Greetings, and welcome to another Dialtone_ report. Bleh. If you've seen my other reports you most
likely already know that the report will take a bloody eternity to load. Heck, you're probably better
off jogging to you ISP and asking them to burn this page in a cd, then jogging back home to read it. I
was thinking of distributing it in a cd-rom for the mere price of US 30$ and/or free, but my budget is
limited these days. (not to mention that i lack the intelectual capacity to use a cd recorder) :|. But
the good(not) news is that the absolutely hedious spelling is still here (MsWord spit it's guts out
last night, along with several other programs for no apparent reason), the repetitive foofernacle and
jabberjoofie, and the general "wtf-is-goin-on-here?" spirit remains untouched. In a summary: This
report = Just like carma kicked you in the ass. :|
Anyway, a few days back i was playing D2 but unfortunatly USEast was was wigging out again. Bleh again.
I messaged [i]mpaired to find me a game to watch. He told me to screw off. :(
I threatened him that i'd post "the photos" and everything was fine, a few minutes later the bw cd was
spinning and i was in the game along with [i]mpaired, [i]AkiraX, [i]Fear and [i]Viper.
Enough with lame intros, on with the killing.

The map: Lost Temple (yah, live with it)
Team Bad Manners rolled in with a hardcore rush, Fear with triple Gateways
and AkiraX with hatch at ramp, pool then another hatch near the first one.
"You Race??" got jiggy with [i]mpaired dual raxing and then gas, and Viper with a hatch at choke, pool and then hatch at natural.
First blood spilt when team Bad Manners tried to pimp Viper's Ramp
hatchery atacking with 6 lings and a pair of zealots. [i]mpaired got 5 rines
there asap to help out, half the troops took chase to the marines, and Viper was forced to cancel the hatch , but got the chance to raise a couple of
sunkens in his natural and get lings from his main to hold off when the zealot/ling pimp squad comes
back. The atack came in the form of 6 zealots,(the lings wigged out) who hastely turned tail and run
for their lives when they tried to run up the ramp and met with a squad of slightly pissed off lings
from Viper's main.
Having denied the early hit, team manners got into the expanding/powering game, with Fear getting 2 pylons to support a Shield Battery, that in it's turn would
support the zealots supporting the defense on the newly warped Nexus there. Viper did manage to get a ling past the ddefenders and see about 10 probes
maynarded to the natural, but was cut down promptly by a couple of zealots waiting up the ramp.
AkiraX was heavy in ling/hydra production with a single evo for upgrades
and occasional drone here and there.
"You Race??" Team's [i]mpaired was going the heavy metal path with an academy
and 2 factories on the ground, along with assorted m&m and an unseiged tank up his ramp. Viper had a spire already up and his first mutas where out when Fear and AkiraX descided to go in for a second round.
Guess what though, [i]mpaired was on the move too and zealots and hydras met
near the "Temple" of the Temple. Uh, yah. The pinpoint army was quicly cut down but when hydras and
zealots started blowing things up [i]mpaired ordered his troops to go "guard"
the zerg choke. Soon enough, war was waging as a smaller amount of [i]mpaired's and Viper's zerling/muta/m&m army,
met with zealots and hydras. Things were looking grim for Viper when
both his sunkens went down faster than my 1st summester's grades, but [i]mpaired soon showed up with a couple of tanks and a few marines to save the day
with no further losses.
More expanding and generaly not making things go "Owww" and "Booom" for me to take screenshots of.
Bleh. :|. Imp lands a CC in his natural and proceeds to maynard at least... 3 SCV's into mining duties
there. (the mind bogles), Fear has his 2nd natural on the works and
defended with goons, and AkiraX moves hydras and lings way outside his
natural where he has a hatch morphing.
Finaly, [i]mpaired makes me proud, since he has shot up in the tech tree
enough to unload a tank and 2 golies in the high ground overlooking the 9 oclock 2nd natural. There,
much to my enjoyment, many things went "ouch" including a bunch of probes cought in the first blast. 2
Goons close in to hurt the tank, and one of them went down before imp unsieged and moved the tank over
the 9oclock natural. Fear moves about 10 goons there waiting for overlord
sight from AkiraX. The overlord finnaly arrives and the tank get blown to
smitherings, but not before his kill count went up to 21 ^_^. [i]mpaired
tries again, this time with 2 tanks, but Fear was ready for it and drops 2
zealots and a goon just in time.
During all that Viper finds the chance to do some damage himself,
when he moves 9 mutas over AkiraX's natural, who's been busy powering
hydras all along and not helping his partner a bit :). Slowly but surely the natural is wiped off and
the Guards move over to the high ground at the 6oclock main, overlooking it's 2nd natural and start
raining acid on the mining drones, until they are finnaly met with hydras from both low and high ground
near the choke and disposed of. AkiraX descides to return the favor with a
12 hydra drop in Viper's natural. It didnt go that well, since
Viper spotted the drop with a patroling Overlord and quickly
dispached the gydras with speedlings. [i]mpaired tries in vain to hit Fear's second natural but his army never gets there when he meets up with larger
numbers of dragoons and hydras.
[i]mpaired tries another drop an Fear's cliff,
this time with 4 tanks and 4 goliaths, again putting the hurt on dragoons and probes, until until 4
zealots and 12 hydras are dropped on the high ground and dispose of the threat.
A moment of silence there, as each team's zerg takes an island, AkiraX
droping the hydras that he used to clear Fear's cliff with to the top
island, and Viper morphing a couple of drones in the bottom one and
having a few mutas patroling for a drop.
But the end is near. [i]mpaired and Viper
gear off together to assault Fear's 2nd natural. [i]mpaired first seiges his pinpoint tanks just in sight of the cannons and goons,
and promptly start blowing this up, while Viper is throwing wave
after wave of ardenalings. Fear recalls a small group of goons en route to
AkiraX's natural, but in the end the mass tanks/goliaths along with just
arriving lings win the day. The second wave of lings fails again but gives the time for [i]mpaired to move even more of his tanks close to the base and starts putting the
hurting in mining probes.
The last stand for AkiraX is in his natural's chokepoint, dancing goons
between zerlings trying to hold out, but [i]mpaired's tank arrive and soon
zerlings are atacking his main, and in the end he offers a gg and he and his partner leave the game.
Winners:
Team "You Race???"
[i]mpaired and [i]Viper
No lessons learned. Thanks for reading, and may the good mojo be with you.
