A very, very necessary high tech, high performance Flash intro! Directed by George Lucas personally..err not really but just as good!

 

And, for you non-flash people out there...(or the movie didn't load):

Two protoss executors have been ordered to gain control of a small mineral rich planet.

 

As they arrive, they find that the Overmind also intends to harvest the mineral fields...

 

The only way to control the planet is to eradicate the zerg...

 

...unfortunately for the protoss executors, the zerg broods are far from helpless...

 


 

 

Sorry guys, I had to make this picture smaller because it wouldn't fit in the table otherwise. Thats why the edges are all choppy.

The guy has a fetish thing for ` I tell you.

He might be the only normal kid in this report.

 

Smurf? Where?

 

Whoop is teal protoss at 6.

Bob is yellow protoss at 9. 

Medics is brown zerg at 12.

Seph is white zerg at 3.

 

The map is The Lost Temple. Need a minimap? N-o-p-e.

 

Both Bob and Whoop starts off with rather typical builds, making two gateways and pumping zealots. Medics and Seph both builds spawniing pools first. Seph hatches six early zerglings while Medics seems to focus on drones.

 

The six lings make their way to Bob's base, where there is a Zealot defending, but he is positioned among the probes so that they can assist if an attack would come.

 

Recon is good. When you do it right. So do it right. Logic.

 

The attack comes, and the put-yer-zeal-in-the-probeline tactics works perfectly, and another Zealot is warped from Aiur during the short battle.

 

During the attack, Medics has morphed a Hatchery at his choke, and he now claims his natural with another one, while Seph takes his mineral only.

 

At this time, Bob says "Let's hit white on 7 each". Seph now attacks Whoop with 12 Lings, but he is chased away by five Zealots and a probe called Arthur. The two zergs gather their Zerglings in the middle of the map at the same time as Bob and Whoop decides to march out. The Lings intercept Bob's Zealots before they can team up with Whoop.

 

The Zealots are forced to run from the Lings in a not so brave way. The brown Zerglings quickly run towards Bob's base, but soon Bob and Whoop groups their Zealots, and launch their attack on Seph's mineral only expansion, making the Lings to return to defend.

 

All players send their troops to this expansion now, and a major battle occurs. At first, the Lings manage to kill the Zealots, but then more arrive and kill the Lings. Then more Lings hatch and kill the Zealots. You get the picture. At this time there are five Gateways on the map and five Hatcheries, which makes it touch for the protoss. 

 

 

After a while Bob and Whoop decides to go for Seph's main, and send all their Zealots there. They are soon followed by an army of Lings. A sunken comes online above the ramp, and all the Zealots are ordered to get up there to gain a strategic posisition to fight the Lings. 

 

Unfortunately for my report, he didn't. The coward.

 

Those plans don't work very well though, and all the Zealots are killed. Both protoss players now starts to tech. Bob is building a Robotics Facility and going for reavers, while Whoop is teching towards High Templars and storm.

 

Medics takes his mineral only, and continues to power, as does Seph. Hydras are now spawned aswell as Zerglings. Whoop takes his natural now, and Bob says "Reavers soon".

 

I wonder if that orange cloud next to the Hydralisk Den smells bad..

 

Bob loads his first Reaver into a Shuttle and heads north towards Medics main, but a brown Overlord stationed above his natural's cliff spots the Shuttle and the drones run away before the Reaver arrives. Bob decides not to drop it, instead he uses it to reinforce his defence. He drops a Probe at the north west island and starts a Nexus there.

 

Seph starts a Hatchery at his natural and Bob performs a perfect two Reaver drop on Medics mineral only. Unfortunately for him, there were no Drones there to kill. The zerg players now have a large army off Zerglings and Hydras in the middle, guarding their expansions.

 

Bob also takes his natural now, which at least reduces the zerg economy advantage.

 

The two executors meet in the western Nexus to discuss their plans...

 

- ..and when I give the signal, march north, and make sure your Templars are well defended and shielded by the Zealots.

 

- Ofcourse, I shall charge the zerg army according to the plan, and then we shall unite our armies and... 

 

At the same time, Bob and Whoop move their armies. The teal Zealots clash Medics' and Seph's Zerglings in the middle, then the Templars arrive and Psi-storm is cast on Hydras that hurry to intercept the protoss. The Zealots are 0-0-1 and the Zerglings and Hydras are not upgraded. Soon, the southern part of the middle is covered in Zerg blood.  

 

 

That upgrade pic should have been a psiblade, but I accidentally put in a Dragoon weapon =(

 

 

After a while both armies are heavily damaged, and small battles are fought between small groups of units. Eventually the zerg are wiped out, and Whoop moves north.

 

While this was going on, Bob was attacking Medics' mineral only. He attacked the Hydras guarding it with Dragoons and Reavers, killing them. Then he moved east and combined his forces with Whoop's.

 

Together, the Dragoons, Zealots, Templars and Reavers form a lethal threat to the zerg, being able to counter almost any unit. There is little  Medics and Seph can do as the protoss destroy Seph's mineral only and then charging the Hive clusters themselves.

 

The Rambo Reaver

 

Seph and Medics concedes the game. The winners are Bob and Whoop!

 

 


 

 

As the last of the zerg cluster goes down, the two protoss executors meet at the top of the Lost Temple, looking at the planet they have conquered, thinking about the advantage the new minerals will give Aiur, their homeworld, in the crusade against the zerg infestation that has only just begun...

 

- We have a time of war and death ahead of us, my friend. The zerg swarm is already closing in on our homeworld, whiping out numerous colonies in their path.

 

- Yes, many of our brethren will perish in this coming war. Entire worlds will be crushed in this ultimate struggle. But in the end we shall prevail! Aiur will be victorious!

 

- By Adun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*FART*

 

- Did you just fart in my face?

 

- Um..no...

 

- Oh, must have been that arrogant Templar over there.

 

- Those bastards.
