The game started slowly enough. With both sides doing typical starts. Or so I thought. Fatal didn't go early gas, as most Terrans do against the strong and powerful Protoss, instead opting for a 2nd Barrax, and soon after that a 3rd

Scouting occurred at this point. Both players sending out a worker to see what the other was up to. Fatal's SCV arrived a few seconds before willwinforfood's prove scouted the NE base.

After a brief run in with a zealot, the SCV retreats and then returns, attempting to build a cheesy bunker within range of the future assimilator. Fortunately for willwinforfood, Fatal was discovered before he could complete the bunker and willwinforfood dispatched the SCV with a zealot

This action rose the bar of cheesiness. Never one to be outdone willwinforfood started teching up to the powerful cheese of the Protoss. Saving his money by building minimal defensive structures and troops willwinforfood hurried to a robotic bay.

Meanwhile, in Morocco, Fatal was preparing the Terran "HAMMER OF DOOM!" ®©™. Our spies were able to infiltrate his heavily guarded installation and take these excellent recon photos along with added information by spies in the field:

Obviously, if this sort of force was gathering, willwinforfood must make a quick decision; Does he continue teching up and risk the safety of his base and thus the game? Or does he halt teching to pump the zealots and dragoons? Fortunately willwinforfood was saved from having to make such a decision because he didn't know about these marines!

So it was under these dire cirumstances that willwinforfood found himself in. Two Dragoons, one Zealot, two cannons, and one shield battery. Fatal, on the other hand has about twelve marines ready to spill some blue blood. But both players know the next few minutes will be tension-filled as willwinforfood demonstrates his famous micromanaging skills.

willwinforfood's immediately realizes the trouble he's in and begins constructing a new gateway to intimidate the marines. The marines, being pumped on combat drugs, do not fall for the entrancing... swirling... uh... Sorry, where was I? Oh yes, the marines didn't fall for that trick! They began shooting the warp field! The horrors! 

But never to give up willwinforfood sends the captain of the guard to speak to the marines. The marines did not seem to be in the mood to negotiate. The captain was quickly shot dead. Rumors abound that perhaps the captain had been sniffing too much vespane gas and that was the reason he was unable to talk his way into a peaceful resolution.

This was all just fine with Fatal who decided his marines needed to see more damaged Protoss units. So onward the soldiers went straight to the most dangerous of areas in a Protoss base. The wild Probe area!

The probes fought with bitter determination, urged on by the battle cry of "ROOAR" from their commander they charged headlong into a blaze of uranium-depleted shells. Probe R4 was most successful, dodging the hail of gunfire heroically before being crushed by the boot of one ex-football player marine.

But this was not the end of the game! Oh no! One probe fled to get it's older cousins to help. You see, the robots of the Protoss are all related, and when the two Reavers heard how their little cousins were having all the fun they rushed to their shuttle and then smiled at the new Terran friends, throwing them a ball and shouting "Shhhrng" (Catch). The marines, un prepared were smashed by the large explosive balls of energy. Fatal is stunned to silence as willwinforfood survived with superior micromanagement!

Emboldened by his resounding stop of Fatal's attack, willwinforfood launches a cheese attack of his own. Loading his two Reavers into their shuttle and taking a long ride up to Fatal's base. It looked like this one move could win the game!

The Reavers dropped! The balls flew! The SCVs exploded. But Fatal was a quick study, his marines stimmed up and ran like rabbits to the worker line. willwinforfood saw his Reavers taking damage from those pesky marines and a vision entered his head. The vision of Zileas and his Reaver pop! Of course! willwinforfood immediately loaded the Reavers, who are lethal infantry killers, back into the shuttle. Fatal's marines opened fire on the shuttle, and despite drastic maneuvers of hovering in place and moving slightly left the shuttle exploded in midair, killing the two Reavers inside... It was a sad day back in probe town. Some probes even talked of boycotting Robotic Support Bays, the Probe Union had no comment.

Well now Fatal was pissed off. willwinforfood just started whining. For good reason too, since Fatal now had more than three dozen marines and a handful of medics. They were not scared of the mighty powerful Protoss warriors who, in the past, had slaughtered so many of their fellow marines; for they knew that this Protoss tribe were the Suckas a very undistinguished tribe.

Their march was solemn, knowing full well that so many of their SCV pals had been ruthlessly slaughtered before they had dispatched the shuttle. Would Reavers await them at their destination? A scanner sweep put their nerves at ease. Fatal's mind was also at ease and he began to question my partner observer, PrincessCollsy.

The cheese was not yet finished. Obviously willwinforfood knew his cheese tactics would win him this war. So as Fatal gathered his forces outside willwinforfood's base a small force was dispatched to Fatal's cliff. Yes, indeed willwinforfood was about to unleash the Protoss TURBO NEWBIE!

Fatal, unaware of the trouble brewing back home, launches his attack. Quite a large force of marines flanked by cheerleaders. The surprise is immense as willwinforfood sees the massive SIZE of Fatal's hammer.

Wow! Just watching that carnage makes me want to stim up and go running around naked on my lawn! willwinforfood was more distressed about his cheese not being finished yet. He made haste, erecting another forge to cover for the one that was destroyed moments later. Soon the cannons began warping in...

willwinforfood's massive effort to keep this game alive and as lame as possible paid off BIG TIME! As you can see, the three cannons unleashed massive damage unto Fatal's economy. This would have help willwinforfood later in the game. If his entire base hadn't been razed at this point.

This was, for all intents and purposes the end of the game. Fatal began teching to Nukes under my insistence. Fortunately it seemed they would not be needed as willwinforfood lost two of the three cannons to marine fire and the third was going down fast.

I left the game at this point. Since willwinforfood wouldn't surrender and wanted Fatal to destroy every last building. But it was good fun!

Lessons Learned:

1) Fatal could have ended it much sooner had he brought numerous Firebats in with either the first or 2nd attack force.

2) willwinforfood is a cheese player. Always guard your cliffs.

3) Cheese doesn't work when your base is dead.
