Ladies and Gentlemen, LLLLLLLLLLLLETS GET READY TO RUMMMMMMMMMBLLLLLLLLLLLEEE!!!!!
Early Game:
I go scouting with my overlord and I take a risk, and build up to 9/9 drones and then do the 'trick' with the extractor/build drone/cancel extractor trick and go off building a 2nd hatchery at my natural, then spawning pool, overlord, drone, zlings.
At about this point i discovered orange protoss apparently cannoning himself inside his main to build carriers, (i as just about to find out just how wrong i was) and brought my overlord back to my base. Zerglings! completed! I move my Zerglings to my newly created expansion and send one of them to scout around.
I build a second hatchery in my main and threw down 2 Evolution Chambers in order to upgrade my vicious swarm, and began to build zerglings, after zerglings, after zerglings, including an occasion overlord or two. At about this time, I found Teal protoss, unfortunatly, my brave zergling was slaughtered by a huge row of cannon fire. According to what my Zergling discovered, teal has cannoned himself inside his main and has built many, many gateways. Upgraded my 2 hatcheries into Lairs. After lairs were finished, researched the overlord upgrades.
I took 2 drones and 6 zerglings and moved down to the 7oclock main and began building 2 hatcheries for faster expansion. Orange attack my partner with a HUGE line of zealots. I dont hesitate and send 36 attack/armor/speed upgraded zerglings and helped my ally slaughter the zealots, yet my ungrateful ally wouldn't even spend the time to thank me. Taking one look into my ally's base, i discovered roughly 10 sunkens and a lair, obviously he was going for mutas or guardians. Threw down a spire and a queens nest and expanded to the 9oclock position.
Believing that Orange's main is now defenceless, i send all my zerglings to attack, they were met with about 5-6 photon cannons. My swarm ignored the cannon fire and ripped them to shreads in seconds, after this, there were only a few scattered zealots defending orange's main, and my zerglings swarm sent them to the next world. Orange said, GG and left.
Upgraded my Lair into a Hive, expanded to the 7oclock's natural. After my lair upgraded into a hive, I upgraded zergling attack speed, created a defilers mound and built several queens and lotsa hydras and threw up 3 more hatcheries at my main.
I take a look into my ally's bases, he had expanded to the 11oclock position and had quite a huge number of mutas and hydras. Why he had not atttacked with them is a total mystery.........why do I weird felling about this......
Defiler mound completed! I immediatly researched plauge and built 2 defilers. I send 1 overlord into Teal's main from the air and descovered that there was practcally no defences guarding Teal's main. I see i huge line of starports and . My patroling zerglings discovered a probe going to the 9oclock natural, probe died soon afterwords ;)
I gather 32 fully upgraded hydras and load all of them into overlords, my lords dropped them right into the middle of Teal's main. With no defences guarding Teal's main but 2 carriers, my hydras turned the protoss base into a pin cushion. Unfortunatly, i still cannot break through the 20+ photons at Teal's choak point, so i built 6 mutas and turned them into guardians. I research extra nrg for my defilers.
I put my hydras back into the overlord and brought them back to my main.
My guardians began to attack Teal's choak. At this point, Teal said, Im dead, and quit........wait a minute....... the words has left is written in blue! he has not left yet, what is he up to?
My ally's entire muta army flocked towards Teal's expansion, but he didnt attack the cannons! he attack my guardians! Cursing his betrayal, I send all my zerglings into his unguarded 11oclock expansion the entire expansion was ripped to shreeds. Meanwhile, my 'ally' attacked my drainned 7 oclock expansion, and destroyed it. My 'ally' was kind enough to leave shared vision on, so i sent all my hydras to intercept purple's hydras. My 32 or so fully upgraded hydras met in combat against purple's 24 or so non-upgraded hydras. My hydras simply cut a path through the hydras with a hot psiblade through a zergling.
My guardians are now all dead, and purple sent all his mutas to attack my undefended main(all my units were either attacking his hydras or were killing his exp). Im beginning to panick, as the mutas killed my spire and then my spawning pool when an idea just came to me. I took my defilers and darkswarmed my main, ate some drones not doing anything and dark swarmed my main again, and again and again and again. I was laughing my purple's muta flock shot at thin air. Meanwhile, I am making hydras with all my larvae. I do something very risky, and plauge/ensnarl the muta swarm, ARGH! my newly created Hydralisks emerged from the eggs, and delt death to the mutas whom could not do anything under dark swarm. I start making more and more zerglings.
I gather all my Zlings to purple's choke, and waited for my defilers to arrive, I dark swarmed purple's entire main and sent my ravenous horde to annailiate the base. Purple's sunkens and mutas attacked my 'lings, but one cannot attack what one cannot see, all of purple's sunkens are not gone, and ive destroyed 1/2 his main when purple asked me for allied victory! LOL, here is basically what he said,
Purple: Please ally with me.
Me: WHAT!?!?!?
Purple: You're going to the win anyways, just ally with me.
Me: But you backstabbed me!
Purple: I was just going to destroy your main then ally.
Me: Lemme think.....
Me: Still thinking.....
Purple: Well?
Me: DIE YOU B****!!!!!!!!!
Im waiting for the victory sign to appear when suddenly, a huge swarm of interceptors engulfed my 9oclock expansion, Teal, long left for dead, is attacking my main with carriers!
I hurry, and gather all my hydras/defliers/queens and sent them to attack the carriers. At about this time my expansion is dead, so i waited for him in the middle. Sure enough, Teal travelled to the middle, obviously off to kill my main.
While my hydras are attacking, I use my queens to ensnarl the carriers, while my defilers plauged them and dark swarmed my hydras. Every last carrier died soon after.
I send my forces scowering throughout the map, and discover a huge line of cannons at the 3oclock main, so that is where he is. I gather all my zerglings and darkswarmed the cannons, goodbye cannons ;) my zergling force ripped apart the expansion and Teal left with a "GG".
WOOHOO VICTORY!!!!!!!
Lessons learned:
-queens and defilers, the most underused units in the game, is amazing when used correctly.
-if your main/expansion is attacked by ranged units, dark swarm your own main/expansion and build zerglings/ultras to take out the attacks.
-Don't backstab, it is the second lowest thing to do, other than hacking.
-Be prepared for a betrayal no matter what, dont be caught off guard.
-EXPAND EXPAND EXPAND!!! you cant just turtle yourself to victory!
