2v2 on temple
Heya all. Another br by me, aren't you all so happy?
Yeah ... sure. Anyway, i think (i dont even remember exactly) that this game started in nh
(might have been bob's channel). But anyway, T_Mac, on his smurf/ladder name of Aluren~
wanted to lose .. er i mean play, so he hosted a game, with the intentions of being
partnered with Mark4. But Mark is too good for him so he left to play a 1v1, and T_Mac was
stuck with Aristocrat-X, aka King-Lewis (Orc's bitch). Their opponents were Afk-X, aka
Whoop', and HilbsTheZealot, who said he is "1450". Uh huh. I had the
"pleasure" of observing with Bob_the_newt, smurfing as usual as [axcite.net]Bob
(obviously sucking up to get into the clan he loves, A-X). All players random, and off we
go ...

randoms to terran at 3

randoms to toss at 6
We all know double zerg v toss/terran is ..... tough, to say the least. You have to do
some wacky tech strats to pull it off, and of course coinciding with that is the threat of
being rushed to death, which is a very common occurance in 2v2s. So our Canadian friends
were in for some trouble from the start.
Frenchie beatdown
Build orders
Tmac
and Lewis's plan were as i suspected from the start, to tech hard. Tmac was to go for
lurks while Lewis was to go mutas. Whoop and Hilbs however, knowing that a zerg is vulnerable to an early double
rush in 2v2s, decided to rush Lewis. Therefore they went with early rax/gates, Whoop eventually
getting a third rax, while Hilbs sticks with 2.
Meanwhile, and i ask for allies/vision, but Bob has some negative comments to say about that.
Back in the game,
Lewis and Tmac both build a hatch near their ramp, followed by a pool.  And not soon after Lewis's hatch starts morphing, Whoop sends his first marine,
followed by his second. He had made a pretty early rax, probably around 8-9. They stand
around a bit for some reason, and then begin attacking the hatchery. Lewis's pool is
still unfinished, but once it completes he quickly morphs some zerglings, and a starts a
creep colony near his choke hatch. But Whoop comes in with 2 more marines, and Hilbs's zealot finally arrives.
They charge up the ramp and smoke Lewis's 4 zerglings, and begin pounding on the creep colony.
While Whoop and Hilbs continue to pound on Lewis's hatchery, Lewis decides that
enough is enough, and that he has to whip out some badass drone micro. So he brings
together about 10 lings and 10 drones, leaving only a few to mine, and attacks the rines
and zealots near his choke, numbering 3 and 2, respectivly. Needless to say the drones
were just too godly for Whoop and Hilbs, killing all of the enemy units while only losing 6 lings.
Whoop
has not decided to keep the pressure down however, and attacks with another 5 marines.
They get up the ramp, where Lewis attacks with 6 lings, only killing 2 marines. Being Canadian
and completely uncoordinated, Tmac (he's still playing??) then follows up by sending in 4 lings,
which start to die horribly before Tmac retreats them to below Lewis's base. So somehow team
Canada manages to screw up enough to make 6 rines > 10 lings =]. Meanwhile, back at Tmac's base, his
Lair has finished, so he will soon have some scary gay Lurkers.
Whoop and Hilbs still continue with the pressure, and 2 meds and 4 zeals add
to the 3 marines at the top of Lewis's ramp. Now that meds are in the mix, lings are of little use,
since the meds can heal the zeals too. So Lewis is in some deep crap. His hatchery at the ramp is soon turned
into a bloody pulpy mass of gore, and the zeals/marines/meds move onto the main. Lewis hastily throws
up 2 creep colonies, and tries to stall them with some more scary drones/lings. 2 more
meds arrive soon though, and the med/zeal combo easily smacks around Lewis's puny lings.
Next in line are the drones, hatchery, and creep colony. Poor Lewis, no one likes Quebecians.
T_Mac gets kinky
Tmac is still playing, and after watching his partner die, finally decides to get into
this game. He has concluded his long tech to lurkers by ... making 3 lurkers. He states
his plan nicely when he tells his teammate what hes gonna do:
 .
So he sets his lurkers out to do just that, also bringing a few zerglings.
Whoop
knows of Tmac's intention's though, and mutters to his partner "lurkers" just
before Tmacs openly gay remark.  Whoop has not been idle - his
factory is almost complete, and he has built a CC at his natural during the death of Lewis. Thus his
troop count is not too high. Tmac's lurkers cross the middle of the map, running into a marine,
alerting Whoop of his presense. After the marine is killed by the lings, the lurkers
continue towards Whoop's base, burrowing near his choke, next to the bunker that he
made to protect his new CC. The M&M that had been killing Lewis have been hauling ass
trying to get back asap to save Whoop's base. But their demise is quick, as they run single file into
Tmac's gay lurker spines.
After the lurkers finish spiking Whoop's marines, they move on towards his undefended main, running
past his rax on towards his peon line. They burrow and start molesting Whoop's SCVs, and Whoop tries to run
them away, towards his natural - unfortunately right into Tmacs lurkers, and only a few
SCVs reach his natural. The lurkers start ripping up Whoop's base, also ripping up a
few of Hilbs zealots that he sent (dont ask me why) killing a comstat before he unburrows
them and moves them down towards Whoop's natural, with the intention of killing more of Whoop's scvs. He
does this, while thwarting Whoop's attempt to build a couple turrets. This forces a frustrated Whoop to lift off
his CC at his natural. Tmac, being the strategizing little devil he is, again unburrows
his lurkers and moves back towards Whoop's empty main. Only a few seconds of spiking passes before Whoop lifts off all
his buildings in extreme aggravation. Such shame, to be lurkered to death ala Tmac.
Who else wants to
get smacked around by Tmac?
Whoop
floats his buildings to various places ... sending one CC to the bottom right island, the
other somewhere to the west side of the map (wide siiiiiieeeeeede), the and the rax's/fact
to Hilb's base. Hilbs, has been working on teching ... VERY SLOWLY.  He still only has about 10 zealots, but he is warping in a nexus at his
natural, and his cybercore is done. Tmac has expanded to his natural, and has more gay lurkers on
route to Hilb's base. The lurkers sort of sit there for a moment, then Tmac finally moves
em up a bit and burrows them. Since Hilbs has only just at that moment decided that it would be a good
idea to put a cannon there, the 3 lurkers do their duty well, pissing off a bunch of
zealots. Tmac then brings in about a set of lings, who proceed to get thourily (sp?) get
owned by Hilb's zeals and freshly made goons, although he kills all but 2 zeals and a goon,
and his lurkers still remain.
This distraction also actually helped Hilbs, giving him the time he needed for his cannons to finish
warping in. The cannons, with the help of his few remaining troops, kill all but one
lurker. That one lurker unburrows and goes right next to Hilb's natural, and is soon
joined by 3 more lurkers. The lurks proceed to rape Hilb's natural, and Hilbs can do jack,
cuz he is only now working on a robo facility. After Tmac kills Hilb's natural, he
unburrows them and moves 3 of em to various parts of the map for recon, or maybe just cuz
hes a dumbass.
Back at Tmacs base, he has not just been making gay lurkers. He has gotten a spire, and is
pumping mutes. Hilbs is working towards observers, and is pumping goons from 2 gates. Whoop is ... making
scvs from the island and the 12 o clock mineral only (the "hidden" base). Oh
yeah, he made a tank in Hilb's base. That's cool.
Being the gosu i am, i realize that after Tmac's attack, he obviously had the full map at his disposal, since Hilbs was in a
defensive position. So i ask Bob why Tmac isnt expanding everywhere
Tmac hasn't been idle though. He found Whoop's mineral only CC at 12, and eliminated it with a couple of
lurkers. He has been steadily pumping mutas, and now is massling lings. Hilbs has finally
gotten obs, and has broken out of Tmac's lock and has built a nexus at his natural.
Tmac
decides that he needs to be even more gay and aggravating, and gathers about 12 mutas and
sends them south towards Hilb's main. He runs into 3 cannons that Hilbs has there, which do
absolutely jack, as Tmac micros and kills them one by one. He then starts to work on
the probes, and Hilbs runs them away while he sends his goons over to get rid of the mutas. They
finally get there, after tripping over eachother for a while, and scare the mutas off.
Only a couple mutas died though, and Hilbs probably lost around ~6 probes.
Bring in the crack
The mutas then head east, and unfortunately for
Whoop, run right into the bottom right island where he has been
rebuilding his economy. Mutas > scvs, so Whoops attempt to get back into the game was pretty much over. All
he had were a few buildings scattered around, and a mighty tank.
He then sends his mutas around to cleanup Whoop's buildings  from various parts of the map, while
continuing to mass tons of lings. He is also currently upgrading to a hive, possibly
preparing to upgrade either his mutas and/or lings. Tmac also gets burrow, and get
cute and burrows about 30 lings at his natural. Har har.
Back at Hilb's base, he has his natural online and has expanded again to his 2nd natural,
knowing that he needs to risk to get back into this game. Tmac has other plans though. His
crack upgrade for lings is complete, and he plans his attack. ![necro is having seizures now =]](http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/9845/end.gif) Tmac flanks his mutas, bringing them
in to the right of Hilb's 2nd natural near where Whoop's rax's are. Hilb's clunky goons
respond to this, trying to move in between the rax's to get to the mutas. Meanwhile, Tmac has his
crackling army ready. They come in from his base in the north, swarming, lusting for blood
and more drugs. They easily vanquish Whoop's tank at Hilb's 2nd natural, and move on to the other buildings there. Whoops raxes and the
nexus and probes there quickly fall, as the goons do very little against the swarm. Tmac brings his
mutas back and adds in a couple of lurkers to the mix. Result? Lots of protoss blood .....
or whatever the hell it is that that toss units leave when they die.
The swarm moves on towards Hilb's natural, and then his main. Both are torn down very quickly,
and GGs are exchanged. Damn, thats a lot of cracklings.
