I basically learned Photoshop 5.5 for this so some of the pics may not be that great.  As I got more familiar with Photoshop I made more pics, so I might of over done it :).  Give me feedback please, this is my first report and I want to improve. Let me know what im doing wrong, i.e. using too many pics, not enough detail, bad color scheme, thx.  Onto the report.

     As you can see from the pic on the left (I'm damn proud of that pic) {-Mirage-} (Mirage) picks Terran and gets them at the 9 o'clock spot.        SlingsNArrows (Slings) picks Zerg and gets his hatchery at the 6 o'clock spot.  Since I am new to battlereporting I made this picture on the left here to big so I have to fill in this big area right here :).

Lets meet the players:

Mirage is new to nohunters and battle.net.  From what I gathered while I played with him is that he used to play on Kali, but everyone plays D2 there so he migrated to b.net.

Slings was born and raised on b.net.  He is a very funny/good guy to talk to and play with.  You always hear him complaining about how bad he sucks, dont listen, that is just an act.  He is also a hardcore rapper, more on that later. He is known to do crazy strats at times, which can get kinky.

     Allrighty, Mirage starts out by cloning all of his SCVs to work, while Slings does the same.  Both know what race their opponents is so there shouldn't be confusion about what these players are going for.

     Mirage sends his 8th SCV to his choke and commences to build a supply depot (far left one in pic).  As soon as his 10th SCV completes he starts up a barracks to further his wall-in.  While his barracks is being built, Mirage starts building a refinery for early gas.  Tech like a whore and hide behind the wall-in is obviously his strat this game.

Slings gets 9 drones, then builds 2 more drones. When these complete he sends a drone out to his natural which then morphs into a hatchery. His overlord has passed over the Terran's base so they both know where eachother's base is located. At around 12-13 he sends another drone out to scout I assume. Back at his home base he starts on a refinery at number 13-14 and soon after starts his pool.  As soon as his drone arrives at the 3 o'clock main it morphs into another hatchery.

     Both players commence teching, Slings starts on a lair along with a hydra den, as Mirage built a factory and then a starport as soon as the factory was done.  He is obviously going for either a drop or a  turbo newbie.                              

              .

     Mirage gets the starport add-on as quickly as possible.  Slings gets a sunken and some lings to protect his natural incase of a quick M&M attack.  Mirage gets a dropship and loads up one tank, two marines, and two SCVs and sends them over to Slings' natural cliff, he also adds an e-bay at home.  Mirage then uses a wraith to harrass Slings while he sets up the turbo newbie.

     Slings has an overlord above his cliff, and seeing the dropship unload, he quickly sends all his drones to his 3 o'clock expansion before they are destroyed.  Slings realizes he is going to lose his natural expansion so he just builds another hatchery at his mineral only, keeping the resource advantage in his favor three to one.  Lets see how that turbo newbie is looking.

     Slings now has lurker aspect and starts morphing lurkers.  He also added another gas at his 3 o'clock to make up for his lost one at his natural.  Slings buries a lurker in his mineral line to protect from drops at his main and continues to pump drones/lings/hydras/lurker.  Mirage has teched quite nicely.

     While both players sit back and power/tech more Mirage starts a Command Center in his main, which he plans to float to his natural or the top left island.  When the Command Center is about half way done, Slings starts a hatchery at the 12 o'clock main and also the 12 o'clock mineral only, continuing his resource advantage.                                                 

     A roaming wraith finds the 12 o'clock expansion and is soon chased away by 3 hydras.  Both players have not upgaded their attack or defense but Slings does have overlord speed and both hydra upgrades.  Upon seeing that expansion Mirage comes to the realization that he can not let Slings take the map so he loads up a dropship with 8 marines.  So it is 8 marines being unloaded vs 4 lings and 3 hydras, who wins?  See for yourself.

     Since Mirage couldn't take down that expansion with a drop he goes the direct root and sends 14 marines and 2 medics to kill the expansion.  Along the way they run into lurkers and only 8 marines survive.  No pics because of graphic violence of two medics dying.

     Slings then makes his move, as he drops one lurker and 4 lings at Mirage's natural peon line and 4 hydras and 8 lings in his main.  Now I did not see the drop in his main because i was paying attention to the drop at the Terran's natural.  I think Mirage did not notice his natural's peon line being destroyed because he did not react to it all that early.  For you visual learners, here ya go.

     As you can see Mirage lost all his SCVs at his expansion and was damaged a little bit at his main, this attack was an excellent attack as it threw the Terran into confusion as he could only concentrate on killing one of the two attacking forces at once.  Seeing how well the drops worked Slings loads up two more overlords full of 4 hydras and 8 lings and drops them on Mirage's main.  What really hurt was the mobility of the terran army, he had just moved all his forces back out of his base to his front-line and had to send them back up his ramp and through his buildings to get to the 2nd drop.  Good job to Slings for keeping up the pressure.

     During all the commotion Slings moves 4 lurkers into position outside of Mirage's choke containing him.     

     Mirage decides he isnt going to win if he just sits here and gets attacked, so he irradates all the lurkers outside his base.  Slings sees the bulk of the Terran forces and drops eight more hydra into the already damaged main.

     This stalled Mirage enough so that Slings could get his secret weapon.

      Ultras came and ripped up the M&M, from there on it was just clean-up.

     Thus concludes my first game, the pic above is just meant to compare, I know it isn't pretty.  I would like to thank the players for letting me watch and br their game, and again thank you to GammaRayBurst, Cheese, and Skyblazer. Onto the fun stuff.

      Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you rapper Sexual Vanilla a.k.a. SlingsNArrows.

     And following Bane's report Watz had something very important to tell people.

     Again, plz comment on what I should do differently, I am very open to anything.  Thank you for reading, see you on b.net
