Introduction
This game started like every other game starts. With someone asking for a game. It took awhile, but the game was finally made. I was originally(sp?) going to play with my partner, Micron-[DX], but I found out that one of the players already had a partner that was coming. So then I was forced to obs. The teams were [X]FukuMitSu(aka Fuku) and Rookie~Ross(aka rookie). Their opponents were -PePpy-(aka Peppy) and his partner, Bucannon(aka Buc). The game started with Fuku landing his purple Command Center at the mid right position, Rookie spawning himself a blue Hatchery at the bottom position. While Peppy warped his yellow Nexus at the top position, and his partner Buc spawned himself a brown Hatchery at the left position.

Early Game
Early game build were not really extraordinary, with Fuku going with a depot, barracks, depot, barracks, refinery, and another barracks. Rookie, his partner went with a fast mutalisk build with an overlord, hatchery at his ramp, an extractor, and finally a pool. Soon to get Lair and Spire tech. Their only Protoss opponent, Peppy went with a standart Protoss build going for a pylon, gateway, gateway, then a bunch of pylons as he began massive zealot production. Last but not least, his partner, Bucannon also went with a tech build going with an overlord, hatchery at his ramp, spawning pool, hatchery in main, extractor. Also gunning for a Lair and a Spire.
First Blood=)
First blood was spilt as Peppy orders Buc to send down a rushing force down to Rookie's natural expansion. As soon as the forces mustered up, the attack force was sent in. /br2/fb1.gif) As the zealots and zergling began to run up the ramp, Rookie orders all of his available zerglings to block off the ramp, and let the sunkens he had built ahead of time to inflict most of the damage. Buc's zerglings were the first to test out Rookie's defenses. They were soon slaughtered and it was Peppy's turn as he sent in a force of about 8 zealots. But Rookie did have the ramp advantage, and was using zerglings to block off the zealots from the sunkens.

However, Peppy and Bucannon had sent a few reinforcements. Rookie was now running out of zerglings as more troops from his opponents were now running up the ramp. The reason why Fuku did not send any forces down to help his partner was because Rookie had told him that he was going to be okay, but it turns out he might be wrong. Rookie had now lost most of is zerglings and had retreated them back from the battle. Thus, giving Peppy and Buc a chance to run up the ramp to take out the sunkens. Unfortunately, their troop count had dropped dramatically as the 3 sunkens Rookie had placed took out most of the zerglings and zealots, but he had lost 2 of the sunkens ever since he had opened the ramp to his opponents./br2/fb3.gif) Rookie was now at the last of his defenses, when his partnerFuku had finally arrived with some marines and a couple medics. Which he had used to take out the last of the zerglings and zealots.
Tech Anyone?
During the attack on Rookie had finally finished his tech to mutalisks. While Buc had also finished his own tech to mutalisks, however, Rookie had a bit more as he teched to them much faster than Buc. I really don't know why, but Rookie retreats his mutalisks back into his main as he begins to regroup an even bigger force. On the north side of the map, Peppy and Fuku had been massing up forces of their own. With Peppy using his forces to block off his choke, he has begun the tech to templars. But his opponent Fuku was not going to allow him to tech quietly to templar as he quickly sent down a force consisting mainly of marines and a couple medics. Peppy was able to see the marines coming from the top of his ramp. And decides to send his entire force down to deal with the pimpin' rednecks. However, zealots don't do so well when there is a ramp stuffed with marines. The marines then began to slaughter Peppy's zealots. Peppy retreats the rest of is forces back up the ramp, with Fuku's marines following in hot pursuit. As soon as every last marine ran up the ramp, the hot pursuit ended as two more zealots popped out of Peppy's gateways.
When DTs Attack!
Fuku must have been fearing the threat of the deadly dark templar as he began asking if his partner had OL speed. Unfortunately, Rookie had not researched overlord speed, and Fuku just let his force sit quietly at the top of ramp blocking Peppy from getting out. In fact, it was so quiet that they didn't even notice that one of their kind was missing./br2/ca2.gif) Yes, Peppy has finished production of his first two dark templar, and already knocked out some marines with them. Fuku finally notices this and quickly tries to see what type of damage he can do to Peppy, but this attempt fails as more zealots popped out of the gateways, and with the help of the dark templar, Peppy fends off the attack. During this, Rookie must have outproduced Buc as he was now attacking the hatcheries, and I didn't see any drones, mutalisks, or zergling in Buc I was guessing that he wasn't making mutalisks, but was spending all his money on more zerglings and drones as he attempted to expand before the attack.
Revenge is Sweet
Thanks to the death of his partner, Peppy was going to have to hurry up and take out one of his opponents as soon as possible. So he then sent down a large force of zealots, dragoons, and dark templar to his Terran foe's main. /br2/ffall1.gif)
Unfortunately, Fuku was unable to hold off the attack from Peppy as more troops were heading his way./br2/ffall2.gif)
A 2v2 now turned into a 1v1
With both teams having lost one in their numbers, the game has become a one on one battle. Rookie has been making more mutalisks and zerglings, while Peppy has continued making zealots, templar, and dragoon from his two gateways. Rookie sensing an opportunity to hurt his opponent, sends a flock of mutalisks straight into Peppy's mineral line finding very little resistence./br2/mutar3.gif)
Peppy was able to hold this off, but just barely as he was forced to mine at his natural for quite awhile. Rookie was now using hit and run attacks on Peppy by sending in the mutalisks, taking out some probes, then when the dragoons would arrive, he would fly them away, then attack the zealots gaurding the ramp. This must have been frustrating for Peppy as he was being forced to mine at his natural many times.
Peppy must have been getting frusturated from the constant hit and run attacks, and was now producing nothing but dragoons. This was a bad choice for units as when he was now able to defend from the constant mutalisk raids from Rookie, Rookie sent down a full force of zerglings to fight off the dragoons. The dragoons were doing well, until Rookie sends in his mutalisk squad to finish the dragoons off. Seeing there was no way he can win, Peppy concedes the game to Fuku and Rookie
Here were some interesting quotes I got pics of made by our players(actually mostly by Fukumitsu)
