Lifetime Rating for Necrosausage!: 7.2963 |  | Map: Black Lotus
Teams:
Necrosausage! (chosen Protoss, teal)
Orne (random Terran, blue)
Amilada=God (chosen Protoss, red)
vs
ralessi (chosen Protoss, orange)
Upgraded_Probe (random Terran, white)
-CD-Tarranau (random Protoss, purple)
[Starting positions in the screenshot section]
As you see from the starting spots, it was quite clear that -CD- Tarranau and Amilada=God are going to be double-teamed
The battle began...
I agreed with Orne that we will double Tarranau, and so I sent my first 5 Zealots to him. He made the mistake that he tried to rush Orne in the meantime with 3 Zealots, so my 5 Zealots had almost no resistance when slaughtering his probes. His 3 Zealots returned to save the base, but it was too late since Ornes M/M/B were already on the way - -CD-Tarranau was destroyed and left shortly thereafter
Meanwhile, far away on the other side of the map:
As expected, Amilada gets doubled too, but at least he can sicure most of his probes and start to rebuild at the 7th starting spot, where Orne puts defenses up for him - its a 2v2 now but only till Amilada rebuilds, it will be a 3v2 at the end...
The building and skirmishing phase of the game...
I made two expansions, and started to pump out Observers till I had around 12 (7 for the map, 5 as escort for my troops since Upgraded_Probe had quite a lot of Wraiths now)
Orne mad an expansion too, and Amilada went totally for economy, building 3 or 4 bases and starting to build his fleet beacon, it was pretty clear what he was heading for...
A few skirmishes occured, one of Amiladas bases fell, I got of a few good Psi Raids on the enemy, and finally my Psi Limit exceeded, telling me that its now time to...
ATTACK!
We did now control the whole bottom of the map, while Upgraded_Probe held the upper right and rilassi was at the upper left.
At first, my force of 10 Carriers, 10 Corsairs, 1 Shuttle full of Templars (all with 250 mana :) and 5 Observers started to crawl towards Upgraded_Probes main base. About a dozen of Wraiths attacked it, heading straight to the Templar-Shuttle and killing it with one, deadly volley of missiles. Revenge! My Corsairs went in to revenge their High Templar brethren, and the Wraiths did all explode at once when the deadly Corsair splash hit into their tight formation...
I proceeded to lay D-Web on everything that could harm my 3/1/1 carriers, and flew over the land that was once owned by Terran, leaving just smoke and dust were once Probes main base stood
Meanwhile, Amilada and Orne were not sitting around idle, as you can see at the screenshots down in the screenshot section, Amiladas force consisted of about 12 Carriers, with a sizeable Zealot force supporting them, while Orne went in with one squadron of Wraiths, and a big M/M/B Force with strong Goliath and Tank support, relassis Dragoons did not stand a chance against this concentrated power, and his importand buildings, that took lots of time and money to build, were destroyed in just a few seconds...
While ralessi fought until his last brave fighter did go down in a blaze of glory, just as real Protoss Warriors should fight, Upgraded_Probes men did turn out to be not so brave.
One of his SCVs turned against his own master and committed suicide by destroying his last building, a Missile Tower. My Corsairs went in as fast as possible to prevent the treacherous SCV from suicide, and their DWeb kept the SCVs from further damaging the Tower, but it was already too late and the Turret burned down ... :)
Lessons learned:
1) If you are between two enemies, like Tarranau was, you better keep your boys at home for Defense
2) If you are about to kill a player in a 3v3, dont let any Peons escape. Amilada had enough minerals to build up again and that's why this game was a 3v2 instead of a 2v2 in the end, look at the end screen in the Battle shots section, he even came out to be 2nd in ressources :)
3) If you have a Shuttle full of Templars with 250 mana, keep it behind so it cant be killed so easy ;-)
4) Always have a lot of Observers, especially in 2v2 or 3v3 and on big maps
5) PsiRaids are really, really effective...

the starting spots of the 6 warriors...
Orne and Amilada mass up and kill ralessi
the final results, note that Amilada, who was double rushed and almost wiped out, still finished 2nd in ressources
