"The nut versus that guy is a very good game!"
- The-nut, on his first br
Well since good o'l ~cb~ has come back, I've been inspired again. He was the one
who started my interest, and prevented me from leaving. This report is for
him, and the rest of br.com. It's not dead yet, there is still hope.
But still, its summer! I’m out of school right now and I can work on BR's at a
quicker pace, but I need more games. So, lets meet the players!
All-fear chose toss this time, and he
warped his nexus in at lower right main.
Resonate> chose Zerg and
morphed his hatchery at the upper right position.
The Battle Begins
As in a typical game, both players scout.
Resonate> sent his first
overlord to upper left, and found nothing.
All-fear guessed correctly, and
sent his probe to upper right. By the time it got there,
Resonate> had already started a early expansion,
(as most Zergs do).
The probe attacked the hatchery for a second then it was chased away by a drone.
The drone followed the probe back to
All-fear's main base. Both players knew where the other
one was.
All-fear didn't want to be out-resourced, so after the
scouting, he too started a very early expansion. (The drone saw the expansion too)
All-fear dangerously skipped infantry production, to make
tech units. He was thinking corsairs for the enemy overlords. His dual stargates started making corsairs.
Resonate wasn't idle, but he too did a risky move. He
expanded to upper left natural expansion really fast, and had no regard for Protoss infantry. If
All-fear had made zealots now, the game would have been
over. Well, luckily, none of the two rushed, so the game will last longer.
Corsair Rush
All-fear sent his first corsair to the main. It chased around
the overlords and killed one. Then two more came from the stargates. The overlords ran to the upper right natural,
but the two corsairs intercepted from the bottom, while the first one attacked from the top. Those overlords burst.
Resonate had expanded again, to upper left main. He had stationed the other
half of his overlords there, hopefully to hide them from
All-fear.
Remember,
All-fear still didn't know about upper left and upper left natural, so
he stayed at
Resonate's main for awhile, but then he scouted the upper left area, and killed
the overlords that were there.
Resonate was desperate for some hydralisk, but the overlords he made were always found
by the corsairs. He kept making overlords at all his hatcheries, which cost him a lot of money, and the corsairs found them.
Protoss tactics
The corsair rush was a huge victory for
All-fear. It cost his enemy 1800 minerals, and he still had 2 of his corsairs left.
He took lower left for himself, but at lower left natural, there was a pack of zerglings. He made himself a robotics facility and a
robotics support bay. Two reavers in a shuttle met the zerglings, and the scarabs did incredible damage to the pack of zerglings. The reavers
suffered no damage. Another loss for Resonate, but not a big one.
All-fear prepared a
reaver and zealot drop with some corsair air support. He thought the best spot would be upper left, so
Resonate would lose even more confidence. By losing his expansion.
The shuttles moved behind the mineral line, and the reavers were unleashed. Many drones were killed before they got the chance to run away.
Then
Resonate's hydralisk came. The zealots behind the reavers ran up to the hydralisk and cut
them into steaks. The reavers helped. The ultralisk cavern was torn down by zealot blades,
the sunken colonies went down easily to the scarabs, and the base was destroyed.
Resonate was screwed one too many times, so he finally fought back. He sent a
swarm of hydralisk and zerglings to the lower middle expo where
All-fear had recently expanded.
The swarm killed a good number of probes, but as they advanced to the cannons, a few reavers from the recent attack were there, and
the Zerg were reduced to ketchup because of the scarabs and zealots which had also recently arrived.
Resonate is desperate for expansions again, and expands to mid left, and makes no defense, because his
funds are low. He has a few drones there.
A minute later, a shuttle with a zealot in it found the expansion. The drones ran away. The zealot was free to destroy the hatchery because there was
nothing to oppose him there.
a
All-fear took all his reavers and zealots and corsairs, and dropped them at mid right, another one of
Resonate's new expansions. The huge group of reavers pulverized the defense that was there.
Resonate was outraged by this, and sent more drones to furthest upper middle, and started harvesting there.
The Zerg are off to a bad start!
The Turn of the Tide
All-fear, surprised at his success, drops all his reavers and zealots at
Resonate's main base, and sends his corsair fleet there too.
Suddenly, from the south-west, a large fleet of mutalisk flew up and greeted the Protoss attack. The corsairs and mutalisk clashed in combat. The
corsairs fought bravely, and killed many mutalisk, but the number of mutalisk overwhelmed the air defense.
All-fear's attack was now vulnerable. Glave worms rained upon the reavers. One by one, they burst into blue and white
flames. The zealots focused on killing the primary hive. The mutalisk were now done with the reavers, and they went to the zealots. The hive had very low HP and was killed.
Then the zealots died. The Zerg were now the ones on the offensive.
Resonate had rebuilt upper left. He wants lower left, and he won't be stopped.
The flocks of mutalisk fly toward the Protoss, and engage with the photon cannons.
The clot of mutalisk takes out the natural, and destroy the probe, then move on to the lower left main base.
There were photons still warping, and a few scattered around the base. A few mutalisk died here, but the
base was still crushed.
The base was cleaned of probes and Protoss buildings, and the mutalisk fly away and prepare for their next strike.
The secret text: My next report is going to be another FFgay with bob the newt! don't tell anyone
The Comeback
Resonate has rebuilt mid left, and wants mid right, but he knows that
All-fear has nabbed that spot, and fortified it with photons.
Resonate won't be stopped by cannons though. He sent all his mutalisk
there to take mid right. He wasn't expecting so little cannons, so he continued the attack.
Just as he though he would win,
All-fear sent in a brand new group of corsairs. The mutalisks were vaporized.
All-fear had some carriers in his fleet, and he made more. He had remade his infantry,
and was ready to strike back.
The secret text: In the future, I plan to make new and more awards! And next report I give out another Jimmy Award for the last 4 reports and the next!
The Protoss carriers/corsairs/zealots/dragoons were in position, and headed to upper middle expansion. There, they encountered no
resistance until a fleet of devours came from the east. With them were some hydralisk to match the Protoss ground.
The corsairs used disruption web on the hydralisk so they couldn't help, and attacked the devours. The zealots were occupied by a few ultralisk that
came from the western direction, while the dragoons helped in the air.
All-fear sent a few scouts to help, and help they did. The devours were
getting more and more hurt every second, but the corsairs were covered in acid spores. The zealots were then done with the ultralisk, and
killed the hydralisk, and the scouts finished off the last hp of the devour fleet. The expansion was wrecked.
Attack and Counter
All-fear had the carriers attacking upper left natural and main. The carriers and infantry took out the defenses that were there,
and the dragoons killed the fleeing drones. The lower left main and natural were retaken by
All-fear (again) but furthest mid bottom still remained empty.
Resonate had a scourge there, waiting for a nexus to start building.
Resonate decided to counter the carriers with hydralisk, by attacking mid right and taking it again.
He put dark swarm all over the base and sent men into the place.
All-fear claims that he wasn't notified because his probes were under the DS, but I'm not sure.
Back to upper left, the carriers have destroyed upper left natural and an arbiter had arrived all the way from
All-fear's main. A few overlords see through the cloak, but interceptors keep them away.
The hatcheries of upper left spawned a good group of hydralisk to harm the carriers. The hydralisk walked past the interceptors, and the overlords
moved in. One carrier was harmed, but the arbiter quickly put a statis field on them. The zealots moved in, waiting to kill the hydralisks when the statis field
wore off.
Back to mid right, Resonate
has destroyed the photons and probes that were there, and the D-swarm was thick. The probes didn't have a chance to run away after the D-swarm was gone, and
finally
All-fear found out about it.
All-fear had been making more corsairs at his starport. He sent them under the arbiter, and waited for something to do with them, then he decided
to hunt some overlords again. His upgrades were at max, and he searched for them.
He found them at furthest upper middle, and chased them. Many overlords died, but not all. Only
two got away, one had red health, while the other had yellow health.
Resonate sent the leftovers from the battle of midright and attacked the main frontally. Zealots were there,
and they got nowhere because a reaver was also nearby.
Then he produced from mid left, and cleaned lower left. He then moved on to lower mid.
He killed the probes there, once again. The zergs took the base very quickly. The protoss buildings were torn down, the pylons were burning, and the nexus blew up.
Then the hero reaver from the main base was let out of the shuttle, and started blowing up packets of Zerg.
Zealots then came in, also from the main base, and butchered the zerglings.
The area was scoured of Zerg, but All-fear had lost the buildings and the expansion.
The Protoss Fleet
All-fear strengthened his fleet and
took lower left natural, then upper right natural, and upper middle, and were continuing. They were unstoppable.
The fleet of carriers and corsairs cleared mid right and the colony was rebuilt.
They advanced to upper middle, and left after the hatchery was destroyed.
They destroyed upper left, and took back lower left natural, but right after the fleet left,
Resonate rebuilt upper left main base.
After this they took lower left main base, but in the wake of destruction,
Resonate remade furthest upper middle and upper left. He was regaining his power.
The fleet was considerably weaker after all the rampaging, and it was waiting to take back lower left.
Then, mid right was under attack by a large group of hydralisk! The fleet had not the strength to defeat it, so mid right fell once more.
The Great Fall
All-fear didn't have to power to take back his expansion, nor did he have to power to
attack the Zerg again. He waited and built infantry to defend what he had left.
The Zerg came in great numbers, the ones that died were replaced by another one. The zealots held the ramp, for as long as they could, but the
number of Zergs had overwhelmed them. They went past the ramp area, and the few zealots that still lived, were killed.
Pierced with many spines, were they, they did not stand a chance. The last zealot fell, and the Protoss city was under attack.
The spines hit the shields of the buildings. The first few buildings were reduced into rubble, but then alas the
carriers came. The fleet was very small compared to what it used to be. Psionic storm from a high templar crackled over the hydralisk, but they withstood.
The interceptors were destroyed before they could hurt the enemy. The last carrier of the fleet that was left was injured badly, and fled. The Protoss main fell,
into death and destruction.
The rest of the Protoss expansions fall to hydralisk and mutalisk,
All-fear was defeated!
I will return!
