Anyways, he proceeded to draw his sword and hack a sunken colony to Oblivion, screaming something about Royal Immunity. Whatever. He sics his blade on two drones and a hydra, before they all burrowed into the ground. The DT just happily whistles and goes back to work, killing all drones on gas, and another sunken. That's when all hell breaks loose. The protoss army that had left the DT alone was running across a field to the 3 Main, but that was BEFORE they stopped at the 3 Mineral to let everyone know where the hell they were going, and then when they get to the base itself, they Traverse right over all the hydras into the middle of the base, and then start to burn things up. AT that point, The Hydras and drones unburrowed, His DT decided just about then to flank some hydras from behind the gap in the minerals. No body told the "High" (Wink wink, nudge nudge) Templar though. A Badly placed Psi Storm takes the life of the DT, along with 2 hydras. WAS ALL HIS LIFE JUST WORTH 2 HYDRAS YOU UNFEELING TEMPLAR BASTARD?!

The Executor was quick to act, and without even TRYING to build much of an army, he counters the assault on his men in the previous attempt, and sends 3 lots, 3 goons, a HT, and a DT to the 3 min. to get some vengeance. Too bad the same exact hydras that stomped his last attempt were leaving the 3 just as he came. Lets just put it as they put their leg upgrades to damn fine use, and head back to the safety of Home. With 15 Hydras on your ass, I'd be running too. But that's when Corbalt decides to take advantage of the situation. At his 9 Min., he has about 3 cannons, positioned along 3 gateways, powered by two Pylons. These things came in overtime in the entire 3 main fiasco. But as the hydras slowly start to lose their number, they retreat back to the 3 Min.

He puts all of his hydras on hold, and waited for the S.O.B. to come back. Come on, punk. Make my day. He lost two groups of hydras, and he had about 5 hatchs for this kind of thing.

During all this, Corbalt expands to the 6 Mineral. Remember this line, you'll be hearing this line alot the next 4 pages of useless text and pictures. When Corbalt came back from playing exterminator (He got an Obs and discovered so many burrowed lings) he went to the 3 min. and unfortunately, discovered that his gay tatics were now inferior to the cunning mind of The Tsunami! So he had to do something else. Something else...

He didn't have time to think! 4 lings had discovered the Top Secret 6 Mineral Expansion. Corbalt responded to such a dire situation, and sends more than enough units, 3 zealots and a dragoon, to take care of the menace, but what they don't count on is the 7 or so hydras that are quite pissed to say the least. Without a single problem, the Expansion fails. Also, Around this time more or less, a lair came into the world.

6 Sexy Dragoons headed to the 3 Mineral, and try to lure the children into the gingerbread house... I mean lure Hydras to the stupid cannons aimlessly. Also, as I earlier stated about the expanding thing, Corbalt tried to expand to the exact same place, but had to cancel his buildings to ling, still losing a photon Cannon and a pylon in the process
. At the 3 Mineral, Our good buddy Tsunami's Hydras went to lurkers. Back at the 6 Mineral, Corbalt had used his gosu skills from micromanagement to take 7 Zealots, 3 Dragoons, and an observer to take out 4 hydras. It was insane! He just attack Clicked and everything! Whoo! He then took them to the 3 Mineral, attacking from the south. But they are forced to retreat because those Lurkers I talked about earlier hatched, and burrowed themselves in strategic brilliant Positions in the base, basically the middle where Corbalt have been attacking all day. And No sooner then they burrow, the protoss came. Right in the middle. But they were scared off due to the fact these were 2-0 lurkers. So they do the next best thing, they head to the 3 Main.

Since the 3 Main, the Site's been going through a massive renovation of more sunkens, and an Overlord. Gee, Tsunami can learn from his mistakes. Now about Corbalt, he went right up the ramp and just stood there. Well gee, there was a new Hatchery with Nothing protecting it overlooking the 3 Min. that would be sweet to knock down, then cast Psi Storm a jillion times on the drones below. But that doesn't happen. He stands in-between the two hatcheries and acted like he was thinking. When he finally made his decision though, Some zerglings and hydras ran from the back of the base and tore the guys apart. I didn't even see them before. Maybe they were dropped? But regardless, 3 goons survived the tiny onslaught. and retreated to the center of Lost Temple.

They were joined soon enough by a huge force that could easily have taken out the Zerg by now if done right. But it didn't happen. Tsunami got all of his lings that he had on hand, which were quite a few, by the by, and send them over to the 6 Mineral. The 6 is the only place Corbalt could expand to, sans the Island expansions, which no one has tried to really claim yet. Corbalt coulda claimed both islands, and have more than enough to kick ass with. But he didn't.

Corbalt having his expansion fully operational at the time was probably quite content. He finally got his damn expansion up and running, and he has a decent economy. He might even try to go deeper into the 6 and take the main and Nat, since he basically got his foot in the door here. He had mined out his original base by now, and was moving on. Tsunami meanwhile wasn't close to finished to mining out any base at all. Why? Because he has his workers evenly spaced out. OK, in reality he wasn't trying to mine out everything at once. He might have 9 drones at home, 12 at his first exp., 7 at his mineral, and so on. Although it doesn't seem worth noticing he is keeping a very stable economy so far. He does have excessive gas to play around with so any tech is well in his grasp. The Lings I mentioned earlier spotted the Protoss Platoon in the center of the map, and before Corbalt could run back to his base, the poor guy was just SWAMPED with zerg units. Lurkers, Hydras, Lings, everything so far that Tsunami bothered to pay the cash for ran head first into the guy. Tsunami was taken absolutely No prisoner, Nor was he really wanting for the game to go on any longer than it already had. Here's the kicker, the Observer that Corbalt made for the army is on the other side of the map, and the Lurkers have already started to burrow, so what to do? Fortunately, Corbalt brought some High Templars that were for the most part Fully charged and where ever a row of spikes would shoot up, Several Psi Storms dashed over the area where the spines originated until the ground would bleed, then he'd search for the next set, drawing back when he needed to, and held off the lings/Hydras from his HT. I should also point out that a hive was under developement when this entire battle was going on.

Now THIS is how he should play. He rationalized a second, and then did the slightly Unobvious. And he was retreated, albeit slowly, taking out more than his share of Zerg ass. But when his main weapon, The High Templar, ran out of mana, he willingly sacrificed them to warp into archons to delay any protoss slaughter that could have happened. The rest that lived ran back to the Cannons and waited for Corbalt to make more men. Tsunami, during the "Great Calm" had finally decided that He had to play offense sooner or later. All this defense is just wasting time, so he throws down an Ultralisk Cavern, a defiler mound in the main, and a Spire. He also got his hive to get Overlord Range.

Corbalt's attacks lately just seem like suicide runs. He needs to think his attacks more. He already lasted this long, right?.......RIGHT?! Corbalt for the fourth time expands to the 6 Mineral after some stray zergs from the above paragraph razed his expansion. Damn, I forgot to say that didn't I? Well, Corbalt got his act together and got quite a bit Dragoons, Zealots, and Archons again. And after taking out a line of Lings heading for the 6th Mineral, I saw something he do that was exactly what I have been screaming for him to do the last half hour. He took his attack NOT from the center or south of the 3 Mineral. He hit it from the north! Why is this so important ye ask? Maybe it was because of the fact he didn't have to deal with lurkers whatsoever. All of the lurkers were placed earlier on the southern side of the Expansion to prevent any damn Raids on the base. But Tsunami never considered an attack from the north a viable option. This lack of preparation only left Corbalt with 3 sunkens to deal with, and of course the repositioning lurkers, which just to say, never made it back into the ground. The guy played like he predicted every movement that Tsunami could make. That is, every movement from units he's already had to deal with. Lurkers, Lings, Hydras. But he didn't see one thing. 5 Ultralisks came from the south, after Corbalt had taken all of the sunkens and Lurkers out. If it weren't for those damn Ultralisks, he coulda done more damage. His entire force was destroyed in seconds, leaving Corbalt with the nasty aftertaste of Defeat.

The game is almost done people, bear with me. I plan to get a damn 7 on this report! The End is ultimately upon us, and it better be. It took me about 3 days to get this damn far. Tsunami runs to the 6 with his ultralisks, the same from the last attack, and targets each individual building. The only problem was two cannons that didn't last too long, me thinketh. Corbalt gave up on the base altogether. It wasn't worth the gas to protect it, let alone the minerals to rebuild it.

At this same exact time, two fully upgraded overlords (speed, Drop, Range) filled with 12 Zerglings gave birth to the east of the gateways, where they chased down two zealots to the back of the base, and moved inside out, attacking anything in the way.

AT about this exact time, a perfectly coordinated Ultra/Ling combo hit the east wall of the 9 Mineral, Targeting all of the probes and cannons instead of the gateways and Nexus lying right there.
