DISCLAIMER:
This is my second battle report. My first was a text only Battle Report and faired off pretty well I guess with a 6.0 (I got some good replies on my writing style =)). From all the glory ::nobody:: , and other great Battle Reporters are getting I decided I wanted a piece of it too. But how can I receive it, I thought. Hey why not make a battle report that’s even better then the rest? Well this is my attempt in doing so. Hopefully I will get better at it. Please wait for the images to load…I wasn’t sure how big was too big. And jfyi I drew all the fonts by my self and did every drawing by hand….hence the title “aP_TaKtIkS sTyLE”.
Prologue:
Ok first off I wanted to observe a good game so I can write an interesting report. So I set up a 2v2 between SSD4, I-Ball vs. Laean , Druu’giir. Yes! Finally after 30min of trying to get people to play, it happens. So SSD4 makes the game. I join in, lo and behold…THE BGH OF LADDER! (Lost Temple). But wait this was a little different and a little darker. SSD4 made Dark Temple; he must feel special now.
So the chat goes on in the room…SSD4 being his old self downing on others…. making fun of everyone =( lowering everyone’s self esteem. Finally the game has begins…DOH! The screen appears right at the start…SSD4 has been dropped. DOHx2…I-Ball has left the game. Fux why can’t I get a game going? I ask if the remaining allies would 1v1 since they did not ally as of yet…. their answer was….YES! So this long tale begins as former allies turned to fight amongst them selves influenced form the darkness around…

Proceeding to the game!

Players credentials:
















Player 1: Laean- He might have other names but to be honest I have never seen him in No Hunters before. So sorry to say, I don’t have any background information. Wait! He told me he skipped his class to play this game to be in a BR, lol. So I hope I don’t disappoint you, considering you ditched class for this. His record is 50-30-0 (melee).

Player 2: Druu’giir- This guy is also a stranger to me =(. I have also never seen him in No Hunters either. I have even less information on him then Laean. His record is 11-15-1(melee).

Starting information
This match up begins in total mystery as to what their opponents are, both picking random at the start….
will it be a zerg vs. zerg Ling/ Muta feast? Or how about a Terran vs. toss D-Web / Goon match?
Wait no its none!….
As the fog of war spreads the screen…their true identities are revealed. Laean commands the purple Zerg
swarm, spawning at the 12 o’clock position, as the brown Terran commander spawns at 9 o’clock.

BO!!!(No not the stinky kind! Silly you)
Laean goes for a quick expansion at his natural using the extractor trick. He commands his overlord to scout the area to the right of him. And when minerals allow he builds an extractor then a third hatchery at his ramp. All the while the fierce Terran commander decides to do a wall in font of his natural. Druu’giir build a supply with the 9th SCV with 2 barracks closing in the entrance to his natural, but before the second barrack is started he also gets a refinery. Before any marines pop out he gets an academy at his main.
The Terran becomes curious as to what his opponent is and scouts with a lone SCV. WOW…first try and he found his zerg opponent at 12 o’clock. He quickly covers much ground with the lone SCV in fear of zerglings attacking it. He finds an expansion and a hatchery at his ramp but wait! Whats this? No zerglings as of yet! LOOK he is quick teching to hydras! So he decides to take advantage at this rare moment and plops a bunker in zergs main.



















The eggs are mutated and soon the baby zerglings will hatch. In fear Druu’giir suicides his bunker and cashes in the extra money from hit. He retreats to the bottom of the ramp and builds another bunker there. His marines arrive as the 6 zerglings attack the bunker. The bunker is attacked while the marines kill the zerglings. Then Laean decides to attack the marines… at the end of this first battle 2 marines are left standing or I mean crouching in the bunker.

GA…GAT…GATO…B…GATTA BREAK OOUUUT!

Now the Terran is in charge of the game with reinforcements of marines / medics/ firebats are on route to the bunker at zergs base. Zerg swarms the bunker from all sides with 9 hydralisks. The bunker is easily killed with few losses for Laean. Doh! The reinforcements are here! Druu’giir takes back the control with authority and makes minced meat out of those hydralisks. Druu’giir tries to win the game by leading his left over army into the zerg’s main. He is greeted with a welcoming committee of 3. 1 with the name of MR. Sukenn and Mr. and Mrs. Hydra. His forces are repelled and later killed.

What to do… What to do?
In recent battle with Mr. sunken the Terran commander builds a factory ASAP. Laean goes for quick upgrades with not 1 but 2, evolution chambers! Trying to take advantage of the moment…Druu’giir floats a previously made command center into the top left island where no one is looking…or is someone?
Laean luckily had a overlord on route to the island and spots the free loader quickly. Druu’giir now has 2 tanks at his cliff overlooking the safety of his wall in. He quickly assembles 2 starports to support his island. The zerg swarm does what they do best and expands to 3 o’clock natural space. DO YOU KNOW WHY?? Those fuxors who left game also left their litter with them and the mains are littered with trash.

So Laean sends a clean up crew to rid of the trash and also expands to 3 o’clock main.
Doh! Here I am trying to study this game and people keep msg’ing me! This is one...

OL rapage call 911!
With the 2 starports pumping wairths Druu’giir scouts around the map to find a new expansion at 3’oclock.
The wairths quickly recycles the zerg-fleshed hatchery. Why didn’t Laean stop him? He had mass 1,1 hydras. Wait where did they all go? All the hydras disappeared! Looks like Laean is ready to drop on Druu’giirs island =(. With only 3 turrets and 1 marine. The Terrans expansion was quickly converted to rubble. With the victory over the battle on the island Laean feels he should reward him self with another expansion taking back the expansions that were rudely killed by the wraiths.

*Cough*T*R*O N*W*I* !!!!*Cough*TURBO NEWBIE!!!!
Druu’giir sends a weird assortment of units to zergs cliff overlooking his natural at the 3 o’clock position. This turbo newbie crew consisted of 4 SCV and 1 tank.

He quickly unloads and builds 4 turrets and sieges his tanks. Yes it looks like terran will once own the map again! Wait no never mind, before the turrets are finished 4 2,2 hydras drop alongside the tank, and rids him self of that containment crew.

If you fail once you must try and try again!
Druu’giir assembles a small amount of marines to attack 12 o’clock since according to his comsat results it was left a ghost town. He quickly stims and attempts to enter the natural when a few hydras come down from the ramp and shows the marines and medics what 3, 3 upgrades are all about. Feeling down Druu’giir attempts to humor him self by doing some ol hunting once again. But as he does he is lead to a new expansion at the SE Island. With a nydus canal on way he quickly rids of that first and the hatchery is diminished. This brings back old memories of the first hatchery that was killed in the begging and the wraith leaves taunting the zerg overmind.

REVENGE IS MINE!
Depressed over the lost of his family members Laean decides its time to revolt! And revolt he did. He sends all his hydras backed with defilers to Druu’giir’s natural. The defilers spewed out some orange yucky things and a few seconds later nothing was left. Wait what or those laser thingys? Doh! cloaked wairths. Druu’giir makes sure no
overlords get in his way and quickly repels the zerg force back. Living up to a zergs reputation he assembles another force of hydras and attacks the same spot. This time he brought all his overlords! The wairths tried to kill them but the numbers were to great they were vaporized the second they came to battle. Orange swarm overrides the base once more as the terran commander crys in astonishment. The zerg leaves with the last laughs of revenge!

1. There is no Fuxin imbalance! Zerg won the terran
2. Upgrade upgrade upgrade, and when you are done upgrading find something else to upgrade
3. Offensive bunker can be real effective if done properly
4. 3,3 hydralisk own
5. Battle reports take a long time damnt!
6. Oh yea use your nukes when you have them.


please comment this the only way i will learn thx!
