Hello, And welcome to my 2nd BR, My first one was awful, because I gave it minimal effort, but this one will be better I assure you.
First, Our players are...
Xalt.
Some person who played in a replay of a game I obsed awhile ago, He might be a smurf, though he's not that good. Playing blue protoss at 9:00
~!Freak!~
A very excellent zerg player who's macro is awesome. His micro isn't bad either. Playing brown zerg at 12:00
Game starting in
5..
4...
3..
2..
Just scroll down already!
~!Freak!~ Starts out with a 9 overlord to a 12 hatch at his natural aka: an expansion. He then gets a pool on 11
Xalt Builds a pylon with his 9th probe a gateway with his 11th and another gateway with his 12th.
They both go to scout early and Xalt Finds his opponent going early expo, so he waits with his probe at the choke of ~!Freak!~ while a zealot is produced from one of the two gateways. The zealot hastily runs down and attacks the expansion which is unprotected because ~!Freak!~ Has not built any zerglings yet. Reliazing this, he builds another hatchery at his main and produces 6 zerglings from his original one and 6 zerglings from his nat, but Xalt already had 3 zealots and a probe there so ~!Freak!~ had to pull his zerglings up to his plateau where they met up with 10 other zerglings. By this time, that 2nd hatchery at his main was finished and Xalt had built up 7-8 zealots at ~!Freak!~'s front door.
Suddenly, after a bit of buildup, in which 18 more Lings were produced at put into flank position. Xalt charged with his 8 zealots and 2 goons that he built up, but the flank worked amazingly well.
All this while, Xalt has been teching towards high templar and just got his first a minute or two before the flank, but it was useless until he could upgrade storm, which was halfway done by this point.
Xalt also expanded right after the flank, which reminds me, show the minimap!
Update!
Now.. back to the game
There is an uneasy silence for awhile, in which ~!Freak!~ expands to the 6:00 main. And they both build up their armies, until Xalt
attacks ~!Freak!~ but is outnumbered 4-1 and runs back to base, but only 1 unit makes it back, and he brings some friends.
As hard as it may seem for ~!Freak!~ To lose this battle, he does, through
Xalt'seffective use of storm and cannons on cliffs. But
Xalt is weak after the battle, and comes out with only a few HTs and a couple zealots. After the battle,
Xalt sees ~!Freak!~'s 6:00 main base and starts attacking with a DT. But he has to run away because an overlord and 4 hydras come.
Then Xalt decides it's time for a little action and attacks ~!Freak!~'s mineral only which ~!Freak!~ expanded to a while ago. But the attack fails pathetically due to bad storming and bad macro. But
Xalt does kill 20-30 hydras and a couple of lings. There's a short silence, which gives me time for another minimap update!
See that dot of orange on the edge of
Xalt's base? That's ~!Freak!~'s lurker drop. ~!Freak!~
Charges his lurkers into the heart of
Xalt's base and he is pursued by a dragoon and a zealot, but he makes it to the probe line with only 1 casualty and starts attacking the probes. He kills at least 4-5 probes before they run away and at the same time, drops 2 lurkers on
Xalt's nat. Killing all the probes there before storming them to a crisp. So now
Xalt's economy is suffering horribly and he only has 1-3 probes on the mineral line in any of his bases while ~!Freak!~'s economy is flourshing. ~!Freak!~ still wants more though and expands to both the 3:00 main and the 3:00 nat. ~!Freak!~ also expands to another mineral only . Knowing ~!Freak!~ was getting farther and farther ahead he figures the time to attack is now. Though his whole army destroys ~!Freak!~'s mineral only with many casualties, he was not so lucky against the rest of
Xalt'sbase however, and soon lost his whole army to ~!Freak!~'s lurkers and sunkens. /font> ~!Freak!~ decides it's time to end this now and charges full force at
Xalt's base and cuts through
Xalt's 3 zealots and 1 HT gaurding it like a hot knife through butter. ~!Freak!~/font> then charges 40 hydras up
Xalt's ramp and they exchange gg's. Then
Xalt leaves.
Notes
Xalt would have won if he had stormed more effectively, for most of his storms were 5-10 feet away from the actual target and sometimes even hit his own units.
That flank at the beginning saved ~!Freak!~ from certain death.
