PRE-GAME SHOW
Hello everybody ! Yes that is your favorite reporter once again :P. Ok as many of you might
already know, Me and 4aiur~WoOdz just started a very nice StarCraft site: SC Lords. Go see what the
site looks like at: http://www.sclords.cjb.net. To popularize
the site a bit, 4aiur~WoOds organized some cool 16 man 1v1 tourneys this week-end. What i'm offering
you now is the Battle report of the Final Games of the first tournament hosted by SC Lords. The finals
were all best of 3 games and our braves gladiators for this final match were DS-Testie and {88}Blaze.
KEKE ! Wait a minute! Before we get this going, and as i promise, Here are the famous quotes of the
months !
TOP 5, Quotes of the Month !
HAHA :). Good work this time again guys ;). I think this is thr first time OrcManiac dont make the
QOTM. Wassup orc ? Wake up keep us entertain !. Oh well, maybe for my next one :P.
MAIN EVENT
GAME #1
Okay, the first game of this best of 3 final was a Zerg vs Protoss on Lost Temple with DS-Testie as
Zerg. DS-Testie went for mutalisks while {88}Blaze was going for a fast canons cliff / reaver drop.
Althought {88}Blaze had some goons, he just couldn't survive to the mutalisks harrasement made by
DS-Testie. Game finished with a mutalisk/zerglings swarm crushing the Protoss base.
Ok, so thats take us to the game #2 of the tourney finals, where {88}Blaze is facing the elminitation.
Map, Players and Races
MAP: The Lost Temple
Early games moves and strategies
The game start out as a very ordinary Protoss versus Terran match up, with a Terran wallin and a teching/
expanding Protoss. The teching of {88}Blaze
is a very weird one. Even if {88}Blaze build his second gateway right after
his cybernetic core, {88}Blaze seem to want to make every buildings before
making a single unit. We can expect a Reaver/Dt drop coming for {88}Blaze.
 DS-Testie after his wallin seem
to expect drops and is going for a fast Science Vessel build order with only 1 factory. The first 3
Tanks to come out of the factory are patrolling his SCV line area.
DS-Testie
was right to expect drop because soon after his Science vessel pop out an incoming ennemy shuttle
approaching the Terran base. I presume reavers and darks templars are aboard the shuttle.
{88}Blaze seeing the tanks and science vessel decide to hold his drop and
save his troops for a future attack. Before that drop, {88}Blaze expanded
at the 12ocloack main with 2 canons protecting the ramp access. {88}Blaze
wont have a mining advantage for a very long time, because soon after a floating Command Center is coming
to DS-Testie natural expansion.
{88}Blaze is building a Dragoons/Zealots/Templars army from 2 gateway, with
a shuttle load with one reaver. DS-Testie is building Tanks/Vultures/marines
and a couple of sciences vessels from 2 factorys/2 barracks and 1 starport. Both players got one fully
fonctionnal expansion.
First battles
The first battle arrive when {88}Blaze realize that DS-Testie
is taking his natural expansion. He will try to cought DS-Testie pants down
while he is setting up his defense. {88}Blaze take 6 dragoons and his shuttle
to the assault. DS-Testie is very ready for this attack, he got 4 sieged tanks
1 science vessel and a small group of marines waiting there. {88}Blaze only
option is to drop the reaver in DS-Testie's siege tanks and hope will live
long enought to finish tanks fast.
Heh that havent work out pretty well :). DS-Testie micro been really good in that
last battle because he have been able to target the reaver with his marines while his tanks were hammering the
dragoons. The Reaver only been able to kill one tanks because of this nice defensive matrix.
Of course a counter attack is to be expected. After gattering more Tanks/Marines to his expansion,
DS-Testie take his turn on the offensive. About 7 tanks, 8-10 marines and 4 vultures
are leaving the base. On the Protoss side, {88}Blaze been able to regroup
8 dragoons, 5 zealots and 3 templars to oppose the terran assault team. Who do you think will win ? Put
ur mouse over the link to indicate ur choice.
GO Protoss!
GO Terran!
Only one templar escape from the EMP range. Those 2 storms were not enought succesful to stop the
terran army. With the help of freshly build troops, DS-Testie make is
way to the entrance of {88}Blaze valley. That way his tanks can do two
things. First is to kill the expansion that {88}Blaze just started
at his mineral only, and Second, Keep containing the Protoss forces using field advantage.
Map Control
 When DS-Testie finish
seting up his siege, he take 3 new expansions at his mineral-only, on bottom island and at the 9ocloack main. Now DS-Testie
got 4 expansion while {88}Blaze is back down to only one. {88}Blaze
try to correct that by taking the mineral-only expansion of the 12ocloack spot.
Unfortunatly for {88}Blaze, with this siege, DS-Testie
is able to attack with a small ammount of troops without being in trouble, the main protoss force being contained.
For those who looked carefully that mini-map on this picture, 2 things are happening here. First
of all, DS-Testie is taking another expansion at the 9ocloack natural. 2nd,
{88}Blaze dropped 4 zealots on the unprotected bottom island and
DS-Testie just didn't care and floated away.
Options are running
away for {88}Blaze so he figured his only chance of success was to go carriers.
Of course with only 1 mining source you just can't do alot of carriers so he he goes with only one
stargate at 12. DS-Testie just keep building tanks/goliaths from his
5 factorys.
Let's fight !
Sieging never killed any base and DS-Testie decide that its the time to for
some more offensive moves. After EMPing some templars (I say some because you can never EMP them all, gay
ass EMP range suck big time ... let's hope 1.08 will fix it), DS-Testie
unsiege his stuff and move foward into the valley.
Yah the first wave of troops finally been hold by {88}Blaze with some great
use of psionic storms. But it will only delay the inevitable. About 2 minutes after, a second wave is
coming for those two last {88}Blaze bases.
DS-Testie win the finals 2-0.
