CidTheZealot
Vs
TonotochiCo
The Beginning
I was sitting in my home away from home, channel NoHunters when I heard CidTheZealot and TontochiCo talking about a one on one, I asked Cid if I could Battle Report it and he invited me without hesitation!
War!
The chosen map of the game was the map Lost Temple, a rather comon map in channel NoHunters. CidTheZealot chose randomed to Zerg at the 12:00 posistion, while at the same time, TonotochiCo also chose random, and ended up as Protoss at the 3:00 posistion. The game had begun, CidTheZealot quickly ditributed his drones to the several minerals, and also sent his overlord to the starting spots on the map. And at the same time, drone/Probe. Once TontochiCo had 100 minerals, he quickly warped a Pylon at the entrance of his base. Then he used that same probe to warp in a GateWay after the pylon was done. At the same time that the probe warped in a gateway, CidTheZealot started to morph a Extractor, and a hatchery at the bottom of his ramp.
Both players were exploring, CidTheZealot was using his overlord to search, and TontochiCo was using a probe to search the battlefield. After little searching the Probe and the Overlord found eachother's base. The Probe was intercepted by acouple zearglings, but still got a good view of the Zerg Hive Cluster. In an attempt to disrupt CidTheZealot's productivity, TontochiCo dispatched two Zealots to cause chaos in the Zerg hive cluster. When the 2 Zealots arived at the morphing hatchery, they encounterd acouple zerglings.
Using some pretty good microing skills, CidTheZealot managed to kill the incomming trespassers. Undisturbed about the loss, TontochiCo constucted a Cybernetics Core and a Assimilator, so that he may mine the near by vespene gyser. At the same time, CidTheZealot expanded to a nearby mineral cove. Both players dident have main defences (cannons/sunkens) they both used units as defence, "The best defence is an offence" fits well in this situation. The calm has come, as both players spend time "teching". TontochiCo creats another pylon, followed by 2 Robotics Facilitys! Obviously preparing a reaver drop.
In the same time, CidTheZealot morphs another hatchery, and forms a formidabe army.
As the calm passes it is dirupted by a Reaver drop to CidTheZealots main base
Unfortunantly for TontochiCo, the zerg base is heavily defended by Hydras and sunkens. TontochiCo's attack had failed but it took alot of CidTheZealot's drones, and Hydras with it. In short of money, CidTheZealot expands to the 9:00 expansion spot, and TontochiCo does also, he expands to the 6:00 position. TontochiCo doesent use a "maynard transfer" but starts to produce probes frequantly, so that he can optimize his new expansion. By now, TontochiCo has made a nice defence, composed of Dragoons, Dark Templar, High-Templars, and a few Zealots. CidTheZealot has learned from past games, and he sets up a patrol to seek and destroy any expansions and units that may cross its path. Soon enough, a lonly Hydra is killed by TontochiCo 6:00 expansion. CidTheZealot quickly sends his minions to exterminate the Protoss expansion.
TontochiCo is now at a loss for money, so he expands to a near-by gaurded mineral field. But it isent in time, as CidTheZealot exploits this mineral weekness, CidTheZealot quickly gathers all his minions into the center of the map, His army includes about 50 hydras, and about 3 overlords, cause he knows that TontochiCo is going to have Dark Templars. As CidTheZealot gives the command to attack, the Hydras are pelted with Psi storm! The High-Templars have unleashed thei Psionic abilities and have crushed a good deal of CidTheZealot's attacking force. But with mass on his side, he sends reinforcements! Only to be held in Mealstrom from a far away Dark-Archon. They combination of Mealstrom and Storm devistate the attacking force.
But the mass overwhelms the defences and all of TontochiCo units are destroyed in a heroic battle. The Protoss defences have fallen and the Zerg Minions start to flow into the Protoss encampment. TontochiCo admits defeat, and CidTheZealot respects his surrender. Both players admit that it was a Great Game, and this is what proves the, "Zerg Vs Protoss is Imbalenced"-CidTheZealot |
