Part II

Hello Welcome to Part II of the series between [SJ]FearFactory and WilliamWC3. In case you haven't read Part I you can Click Here . We last ended at when WilliamWC3 made his first serious attack which weakened the Protoss greatly. Now for my Introductory Story.

Introduction


I just finished Part I to my series "Thats not blood, Thats Strawberry Jam", the night before. I was tired and I slept till 9:00 that day. I faked being sick so I didn't have to go to Church so I could finish up my Battle Report. I went straight to work as soon as I woke up, running to the den to finish my life's work.

Then my father stopped by in and insisted he try to fix our broken computer (for some reason our computer won't shutdown). After not finding the problem, (like he could) he began to lecture me on some shit on ROM (????). He, then decided, to stop talking after he noticed my attention span and left. Back to work I went so I bring you Part II of...



Shortly after [SJ]FearFactory brainwashed this Overlord , both players spawned their armies back up. At the moment, [SJ]FearFactory had 2-0-2 upgrades and WilliamWC3 had not yet upgraded. This vital piece of information comes into play later in the game. Both players armies look a bit like this..

Due to the fact that [SJ]FearFactory Mind Controlled an Overlord.. this gave him the capability to use drop ability on his opponents. He uses this to annoy WilliamWC3 greatly by dropping Zealots on his Expansion points.

At the moment, WilliamWC3 has mined out his Main Base and his Natural Expansion. Having done this, he sends his drones to mine at the Top Middle Natural expansion in search for minerals.

Moments Later WilliamWC3 puts up 3 Evolution Chambers at his 2nd Mineral-Only Natural Expansion. Knowing the fact that he was running out of minerals fast, he then expanded to the bottom right expansion for new minerals. He also builds up more Hatcheries bringing his Hatchery count to 14.

[SJ]FearFactory begins his 3rd Forge (looking to outupgrade the Zerg in which he did), 2nd Cybernetics Core , and adds 1 more Gateway bringing it up to 7 Gateways.

The Turning Point


As you can see from the clip, [SJ]FearFactory attacks the opposing Zerg. He beat them off easily due to his upgrades and destroys that Expansion. He also uses his Mind Control ability to brain wash a few Ultralisks. He uses Mind Control through the game effectively.

He uses his 1 Scout to monitor the expansions in case of any secret bases. [SJ]FearFactory comes across the Zerg Expansion at the Bottom left expansion. He uses this scout to take 600 HP off the hatchery before he dies from spore colonies.

Instead of ordering the Protoss army in to destroy his Expansion in the inner position. He sends his army back up to destroy the Expansions which are still mining. WilliamWC3 sees this and sends up his army back up to meet up with him. WilliamWC3's army consists of 20 Zerglings and 3 Ultralisks . [SJ]FearFactory has 8 Dragoons , 4 Zealots , 2 Ultralisks (??!??), and 2 DarkArchons and High Templars . Before these units could go to battle, [SJ]FearFactory sends in a Probe to the Middle right to expand to both of the bases. The units then went into battle. Right when I saw the Protoss and Zerg fight, I saw a Blue force field surround The Protoss Units and then they disappeared. I looked around the map and I found an Arbiter in WilliamWC3's base with units. He had used Recall to transport his units to the enemy base. (Very clever eh?). The other units that could not reach the transportation field were left there to die by the slicing action of Ultralisks and Zerglings .

Back at WilliamWC3's main, cloacked Protoss units tear up the Drone Buildings. A Dark Archon , which was brought from the Recall, Mind Controlled a Drone . This Drone was used to build up a Zerg civilization. [SJ]FearFactory destroyed the Zerg Main Base. This definetely was not looking good for WilliamWC3 as he only had 2 bases left that were mining.


While the Protoss tears up the Zerg Main base.. WilliamWC3 then puts up his destroyed expansion base at top middle and then expands to the Top Left Expansion island. Due to the fact that all of his buildings to produce units have been destroyed.. he puts them back up at his new main base at Top Middle. Knowing that this may be the end of the game WilliamWC3 goes to drastic measures and puts up 2 Hatcheries in front of his base and builds around 7 Sunkens .



Turtle More Please


At this point in the game, WilliamWC3 gets his First Upgrades up 1-1 Hydralisks and 1-1 Zerglings. He then morphs all of his Hydralisks (10 Hydralisks) into Lurkers for more protection (like sterilized rubbers-"Trust Trojans"). On the other side of the map, [SJ]FearFactory decides to enjoy himself and morphs a sunken right next to the Zerg Expansion at the Bottom left. The Hatchery screaming in pain to itself takes the torture and bleeds tremendously.

Now some of you might be wondering what [SJ]FearFactory is doing with the Zerg civilization other than having fun and mocking the other player. He uses this Zerg Civilization to build an army of Queens (no need to upgrade because he Mind Controlled a Queen earlier and received the upgrades hehehe). These come into play later on....

At this time, [SJ]FearFactory had discovered about this "Defensive Procedure". He then sends 20 Zealots (thinking it will do the job) into the sunken fire. WilliamWC3's Lurkers are still morphing in their little coccoons and the Zealots are ripping apart the base. As soon as the Lurkers finish hatching... he then burrows them. Spikes fly everywhere underground cutting up the Zealots' legs. They soon scurried away seeing there was no Victory in this battle. This pulled WilliamWC3 out of a tight situation. The worn out creep was shrinking as the Sunkens were destroyed. The Hatcheries up top managed to stay alive and replenish the creep. The sunkens were later remorphed for more defense. Due to the fact that a Mineral Source was just a few inches away he decided to send his drones there to mine.


It's Queener Time



Remember the Queens I was talking about earlier? These come into play as he sends his army of Queens (15 or so) to the top base, a bit to the left of the base and a bit right of the island. Trying to go in, he plunged his Queens forward to do damage to the base.... Unfortunately this base was defended with 2 Spore Colonies which made the Queens retreat back to their hiding spot. [SJ]FearFactory then discovers the Expansion right next to the Queens . He had discovered the secret Island Expansion. He then decides to reek havoc on this little civilization spreading out his Broodlings to destroy it




Check Mate ?!






Both players have been content; [SJ]FearFactory with the upper hand. He has out upgraded the opposing Zerg and has more minerals.

[SJ]FearFactory begins his production of defilers thinking he will need them very soon... After they have been morphed he brings them up to the cannon line.

WilliamWC3 morphs up his Greater Spire and later morphs up his Guardians . Due to his great supply of Vespene Gas he morphs around 15-20 Guardians .


As soon as WilliamWC3's Guardians finishes morphing, he then sends them in to destroy the Cannon line. Seeing the Defilers he runs back to the Sunkens in fear. Unfortunately, the Defilers were able to use plague against the Guardians . Seeing the Guardians , [SJ]FearFactory produces Mutalisks .


WilliamWC3 now has 3-3 Hydralisks and goes in and destroy some Mutalisks. The remaining Mutalisks run away back to the cannon line.


WHAT WOULD YOU DO NEXT??!? ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE!!


Send in WilliamWC3's Hydralisk army immediatily!
Send in more Mutalisks!
