As the clock hits 5:30, I begin to get bored with TV, reading,
and kicking a soccerball around the house. With my parents gone,
it dosen’t matter what I do, so, I decide to turn into a computer
junkey for the rest of the nite. As I head into nohunters, skimming
for a game, I see kinneykillyou advertising a 2v2. I wasn’t in the
mood for a game right now, but, I felt like taking up the hobby of
BRing, wich I had never done before, and asked kinneykillyou if
he would allow an observer, and, just to my luck, he allowed me to
observe. When kinney found a partner, ]-{ieph, and two
opponents, Ascent-x and Ahscar-x. When I headed for the game, I
thought that this game would be a short, boring, rush game, for
Ahscar-x had chosen Zerg, but, at that time, I had no idea of what
was in store.......
THE BATTLE
BEGINS...
The battle begins with Ahscar-x starting at the 12:00 spot,
and getting zerg, while Ascent-x gets the 7:00 spot, and randomly
getting toss. The other team has kinneykillyou at the 2:00 spot,
and ]-{ieph taking the 6:00. kinneykillyou goes 8pylon, 9gate,
10gate, and an assimilator and a forge. He then stratigically sets
up cannons throughout his base. ]-{ieph goes 8depot, 9racks,
10racks, 11racks, 12depot, 12depot, 13 racks. He puts a bunker in
the middle of all four racks, and pumps out about 8 marines.
Ahscar-x goes 10 pool, then builds a hatchery at his choke, and
pumps out lings while expanding at his natural. Ascent-x goes
8pylon, 9gate, 10 gate,11peon, then gets a forge. He sets up
cannons alont the ridge that gaurds his natural, and then expands
there. Kinneykillyou expands to his natural, gaurding it with
cannons on the ridge above it, and arouund the nexus, and also
with about 8 zeals.
First Blood...
Ahscar and Ascent do a hit and run on kinneykillyou, pulling
out quickly once Ahscar lost a couple of lings, and Ascent’s zeals
got some damage. The two teamates then attacked ]-{ieph, who
had been null most the time, only pumping out about 13 marines,
4 of wich in the bunker, and the rest gaurding his choke. The
marines at the choke fell instantly when Ahscar’s lings hit hard,
and the they started running back to the bunker, 2 getting picked
off on the way, leaving only 6 left to defend the base after the
bunker had fallen. ]-{ieph sadly lifted off, restarting his base at
the 5:00 spot while Ahscar and Ascent pulled their forces back,
leave Ascents few dt’s to finish off the depots and refinery.
Ahscar expanded again at a mineral node below his base, but had
no defense for it that I knew of.
BIG ASS
MOMBOJOMBO
ATTACK ON GOOD
OLD KINNEY....
This attack left ]-{ieph devistated, and clinging on in the
game bay making due with the small space he had at 5:00. Brown
had gathered up a nice defense of zeals, cannons (lots of em) and
goons, with corsairs for air support. Ahscar on the other hand had
built up trememdously and with about 17 hydras and 30 lings, he
attacks kinney. As the lings race towards the nearest cannon, the
hydras stay back and barf out acid all over the attacking zeals.
The 3 cannons that were in the front were razed with no delay,
leaving the ones on the ridge and the fierce zeals to fight off the
alien invaders. Most of the zeals fell to mass ling/hydra attacks,
and some of the cannons began to burn. The lings began to fall to
some newly warped cannons, but, the hydras were hitting the
natural hard. Right when I was about to write down”brown
natural taken out by mass/ling”, I noticed that the hydras began
exploding, and I head the familiar sound of a warblade slashing.
Dark Templar! Ahscar-x pulled his beloved hydras out of the
battle, back to his choke point. Ascent-x had surprisingly sat out
that battle, probably cause he had a shitty strike force that
wouldn’t do didly-squat, but, now, had 2 archons, a couple of
goons, and 2 templars (I’m not sure if thats correct, but, thats what
my notes said...hehe) Ahscar had rebuild his force, and, even
stronger, he attacked again, this time with ovies to see the deadly
dt’s that had just finished dry-cleaning off the blood on their
capes. This time, the hydras pushed through the loyal zeals that
were the first line of defense, who were probably saying: “die
bitch, die!!!!!!! My life for Aiur!!!!” But, they quickly dissapeared
into a puff of smoke. When the dt’s got their turn, the hydras
began making quick work of them as the dt’s were saying “
goddamit, i just had this cape washed, but, no, you guys havta barf
and bleed all over it!! damn you!” as the hydras were saying
“raahhgraagggcracklerahhhhhgrrrrrrrrrrcoughcoughrahhhhgrauuh
hh” wich ment, “haha, we can see you now, you pudgy little
bastards!”
In the end, the hydras won the quick battle, and Ascent dropped
his small strike force into kineykillyou’s main, storming anything
that moved, and the archon/goon/temp/hydra/ling mix just
overwhelmed kinneykillyou’s cannons and lone goon.
Kinneykillyou was quickly taken out, as Ahscar brought about 5
gaurdians and a bunch of scourges to take out ]-{ieph’s 5:00 that
hadn’t done didly squat, and was easily taken out. He tried to lift
off his cc, but it was quickly taken out by a lone scourge.
]-{ieph’s barracks that had found its way on a platue was made
quick work of and ]-{ieph surrendered and the gg’s were given.
lessons learned
even though lings have 30 health, they can do hella lot of
damage in numbers, and, as we saw when ]-{iep got his ass
kicked, they can easliy pick off unupgraded marines, especially
when they’re running.
even when your attacking someone, take the time to build more
troops while your attacking, this keeps a nice flow of troops if
your attacking men are being wiped out, as we saw Ahscar-x
do. this lead him to a great game, and he overpowered his
oponents. ]-{ieph refused to do this, because, with the 4 racks
he had, he could have pumped out at least 20 marines before he
was attacked, instead he chose to watch his enemy get attacked
(so it seemed like) This refusal led to his destruction
Well placed cannons can do great damage, but, dont rely on
them alone to fend off an attack. Even though kinneykillyou
had zeals to support his canons, it wasnt enough, and the
attacks left him crippled.
expansions count in all games. As ahscar-x had succesfully
expanded twice, he ended up with mucho mula wich equals
mucho troops, wich eaquals strong attacks, wich eaqual another
win on your record.

Thank you all for hanging in with me. As some of you may know,
this is my first BR, and, next time, i will provide screenshots if
someone would so kindly tell me how. Ascent-x, you were good,
but, just most of the good awards went to ahscar. kinneykillyou,
you were pretty good also, and you were able to hold off a real
strong attack. Ahscar-x, wow, you were great! you handle the
imbalence of zerg verywell, and, you even attempted to crowd at
your choke, wich is very hard with zerg. ]-{ieph, you just sucked.
I cant believe you just sat around with 13 marines, not building
anything special, and letting yourself open for attack. Your the
kind of person that i love to 1v1..hehe
