Pregame
After watching
5 1vs1's to make a Battle Report on, and after each game wasn't Battle
Report material, I decided it was time to try again. After 15 minutes in
Clan ~Nohunters, not finding a good game to Battle Report I decided to
try Clan -x17. Sure enough in 5 minutes I found a game to Report. DAzed~Szelkye
responded to [o]TriS request for a 1vs1. 2 Games where played, the first
wasn't really Battle Report material but I will sum it up here, Both players
picked their races, with Tris as Zerg at 6 and DAzed at 9. After some great
Micro but Tris, he stopped a Zealot/Probe Rush early. Then he teched up,
massed Lings/Hydra's and killed Dazed easily. Dazed requested a rematch
and it was granted.
The real
deal
Map
: The Lost Temple
For the sake
of my sore hands [o]TriS will be known as tris and DAzed~Szelkye will be
known as dazed.
Dazed =
Purple Protoss @ 9 (Chosen)
Tris =
Brown Zerg at 3 (Chosen)
Dazed
went for a early tech Build Order, which was:
Pylon on
8
Gateway
on 10
Pylon on
12
Gas on
12
Tris
went for a normal Zerg Build Order which was:
9 Overlord
12 Hatchery
below Ramp
12 Spawning
Pool
14 Hatchery
at Natural
Dazed,
after seeing that a Overlord had not come from 6, scouted 12 first, and
after not finding his enemy, he checked again at 3. He saw the early Hatchery
and sent his first Zealot at it. The Zealot didn't have probe support and
turned out to be more of a scout than anything. Since in game 1, Tris
went for a late Pool, Dazed
hoped that this would be the case again, but
6 Zerglings stopped the lone Zealot from doing much damage.
Once the
Hatchery at his Natural finished, Tris
sent 3 Drones to mine it, and he started a Sunken Colony by his First Hatchery
(below ramp). He then sent a small force of about 8 Zerglings to Dazed
Natural. Then Tris
started a 2nd Expansion, at the 12 Natural.
Dazed
had not been inactive during all this. He had a second Gateway, and was
making a Dragoon Force. He was also teching to Reavers. He then killed
the Zergling force by his Natural, and expanded there. He had 1 Shuttle
and a Reaver, but decided NOT to reaver drop his Zerg foe yet.
Tris had
expanded to his Mineral only and was working on a Hdrya Force now. He also
had a Lair.
Dazed
was being out mined. He had 4 Gateways and was making Ranged Dragoons,
while Tris was making A large Hdrya force. The 2 massive army's would have
to face each other sooner or later...
Tris
took the first move as he loaded 9 Overlords with 36 Hdryalisk's and sent
them to Dazed main
base. This could end the game, but would it?
DENIED!
The Hdrya swarm
just could not handle the Reaver/Dragoon/Zealot force. While this attack
was going on both players did little moves. Dazed,
dropped 2 Reavers in Tris's
Main Mineral Line, but these where killed by a pack of Hdryas before they
caused to much damage. Then Dazed
expanded to the 6 Main. Tris
also expanded, this time to the 12 Main.
Shortly
after the attack I saw something I have never seen done before. Tris
dropped 4 Hdryas and several Drones on Dazed
Cliff and started a Hatchery!! After
the Hatchery was done, he made 4 Sunken Colony's. They hit the probes mining
here, which made the Expansion useless. When Dazed
tried to stop this, his Shuttle was killed before it could unload it's
cargo. So Dazed
pulled all his probes off minerals and sent them to his new 12 Base. However
disaster hit. Tris was had a Hatchery Mophing at the 12 Natural by this
time, and the Probes ran into a force of Hdryalisks. The Hdrya Force killed
the probes and Tris now
knowing that Dazed had an at Expansion at the 12 Main, decided to attacked
it. Although 3 Photon Cannons put up a fight, they couldn't stop the never
ending swarm of Hdryalisk's. As the Protoss mining camp was being destroyed,
Dazed knew he
had to do something to keep the game in his favor. So he took a large Dragoon
and Zealot force and attacked Tris' Mineral
only base. What happened next was a bloody battle.
 As
you can see, Ling and Hdrya forces overwhelmed the Dragoon army. It wasn't
looking for Dazed at
this point. It became clear that Tris
had won the game once I looked at Dazed main
base. It was defenseless. Right after the battle, Tris
attacked, The Protoss put up little fight,
because we all know 50 Hdryas > 3 Dragoons. GG's where exchanged, as the
Zerg Swarm destroy the Protoss base.
Lessons
Learned

You can

[o]TriS
