A Newby Matchup

Well, this is my first battle report and it will probably suck. I don't have any images or anything, but hey, I'm gonna try. Plus I'm bored.

My two friends and I decided to make a 3 way melee match in the map "Blood Bath". We all sucked, so noone was going to do any good. We already knew this. So, the game was long, and it was slow.

Positions.

Me(I-Are_Zerg):- Top left. (Zerg)

Zerginator-500:- Bottom left. (Zerg)

toss1225:- Bottom right. (Protoss)

The Rushing Failure...

Okay, so I'm Zerg. I start mining as quick as possible, and quickly, grab a Spawning pool. I'm laughing to ymself, and smiling, I'm about to rush the Protoss fella, and hopefulkly catch him offguard. I'm so proud of myself that I accidently click on the drone image instead of Zergling. Shit. I failed. Obviousely by the time I have Zerglings now, they'll be ready, since its a no rules game. Oh well, I might as well try anyway. While I failed, I used those three drones to build creep colonies for protection, and quickly slipped them into sunken mode.

Down at Zerginator's base, hes managed four Zerglings, and one sunken colony. While my rush had failed, he, instead of rushing, made his zerglings patrol his bridge. Wow. Smart?

Meanwhile toss1225 has grabbed a crap load of Probes and is mining away. He has three pylong, and one built gateway, three more on their way. His assimilator is near completion.

The rest of us grab some vespene as well. By now I have built six more Zerglings and another four sunken colonies, making two three by two lines below my hatchery. I decide I mgiht as wella ttempt a late-rush with my Zerglings, in the hope that toss has failed to get cannons.

In toss's base, there are no cannons, but Pylons in the making. He has pylon'd a circle around his entrance, and has sent a Probe in for the top right expansion. He builds a Nexus, and starts building forge's and stuff.

Now, he is completely vulnerable to six-Zergling strike force. I don't know this of course, but I tried anyway. I probably would have got him to, if I wasn't interupted.

Zerginator came in with his four zerglings, and ate up my six, using some wierd micro-management. Well that sucked, but hey, atleast my sunkens finished him off.

Unexpected Alliance.

Well by this time, its pretty much war between me and Zerginator. He attacked me in the midst of my rush. Si I was building two more Hatchery's near the bottom left of my base, so I could get a small ling army to attack Zerginator's base. When suddenly:

Zerginator-500: Lets ally up on him.

Why the hell not? It is in fact a melee not an FFA. So we ally up, and laugh to ourselves. We do not tell toss1225 of our newly formed alliance, and we would keep it that way.

Down at toss's base, he's built his expansion, and has cannons and assimilators, and more gateways. No one planned on having air apparently. Now, i don't know that the upper right was an expansion, and an overlord jsut happened to go by there.

I-Are_Zerg: Hi toss.

toss1225: Hi Zerg.

We properly greet each other in a gentle manner, and I leave after a spot of tea. We talked a bit about politics before I left. It was a nice conversation.

Now I had grabbed a Lair and had upped my Ovies so they went fast, could see more, and could drop units. By this time, Zerginator had went in with a small squadron of Zerglings to the bottom left, and low and behold: He had expanded. His main base lower left, was what we originally thought was his expansion. Now I had an idea.

My Little Drop

well I had decided some worker-murdering was required. I knew he had cannons in the fron tof toss's base, since he had kileld Zerginator's Zerglings with them. I grabbed my four hydralisks (all I had, iwas building and upgrading most of the time) and created Lurkers. I had upgraded fully everything I could by this point, so my lurkers were prepared to fight.

Zerginator took on a small elite squad of Dark Templars but beat them off with his mighty lurkers!... Then his lurkers died to a Templar's evil Storm. The lurkers, and his overlords which held guidance to it's young lurkers, all died with three storms. Zerginator cried a bit, but took it like a man.

Now I had my lurkers, and I had put them into two Ovies. I smirked and went into Zerginators base, and thentook a right at the bottom, and went straight for where toss would have his Nexus.

Meanwhile Zerginator hadre-grouped with more Lurkers, and spread them out more this time. He slaughtered three observers in his base, and then ate up a five man DT squad. toss took on two Ultralisks, but his mighty cannons stood tall upon the attack, and... fucking owned him.

But my secret evil tremendouse plan of evil was put into action. I slipped straigh to his nexus. I dropped off my lurks, ran off with my ovies, and burrowed the lurks. I alughed again, and soon his line of Probes was but a line of blue explosions. Then the lurks went for his Nexus. But, he brought over an abserver, and some dT's and killed them before I could finish off his Nexus. A tear slipped through my eye, I bought them some tombstones with those little flags you put for army soldiers when they die, and let it be. Poor little guys, they tried so hard.

The Attack

Well, nothing happened for about ten mniutes, aside froma few small attacks by toss1225 on Zerginator... He seemed to be elaving me alone around this point. Through these ten minutes I built up a large amount of Zerglings and Hydralisks, planning to take out what I thought was his original base, the top right.

So I attacked. About fifty lings maybe, and another twenty Hydralisks, I went off to his base,e vertything fully upped. My Zerglings went in first and died bravely. The cannons took a few, but soon the lings gained control. The Hydralisks popped in now, and began spitting at the cannons. toss1225, knew by now, that his cannons weren't going to cut it.

Zerginator, on the other hand, had been afk for a long time, and wasn't doing anything. He had built things for air, but never got around to actually making the mutalisks.

toss's original base was working on more DT's, and basically nothing else. He built a few more cannons up front but nothing else.

Now back to the fight. Toss1225 realised that his cannons were about as good as toilet paper to a Tsunami, and so he brought in the brick wall to block that Tsunami. Tempalrs jumped in, and used their evil Psychic Storm on my poor little Zerglings. Half of them exploded, and soon more storms appeared. I knew that I now needed to use some micro management, to escape the storms. I did jsut that, and finished off his cannon wall. His Templars ran for their lives, screaming for mercy, but my Zerglings and Hydralisks didn't show any mercy of their slaughtering.

So now he had nothing but probes in his base. Obviousely he was fucked, for his expansion. My merciless Zerglings ate the base up, and then shat it out. Soonm he had nothing left. And at my base, I had the same with minerals. So I used this as a chance to grab more minerals. Then my geysor depleted, but that was alright, I had over 4k of gas right now anyway. I built a Queens nest, and grabbed some queens, for some Parasiting.

Zerginator was back now, had three Ultralisks and a few Zerglings. toss1225 was now working on a dragoon army, realising his DT's weren't working, since I had patrolling Ovies all over the place.

Suspicion

Well around this point, toss was getting suspicious about me and Zerginator. He bagan asking us if we were allied, and was asking us the last time we attacked each other., so, we un-allied but kept our vision, and made some short attacks.

In the top right, now that I had a hatchery up there, i decided I might as well use that as a place to build my army. Zerginator and I though alike, as he soon sent in a drone four lurkers and a couple zerglings, and took the bottom right of his base. I kept the top left. The main mineral package was gone.

Zerginator finsihed a huge Ultralisk army, and ac chatted me that he was about to strike. He gathered his Ultralisks in a bunch and...

Zerginator-500 has dropped from the game.

Well I didn'y see that coming. I lost my ally, and it was now a 1v1. Needless to say, I was scared.

Dragoons

Alright. Action is slow now, and my Queens are bored. I'm getting a large army into that old expansion area, and I'm preparing for an assault. I send a group of Hydralisks I built at my main base, and sent them to go get in line with the others, they were interupted. A fuck-load of dragoons shot phase cannons at them, and soon my Hydralisks were but puddles of bone and blood. Damn.

Hehehe... Queens are fun.

Now toss1225 was using shuttles to slip his dragoons into the entrance of his old expansion. He was blocking my path to being in more. So I used my queens to see just how amny he had. I took one over, and secretly planted a parasite on an observer my overlord could see. It gave me a good view at his dragoon army. About twenty. I had like forty Zerglnigs and twenty or so Hydralisks. But he had no ups, I was fully upped for everything. That was an advantage. but I wasn't sure I had vision of his entire army. So I brought another Queen, and went down threw my base, and went to the bottom of the entrance to his old expansion. I saw one dragoon ,and Parasited it. He had about double what I had originally seen. Damn.

The Dragoon Slaughter

Well, I knew it was now or never.

I dragged my mosue, clicked over my army, and began the attack. I attacked with everything I had. Zerglings began bitch slapping the dragoons, and the Hydralisks began spitting in their faces. The dragoon fought back, but jsut couldn't handle it. My army finished them off in seconds, thanks to my brave little lings.

Now, I knew he was screwed. That was all he had, and he had said earlier he was out of minerals. Just to be careful, I parasited two shuttles as he brought them back to his base. He had six dragoon left, and some cannons, but that was it.

The Final Battle

My Zerglnigs and hydralisks went in full throttle, and brought hell on Earth... or Blood Bath planet... whatever the hell it is...

His cannons rose high and mighty, but soon fell to my merciless lings. He brought his four dragoons to help out that army, elaving his drop-flank wide open. I used this to my advantage, and used what little micro-management skills I had to slip in some Zerglnigs into my two ovies I had brought, incase they're were more DT's.

I brought my ovies down, and dropped on his Nexus. His Nexus was already damage by my lurker attack lnog ago, so the Zerglnigs ate it up soon enough. then his Probes went down, I finsihed off his cannons, took a shit on his pylons, blew chunks at his forges and cybernetic cores, and then forked his gateways. He lost graciousely. 

I-Are_Zerg: gg man.

toss1225: yeah, you too... This game was fricken long man.

Lessons Learned:

Well, I learned that I don't suck as bad as I think I do.

Realised how funny it is when someone drops right before they attack.

Found out that the game was approximately 1 hour anf 26 mniutes. Whoa.

Wow, you read it all?

Well thanks for reading. If this sucked, sorry, but I attempted atleast. I was bored and had nothing better to do. Leave a nasty comemnt if you must, but constructive critisism would be greatly appreciated. And don't tell me I need pics, I know that already.
