Welcome, one and all, to my latest foray into the world, of battle reporting, it has been a long and glorious day, full of me desperately trying to find a game half decent enough to do a br on. Unfortunately, this is not it, i couldnt find a really GG so i found a O.KG to br instead.
But, before we go on..... The Players...........
Mad_Diamond00:Spawned purple zerg on the bottom, he will henceforth be known as diamond
Starookie:Spawnedorange toss up top, he will henceforth be known as
rookie
Part I(Zealots and cannons and probes oh my!)
And so it begins...... rookie starts things off with 2 gate zealots while his opponent diamond powers lightly and starts heading for hydras. Hoping to catch diamond being greedy and powering too hard, rookie sends in his first three zealots and the reinforcements in an elongated zlot vs ling battle which rages back and forth until rookie is finally beaten off with the aid of a sunken colony and a few hydras, his remaining forces rally with some fresh goons at the top of diamond's ramp and throws up a pylon and cannon there.
Part II(There all the expansions lie....)
After this initial clash, rookie has set up a blockade and begins the process of teching to temps so he can deliver the final blow. He also adds a few more gates at his main, and sends a probe out to his natural, where it sit there, idle for about 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, in casa del diamond, preperations have begun for sacs with the purpose of getting some drones out to the exp site below rookie's nat where a fresh source of income can aid the breakout fund.Diamond also researches lurkers and continues to pile up hydras hoping to catch the blockade crew un reinforced and undetectable. While this is taking place tho, rookie has begun production of a pylong, gas, and a nexus at his natural, and is making a few temps while researching storm. Unbeknownst to diamond he has also since added a robo and observatory and is spying on the un-overlorded parts of diamond's base with a few obs, he also has one at the blockade. With 2 fresh and shiny lurkers, and a handful of ranged hydras, diamond decides to go for the gusto and swing the battle in his favour, unfortunately for him, no only was there detection, but a few too many goons for the hydras to handle. heres the result......
With that attempt silenced, it has now become apparent to diamond that he needs an expansion before he can get up the Hydraliskular fortitude to bust out. he loads up 8 drones into an ovie and send them to the closest expo point, right below rookie's sweeling natural. At this point he lays down a hatch and moves the other drones out of the way. However, In a fit of self confidence, rookie has just layed down 6 gates at his natural and moved half his probes over from his main. He has also collected more goons, more zellies and enough temps to cause worry.But before we continue, lets take a stat check...
Part III(The Climax[i love that word =P])
Anyway, as you can see rookie has a slight advantage. Well, in preparation for the final bitchslap, rookie is in the process of moving a few more goons and temps to the front lines. However, diamond's waiting probes see this movement, as upon seeing the temps, realises the end is nigh, they suicide themselves uselessly trying to kill the templars before they reach the front lines. Needless to say in this way, the expansion attempt is discovered, and executed harshly.
Upon the arrival of the temps and goons the their destination, the hammer falls......
Several storms later, the hydralisks are cleaned up effectively and the goons and zellies set about tearing down the last of the sunkens while the templars storm masses of drones who run futiley into the corner, where they cower and are stormed once again into oblivion. The game is over, gg's are exchanged and the zellies and goons tear down the last of the buildings.
Part IV(Scores, bores and final chores)
Lessons Learned
~Fading Realms is a cool 1v1 map
~A contained zerg is an owned zerg
~if rookie knows hes winning hell make it really overkill by adding horrific numbers of gates
~i still suck at BRing
