"Be like JV, and randomly misplace units all across the map. When your main is burning to the ground look around for anything you might have missed like those 5 science vessels you rallied to the other side of the map."

After have being inactive for a couple of hours, I came back to my computer and saw Doom- and -ManiacMarine- about to 1v1.. I went into the game, asked them if Icould watch. They said yes, of course, but -ManiacMarine- started game too fast so I ended up with Random instead of Terran :O ! I had to destroy my nexus and make a pylon because of that.. grr..

Doom- versus -ManiacMarine-

Players: Doom- (Zerg), -ManiacMarine- (Zerg)
Starting Positions: Doom- at 12', -ManiacMarine- at 9'
Map: The Lost Temple (Lost??)
Game: StarCraft: Brood War
Gametype: Melee
Observers: Random_Doom

The game started with both players using a similar Build Order. Doom- went for a Hatchery at his natural and a hatchery at his choke, then a Spawning Pool followed by an Extractor. -ManiacMarine- went for Hatchery at natural, followed by a Spawning Pool and Extractor. -ManiacMarine- build 4 sunken colonies at his natural, and hatches 6 Zerglings, while Doom- was going straight Zerglings. -ManiacMarine- went for a Hydralisk Den at his natural, and Doom- upgraded his main hatchery to a Lair, obviously going for quick mutas. After a few minutes -ManiacMarine- decides to expand to 6', while Doom- finished his Spire.

Few minutes later, Doom- sends his first 6 mutas to hunt some drones,
going to 6' then moving to 9'. While he was at 6' he found
-ManiacMarine-'s expansion, but went straight for the drones.
After killing a few drones, Doom-'s mutas were forced to retreat
due to a Spore Colony and a few hydras.
Then, Doom- sent his zergling force to the 6' expansion,
defended by only 1 Sunken and 1 Spore.
He did quick work of it, of course :).

Bad Manners :(

After his raid on the 6' expansion, Doom- expanded to 3', but at this time -ManiacMarine- had a spire mutating. By the time Doom-'s 3' Hatchery finished, -ManiacMarine- attacked with 6 freshly hatched Mutalisks to hunt Doom-'s drones at his Main. Fortunately, Doom- had enough Mutalisks to fend off the attack without any casualties. Let's compare the 2 armies now...

Minimap
Yup, you can see Marine is in disavantage :)

While Doom- is putting his army together in the middle of the map, -ManiacMarine- is just starting to build his'! Doom-'s attack force is composed of Muta/Lings while -ManiacMarine-'s defence is composed of Hydra/Muta/Lings, and.. a Lurker =). A very well placed Lurker, actually, since that one Lurker raped 40+ lings!
Beware the Rapist Lurker!

-ManiacMarine- is getting his troops ready, while Doom- morphed his Mutalisks into Guardians and Devourers. The end is near. By now, Doom- has bases at 12', 12' natural, 3', 3' natural, 6' natural, and at Top-Left Corner, while -ManiacMarine- only has his 9' and 9' natural.

Doom- finally got bored, and attacked -ManiacMarine- with his Guardians to kill the Sunkens, then sent the Zerglings in. Unfortunately, the Zerglings got totally raped by the Lurker :(! So now, -ManiacMarine- has lost his 3' expansion and is almost out of minerals, and has an army that isn't strong enough to defeat Doom-. His 12+ hydras got crushed easily by the Guardians, while the Devourers made quick work of the packed up mutas. In a futile attempt to save himself, -ManiacMarine- sent all his drones build hatcheries at the 6' main, and all of those base didnt not last very long... it's over!

As always, GG's are exchanged, and -ManiacMarine- quits.

Scores:
Total Time: 24:48


Lessons Learned:
- Devourers are good against packed up Mutalisks.
- I suck at BattleReporting.
- To all Zerglings: Watch out for Lurkers, for God's sake!
- I'm a newbie :[
