Lifetime Rating for PooHandler: 7.3125 |  | | Hey guys. Remember me? Yeah, the kid with the real shitty report. Well, I've got another one for you. I'll try to make this one better than the last. I played around with my Paint Shop Pro v.7 a lot and I figured some shit out so the pictures won't be so faggish this time around.
To get started, it took me 3 fuckin days just to find a game worth reporting. God damn, everything that could have gone wrong while looking for a good game, did. One really awsome game, very close, was going really good. The guys were going back and forth and the suspense was insane. Then, out of the blue, when I think something BIG is going to happen, that could turn the tide of the game, one of the guys disconnects. Sometimes people wouldn't share vision with me, sometimes the people didn't know what a battle report even was and when I said I was doing one they freaked out and left. Pansies they were. Well, enough bitchin', I found a nice game and here it is.................
Rush)Zone begins with a pylon right next to his Nexus, in order to keep everything centralized, and then goes to scout with the same Probe. As soon as Redneck_Firebat reaches the 10/10 mark he begins the ever popular wall-in starting with a Depot.Not long after the Pylon is done and Rush)Zone finds Redneck_Firebat's base, he begins his first Gateway. Rush)Zone sneaks his 
probe through Redneck_Firebat's choke and starts attacking the SCV before it is finished with the Depot. No luck there, so he backs off. He is chased off with an SCV while another starts the Baracks to add to the wall-in.
A little bit before the Rax is complete, Rush)Zone brings the probe back and starts roaming around Redneck_Firebat's main like he owns the fuckin place. Well you know what I say. TO HELL WITH YOU PROBE. Before he can do any damage to anything a Rine pops out of the Rax and caps the probes ass before he can make it out of the choke for his escape.
Redneck_Firebat's wall-in is done and he starts working on his first factory, trying to get the jump on teching. At the same time he also makes sure to keep his Rax moving and popping out Rines one at a time while awaiting the completion of his first Factory. Rush)Zone has another Gateway coming and starts making Goons as soon as he can.
Rush)Zone's second Gateway completes at the exact same time as his first Goon warps in from his first Gateway. He sends the Goon over to Redneck_Firebat's base to check out the choke while warping in 2 more Goons and another pylon to re-enforce the psi for his Gates.
Redneck_Firebat begins the construction of his second Factory as soon as the first one is completed and starts a machine shop on the first Factory. Redneck_Firebat's choke is attacked by a lone Goon but is, very quickly, chased off by 3 Rines. Not to worry for Rush though because 2 more Goons were already on the way and arrived just in the nick of time. All 3 focus their attack on one of the Depots to try and break down the wall in. The 3 Rines come up again with a few SCV's to keep the Depot standing. Then, just in time, a single Vulture comes in ready to kick some Goon ass. Rush)Zone realizes that his force Goons equal shit right about now and back off.
Rush)Zone pulls in another Goon around Redneck_Firebat's choke and has him join the other group of 3. Just then, Redneck_Firebat lifts up his Rax to expose a fresh-outa-the-Factory tank and another Vulture. That makes, just so you know, 2 Vultures, a Tank, 2 Rines, and 3 SCV's. They march on, down the choke and into the pile of Goons where they start kickin names and takin' ass. Wait, isn't it....? N/M. Anyway, they go down that choke and chase off the very fucked over Goons all the way back to Rush)Zone's base.
This is when shit just about starts to go all out insane. Rush)Zone turns his Goons around to try to take out Redneck_Firebat's attack right outside the natural but, due to awsome spider mine usage, Redneck_Firebat manages to keep them on the run. Once the Goons are gone, Redneck_Firebat starts up a natural expansion and lays spider mines in the front to keep out any curious Goons and whatnot.
As of now, Rush)Zone has 2 Gates with one on the way, a Robotics Facility, an Observatory, and a Core(obviously). He is upgrading Goon range at the Core and is just about done making an Observer, as to see the mines with. Redneck_Firebat has 2 Factories, the ever popular Wall-in, and an expansion at his natural.
 Rush)Zone brings an observer over to the front of Redneck_Firebat's base and sees all the cute little mines sitting around, so he brings in his army of Goons and takes them all out. He then proceeds on to Redneck_Firebat's expansion and begins takin out SCV's like a mofo. Redneck_Firebat doesn't take this lying down. First he lifts off his CC and flies it away. He then brings out a couple tanks and seiges them, one on the plateau and one just under the plateau, and this manages to chase off the, nearly deadly, attack on his natural.
Once the attack is gone, Redneck_Firebat lands his CC back near the natural and begins mining again. He now has another Factory and makes sure to keep all three working as much as possible. So Redneck_Firebat gathers up about 8 Vultures and 4 Tanks with some SCV's for support and heads over to Rush)Zone's base to start his first offensive. He encounters a force of 5 Goons right outside his natural, but after a breif battle Rush)Zone realizes he can't win and pulls back a bit. Redneck_Firebat pushes forward to Rush)Zone's base. He reaches his base and seiges about a screen length south of the choke. He sets up many spider mines and starts building Turrets with the SCVs that he brought with him. Once the Turrets complete he begins to move forward. He first sends in a few of his Vultures to lay down some more mines and then moves his Tanks within range of the Goons and Zealots. He pulls the Vultures up to the Goons and Lots and attempts to micro them out in the Tanks but they are overwhelmed by the Vultures and back up into their fresh natural expansion.
Rush)Zone isn't giving up though. He brings 4 of the Goons in the preceeding paragraph to attack the back of Redneck_Firebat's little choke camp. At the same time this is happening he also brings forward the Goons and Lots that were pulled back to his natural.
Both the attacks combined do some very nice damage to the camp, but Redneck_Firebat manages to hold on a little longer by bringing in a few vultures from his base for back-up support. It eventually proves to be too much for Rush)Zone and he backs off....for now.
 Update: This is how the map is looking right now. First off, at RUSH's main he has 3 Gates, a Templar Archives, a Citadel of Adun, Robotics Facility, an Observatory, and a Forge. At his 3:00 expansion he has and assimilator, 3 Gateways, and is getting ready to make a fourth.
Redneck_Firebat's main contains 4 Factories with a fifth damn near completion and an Engineering Bay that he has kept afloat since he built it. Redneck_Firebat's natural is heavily guarded with Turrets and also has Tanks on the plateaus.
By the way, all the way to the left there, the little blue dot. THAT'S ME!!
Although mostly everything from that camp attack is destroyed, Redneck_Firebat comes in with 3 Vultures and tries to get a few mines out in order to take out the Goons. Only 1 is even succesful in attacking, but it doesn't kill the Goon. The Vultures end up dying while trying to lay more. After this, Redneck_Firebat brings in a few more Tanks and seiges them right in the middle of the map. They are lightly guarded with a few Vultures and some mines. Safe for now.
Though those Tanks may be safe, Rush)Zone spots a new expansion starting at the mineral patch in front of the plateau. So he brings in a 3 Goons and a few Lots and manage to stop the expansion for now. But after killing the SCV, the Goons and Lots are quickly taken out with Tank and Vultures
 Redneck_Firebat makes an attempt to destroy Rush)Zone's 3:00 expansion with an initial attack of 4 Vultures. Rush)Zone brings in a reinforcement of Goons and Lots from his main and the Vultures are easily disposed of. So he regroups a bunch of Vultures and tries to sneak through Rush)Zone's main choke and make his way around to the Probes. He is chased to the mineral line by a group of Lots and the Vultures are taken out without doing too much damage to the Probes.
With a larger army, Redneck_Firebat once again goes for an attack on Rush)Zone's 3:00 expansion. He brings a large group of Tanks and Vultures and starts off by setting mines in front of the choke. He then proceeds forward and seiges his Tanks in range of the Goons. This draws the Goons to attack toward the tanks and right into the previously set mines. The Tanks are taking out Goons in doubles and triples with the splash damage. It seems that Redneck_Firebat may have the upper hand this time. But, lo and behold, out from his main Rush)Zone brings another group of Goons and lots and take out the tanks while the intital group works on the Vultures. Having the close access to his Gates, Rush)Zone was eventually able to overcome the attack at the loss of a bunch of Goons and Lots. No damage to the building and once again, the attack on the 3:00 expansion was a failure
Immediately after the 3:00 attack failure, Redneck_Firebat tries to take the initiative on another attack on Rush)Zone's main. He bring a Tank and a few Vultures to the choke area and start laying Spider mines. Ready for the attack are 4 Goons attempting to fight off the attack and a couple more being made at the Gateway. Seeing that he has the advantage Rush)Zone comes out of the choke with 5 Goons and an Observer and starts taking out the mines. Once this is completed they proceed to the 2 Tanks waiting just behind them and continue to lay waste to them.
At the same time the action was going on is the above paragraph, Redneck_Firebat was deploying 5 Vultures and 3 Tanks back to the 3:00 to see what he could do there. A pack of Zealots were ready and awaiting this attack. 6 to be exact. Plus one brought over from the main, so 7. They took care of the Vultures and Tanks with only 3 casualties. The 1 remaining tank back off when he sees there is no hope for victory as of now. The Lots chase the Tank back to Redneck_Firebat's base where they meet their fate at the hands of 3 Tanks, 2 Vultures and a pile of mines.
During a very short pause in the action, Rush)Zone begins an expansion at the 3:00 natural and Redneck_Firebat begins on at the 9:00 main. This also gave Redneck_Firebat some time to make a nice attack force of Tanks and Vultures and the action, once again, comences.
 RED sieges a huge amount of Tanks in the middle of the map and lays a bunch of mines all over the place. Rush)Zone sees this happening with an Observer and says "fuck you". He brings in a bunch of Lots and Goons to start taking out this attack before it gets to far. First he goes for the mines, which are placed at the front of this attack and are unguarded. After doin this, the Lots proceed to about 6 tanks sitting against a wall and starts taking them out one by one while the Goons go for the Vultures.
The Lots are taken out by an overwhelming force of Tanks and the Goons are taken out by some mines that were laid inside the attack wave. All of Rush)Zone's units were destroyed but with so many Gates he already had a bunch more Goons on the way. The only thing left at this point were Tanks so that is what they went for. Once again, due to overwhelming numbers of Tanks, the Goons were destroyed at the price of 2 or 3 Tanks.
Now that resistance is out of the way, Redneck_Firebat begins to move forward, again, to the 3:00 expansion. He bigins by making a Turret right outside the expansion. This is quickly seen though and starts getting attacked by a large force of Goons. This triggers the Vultures to go in. Between the Vultures and the Tanks behind them, the Goons are force to pull back once again. This enables the Tanks to move further up and begin the attack on the expansion. The Tanks seige and manage to take out a Cannon before a Shuttle pulls in and drops off some Lots. Not to mention the Lots coming down the choke. There are just enough to take out all the Tanks and a few of the Vultures and save the expansion for now. But just when you think the expansion is safe, it isn't. Out come a huge group of Vultures that take out the Lots. They proceed into the 3:00 choke where they are met with a Lot and a Goon. After disposing of them they head back to the minerals where they are taken out by a Cannon and some Goons.
While he Rush)Zone is defending his 3:00, he is also attacking Redneck_Firebat's 9:00 with a large force of Goons and Lots. He manages to take out the Factory and the CC. This puts a big damper on RED's economy.
Redneck_Firebat is completely fed up with this shit. He gather up ever Tank and Vulture sitting around his base and collects them just outside Rush)Zone's 3:00 natural. He slowly moves the Tanks toward the Nexus, but just outside the range of the Cannons, and sieges them. And so, another 3:00 attack begins. He takes out 2 Cannons just before the Vultures micro the Goons out of the choke and the real battle starts. Now, Rush)Zone isn't going to just sit around and take this shit. He bring all of his Goons and Lots from the 3:00 main and his 12:00 main. He Gather one group a good distance behind the Tanks and the other group on top of the 3:00 choke. Then, all at once, he sends them in. A mass from the back and the front. Rush)Zone manages to, once again save his 3:00 natural and even has some units to spare.
Redneck_Firebat sends some Vultures over to the 9:00 area to try and start up another expansion. First he sets mines all around the mineral so that nothing will be able to get to it. Oops, before he can get he SCV there to start the construction, a Probe gets to it and starts warping in a Nexus.Well Redneck_Firebat will have none of that. He sends out his Tanks and Vultures to take it out. They are quickly met by Lots and Goons and another fight ensues. The mines make short work of the Lots and the Tanks on the plateau easily take out the Goons. Then Redneck_Firebat starts his own expansion.
 Now that he has a new expansion set, Redneck_Firebat makes his way to the 3:00 natural, again, with a huge army of Tanks and Vultures. Before he can do too much damage, Rush)Zone brings in all his units, now with superior strength to RED's units, due to upgrades, and takes the attack out very quickly.
Once the seemingly endless line of Tanks and Vultures are destroyed, Rush)Zone gets ready to make a move on Redneck_Firebat's 9:00 expansion. But before he has time to do that, Redneck_Firebat runs a bunch of Vultures in to one of Rush)Zone
Im just going to interrupt for one second to let you know that Rush)Zone has 16 gateways and Redneck_Firebat has 7 Factories. Also, all of Redneck_Firebat's chief mineral sources are exhausted and he has barely established another expansion.
Now Rush)Zone starts to head over, with all of his units, to Redneck_Firebat's expansion at the 9:00 position. Once there, he first starts to take SCVs at the mineral line. Then proceeds with the Tanks and Vultures that were called in for back-up. Once again, it appears that the Tanks on the plateau will be victorious. But wait, Rush)Zone scoops up some Lots in a few Shuttles and drops the Lots right on top of the Tanks, killing them almost instantly. Now that those are out of the way, there is nothing standing in the way of Rush)Zone's attack and he continues to take out the 9:00 natural expansion. With his minerals gone, and his only access to minerals being destroyed, AND with overwhelming upgrades, Redneck_Firebat realizes he is fighting a losing battle and leaves.............
And your winner is.............can I get a frikkin drum roll please...(drums).....Thank You......Like I was saying, Your Winner Is..................
Rush)Zone
