Well with my amazing copy and paste skills I am going to repost this report. As of a few minutes ago I found out that the picture uploader is fixed so this one should have pics.
HI this is a report by me Novadistortion and after the last few crappy reports ive written Id like to write one that doesnt suck so much.
The Map Dire Straits
The Players
Newbie_Mike-The Blue Protoss-Lower Right
Angel{MIT}-The Purple Zerg-Upper Right
Novadistortion-Yellow Terran Observer-Command center floating at the top left corner of the map.
THE EARLY GAME
Newbie_Mike does a gate,gas,cy-core build
Angel{MIT} scouts with overlord and has a 2nd hatch,gas,spawning pool build.
Angel{MIT}'s overlord starts going straight for Newbie_Mike's main.
Newbie_Mike puts in a robotics bay and stargate while Angel{MIT} upgrades two lairs and puts in a hydra den.
Strategies
Angel{MIT}'s build order predicts hydra drops.
Newbie_Mike's build order shows reaver drops.
Meanwhile Newbie_Mike Builds a robotics support bay which confirms my reaver drop theory.
Angel{MIT} Builds a evolution chamber and starts production of hydras.
Angel{MIT} Places spore colonies to protect his drones from reavers. Newbie_Mike begins corsair and reaver production.
FIRST BLOOD
Newbie_Mike uses his first corsairs to scout the map
they quickly find the zerg main and start harassing overlords. However the quick deployment of hydras combined with spore colonies ruin the corsairs fun. Newbie_Mike makes some shuttles and a forge. Angel{MIT} starts hydralisk patrols around his island. Corsairs continue to pick on any straggling overlords that stray too far from the protection of the hydralisk patrols.
THE REAVER DROPS BEGIN
A lone shuttle flies just left of Angel{MIT}'s main. The corsairs have seen the path of the hydralisk patrols and the shuttle finds its way between them to the hapless drones. The drop is to the left of the mineral line. Two reavers unload and begin firing. A spore colony is decimated quickly. Two scarabs find their way to the drones who were hapilly mining away. 5 dead when the hydralisks arrived. The first reaver kept the hydras busy while the second took cheap shots and moved toward the safety of a shuttle. The shuttle flies away with minor damage.
AFTER THE REAVER DROP
Newbie_Mike adds a second robotics bay and takes the lower left main. Angel{MIT} starts production of drones and hydras followed by taking an island close to his main.
THE REAVERS CONTINUE
A second reaver drop is arranged. A shuttle flies near the zerg main again corsairs have taken to scouting most of the map and locate the new zerg expansion. The shuttle continues to the zerg mineral line beside the drones and spore colonies. Only this time the reavers are landed to the right of the zerg main. The dropped reavers kill an extractor and remove a spore colony before being used to slaughter countless closely packed hydras. However the reavers fun is short lived when they run out of scarabs. Both reavers are killed and the shuttle flies away.
EXPANSION WARS
Newbie_Mike places a fleet beacon at his expansion during the drop. (which is probably the reason the reavers didnt reload). Angel{MIT} places a spire at his expansion and begins construction of scourge. Two shuttles land at the zerg expansion. One is shot down before it can drop its payload of reavers. The other retreats and unloads 2 reavers on the zerg expansion with the cover of d-web.
Angel{MIT} tries to take the upper left starting point only to be stopped by a pair of reavers after it finishes morphing.
ZERG GOES OFFENCIVE
The long awaited hydra drop finally begins. Somehow Angel{MIT} found Newbie_Mike's expansion and drops several overlords full of hydras on his island. After taking out the lone cannon the hydras go straight for the probes which hide behind the minerals to buy time while 2 shuttles full of reavers unload at the zerg expansion. 3 overlords full of hydras go strait for the expansion to defend it. the reavers stop and wait for them to unload and kill them as they land. After slaughtering most of the expansion they reboard their shuttles and head to the expansion to save it. The reavers have no trouble dealing with the problem but unknown to Newbie_Mike several more overlords drop hydras on his island. 4 reavers at his main deal with the hydras in a bloody splatter while the remaining reavers are all loaded on shuttles to the zerg main.
ENDGAME
Four shuttles full of reavers land at Angel{MIT}'s main after a short slaughter Angel{MIT}surrenders and GG's are exchanged.
AND NOW IF IT WORKED RIGHT
