Legit Shopping

by some random sc_addict

Welcome to my first BR - This BR is somewhat off topic, and will include no pictures! Also, I would like to apologize for my poor English in advance, as I'm no native speaker of the English language.

This BR has been named legit shopping, and describes one of the greatest matches I've played in the last few days. For those of you not familiar with the term 'legit', it is a shorthand for legitimate (or so I think), and denotes a style of playing games that is concerned with sportmanship more than winning. So if you're legit, you're NOT cheating, stabbing or using any other form of whatever sick methods of abuse you can think of.

I hadn't been to No_SC for quite some time, so I gave it another shot, just to see if I was still able to face its subtle challenges, hoping for a good game to BR... And sure as hell, I found a good matchup after establishing that my fridge rating had dropped rapidly due to constant loss of pizzas. Seeing that my economy was fine (although I hadn't powered properly lately), I concluded it was time for some massing....

The map will be HL - a supermarket that should not be new to players from germany, but maybe to foreigners to my country. Without further ado, I randomed Zerg (that's what you get for playing Starcraft nonstop without taking a shower in between) at 6 and after some minor skirmishes with some supermarket peons, I started massing.

My Build-Order was something like

3 x Pizza Bolognese
Some Salami (when minerals permitted)
Toast just when the salami finished
Save larvae
Try to get hold of some beer ASAP

I quickly ran into the pizza expansion, only to find it walled-in by three exceptionally fat zealots... Being the legit player I am, I did not spit any acid at them but decided to go for some salami first, and check later if I could break through.

To support my early tech to salami, I slapped down some toast to prevent the zeals from rushing me. I also tried to get hold of some beer without damaging my economy too badly, so I decided to go without upgrades this time and settled for some Hansa (being the cheapest beer in Germany).

Seeing that the zeals still hadn't moved, I decided it was time for some cheese... While the psi-bladed warriors were distracted by the sight of all the food in the fridge, I microed 3 Pizzas out of their shopping carts without them noticing... Quite an amazing stunt to pull off this late in the game! Pleased with my success in mutilating their forces, I decided it was payback time.

I shuttled all of my forces over to the choke, where they positioned in the infamous conga-line; Some of the other players were around as well, and sure enough, the usual smack talking commenced:

'Young man, I was here first, you wait till it's your turn. I don't wanna spend all day waiting for your lag.' Some older woman yelled at me. Oh well, she thinks she's so gosu. There was only one way i could reply: 'STFU maphacker', I said, 'You better be shopping legitly! Take a screenshot NOW'

I had to pay dearly for this bold maneuver, however, and when I returned from my mission, I was, after all, glad to be back at my computer...

Here's the scores:

3 x Pizza Bolognese

4,50 DM

1 x Salami

1,89 DM

1 x Toast

1,99 DM

6 x Hansa Beer

3,00 DM

Hope you enjoyed the BR.
