Hello again, welcome to the rematch between Bhelliom and ^CHATGRIS^. A few days before I posted the first battle, the two players agreed to rematch for a new BR. I suggested they both picked random again, but Bhelliom and Chat were confident enough to pick the same races. Looks like some more Vanilla SC fun!
BTW a few things:
I finally used an Obs map so you should get the whole picture from the screen shots
No more Matrisking =(. He was busy that night so no more witty comments such as "Its time for some shit to hit the fan."
Despite comments, I have decided to stick with what I believe in and go with all-centered text again. Do I get bonus points for being principled?
No I won't be doing any BW reports (for a while at least). I still like vanilla SC better due to the fact that often there is more variance in the strategies done (i.e. sairs vs zerg on island isn't ALWAYS the strategy to use, no pure lurker vs M & M etc.) and also the race imbalances (zerg got gypped!)
So onto the game...
Well, it was a given that the rematch map would once again be Lost Temple. The game got underway and Bhelliom spawned blue zerg once again at the 9:00 position while ^Chatgris^ landed at the 6:00 position as purple terran.
Build orders were similar to last game but not all the same. When Bhelliom's scouting overlord noticed that he was directly next to the terran forces, he began an early pool, followed by a second hatchery at his main and a third hatchery at his natural. ^Chatgris^ similarly built a depot, two barraxes, a gas refinery and another depot.
First blood was drawn soon after when a fresh marine popped out of the barracks. It hunted down the Ovie until it got to the edge of his base. The lumbering flyer got away but just barely. Seeking revenge, Bhelliom sends his original 6 lings to Chat's base consisting of 3 or 4 marines and SCVs. Needless to say, the lings did a bit of damage, most notably keeping the SCVs from working, but were eventually killed.
Bhelliom continued to mass zerglings while his terran opponent began a natural outpost. Chatgris built a bunker and a CC and sent his maybe 7 marines there. When the bunker finishes, Bhelliom has about 20 lings and sends them in. Unfortunately Chatgris's outpost falls immediatly. While he is coordinating the attack, he begins another expansion at the 12:00 main.
Chat's brand new factories and vultures can't even hold off his impending doom... he does get a few last shots in as a marine of his finds and begins destroying Bhelliom's newest expansion and as his vultures begin to pound on Bhelliom's natural expansion drones.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Once again both players played well. Bhelliom was looking to take out his opponent early while Chatgris never expected an attack like this. Congrats to both players... In fact, now that I think about it, a third game might be in order, like a best out of three matchup. You might see another one of these soon so keep an eye out =). Sorry no suck up section this time =(.
