^_^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

1-pic3.gif (133720 bytes)

    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:

1-43-45.gif (58838 bytes)

    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:

1-pic6.gif (38106 bytes) for shame! Killing an exp. from behind with cannons IN PLAIN SIGHT? Ewww....

1-52-56.gif (66327 bytes)

    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:

1-pic5.gif (134217 bytes)

    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:

1-pic8.gif (256007 bytes)

    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:

1-pic10.gif (104595 bytes)

    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:

1-pic11.gif (20704 bytes)

    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!)

1-pic12.gif (59201 bytes)

    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?

1pic13.gif (107587 bytes)

    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:

1-pic15.gif (227582 bytes)

    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:

1-pic16.gif (165212 bytes)

The Last Mini-Map:

1-pic17.gif (27321 bytes)

    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!
