I thought about posting this in the forum, but it would get run over with comments too fast, and I do have kind of a lot of writing :)
BTW, this report is only 5 images, it isnt pretty, I didnt screw around with it at all, and it should send you packing very quick.
I do have ALT-text though (yay!)
Anyway, I was in nohunters last night, playing a few games, yadda yadda. Well, I kept losing them =( and I knew that i was getting really irritated, and I really don't like playing against nhers when I am irritated, I get mauled. Ferociously. ANYWAY, I decided to go pub-bashing, to aleviate my pain. I joined two 2v2 temple (not bgh) games, and lost both of them, one to a 5 pool sunken rush, and one to a 4 pool. Yes, those pubbie games are quite gay...
Blah blah was scrolling again, vowing that this would be the last game of the night, and that I would get some $@&!ing sleep before school tomorrow (fat chance...its 11:30pm)....and I saw an inconspicuous looking "2v2 temple" game, and quickly joined.
The pre-game conversation was boring, blah blah. I was on the bottom with a fellow named Starvolk, and on the top...well, you'll see.
Map: Lost Temple (fu, btw)
TEAMS
derek.. = 12 o' clock ZERG
Starvolk = 9 o' clock TERRAN
VS
Zileas = 3 o' clock ZERG
D22-soso = 5 o' clock PROTOSS
After promptly shitting my pants, I started on my build.
I figured I would have to haul some ass, so I frantically clicked and prodded my mouse, until I had my 9 drones mining away, and started my overlord. My partner, Starvolk, having probably pissed his pants a few times over, started complaining about some bullshit lag that barely existed, and left.
Manner? - derek..
ally at end, k? - Zileas
Well, you can guess my next move.
Yup, I expanded at Zileas's natural.
3 minutes later...
Well, my hopes were high and I was pushing on strong. I expanded to my natural, got mahself a lair and a hydra den, and was upgrading to lurks when I came to a stark realization. I was totally screwed no matter what! Then I came to another realization.
I was under attack.
So anyway, soso made a comment something like this
"haha, this is like watching a 1v1"
I promptly sent my last 6 zerglings to attack him. My judgement may have been cloudy, but I was thirsty for revenge, and Zileas (red) was really scaring me with his mutas anyway.
I managed to make it to soso's mineral-only, and was attacking a pylon when an arbiter flew over, made a u-turn, and stasised my 6 lings.
d'oh!
Needless to say, I repelled Zileas's withering barrage of mutaling, took my natural, min-only, and the island to the west of me, and slowly overpowered soso with my god-like macro of hydraling and a late showing of guardians, then turned on Zileas and ran him over with cracklings.
Ok, maybe not, but I didn't get a loss!
Overview
Conclusions:
1. D22-soso and Zileas are newbies, and I can easily own them.
2. I'm a compulsive liar
3. I shouldn't have stayed up so late
4. Oreos are the best cookies ever made, and finally,
5. I already had a lot of respect for Zileas (who made up tons of strategies for BW that seemed silly during beta, but are widely used now) and D22-soso, who perhaps has the best all-time record vs grr.., and won the Brood War Season 1 Championship.
BTW, I seriously didn't make anything up about this whole report, the only bullshit in this report is in the conclusions:)
