Welcome to my second battlereport, After my first one didn't do so well I thought I'd concentrait more on the text this time and then ad in some pics to do with the game after the battlereport is done. The reason im nameing it me vs random bneter instead of me vs (someone's name) is becuse I forgot this someone's name, So when I use his name i will just use random bneter=] ok... On to the report.

The setting for this battle report is as follows, Me random zerg 12 o'clock and my random bnet freind random terren at 12 o'clock. The map : challenger.

Everything was once again going good, good lag, good map, but then again I know I am playing this time and i'll find someway to screw everything up. I always do. I quickly start off with shift clicking my drones to diffrent mineral patches. and sending my first overloard down to the bottom of the map. Now as I was saying about screwing everything up, Here's where I screwed up this game. I made my exstractor on 9 putting me down to 8 suply and then made a overloard followed up with another drone, When the exstractor was done 3 of my drones went there and I was in a drone shortage; still needing A pool and A layer + a second hatchery I almost clicked the F10 button and quit right now, but I descide to stay instead, here is my b/o again.

9 exstractor
8 overloard
9 drone, 3 on gas
spawning pool
Creep Coloney
Layer
second hatchery


I made 6 hydralisks and started with some more scouting now, my overloard now down near the random bneter's base saw a suply depot and pulled out. My 2nd overloard is now being shot at??? Yes, i placed it over the River to check and make sure I knew when a rush was comming but, wrong river, It was not yet down near his base and It was getting shot at at the tip of my base. Right about now my hydra den is Done and I have lurkers 1/2 way done, I have tons of gas from my freaky build order so I had also reserched speeded zergling. But zerglings werent going to do me much luck in this war, my oponent is a fan of firebats as well. Yes, It seems the end is near, he has gone around my one sunken (like that was going to do much good anyways? And is now heading around the side of my base whereas he can shoot down my layer without any interferance. Now im thinking I should have just gone with double hatchery build order and gotten all hydras and a few lurks wich would of held off this attack very easy, Then it occurs to me, I can hold off this attack very easy, I had hid 6 hydralisks in my base, remember? Well I had started morphing them into lurks A while ago when the reserch was done and I just now remembered them, Payback's are rouph eh?



Yes, My little freinds came to the rescue, I call them mini-rippers. moveing in and burrowing in stealth they ripped the guts out of the enemy line without warning or patience; and there was silence. That is exsept for the creep squishing, god I hate that noise, \ Neways, back to the report. As I was saying the mini-rippers came to my rescue and basicly tor the enemy line apart. What am I supposed to do now? Choice one I could stay in my base like the idiot I am and wait to die.... Sounds good to me. But im in the mood to show this panzy ass whose boss. Choice two Now, as I was saying about showing him who's boss, I could counter attack; wich one do you think I did?
Wich choice do you think I made?

Well, after the rest of his troops blood sank into the ground I unburrowed the lurks and sent them on a mission to my random bneters main base. To my suprise when I got there, I had not realised how much my freaky build order had messed me up in the long run, the random Bneter Already had Tanks, and omg why does he have 2 bunks? well, to clear that up, I think he was exspecting a drop on his minerals and he already had one bunker around his CC he had to ad another one behind his minerals just incase of a drop. riiiiiiiiiiiight, im just a newbie bashing ho. Neways here's what happends when I get to his base.





















As you can see, He only had one bunker and good things can't last forever. Infact, they almost never doo. After my troops died (wich beleave me didnt take them very long.) I looked back at my base, and damn! I had forgoten to make troops the whole time I was attacking!!! I had over 1200 mins and of cuarse tons of gas (this build sucks but I have TONS of gas). I start on A spire and make A 3rd hatchery, I should have exspanded but since I killed all of his SCV's I thought I would just run him over in a few minets. About now I was comming up with my master plan, I made 16 Hydralisks and a ton of zerglings. Then stoped all production for my Mutalisks to have enouph minerals and larvea. After a minet I morphed a but-load of mutas and sent 1 zergling down to anticipate A second attack. Here's what my "ambush" Would look like. His troops would come up through the center (only place they can come up) and I would have 8 hydras attack them from each side, and mutas/speed lings come up and hit him straight on. But instead of waiting to do (remember my choices above?) i descide to show him whose boss, but first I send down 2 zerglings to his base to scout it out, well, we can see he's moveing his troops forward in this image...So I descide not to wait and send my troops down to meet him. About half way there We start getting into it, I come out victorios though do to me haveing more troops, and More of a mixture of diffrent troops, In the image below basicly sums up the rest of the game. My troops whent in and faught, They all died exsept A few mutas wich I made into guardians in his base. I guess the reason I could morph them in his base was becuse of the fact that He only had 4-5 marines left and I also made a lurker in his base, wich they shot at the lurker instead of the guardians. Wich followed up with him dieing.







PLEASE: give me comments criteaq and more since we all know this BR writer needs alot of help. thanks.
