Before we start with the actual battle report
 
  Before we start with the actual battle report, I mush warn you, this page has approximately 2 megabytes worth of pictures, so people with slow modem, please be patient or go out and grab a cable modem.  Ok, now a little background about the players.  [nE]hadouken, one of the many great players in [nE].  He is especially known for his team work in 2v2's along with [nE]4world.  [nE]OnE, recruited by [nE]hadouken so bug him about [nE]OnEs background =).  Now, without furthure ado, the Battle Report!!  

The battle takes place on the famous ladder map; Rivalry.  Both players chose random. 
[nE]hadouken ended up with bottom left Zerg and [nE]OnE controls Protoss at top left.
 
 
  [nE]OnE starts with a typical Protoss build.  Pylon on 8, 2 WarpGate after and sets his Probe out to scout.  Being the gay self that [nE]OnE is, he brings in his comedy act by announcing to everyone that he was Zerg and would 27th pool (for all you newbies, 27th pool is you build a Spawn Pool with your 27th drone.  Execute with EXETREME CAUTION!  Only someone like [nE]OnE can  execute this strategy to it's full power).  Finally, after scouting Top Right, and Bottom Right, did the Probe finally reach [nE]hadouken's base...  and what a sight it saw.  It was so freaky that it convinced a Probe back at his base to order in a Protoss Assimilator.  
 
  Probe: "Heck, already made it this far, might as well go in and check out the rest.
*
Probe cruises on up the ramp*
Zergling: "Halt, who goes there?"

Back at the Protoss camp site.
Probe01: "He was the best of us all"
Probe02: "Who?"
Probe01: "I dunno..."
Zealot: "Hey!  No socializing! Get back to work!"
 
 
 
  Now, what was so terrorizing about [nE]hadoukens base except that he was ZERG!!  Protoss's worst enemy, and to make matters worse, [nE]hadouken already has a completed hatch at his natural expansion plus a third on it's way.  Zerglings are being consistently produce from the hatcheries until [nE]hadouken was confident that he made a significant amount to take on any attack [nE]OnE would try.  

[nE]hadouken starts phase two of his "Project Dooms Day".  Pure Drone from all 3 hatches.  Still, feeling a little shaky with maneuver, he puts down a few Sunken Colonies to spice his defense up a notch.  Time went on by but [nE]OnE did not show.  Surely we all knew he was up to something... but what?
 
         
Wow!  What could this mean?  Dark Templars?  Zealot Leg speed?  Or the obvious since it is [nE]OnE after all.  Dark Archons!!  Remember that little passage he said up there?  "I'm gonna 27 pool your ass so bring it"  He's gonna mind control a Drone!!
  Now, on to phase 3 of Project Dooms Day.  [nE]hadouken has finally amassed enough Drones.  He beings creating a Hydralisk Den but there is still more of Project Dooms Day than what you see right now.    
 
         
  Here, is where I think what caused [nE]OnE the game.  He makes an Archives and a Forge, which is pretty normal up until this minute.  HE WARPS IN 1 CANNON AT EACH OF HIS BRIDGE!  What i think he should of done if he wished to cannon, was place it near natural more, so when 1 cannon is under attack, the other 2 won't just stand there and look pretty.  In the picture to your right, you see [nE]hadouken testing to see what units [nE]OnE has made and how well he build his base defense.      
       
      After successfully killing that lone cannon, [nE]hadouken is confident to expand; seeing that [nE]OnE has only a few Zealots and the rest of his money are being spend on Cannons.  

On the other hand.  [nE]OnE confident with his defense build up also expands trying to match [nE]hadoukens advanced economy.

[nE]hadouken hits again with Hydras this time.   This time [nE]OnE was prepared and brought Templars to the expansion.  It had enough manna to cast only 1 storm, and so it did, taking down "a" Hydra.  While the rest where kill by Zealots.
       
 
  If the below picture isn't self explanatory enough, here is a quick run through.

[nE]hadouken finally started to tech, he build 2 Lairs and researched drop and speed.  Oh his way to sneak in from the side of [nE]OnE's base, he discovered an expansion attempt.  Trying to kill it before reinforcement can arrive.  But none came...  and so, the Zerg hoard rampage through the Protoss expansion.  They load back up into the Overlords but dare not to drop in [nE]OnE's main since he is already expecting such a move, so they are all dropped at the Top Middle Expansion acting as recon.
 
 
 
     
After killing Top Right, [nE]hadouken beings another expansion at Mid Right and also Morphs his Lair at home into a Hive, hoping cracklings would take the Protoss of guard or use them to go hunt down miss placed Templars.  

At this time, things are looking really bad for [nE]OnE.  4 bases to his almost depleted 2 bases.  Will [nE]OnE pull it through? Keep reading!

 
 
  A passing Probe sees the Hydra camp at Top Mid.  Thinking that this map be an attack [nE]OnE quickly dispatches his troops to go confront it.  [nE]hadouken could care less, and left the Hydras to the comp AI, so with a few PSI Storms, the threat was easily neutralized.  [nE]OnE was left with some breathing room, but it was still 4 bases to 2, and resources for [nE]OnE was becoming tighter and tighter.  
 
 
  After achieving Cracklings (Newbies Note: Cracklings are Zerglings with speed and attack upgrade from the Spawning Pool) [nE]hadouken set out a dozen to test [nE]OnE's main defense.  Well, as you can see, there wasn't much, because the army was still at Top Mid.  The Zerlings kill ALL the Probes before reinforcements can arrive but when they do, Hydras are there too.  [nE]OnE losses all his Templars before he can get a single storm off and down falls his only expansion, and main.
