Lifetime Rating for Fox^1: 7.3810 |  | Normally BR’s are 1on1 and 2on2’s on LT. But I had a game that I just have to report. Every weekend I go to a friend’s house and we have a LAN party. We used to play SC, but they got out of it. Last weekend I wanted to play so much that I got 2 other guys to play, but they said let’s do something to make it really dumb and fun.
We went through all sort of things, and finally we decided to choose a race so we could have all 3. I choose zerg, Mopper choose protoss, and Mr.Quick choose terran. Then we put names of units into a hat and said whatever unit we draw we can only build that unit ( excluding workers, and dropships of course) Then because of Mopper’s whining we got observers excluded. Then Mr.Quick started bitching about medics.
So I decided to say put everything in. Dropships included and we pick 2 units, then choose 1 of them. Then Mopper was like what if I get observers and shuttles. And it’s not fair that u have dropships regardless. So I agreed that I would not research any overlord ability to keep it fair =[ OH STFU!!! We also put 2 extra cards(we drew cards from a hat) of bizarre units Arbiter, SV, Defiler to better our chances of getting those. We also told Mopper that Arkons and templar are 2 different things and he cannot have both. He agreed. So Mopper drew from protoss first and got Arbiters and shuttles….LOL.
He was pissed, but we told him that he has cannons, which are pretty strong as well. Of course he choose Arbiters Mr.Quick drew Firebats and Valkeries…. I couldn’t believe it. He chooses bats, probably because if he had valks he would get screwed. I choose and got hydras and defiler. They whined like it wasn’t going to be fair, and they were right. So I removed hydras and choose another and got Queens…… whatever. So said I AM INSANE and stayed with defiler. Mass drone ownage!!!!!!!!
We decided that because of that we would need to play a large map without islands since… well you get the picture I would loose! We decided to play on Hunters. I spawned in at the top-left, Mopper the bottom-left, and Mr.Quick the top middle. I knew that my greatest enemy was going to be Mr.Quick since my only offense is sunkens, drones, and defilers. Firebats are a beating. I didn’t have to worry about Mopper since I knew that Arbiters weren’t going to be raining down on me anytime soon.
So I fast expanded to my natural and sunkened it up big time, I think about 5 then to 7 later after that. Also placing a third hatchery next to my first, then started on a spawning pool. Since Mr.Quick was right next to me he might try to end my life quickly since he had the better early offense than either of us. Mopper and I probably had a stronger income since all we could build was peons early on. Mr.Quick and Mopper tried to scout me but they were struck down by sunkens. My overlords were sitting over both there bases since they had no anti-flyers, but soon had to retreat from Mopper’s cannons, and Mr.Quick’s’s turrets.
Around the time that I had about 60 drones or so and I started to get gas, then a lair. I also started to research the art of burrowing. One of my scouting drones told me that Mr.Quick was going to attack Mopper with about… LOL 20+ Firebats that were already +1/+1!!! Didn’t get to see the fight, but they told me afterward that Mr.Quick’s 20+ bats ran into about 12 cannons blocking the outside of Mopper’s natural!! It was a good fight and the Firebats prevailed…. Oh wait no the got raped by the cannon ownage. Mr.Quick said that he lost like 5 of them before they even got there, and he tried to run the rest by the cannons and he made 2 by. My Overlord outside of Mopper’s base was able to see those Firebats dying to more cannons supporting Mopper’s natural expansion.
By this time I had my Lair done, and I was getting a queen’s nest online. I went to expand to the left-middle expansion. Also my scouting drones (I had 100 by now) found that Mr.Quick had taken the top-right, and Mopper had taken the natural outside my 9 expansion and the bottom-middle. I could not attack anyone yet, but I was getting there. I was upgrading carpace on my drones which sounds really dumb, but I had to do something!!!! I sent an overlord to suicide at Mopper’s and Mr.Quick’s base because I wanted to see if had the tech yet. Also starting my hive.
Mr.Quick’s base was the 1st to be scouted. I saw that he had about 8+ Barracks, before my overlord got shot down. I knew he had more, and he had a large force gathering outside his base. I thought that he might try to take me, but he instead went after Mopper. Good call since Mopper had flyers and I didn’t. This made me less of a threat. My overlord got to Mopper’s base and was shot down by 6 cannons. But I saw that he had the arbiter trib warping in. =[ I better hurry and get some anti air ;) I put up a few spores and took the top-left natural.
Finally my Hive was done and I started to morph my defiler mound!!! I yelled across the room, “I’ve turned my body to steel! Now I’ll crush you armies as if they were insects!!” That is from Fist of the North Star if you have ever seen it. Mopper’s response was, “Your mom eats grass.” Mr.Quick’s response was, ”Need a light?” I decided to actually make an attack on someone. I knew that drones really sucked so I decided to try some offensive creep.
Unfortunately 1 hatchery without sunkens < 50 bats with stim and +3/+3 =[. What really sucks is that even when I get dark swarm Mr.Quick’s Bat army will crush me anyway. My 1st 12 defilers popped out. It wasn’t hard to get that many I had soooo much gas to spend it wasn’t even funny. So I decided enough was enough!!! My drone count was to about 175. I noticed Mopper was trying to take the bottom-middle natural. I failed to mention that I had quite a few burrowed drones all over the place for scouting since my un-upgraded overlords weren’t doing shit. =[ I sent about.. Brace yourself! About 75 drones and 16 defilers to attack.
It took forever to send that my units correctly but after many swarms and dronenage I crushed his expansion MWAHAHA!!! I cried out, “Drones are broken.” Mopper then said, “should have been paying attention to your base, you moron”. When suddenly 4 Arbiters started to rain down on my expansion. They couldn’t get to close or they would get ruled by spores, so they just pounded away at my sunkens.
I didn’t care that would take forever. As you noticed I haven’t really talked about Mr.Quick’s building, cause well he didn’t have anything special. Just 10+ Barracks and 3-4 comstats. He finally starts building turrets with bunkers full of bats everywhere. A sort of push. Unfortunately he found out that sunkens and cannons > Bunkers with bats. He said out loud, “What the hell am I suppose to do now!!??” Mopper told him, “Attack Fox!” Dam =[ He followed Mopper’s orders and some scouting lords(yah I finally started to use these slow useless things) saw that he was going to attack me =[.
He went straight to my main and tried to take down my now unstoppable 15 sunken 5 spore defense. He stopped outside my base to stim everyone and when he did I plagued most of them with my defiler and they died sooo quickly to my sunkens. Mr.Quick was like, “See!? These guys are #$&$ing useless.” Hehe my response was, “You are encumbered.” Sort of an Ashron Call joke ;)
While this was happening I checked back at my base to see that Mopper had pretty much taken down my sunkens except for 1 loner. I knew that those arbiters couldn’t touch my drones since spores were protecting them. So instead Mopper did the most insane thing. He recalled quite a few probes, about 30-40 to my base and used stasis on my drones. “WHATEVER!!!! I screamed, getting wrecked by peons.” Mopper then said, “Yah now you know how I feel!” Most of the probes died but there were just to many, and they overwhelmed my sunken and destroyed my base =[. I could not send reinforcements since I was planning an attack on Mopper’s Main.
Mr. Quick wasn’t doing much, he was to busy cursing after I owned his attack. He finally got back on track by attacking my expansion at the top-left natural, and easily took it. I did plague his bats and some did die, but he just had too many. More scouting showed how much of the map that Mopper had under control. I was able to push through his defenses with about 100 drones and 30 defilers into his main, but then was crushed by the air attacking arbiters. I died plague them and most of his buildings. But I lost almost all my drones to his now 11 arbiters.
Unfortunately Mr.Quick then attacked my natural expansions with about…. Honestly….. 100+ bats. I plagued and plagued but there were so many I didn’t have a chance =[ He took my natural and my main, but I was able to get a drone out and started an expansion in Mr.Quick’s base in the top-left were he may not see it. He did though but didn’t care and told me that he was going to let me live. =[
Both players gave me vision and I saw that Mr.Quick had about 20 rax and he controlled the top-right area, where is Mopper had about 6 Stargates and was controlling the bottom. Mr.Quick attacked with all of his bats including 10 SCV’s who were putting down turrets as they attacked to maybe protect themselves from arbiter power. Mopper made a really good move. He took his now 18 Arbiter fleet to fend off the Bat attack, and sent 1 past the fight over to Mr.Quick’s base.
The arbiters were able to stop the attack, at the lost of most of there expansions, and then that 1 arbiter that was at Mr.Quick’s main hiding in the corner, recalled the rest of his arbiters. Then with about 10 of those recalled arbiters he recalls almost half of his peons to Mr.Quick’s base. About 50 or so. Then attacks Mr.Quick’s base. Anytime a team of Firebats tried to take Mopper on, it was put the annoying cube from Superman. Yak know the one that had General Zod and Company. Sorry.
More arbiters came to reinforce and more probes are recalled in. I laugh every time I read that –probes are recalled- hehe. Mr.Quick’s main is lost but the game is not over yet, from 7 more barracks at his 3 o’clock base he takes another 36+ bats to try to take down Mopper’s main. Unfortunately Mopper is very smart keeping 1-2 arbiters in key locations so they can recall the rest to defend. The 36+ bats are no match for 25+ Arbiters. Mopper is talking much smack now, “Dam Psi limit exceeded. I have to kill more probes to get more arbiters.” This did not make Mr.Quick very happy. So Mr. Quick builds a covert ops then 2 nuclear silo’s by lifting off his CC's. This would play a big part to the end of this BR. He also starts to churn out ghosts. I didn’t say anything cause I wanted to see Mopper’s reaction to Mr.Quick’s stupidity. Mopper finally took about 30+ Arbiters to attack Mr.Quick’s expansion, which is now guarded by 50 some ghosts. When they arrive(arbiters) they are all locked down, and Mr.Quick does the most gosu thing and builds 10 missile turrets around the locked ships. Mr.Quick was counting out loud, “25, 26” and then would lock the arbiters down again. The missile turrets were done and they began to rip apart the arbiter fleet. Mopper said, “whatever bitch!” and as soon as the words left his mouth, you here nuclear launch detected. Mr. Quick walked into Mopper’s base and double nuked both Stargates =[.
I thought Mopper would quit by now, but he didn’t. I didn’t know why until I saw 7 gates warping in at my old main, and soon after that DT’s rolling out. They went straight for Mr.Quick’s expansion's tearing up everything in there path. Since the CC's had silos and not comstats it was very easy for the DT army to defeat the terran forces. Mr.Quick got pissed for some strange reason. Like only he can break the rules. He said fu Mopper and conceded. LOL I declare the winner of stupidity central Mopper the GREAT!!!!
I hope you liked this BR, it was hard to follow everything since I was to busy playing and yelling across the house. The end seems a little quick, but Mr.Quick just conceded without even trying. =[
