   The long awaited sequel to the epic 4ffa on Dark Temple has arrived! Our Hero, GameOverZ, is ready to try his luck again, but this time against people he can beat. Unfortunately, we couldn't find  any people like that, so we decided to go for some random lamers from nohunters. We couldn't find any of those either. Lastly, we went looking for someone that can mop the floor with 7 insane AI's using only his mouse. We couldn't find any of those either. What was left? Well cool people of course. We found some of those. Everyone's favorite everything, .Praetor was sitting around in nohunters, baking bread (As seems to be the trend these days.) We asked him to join my secret channel, that only the elite few that are in nohunters when I Spam for a FFA, dux. Drefsab was also there, and being the pokèmon lover he is, he followed me. So there we were. GameOverZ, Drefsab, and the coolest guy in nohunters, .Praetor_The_Baker, and me using the only name I've ever used (If you exclude every other name I've used) [z]RubberDucky. Let the game begin! 

Don't be fooled. I didn't make this with photoshop, I used paint and a lot of free time.

    Being the ever eccentric Protoss "Praetor", .Praetor chose to command the zerg swarm. (Actually it was his nit-wit sidekick called "comp") so that he could watch the carpet of purple puss ooze across the map. [z]GameOverZ, having no other choice, chose to command the Terran to honor his deceased  pet zergling, who died only moments earlier from accidentally spending time in a toaster oven, thanks to Drefsab, who wanted to have a moral advantage over GameOverZ. 

     Everyone did rather standard builds, given the time and date. Praetor did a wackyThe second Wave ^_^ expansion on 9, at the mineral/gas spot between himself and Drefsab, who was also the target to his LOM. (Late Offensive Maneuver: 14 pool rush with first 10 zerglings) GameOverZ did an early gas build, probably opting for early gas-intensive units, perhaps tanks. (Or a lot of medics) Only wounding Drefsab's small marine force, Praetor hoped that his next wave of zerglings would be able to damage Drefsab more than the first maneuver, which was very rushed and weak. The second wave came just as Drefsab had produced a tank. (Remember, Praetor is powering from his two bases so he's making drones, not zerglings) The second wave was able to get into the scv line, and kill all but 7 scvs, before being scared off  by 5 firebats and a medic, produced from the 3 barracks that Drefsab commanded.

      GameOver's plan had become apparent. He had a Starport with add-on,  along with a Science Facility, who's Physics Lab was being created. Following the name of the Series, GameOverZ was going to produce the best unit in the game, aside from the Infested terran (Which we MAY get to see later in this game) the BattleCruiser! Right above his main was an expansion slot, but he did not realize that it was accessible by ground. Everyone had a good laugh, and praetor started rambling about his bread, making us all jealous. 

        Drefsab, in search of more minerals, stumbled across Praetor's expansion. (Certainly took him long enough) Unfortunately, he did not have the forces needed to take the expansion out, so he just sat a tank with some firebats and medics at the ramp. Praetor was still on some deformed zergling rush, and was  sending a seemingly endless stream of zerglings at the ramp, which was almost completely impenetrable by zerglings. 

       GameOverZ was producing his BattleCruisers, and had two floating between his two bases, while a scv constructed base defenses at the expansion at the very bottom of the map.

 


 I I really hate to jump so much, but there was a huge calm before the storm here. About 6 minutes worth, too. The first action taken to begin what will be known as "end game" (Got there quickly!) was .Praetor attacking Drefsab with 1/1 zerglings, and getting all the way to his SCV line, killing dozens (Drefsab hadn't attempted expanding yet, but had a lot of SCV's) before his horde of marines wiped them out. Just after the attack ended, Praetor's zerglings hit 2/2, and his Ultralisk Den finished morphing in. 4 ultras were immediately produced. 

     As we all know, Praetor is way too cool to let someone like GameOverZ (Who had 5 BattleCruisers, the 2 Starport bastard) gain an advantage. A slow overlord charged itself straight into GameOverZ's expansion, forcing the BattleCruisers to eliminate the non-threat. Several zerglings had been fathered by that Overlord, and immediately charged in, laughing at the BattleCruisers that couldn't kill them all. All the scvs were slaughtered before the last zergling fell to the 6th and newest addition to the BattleCruiser fleet. Back at home, Praetor had defeated what little resistance Drefsab had left, forcing him to lift off and float southward. 


       The fleet of BattleCruisers lumbered towards .Praetor's main, while praetor started producing hydralisks from his 5 hatcheries. Some scourge are produced, but since .Praetor does not want to waste gas, he waits until the very last minute before his Spire falls to produce scourge.


           BattleCruisers (6) at .Praetor's main were taking down buildings very rapidly,  while at his expansion Praetor started morphing Scourge (He had built a spire, just incase.) from 3 hatcheries, while simultaneously micromanaging his attack on GameOverZ's main and expanding to Drefsab's main and an expansion just south of it. Unfortunately, with no hydra support to speak of, the ultralisks and zerglings on the attack were slowly but surely being taken down by BattleCruisers. 1 BattleCruiser was floating over two ultralisks, while GameOverZ micromanaged 11 scv's too kill the confused ultralisks. (They won't attack anything else if they can't attack the thing that's attacking them, a really  cool bug that GameOverZ abused in order to get me to say the following)

GameOverZ micromanaged his Space Construction Vehicles to kill the ultralisks. 

      In a not so un-characteristic burst of intelligence, .Praetor paused the game to go remove his bread from the oven, and add another two loaves in there. He also started bragging about a dinner date, while the rest of us assumed he was lying, and the Dinner Date was just going to be him staring at the oven, watching the bread cook. When the game was unpaused, the BattleCruisers were still working on Praetor's main, even though he had wished on the first slice of bread that they'd magically disappear. Since we all know magic is FAKE (Psi-Storm doesn't count) Praetor decided to do it the old fashioned way, and took out 3 of the battlecruisers,  and brought one down to less than 100 hitpoints with his scourge produced  rigth before the Spire fell. (As noted above) 

      The last thing that Praetor lost in the attack was his hydralisk den. So, the last thing he could make was hydras. (And another hydralisk den, the spawning pool fell just before the Hydralisk den) Anyone remember Hydralisks and The Lost Souls that Love them? Well, in effect, Praetor was pulling what I've coined as an "R-S". Lose your main then make a bunch of hydralisks versus terran. They won't expect it, they usually expect you to die because zerg suck and your zerg.

      With 5 hatcheries (3 at his first expansion and 1 at each of his other expansion) Praetor made a lot of hydralisks. He continued to make hydralisks, while GameOverZ tried to rebuild his near dead economy. As soon as he felt he had enough, he sent them down to GameOverZ's base, and came across the 3 battlecruisers limping home.  (By now, GameOverZ has started mining at the middle expansion, but is not fortifying it, even though there is an overlord  watching over it.)

        As we all know, hydralisks in large number tend to "rape" battlecruisers. This game was no exception. GameOverZ had lost every base he had to hydralisks and 2 dozen (!) mutalisks Praetor (Being the oh-so-sexy Zerg Baker he is) had produced out of nowhere. Everybase except the middle, which for some stupid GameOverZ like reason, had two command centers, niether producing SCV's (Those little guys rule, they can be microed to kill ULTRALISKS!) .Praetor did the most malicious thing in the world a zerg can do to a terran, he made 2 queens and attacked the middle base. Both command centers were infested.  The base fell easily, but GameOverZ decided to be annoying and built Turrets everywhere, which don't do diddly shit vs Infested Terrans. Just to be on the safe side, Praetor danced his mutalisks back and forth so that the turrets wouldn't know that an Infested Terran was about to blow it up. (Btw incase you haven't figured it out,  Praetor has won and is just killing turrets GameOverZ threw up to counter scouting overlords after he lost his middle base)
