be a pure terran player, until he relized how much
they get slaughtered by protoss in ladder, which is when he
started randoming and picking races other than terran. Orc is
a quebecer (sp?) and speaks pure french in his games with
lewis, with starcraft terms thrown in. Orc randomed to zerg in
this game.
 King-Lewis, also having a few smurf names,
is a quebecer along with orc. He too speaks french in his
games with orc. King-Lewis was a star in my last battlereport
too. He randomed to protoss this game. (notice how lewis has
the shortest description text? He isn't cool enough for me to
say anything interesting about him.)

Editor hidden text fun. Midi is missing. |
The
above is to start playing a midi I attached. For those of you
that never played Final Fantasy 3, it is Kefka's theme music.
I think it fits the report if you play it now, instead of
having it play from the start. Enjoy! :)
The Actual Game!
The game started off with the players
selecting their peons, telling them all to harvest the same
chunk, then the lag screen came up and every player dropped
from the game. Well, no, not really, but it did lag for a
couple of seconds then it all got clear , when every player
and their brother give this a 10 Set network for extra high latency . After all of the latency settings
were set, they began playing, while I spammed for them all to
Ally me
ally / vis me
vision me
fools
ally me so i can hear your chat
ally me
ally
me
ally me
ally me
vision me !
 I then tell my fellow observer ILost=[ to "gp" (go
private [put on allied chat] duh ). Well, apparently he didn't
know what that meant, as the other players had some debating
on what it meant.
After the players scout
each other and state their plans to their allies, their build
orders become sortof clear;
Whoop walls
off his base with the classic depot-depot-barracks approach,
quickly getting a factory and then a starport, apparently
going for quick turbo-newbies to shut down the early expansion
Orc took.
Prozerran goes
for a wall off also, but he obviously does know that
you cannot properly wallin his 3 o clock position. Zealots (or
any unit that is medium sprite size but small official size)
can fit thru the area to the left of the ramp, which is
usually where a depot goes. That is why he most likely
extended his wallin to build a bunker there. He also builds a
command center asap, most obviously to float it to his natural
or island to get an early economic advantage.
Orc does a
standard zerg build for 2v2's , hatchery at ramp, 1-2 sunkens
, and zerglings. He gasses quite early, with a lair morphing
shortly thereafter, and a 3rd hatchery.
Orc is most
likely going for the Zerg vs Zerg strategy of choice, fast
zerglings and mutalisks.
King- Lewis does a
common pylon-gate-gate-pylon build order, with gas shortly
after. The probe in the pic them warps in a pylon, and then a
cybernetics core after another pylon or so. Zealots gather at
the ramp, and an overlord from Orc
provides detection.
All of the players continue to build up,
harvest minerals, make troops, and float command centers, in
Prozerrans
case. Orc makes
zerglings, King- Lewis starts
on Dragoons with more zealots, Whoop
starting on more barracks , and BP with more barracks as
well. Orc then
expands to his first natural expansion.
 ILost shares with me how he rarely loses a
particular matchup, while I gleefully take dozens of
screenshots of peons harvesting and scvs acting stupid.
 Prozerran starts
on tanks and more marines, while getting his island expansion
up and running. ILost shares his opinion on what Lewis should
(attempt) to do vs Prozerran, and ,
well, we all know what would happen.
Whoop has
teched up to starports, and created a wraith before his
control tower add on and dropships. The wraith goes exploring,
killing an Overlord that was terrainspotting. Whoop loads
up a dropship containing 3 marines, 1 scv and a tank, and
heads over to Orcs cliff
overlooking his expansion. Orc,
however, almost has a spire completed, which he cleverly hid
at his ramp hatchery's creep, so the average
comsat-at-the-main-base-to-see-the-tech wont find it :-b. He
also created a queens nest, however that was at his main
base.
Lewis , being
the smart frenchy he is, created a robotics facility
previously to help deal with the threat of turbo newbies. He
also went to the templar tech, getting dark templar and high
templar. He still does not think 2 techs is enough however,
and creates a stargate as well, and builds some corsairs,
bringing his total tech routes up to THREE
 Whoop unloads
his dropship at the very tip of Orc's
ledge, and starts a bunker, with a tower shortly after. He
does not send the marines and tanks to engage yet, he waits
till the bunker and tower are finished, so he gets the maximum
killing of drones and units before he can run them away. Lewis drops
off 4 zealots to try to uproot the terran, but soon a second
shuttle of reinforcements come, and the zealots are driven
back, with the terran suffering 0 casualties.
By the time that expansion is down, Whoop has
teched up to covert-ops, and a nuclear silo, while taking his
natural. [font color=yellow>FLS] then
takes his natural, now having 2 sources of income (island and
natural). Lewis takes
his natural expansion as well, defending it with some photon
cannons, templar of assorted types, and zealots. Whoop heads
down to Lewis' cliff
overlooking his natural, and unloads 2 ghosts,
precloaked. A science vessal that was escorting the shuttle
fires an EMP shockwave projectile at the nexus, instantly
lowering its shields. Corsairs and Dragoons destroy the
Science Vessal as soon as it finishes EMPing, but then the
ghost walks up right next to the two dragoons, shuttle, and
corsair, and then we have...
With
the instant annihilation of his expansion, King- Lewis was
angry. And myself, being the observer, was cheering with joy,
as nukes make for awesome battlereports :))))))). So after
that happend, Lewis started
rebuilding his expansion, and set to work on observers.
Orc, having
0 expansions, sneaks a Drone out and takes Lewis' second
natural expansion , the mineral only.
Orc also
had plans on taking his own natural back as well, with a Hive
finishing and his Spire beginning the transformation into a
Greater Spire.
 With a
little comment from ILost_=[ the game boringly continues.
Then, Orc's
Greater Spire  finished, and he has started to morph 8 or so
Mutalisks into cocoons, most likely devourers so he can
mass-suicide all of them into the bunker/bunker/turret/turret
defence of the turbo newbie and drown them all in blood. Well
actually he morphed them to Guardians, then attack moved them
to the top left hand corner, with support from Corsairs. The
battle(?) wasn't interesting because , well, bunkers and
turrets sortof just sit back and watch as Guardians throw
their globs of acid at them.
Whoop, by
himself, decides to attack Lewis. He
encounters Orc's
expansion, the one that he took when his natural was being
sieged. 18 or so marines and a couple medics unload their
gauss fire into the hatchery. Lewis
immediatly sends a large group of dragoons and templar, while
Orc sends a
fast steam of zerglings (with speed and crack upgrades) to
help. The marines, (with now support from a few tanks) are
quickly overran by storm , claws, and plasma balls. Whoop shrugs
off this loss and continues to build.
 The Guardians are now at the top left island
expansion, escorted by a couple of Corsair. Out of the blue,
Prozerran whips
out 4-5 dropships that I didn't even see him build, and
he flys them directly over the guardian/corsair mass. The 4
corsairs make quick work of 2 dropships, (with a comment from
Prozzeran) , then they might'eve even gotten a third. However
many he got (at least 2) Prozerran only
escaped to the safety(haha) of Whoops base.
The corsairs could've kept chasing right then and there, but
they must've been scared off by the smell of Whoops
marines.
Then, Orc attacks
the left side of Whoop's base
with his Guardian mass, escorted by Corsairs. He starts to
destroy some random buildings, depots, armories, starports,
etc.  Lewis also
wants a piece of the American bastage, and sends 12 or so
Dragoons to Whoop's
natural expansion, and sneaks by the tank and marine defense
while destroying the command center there. At this time, Whoop does a
smart thing and calls for "help". Up to this point, Prozerran hasn't
done anything but sat in his base (besides losing 3 dropships)
[as seen in this picture] , so he finally decides to do
something, this in the form of helping his ally.
The guardians are fought off by many, many
marines (with no medics!) , and 3 wraiths, which were
eventually killed by the corsairs. So, Whoop is left
with no source of income, but a fair amount of money in the
bank. The 12 dragoons at his natural were quickly turned to
goo by Prozerrans
reinforcements.
Lewis snuck
out a large group of Dark Templar to assassinate some units,
and assassinate they did. They run into a LARGE group of
medics supported by a smaller group of marines, and all of the
units are quickly dispatched.
Lets take a moment to look at a view of the minimap,
shall we?
Orc then
morphs 9 or so Mutalisks into Guardians, escorted by Overlords
and Corsairs. These are morphing right over the land to the
left of the FLS's
island expansion.
At this time, Whoop / FLS decide
to counter, and choose Lewis as
their prime target. Upon arriving there however, they run
into Orc's
expansion at Lewis' second
natural which was already blood stained from Whoop's
previous battle there. Tanks siege up, marines stim, medics
shine their little flashlight thing that is somehow attached
to their hand, while dragoons trip on each other, templar move
(with that cool blue swirl effect) and guardians are lobbing
their acid balls. (These are new guardians, from mutalisks
that were already sitting over Lewis'
natural expansion). At this very moment,
Orc was
attacking Prozerran's
bottom right hand island expansion with his guardian force,
and manages to destroy the whole island, at the cost of nearly
all of his guardians (from Irradiate). The battle at Orc's
expansion was a bloody one, and I think this picture describes
it best. (Sorry ~CB~ )
 Whoop has
gotten his macro back up to par with Prozerrans (Now
that he can finally harvest his natural expansion) and is
pumping mass marines and vessals.
 At this time, both of the players take up an attack
of their own, and decide its time to end it. Prozerran sends
another very large force of M&M&F, Tanks, science
vessals, and wraiths, and heads on over to finish off Lewis. Whoop sends a
large force of marines and a few science vessals to hit
Orc.
(However, I failed to mention earlier that Lewis got
payback and stole Orc's
mineral only natural, mirroing Orc's
expansion). Lewis faught
a *bit* more vailiantly than Orc, as he
sent dark templar, zealots, and high templar into the battle,
while Orc
sortof..well..died:). Lewis got off
some excellent storms, taking many marines lives.
 The game is basicaly over at this time, small
skirmishes as the remaining terran units march into the
Frenchies main bases and run them over. Whoop then
decides to be annoying, and starts to mass-irradiate anything
zerg, that moves. GG's are offered, and Orc has a
little comment to say.. :)
And
we can't forget this comment from Lewis, now,
can we? :)
Well, a GREAT game was played by all, and I
happily enjoyed reporting it. Some things that I didn't
include are
1) That ILost=[ fag was told to leave
after he repeatedly said "Nuclear Launch Detected" (to all,
centered in the mostly middle of the screen) SEVERAL TIMES!
2) I had to pause the game 2 !@!@!@#~!~@~!
times to move pictures to a different directory.
3) I
ended up having 270some pictures, and Only used like 39 in
this report:)
4) There is some secret messages in
here, but if you are a rater, don't read them, you have
already gotten them subliminaly
*bruhahah*
After game chat
Boy, i hope this comes out right
