One day, -MrCow- happily logged on to channel nohunters, to go spamming for a game to BR. Unfortunately, he found only 10 people in the channel and 3 of them being bots. He then went on to channel clan -x17 but they had very few people too. Sighing, he returned to his beloved nohunters channel and waited for a few people to show up. Maitremordicus was already in the channel and shortly, November~rain strolled along in as well. -MrCow- then started spamming for a game to watch and Maitermordicus called to his request. The map was to be lost temple (god damn, I swear I won't ever watch another Temple match again!!!) and Maitermordicus drew terran at 9, while November~rain drew protoss at 3. The game is underway, so let's go!

Maitermordicus decided to do a weird temple wall-in and go for gas after his 2nd depot. Rain decided to use the standard toss build, pylon, gateway, gateway, pylon, then a cybernetics core, then gas while the cybernetics was building. Ironically enough, Maitermordicus sent Deon out to scout 12 at the same time November~rain decided to send a probe out to scout 12. Both players found each other at the same time and Maitermordicus exclaimed, "Yes! this is my favorite matchup." (However, both players' peons die, but at different times). That's a hit
in the wallet for the toss guys...Maitermordicus decides to go the tech route and heads in the direction of heavy metal with a double factory.

November~rain had some weird plan that I guess only he and his own little heart knows what the hell he was doing. He had decided to go early dragoons against the oncoming heavy metal for some reason and out of 2 gateways as well. Maitermordicus came out with a third factory and started making tanks and vultures like a madman. He mobilized his army of about 5 vultures, 4 tanks and 1 SCV and camped outside at Rain's natural.

Probes blow up nicely... Maitermordicus starts laying spider mines around his tanks like a protective perimeter. He sieges his tanks and begins to build a missile turret for detection against dark templar that never really made the journey from Shakuras. Rain, sensing he is in deep trouble, decides to go for more dragoons and build a forge (Ah...so that's why he didn't have cannons...). At the same time, Maitermordicus already has built a starport, a dropship, and fully loaded it with 4 vultures to do some damage in the enemy probe line. This is what happens. Rain wisely pulls back his probes from mining and waits for his dragoons to kill the pests, which they do successfully, but not before quite a few probes are taken out.

Dragoons actually win something...they win the best tasting soup a zerg can eat (but we have no zergs here though...) However, with a major threat below the ramp, how will Rain pull off the greatest magic trick ever to avoid being trampled over by the terran forces? He does have a robotics facility with an observatory, but as Mark4 found out in the World War III Free-For-Alls, you can't micro an observer to victory. So instead, Rain decides to expand to the top island. Maitermordicus , already took the opportunity to expand to 2 places, his natural, and the 6 o'clock main. He gets them both operational, and in the meantime, conflicts take place between the 2 forces at the ramp.
When toss units have shields,
they say to the tanks firing, 'Ah...nice sun-tan..' but when they run
out of shields....'YEOCH!!!' One quick scan and 7 tanks below is not good news for dragoons and zealots above. 1 cannon goes up in smoke and a few dragoons get turned into mush. Rain decides to pull back his dragoons. Maitermordicus is now pumping heavy metal units from 7 factories. Yes 7 factories! 4 of them at his natural without machine attachments, and 3 of them in his main pumping out tanks. Rain at this time, decided to put up 2 stargates and a Fleet Beacon at his expansion for corsair (?) to take down dropships.
No cure for this if you
have no templar

November~rain finally put up a templar archives and produced 2 templar right before the onslaught of about 9 tanks and 6 vultures. Maitermordicus charged up the ramp with his attack force, and sieged his tanks. He laid spider mines everywhere around the ramp, so that if you looked on the minimap, one would think that they were sharing one base. Now, Maitermordicus started systemattically taking out November~Rain's base. Maitermordicus also found the protoss island expansion at the top-left corner, and properly delt with it.
Drink your own dragoon soup! Needless to say, Maitermordicus was clearly the victor at this point, and seeing everything was hopeless, November~Rain through in the towel and conceded. Thank you for reading this very short battlereport, and I hoped you enjoyed it.
