The two Zerg rivals landed right next to each other at the 9 and 6 o'clock positions. While the Terran foes appeared at the 12 and 3 o'clock starts. Jim-The-Car spawns an Overlord on his 8th drone, then prodceeded to produce more workers until a spawning pool and a second hatchery could be made. Alita on the other hand, went for a more aggresive stance. He morphed a Spawning Pool with his 9th drone, then an Overlord and 6 Zerglings which he will use to rush Jim-The-Car. Back at the Terran encampments, two identical wall-ins were put up, but after that, the builds differed. Persain going for Heavy Metal, and SnowSquall heading towards infantry.
Trying to get an advantage in the early game, Alita tells his ally to send his marines to attack Jim. Alita's Zerglings arrived shortly, tearing into a Sunken Colony and a few white Zerglings. Alita's Zerglings rip down the opposing 'Lings, but before the sunken is destroyed, Drones come out and finish them off. About 7 Marines arrive from SnowSquall, but they are surrounded by reinforcing men from Persain and Jim's left over Zerglings.
Another attack is made on Jim. SnowSquall sends all his marines to attack, destroying a blue Bunker and a few assorted white ground troops. The morphing hatchery is forced to cancel, and the remaining Marines walk up the ramp. In an attempt to avoid the Sunken Colonies that have been put up for defense, the Marines walk around the creep, to the back of the Zerg plateau, but die to a group of Hydras and Zerglings. SnowSquall readies another attack, this one consisting of about 7+ marines.
They march their way over to Persain's base, and in the nick of time, kill an SCV that was constructring a bunker. But a new Tank pops out of Persain's factory, destroying the last of the marines. Alita and Persain take thier natural expansions, bringing the total to three, Jim having expanded once his base was rid of the marine threat. But in an attempt to stop his opponents from getting more resources, Persain Turbo Newbies both of his opponent's naturals.
SnowSquall hasn't expanded yet, so it doesn't harm him, but all the Drones at the Zerg base are killed, leaving Alita expansionless for the time being. Time passes, team AlitaSquall tries to rid their expansions of the turbo newbies, Jim-The-Car techs to a hive and greater spire, and Persain floats a CC to the bottom right island. Tanks with a Wraith for spotting remove the turbo newbie over SnowSquall's expansion, while a pack of Mutalisks tear down the Turrets and Bunker over Alita's ledge. Both players start mining immediately.
The Mutalisks continue their journey to the top left, killing the white Hatchery, but are quickly destroyed by 3 new Devouerers and 2 Mutalisks.
SnowSquall wants revenge for the Turbo made on him, and positions two tanks so that they can hit Persain's main gas chamber. It is destroyed and Persain is down to 1 producing Refinery. An interesting thing to note is that the only player with weapons/armor upgrades is Alita, and he only has 2 ground carapace upgrades. Alita has just put up his mineral natural, when a group of Tanks and Infantry from Persain march up and assault the defending forces. At about the same time, he positions 4 Tanks on his ridge, overlooking SnowSquall's choke, causing all his Infantry to run out of range from the Tanks, thus leaving his choke undefended. A constant flow of Zerg troops destroy Persain's attack on the mineral natural.
SnowSquall now tries to take out Jim's natural with his large force of M+M. They Stim up, and Zerg troops start falling, but a nasty surprise moves up, and starts to decimate the Marine ranks. A Lurker stabs whole clusters of Marines from underground, effectively taking out half of the M+M force, leaving the rest to Mutalisks, Hydralisks, and Cracklings. Persain informs his ally to strike at the Zerg expansion, and the full army of Jim-The-Car tears through Alita's leftover forces and destroying the Hatchery. A lag screen pops up, (grrrrrrrr) and we all wait while the timer goes down. It would appear, go down two seconds, then dissapear. Appear, go down, dissapear. This gets to be too much for SnowSquall, he concedes and leaves. The lag clears, but Alita99 is now by himself in the War. He knows that without the help of his ally, that there would be no chance of a victory, so he concedes also. But before he leaves, the lag screen pops up, and apparently, I get dropped. Hmph. It seems that with the forces of Jim-The-Car moving in towards the last enemy expansion, that the game would have been won by team Jim-The-Persain anyway. Good Game too all, I hope you enjoyed reading my report. Ummm... until I can find a personal banner,
