Lifetime Rating for Darkrogue: 5.0000 |  | Lings, no other word in the SC/BW dictionary brings more disgust, more disgrace, more insentive to kill, swear, and scream than this, and that is exactly why I have grown to becomse a pure hater of the Zerg race and all that they stand for.
This is a story of a confrontation of me verses a zerg player in an epic battle in which I would rather kill myself than lose this game, a battle in which my loss, would surely bring about terrible shame and disgust, a battle that was a game of ling attacks, not any normal linging attacks, this was a game of total and non stop ling onslaughts.
I RS~Darkrogue controlled the protoss force while my counterpart ^vD^Od][n controlled zerg. It was a game on the all too great Close Encounters in which I controlled the starting spot in the upper left corner while od][n had staked his territory in the lower bottom right corner. I scouted early in the game and found od][n building all hatcheries, and I thought to myself one thing, my one true horror had come to life, a pure linging was inevitable (Now for those of you poor, poor soles who play BGH all the time, you will never know this feeling, a pure ling onslaught on this map is a hard thing to come by, since the minerals are so limited that you cannot possible get a sufficient Air Force up and running in time to stop the lings from destorying your' base.) SO I do the only truly concievable thing possible, I go heavy zealots and hoped to be able to tech up to reavers and temps in time. Boy was that a flaw in my plan.
But in a quick attempt and highly poorly thought through tactic, I procede to cannon off a small choke point with a small contigent of Lots there to fend off a minor ling attack. This was one of the major and costly maneuvers I attempted, what I forgot to incorporate into my thinking was that allthough this type of defense will work highly effective against a protoss or terran attack with no tech up, the zerg are another story, with the ability to create massive troops so quickly and easily, this defense could be, and was so easily taken out after a few waves of lings that I did not slow down his main attack for too long. I thought to myself after seeing this non-tactical but highly effective style of playing that I was in for the ride of my life. WIth my heart surely pounding and this game surely slipping out of my hands, I do the only concievalbe thing at the time, I expanded, knowing he was going soully lings, I held the upper hand, but it was a dangerous one at that. I expanded to non gound accessible cliff expansions and an island expansion, while od][n himself had 4 ground based exp's going in full force by this time. Soon after my expansions my stoic defenders of the main base were over run by the lings, and od][n thought the game over and so did I, I thought about just quitting, but then I realized I had the upper hand, I was up above main ground, and he had no way of getting there with tech to transport.
That was his mistake, he continued to scout around the ground based exps, not thinking I had gone up and island. I went straing air, and after a while had a full contigent of 12 corsairs, 12 carriers and a few arbiters for passaz, by the time he had found my first cliffed expansion, which was merely right above his base on the cliffs bordering it, he thought he had me. He quickly got mutas and morphed to guards and devs, but it was all in vain. The mighty Protoss fleet was warped in by a near by Arbiter and I quickly despensed of this force. I went from base to base, clearing out his hatcheries and greatfully taking down those bastards of sc, those lings. The game was mine, I had stricken a blow for the side of ling haters alike, and that is they end of the game, and the end of a linging fool.
