[BB]BBoy + [BB]Zense
VS
[sc]Ugly + {Os}Gismo
I was on the Battle.net at 02.45 in the morning chating and playing with my friends Zense and BBoy whan I thought: "How about if I make and battlereport ...". I did go ahead and asked what they thought about is and the answer was:

"Sure why not give it a try..." (In swedish, because well ... we are swedish :) All there was left to do was to find some foes for a 2vs2 game. We started a game and after a while two people joined up and off we went...

Starting Sequence
The map which were chosen was The Hunters, an really famous scum which have been remade countless of times (Blue..., White..., $$$Money$$$... and so on...). Starting positions as followed:

{Os}Gismo playing as Terran @ 11:00Starting positions

[sc]Ugly playing as Protoss @ 09:00

VS

[BB]Zense playing as Zerg @ 12:00

[BB]BBoy playing as Terran @ 01:00

Me (Meph) is observer @ 07:00

The Fighting begins ...
All the workers are trying to harvest as much mineral as possible, it큦 almost as they never done anything else in there entire life. Team GU starts with a pretty normal build with Pylon/Gateway for {Os}Gismo and Supply Depot/Barrack for [sc]Ugly. Team [BB] BBoy starting with a Supply Depot/Barrack and Zense Hatchery

SPOTTED [BB]Zense finds {Os}Gismo

/Spawing Pool, but he places the Hatchery at "The Choke" (from here on named like this) trying to isolate {Os}Gismo with Sunkens. At this moment [sc]Ugly thinks that Team [BB] have been left alone to long and he sends his first Zealot to [BB]Zense...

Only to see a Hatchery, Creep Colony and a morphing Sunken. The Zealots throws a couple of blows at the Sunken putting it down to 341(!) HP and then going to get support from {Os}Gismo. With help from 8 marines he goes out again to wipe The Choke free from the infestation from the zerg...

Team GU fails in there attemt to free The Choke. [sc]Ugly sends some more Zealots but they dont archive much due to the twin Sunken and masses of Zerglings that are gattering in The Choke. Also [BB]BBoy transfere a great deal of his Marines to The Choke. The are trying to...

Assault
A huge amount of Zerglings and Marine/Medic make an assault against {Os}Gismo.[sc]Ugly has not been idle and have taken an expansion at 07:00(That큦 my place Grr...) but when the sound of battle begins he immediatly send his squad of 9 Zealots to help his friend (His 2v2 partner anyway...). A great battle are taking place between Team [BB] Zergling/Marine/Firebat/medics Combo versus {Os}Gismo Marine/SCV Combo.
The first of his defences fall apart and he pulls out his SCV:s to stop the incoming foes.The Zerglings died due to the massive fire from {Os}Gismo큦 Marines but [BB]BBoy큦 Marine/Firebat/Medic Combo makes it out better and destroys an Factory, 2 Barracks, Many Marines and SCV and a number of Supply depots before the also bites the dust... (Remember the Title of an Song anyone?). In the meantime [sc]Ugly큦 Zealots has attacked The Choke with a quite disappointing result: The Choke is still standing, due to the fact that the reinforces from [BB]Zense gets there in time. The assault is repelled in a costly manner. Troops are gattering once again at The Choke. Soon a second wave of attackers stream into {Os}Gismo큦 basecamp and he is forced to lift off. Du to the loss of his Command Center he leaves the game with a "GG". Team [BB] now has one more to go to secure victory. Will [sc]Ugly큦 forces be enought to stop the coming army..."Time will tell, Time will tell..."
The Beginning of the End..?
[sc]Ugly now is left alone against a superior arme of Team [BB]. [sc]Ugly have six Gateways, but due to the fact that it hardly can match 4 Barracks, 2 Factorys and 4 Hatcherys, he큦 army is slowly squisched. [BB]Zense send out scouting Zerglings and detects [sc]Ugly큦 expansion at 07:00. [BB]Zense send 24 Zerglings to deal with the problem and short after the Terran/Zerg army rolls throught [sc]Ugly큦 Protoss encampment. [sc]Ugly leaves the game without a "GG".
Conclusion
1: "Tech" is a good thing. Instead of trying to overwhelm the enemy with Zealots, [sc]Ugly could have "teched" for Darktemplars or a Reaver. Even a simple thing as a shuttle could have saved his friend by droping zealots to help him out.

2: Scouting is good. What if [sc]Ugly큦 Zealots would have entered [BB]BBoy큦 base he could have done much more damage due to the fact that [BB]BBoy had a very little amount of marines in his base. Scouting early at 12:00 from {Os}Gismo큦 side would have spotted the expansion and by sending a couple of SCV:s to The Choke he could have forced [BB]Zense to put his Hatchery at another location.

3: To [sc]Ugly: To accuse someone of Maphacking without any kind of proof is avery stupid thing to do. Yelling "MAPHACKERS MAPHACKERS" because [BB]Zense spotted your expansion, is just stupid and destroys the spirit of the game. To proof that [BB]Zense really scouted the spots I큞l post this picture:

The rings is around the scouting Zerglings from [BB]Zense.

PS. The title of the the song I was looking for is Queen큦 "Another one bites the dust" DS.
