This day was a normal day. A day of playing, observing, and having fun. But little did I know that today, I would observe and very, very, cheesey game. Today, our game starts in channel: Clan -x17. (HAHA! Take that NH f00ls!) After an hour of chatting and snooping around and joining games when I wasn't invited, I found myself watching Shadowlisk... and Snakeyez battle it out on The Lost Temple. The set races were Shadowlisk's Terran, and Snakeyez' Zerg. Once the game was launched and the players visioned me, I saw that Shadowlisk... was in the 9 o'clock position while Snakeyez took the 6 o'clock start.
Shadowlisk starts his game off with a Supply Depot and a Barracks, placed in wallin formation at his ramp. He erects a Refinery and second Supply Depot at his ramp then sends an SCV to scout his opponent. Snakeyez sends his Overlord scouting, and after seeing his opponent, retreats it to the far cliff above Shadowlisk's natural. Snakeyez build starts with his expansion Hatchery, then follows it with a Spawning Pool, an Overlord and Extractor. Shadowlisk constructs two Factories and a Starport once those finish, in preparation for a Vulture drop. Both players construct their respective supply structures when needed.
 
As soon as his first Dropship is done, Shadowlisk loads up 4 Vultures and makes the short journey to his opponent's base. They land smack-dab in the Peon line, and start popping Drones. Snakeyez moves his Drones to his ramp but doesn't start them mining at his natural which is now guarded by Sunkens and has a second hatchery morphing there. Shadowlisk follows the fleeing Drones and is able to slaughter all but a few of them before they make thier escape to Snakeyez' natural. The Vultures follow and are killed by the Sunkens. This attack did much more than stunt Snakeyez' economy though, as it revealed his Lair and Hydralisk Den.
Shadowlisk has been idle at home however and starts construction of 2 Command Centers at his natural. Snakeyez is quick to rebuild his economy, and soon has 2 Lurkers headed to Shadowlisk's natural. A third Lurker was dropped in Shadowlisk's mineral line. The two Command Centers are quickly canceled, and as the Lurkers try to run up the ramp, they are blown apart by Spider Mines. Shadowlisk rebuilds the two Command Centers in his main. The 3rd Lurker however, had much more success. All mining operations were stopped, and Shadowlisk had to wait until his Academy finished before he could get rid of it. Meanwhile, Snakeyez has just moved a 4th Lurker to Shadowlisk's ramp. And in a show of pure brilliance, Shadowlisk manages to lose every single SCV he had in trying to start mining at his natural.
Shadowlisk is quick to revenge, as he performs the third act of Cheesiness of the game. His new Wraiths along with 2 Tanks in a Dropship head down towards Snakeyez' natural. Not having any mode of Transportation yet, Sankeyez is forced to abandon his expansion for the time being. To make up for the loss of his expansion Hatchery, Snakeyez morphs three Hatcheries in his main, and gears up to take the offensive. Soon, Hydralisks and Zerglings are pouring out of their eggs, and Snakeyez is loading them into about 7 Overlords. The Overlords drop their cargo and quickly retreat. Shadowlisk's main quickly starts to burn, but Marines, Medics, and Tanks weaken the drop enough for Wraiths to clean up.
Sankeyez makes his first attempt to remove the Turbo Newbie from his natural. A couple Hydralisks and 2 Lurkers are dropped but because of his overwhelming stupidity, Snakeyez didn't burrow his lurkers and manages to lose everything. More cheese is en route to Shadowlisk's base however, as 4 Lurkers drop in the mineral line... again. Snakeyez makes up for his earlier stupidity and uses the Lurker distraction to run over Shadowlisk's wallin which was guarded by a single Tank and 2 Marines. The Hydralisks press their luck too much and are slaughtered by a single Tank which was being repaired by 8 SCVs =/. Snakeyez kills the last Tank and retakes his natural, but only to be turbo newbied again, this time with Infantry support.
In return, Snakeyez drops 4 Hydralisks on the top left island. Shadowlisk is quick to construct a Bunker and put SCVs around it. Snakeyez is forced to retreat and morph 2 Lurkers to take out the Bunker until reinforcements arrive. Shadowlisk has retaken his Natural though, and is mining it heavily. The retreating CC lands at Shadowlisk's mineral only, and is quickly surrounded by Marines and SCVs constructing Barracks.
Shadowlisk doesn't hold this very long, however. Snakeyez sends his huge force of Hydralisks and Zerglings in to wreak some havok. The mineral only is razed, and quickly following was the Terran natural. The Hydralisks are stopped at the ramp by Tanks and Marines. Now neither player has any mining expansion, so Shadowlisk refloats his CC to his natural and slaps down some defense. Snakeyez takes his mineral only and the 3 main. But that quickly falls to 7 stimmed Marines.
Snakeyez makes a large Crackling drop on Shadow's main. No amount of available Marines Medics, or Tanks are able to stop this, and Shadowlisk is forced to irradiate his Science Vessels in order to kill off the last Zergling. All that is left of his main is a Command Center (burning), a Starport, a Barracks (burning), and Science Facility, all of which, are in the air. But Shadowlisk is not done yet, as somehow he pulls 12 Marines and three Medics out of his ass, and runs over both of his opponents Naturals. The Marines are killed by Cracklings, but more are en route. Snakeyez declares he is out of money and calls it quits. After this incredibly cheesey game (which included about 4 Lurker drops on SCVs that I didn't talk about) Shadowlisk... is the winner!
