^_^Korean[task] vs. Drunk[task]

1 Thing - THIS REPORT IS HELLA IMAGE
HEAVY! If you have a 56k or slower modem I suggest you go take a nap and come back in a
few hours. If you're lucky it'll be done by then :)) hehe.
O yeah, get this sweet font (If you don't have it) that I use throughout the whole
report (no its not the 1 right below) here.
I am proud to bring
you the battle of: " ^_^Korean[Task] " Vs " Drunk[task] ".
The map, of course, was Lost Temple. The players decided they wanted to fine-tune their
skills and wanted to practice playing a Protoss Vs. Zerg game: (fade out...)
(fade in; the game)

Korean: Protoss,
Yellow, left start.
(he is blue for this game, since you
cant SEE yellow)
Drunk: Zerg, Brown,
Bottom start.
The two
players start at the left start point, and the bottom start point. This is normal for some
reason whenever you play temple you tend to be next to each other... Kind of like how
"Random" actually means "same race 3 times in a row." Well, that's
Starcraft. Now, on with the game. Korean begins the game with
a standard 2 gate build going pylon, gate, gate, pylon. Drunk
also has a very standard Zerg build going hatch at natural, spawning pool, then a hatchery
at his ramp. This is a little risky, but would pay off big if he could get it off...

Korean
now proceeds to get a forge, gas, and a cyber core while constantly making zealots and
probes while Drunk gets 2 gas (1 at main 1 at natural) and
pumps lings and drones while morphing a lair. Korean finds
that Drunk has expanded and since he believes in "an eye
for an eye" expands to his own natural while warping in a citadel, TWO more gateways
and then a templar archives. Drunk then
gets a spire and dual evolutionary chambers. Muta/ling combo anyone? Korean now has mass goons and a few templar
as well to compliment his forces.


Little Muta raiding going on here...Nothing too big... YET

The
first real attack comes by Drunk, as you can see in the above
pictures and in my nice little caption. Notice how mass zerglings and mutas tear through
zealots? Well, they do :). Being the super player he is, Korean
manages to stop the attack, though and then proceeds to attack Drunk
at home, lets take a look:

I sure hope he learns
soon... ^_^. While these attacks were going on neither player was idle and had already
mobilized another force to attack with, and had expanded. The 3 o clock natural, and main
bases were taken along with Korean taking the 12 o clock mineral only expansion. He didn't
like all the expanding that Drunk was doing, so lets see what he does about it:
for shame! Killing
an exp. from behind with cannons IN PLAIN SIGHT? Ewww....
Korean
has just attempted to take down 2 of Drunk's new EXPs and has
failed to take down either. At this point it begins to look bad for Korean
because the moment after he attacks Drunk, Drunk
reacts by taking down Korean's 12 o clock mineral only expansion and his not-finished 12 main. He
sends forces but goons don't do too well against zerglings and mutas, just like zealots!
Here is a peak at the carnage:

After killing Korean's Drunk
starts to mass his forces near the
middle, in addition Korean now has control of is mineral only expansion
site. After retreating his forces back (which was just in time) Drunk breaks out the guardians. Being the "gosu" player that he is, Korean busts out the storm!:

Now, after all this has
happened, here's a small mini-map to feast your eyes on, maybe this will help to clear up
any confusion you may have about the game so far. Please look it over and weigh the 2
sides while we go to Break.:

*Commercial Transmission*
<Mom> So son, what have you learned in UED training this week?
<Son> Well Mom, we learned about such things as how to dissect a dead Zerg,
where its weaknesses are, and how if you ever see a Protoss Templar you must duck and
cover. We even did a drill!
<Voice over> UED training ; Enlist your children today, they might just grow
up to become the suicidal marine soldiers of tomorrow! Today with medics on the field
marine life expectancy is at a whopping 2+ seconds!
<Mom and Son> I like those odds! (*laughing*)
*End Break*
Ok, that was a nice
break. Got some coffee, took a sh-- oops, never mind, back to the battle!!
After all this Drunk is still not done dishing out the pain, take a look at what this *dead*
photographer caught from this epic battle:

Now that is A LOT of
blood! Well, I guess Korean did take my
advice and decided that Archons > Lings/Muta. Believe it or not, Korean manages to keep his Mineral only
expansion after all these vicious assaults on him. The only bad part is, if you looked at
the mini-map above it seems that Korean is now backed into a corner with only 1 real useful expansion left seeing
as how he had almost mined out his natural. Oh yes it looked like trouble for dear ol' Korean. After all this he still tries to
retake the 12 o clock main and the 12 o clock mineral only expansions. On top of all this
he manages to attack the recourses-hogging Drunk:

I am sure you can tell by
the " :( " face that Korean just could not take out
that expansion. If he had like 3 corsairs he would have owned it. Well, even though poor Korean isn't getting very far, he did manage to stop ANOTHER
expansion attempt by Drunk here:

So, lets recap the
situation for both sides:
| Korean |
He has his
mineral only, his natural is almost mined out. He also has control of the 12 o clock
mineral only and main expansions. He stopped the expansion attempt by Drunk at his mineral
only and has made numerous attempts at killing the right side expansions but without
prevail. O yes, he owns baltic avenue and um... reading railroad. |
| Drunk |
He has the whole
right side of the map besides the mineral only on 3 o clock and the island. He has been
able to stop all attacks made on him be Korean and is basically just sitting around
massing and raking in the Minerals. He owns Pacific railroad and Park Place. |
Now once again, it is
time for Drunk to attack! (You can look at this one too!)

You should notice the
fact that Korean now has many zealots and corsairs with few
other units present. He has also done a good job at "blocking" his cannons with
the pylons as well as having goons hide behind them. This was an easily stopped attack by Korean VS. all lings. Maybe Drunk was
just freeing up some supply?! This is by far the most back and forth attacking game I have
ever seen. Here is yet another example! Korean now turns the
tables and goes and attacks Drunk. It
may only be a Guardian harassment raid, but I mean how much can Korean hope for this late
with no map control at all?

Well, after that major
attack on Drunk's character, he decides its about time to end
this. On the other hand, Korean thinks its about time to make
a nexus at the 12 o clock natural! This last HUGE battle required 2-5 waves of Drunk's troops in order to completely decimate Korean's defenses. So, without further ado here is the FINAL
battle:

Of course, after this
being the annoying person that he is ; Korean decides he needs to keep "trying"
he starts making buildings at his 12 o clock expansions, etc. but none of it does any good
since they are all destroyed. I have decided to leave all of this junk out like where his
main is just being raped and he can't do anything (because I don't feel like compiling
anymore PICS!) Unfortunately for me Korean does do 1 last attack on Drunk, take a look:

The Last Mini-Map:

Well, that's it. Thanks a
lot for reading, I hope you took as much time in reading it as I did typing/compiling it.
Actually to be honest, that's not possible. I am BEAT. I am still very happy I got to
watch a game of this caliber and I hope to see one again so I can make more pics that
illustrate how *wonderful* I am at Photo Shop 6!
