Lifetime Rating for Old~El~Paso: 7.2857 |   | Well, this was my first BR, and I have tested it out, so lets hope this all works. Anyways, after I finished writing this, I decided it was not as funny as I was hoping it was, so I went through and added some alt text comments to the pictures, so check those out by sliding your mouse over the pics.
Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you tonight to tell you the story of a young man named .Praetor (from here on out will be called RealPraetor), and his conflict with his evil twin, ][~Praetor~][ (from here on out will be called FakePraetor).
It all started four score and a couple of days ago. When realpraetor and fakepraetor were in the realm of NoHunters, and the great spirit known as Old~El~Paso summoned the two young warriors to the battlefield, for a fight to the death, near the location of a long lost temple, known as, the Lost Temple. Since the temple had been found, some Dark Templars had played a prank on everyone, and painted everything blue, making it more of a darkish blueish Temple, and it was thus declared, the Dark Temple
On with the show!!!
RealPraetor, being the iron-balls warrior he is, let the fates decide his race for him, and was given the mighty protoss, and had his white Nexus warp in in the 3 o'clock position.
FakePraetor, being the cowardly yellow-belly pansy-ass weakling he is, went with the safe choice of commanding the mighty Protoss, and warped in his teal nexus in the 6 o'clock position.
You guessed it folks, if any game is to prove that there is a Protoss vs. Protoss imbalance, it is going to be this one.
Before either player actually did anything, a discussion arose about vintage video games, as soon as the players were through typing, they sent their starting peons about on their work, and proceeded with their early builds.
Early builds
While the weakling FakePraetor went with a tech build of a gateway followed by a cybercore, the ballsy RealPraetor went with a ballsy early build of a (ballsy)forge, followed by an (ballsy)offensive assimilator. This slowed down FakePraetors teching, and won RealPraetor a strong advantage. And thus, it was almost time for first blood to be shed.
First Blood
By now, by building a pylon above FakePraetors ramp, RealPraetor made his strategy clear, offensive cannons. Just as the second cannon warped in, FakePraetor made an attempt to break RealPraetors's strat. Two zealots and a probe marched towards the freshly warped cannons. The zealots fought bravely, but fell to the fire of the two photon cannons. Just as the zealots blew up in a blue smoky flare, the probe took the last hitpoints away from the cannon. However this robotic warrior would not recieve proper credit for his actions, because his little robotic body was about to be blown to itty bitty frosted flakes as the second photon cannon took its last few hit points away.
What happened next is a rare sight in any form of Starcraft, and will be remembered in the mind of our hero as a pivotal time in his Starcraft career...
But before it happened, FakePraetor had to pause
PHOTON WAR!!!
As RealPraetor pushed his cannons forward, FakePraetor braced for the attack, and built several photons on the parameter of his base, hoping that that would be enough to stop the slowly advancing wave of photon cannons. At the moment the cannons started their warp, RealPraetor acts with amazing reflexes, and built three photon cannons right next to the FakePraetors two. He also promptly started 2 more just outside of the range of the warping cannons.
Although the first cannons to arrive were those of FakePraetor, RealPraetor's cannons warped in within seconds after. The overwhelming number of cannons made it impossible for the measily two cannons to overcome the might of RealPraetors five cannons, which warped in mere seconds after. The two cannons quickly fell, along with FakePraetor's chances of winning. there were now three cannons shooting at FakePraetor's base buildings, and Fake was forced to flee the game, thus making BR.com's own .Praetor the master of the praetors.
Conclusion
Well, in case you have not noticed, this is not a serious BR, and if I wanted a serious BR, this would not be the game to do it on. I may also add, that this game was the most recent of a five game series involving these two players, and this game put .Praetor 4 games ahead.
Also, depending on the response I get from this first attempt at a BR, I will start a series of BRs, in which two players with a conflict go at it, and the game is reported by me. No matter who wins, or how the game goes, it will be reported. If interested in participating in this, email me.
BTW, I mean no offense to .praetor in the alt comments, you are awesome man.
I hope you got some enjoyment out of this!
