This is my first shot at submitting a report here, so I don't know if all the HTML will work or not, so please bare with me. Go to my site for more battlereports and lots of other stuff like custom maps and strats. Also this report is relatively image heavy, you have been warned!!!


Ren01 (Protoss) & rebel[kob] (Terran)
vs
blAxis-X (Zerg)
Observers: Vegita-of-Pooh (me)


Well, I was just surfing battle.net one fine day, and I don't know what came over me, but I got this uncontrollable urge to write a battlereport. So I went into NoHunters looking for 2 players to do a 1 vs 1 that I could observe. I asked everybody in the channel and to my surprise, two people answered, it was almost to good to be true!!! I instructed them to go to the channel 'vegita2', I went there, and only one of the players had joined, Dangit! So the guy that was in there went back to get another person to join. While he was gone the other guy joined in, saying that he had gone to the wrong channel on accident. Then the other guy came back with another player. So now there were 3 players. Then after that it was all a blur. All I remember was that it took us like 3 tries to get a game going, and people kept leaving. When we finally got a game going, it was blAxis-X against Ren01 and rebel[kob]. That's right ladies and gentle men, a 2 vs 1!! What luck, this was sure to be an intresting game. I had no clue as to how good any of the players were. blAxis-X kept gloating about how good he was, and Ren01 kept gloating about how bad he was. So I had no clue as to what the outcome might be. But anyways, without further Adiu, I give you the (drum roll please...) BattleReport!


blAxis-X morphed in his Hatchery at the NE corner, with rebel[kob] landing his command center in the SW corner, and Ren01 Warping in his Protoss Nexus in the NW corner. But guess what, Ren01 had something to say about that!

Looks like someone accidently went random =) Oh come on, Protoss isn't that bad!
Starting Build Orders:
blAxis-X (Zerg) started off with an early hatchery followed by another Hatchery and a Spawning Pool. He obviously knew this wasn't going to be an easy game, and he's going to need to out-produce both his enemies.
rebel[kob] (Terran) went early gas, followed by a factory after his rax.
Ren01 (Protoss) got two Gateways right after his pylon on 8.

There was a very brief period of teching, blAxis-X got another Hatchery (3rd), Ren01 got a Cybernetics Core and built a few Dragoons, and rebel[kob]'s strategy was clear now, he had two factories and was building Vultures. The silence was broken quite abruptly when blAxis-X took first blood attacking Ren01's base with about 20 zerglings.

Unfortunately Ren01 only had about 3 dragoons and 2 zealots. He did however fend off the attack, but not after he lost all of his probes and his Nexus. Ouch! That pretty much put Ren01 out of the game, since he couldn't build more buildings or get resources.

Ren01 stayed in the game and ended up surviving til the end, he just could no longer attack or build units. However, while blAxis-X had all his lings attacking, rebel[kob] stepped into the game and attacked blAxis-X's base from behind with about 7 Vultures.

blAxis-X fended off the the attack easily with his already morphing hydra's, and only lost about 8 drones. A few minutes later rebel[kob] attacked blAxis-X again, this time going for his newly built expansion. He ended up destroying the hatchery there before being beaten down by more hydra's.

After this a several minutes went by with both sides teching and building up. rebel[kob] built another Factory and decided to build 4 more barracks.

After another minutes or so of building up, rebel[kob] was ready to attack again. This time, with well over 12 seige tanks and a science vessel. And with that force rebel[kob] managed to tear down blAxis-X's base. And with only one expansion left, blAxis-X conceded the game in Defeat.

And some after game comments:


- A 0/0 record makes it very hard to tell how good someone is.
- Tanks beat Hydra's.
- Terran doesn't suck.
