After a long period of not playing Starcraft, the lone warrior known only as 'Ghetto' decides it is time to make another attempt at a battle report, but the pressure was great. How to make a good br? And is winning the game an important factor?
Soon these questions, and more shall be revealed. Ghetto's first opponent ended up to be a "-=xabis=-", whatever that is supposed to mean. Matchup was terran versus protoss. Ghetto decided to be a bitch, and expanded to the island at the NorthWest corner of the map. Thinking all will be solved when suddenly, -=xabis=- left the game. Undaunted (but with quite a bit of cursing), Ghetto remade the game, and another warrior entered the colloseum : =HELLBRINGER=
Zerg vs Zerg : Which is the better race?
I spawned at the Southern most starting location, and started my normal build order : 9 drone, pool, and 2 sunkens, just in case. My scouting OL passed =HELLBRINGER='s base, but was far away enough that he didn't
see me. I did, however, was close enough to see the outline of his creep, so I knew where his starting location was. =HELLBRINGER= built his pool above his mineral line, made a hydralisk den, and two sunkens just in front. It was very quiet, and quiet for a long time.....
Course, I'm not an idiot. Zerg may be weak at expanding, but that didn't stop me from expanding as much as I dared. Initially thinking to expand to the East outpost, I changed my mind and expanded to my natural, throwing down two sunken colonies....still no attack. After that expansion was pumping money, I expanded to the East outpost as I wished to do earlier. Once the economy flowed from that, I tossed down a spire and a nest, then expanded to the SouthEast outpost.
This took quite some time, so obviously my friend was also expanding as well. Initially I scouted with a mutalisk, to find that the North outpost was empty....subsequent scouting with scourges found the following......
(note the tiny amount of mineral/gas I have.....disturbing
A second scouting with a scourge found about 12 or so hydralisks, which I was thinking that =HELLBRINGER= was stocking up on. Good! I had by this time mutated a GREATER Spire, and morphed in 12 guardians, with 12 mutas as backup......The outcome was worse than I could imagine....
(damn, remember I had 12 guards? major problems here....
I was still swimming with money coming in, so I redoubled my efforts in a mass-mutalisk attack. In five minutes, sixty mutalisks were at my disposal. Who could've guessed it would go so poor? All sixty feel to his incredible unit-handling-coupled-with-spore-colony-backup
annoyance....losing 6000/6000 that fast isn't very fun, and I didn't feel like continuing, so I resigned. He promptly destroyed every one of my bases, but did end up giving me vision
(we were evenly matched economy-wise)
Hey, so I didn't win. At least this time my battle report isn't
on a BGH map. Gimme some slack here=)
Also, I made this BR short and to the point, not like other people........
