Lifetime Rating for Lord Venom: 5.0000 |  | Good day, everyone. I am posting this report to MOCK Dr_Scribble, due to the fact that I think his Fact or Fiction reports are too obvious and [censored] [censored]. Anyway ... You all know how it works, guess which one is real and which one is fake. No pictures, though, unfortunately.

Lost Temple
mAsSmAiLeR (Protoss) 3:00
bernswitz (Which is me) Zerg, 9:00
I have played mAsSmAiLeR many times before, and from my past experience he sucks. Thus he challenged me to a game where he gets to pick BOTH of our races to see if he can still win ... Anyways ... He starts out building I don't know what, I do my regular strategy which is building up to 9 control, then pool+extractor+hatchery (Extractor, then pool, then hatchery). I then do a bunch of assorted things that vary with each game; on this particular game it was mass lings and muties. After starting my first expansion to my Natural, mAsSmAiLeR came attacking my base with 2 archons (OH MY!). He was able to destroy my defensive forces becuase as you all know, hopefully, that archons are superior to zerglings and mutalisks. What was somewhat dumb was that he proceeded to raze the hatchery, which gave me time to hatch 9 hydralisks at home (I had built a 3rd hatchery as well). Those were able to eliminate his archons because I had separated them so that they would not be hurt by archon splash damage.
mAsSmAiLeR's archons were both destroyed. Now, knowing how much he sucks I then built a force of 12 mutalisks to harass his probes. he unfortunately, was building cannons like there was no tomorrow. He also had some corsairs to repulse Guardy attacks. Then I thought up of a brilliant idea: 12 Ultralisks! Being the shitty player he is his cannons easily fell to the ultralisks (I had them upgraded of course to 5/3). After razing his first base he said, "hahah!" after which I proceeded to search the map with scourge, discovering a base at the 12:00 start location. Unfortunately for him his makeshift defenses were no match for my 12 mutalisks plus my 4 or so ultralisks that i had left. If you're wondering why I was able to tech that high was because he never executed any other attacks. Well, actually he did one time with 6 DT's but my ultralisks easily dispatched them.

Map: Lost Temple
mAsSmAiLeR (Terran) 12:00
bernswitz (Zerg) 6:00 (He was actually white but purple is easier to read.)
Both of us players had chosen our races with me picking zerg because He wanted me to (read the beginning of the first one). I did a different strategy this time, building a Spawning Pool and Hydralisk Den in quick succession, then getting a lair (my plan was mass lurkers this time.) I skipped the second hatchery until much later, which proved distrastrous because I had accumulated a lot of resources. I researched all the hydralisk upgrades while getting a lair, and got burrow and all the overlord upgrades. It was then that I scouted his base with a lurker, and it turns out he was building 12 tanks. Well, I was unable to burrow my lurker in time to attack when the tanks' regular attacks killed it.
He had NO missile turrets, just a ComSat station. Hmmmmmm....... I thought. I'll need some Zerglings for this.
At this time he attacked my base with the tanks. Oh great, this is just what I need. I quickly burrowed my lurkers and used my zerglings to send him into a state of worry. He decided to sacrifice some lings to neutralize the threat. Unfortunately by that time I had my lurkers safely burrowed and killed all of his tanks while only losing 2 lurkers. I decided to test his defense by moving ALL of my standing troops to his base. Sure enough his defenses were insufficient and I eliminated him. He again did his evil laugh of "hahah!" and I thought, hmmmmmmm....... not again!
using OL's this time I saw his base at the islands. ARGH!!!!! it was turretted! Now I had to prepare for a long game with Guardians. I built Scourge out of the way of the turrets but still surrounding the islands to disallow outside transportation. After *finally* accumulating 6 guardians (during which he had tried to break out twice) I razed the turrets and unloaded my deadly cargo of hydras and lurkers there. This time he's gone for reals. Game over, and I win yet again! HAHAH! |
