Drintr (Zerg) and Mesa (Zerg) versus Dkny (Terran) and Isco (Protoss)

Introduction:
Many months had passed since the ending of the Great Terran-Zerg War on Tintaro. As you already know the Terrans lost the war with countless deaths. And that is where our story begins. The Terran fleet from the war (well… what was left of it) almost completely destroyed by Zerg forces set out to try to find someone who could help them take back their homeland of Tintaro. After a long search through the space the Terran fleet landed on a tiny planet that was inhabited by a small band of Protoss warriors. The Protoss treated the Terrans with respect and told them of a temple on the planet that’s mysterious powers could possibly help them against their fight against the Zerg. The Protoss agreed to send a few of their warriors to help them on their journey.

Although things did not go according to plan. Parasites had been planted in some of the Terran generals and the Zerg heard about the Terran’s plans. The Zerg Overmind sent two of its best generals to go to the planet to stop the Terran and Protoss forces. And this began the great battle over the Lost Temple.


Game:
Drintr (Zerg) landed on the 3:00 position while his ally, Mesa (Zerg), landed on the 6:00 position. Mesa and Drintr both constructed spawning pools and then a second hatchery. Mesa then proceeded to tech to air while Drintr teched to hydras.

In the meantime Dkny (Terran) was up to his old tricks again. Dkny teched to waths and attacked Drintr’s base, which was currently being defended by hydralisks. After losing a few wraths Dkny realized the wraths don’t stack up to well against hydras and flew the remainder of his fleet to Mesa’s undefended natural. After a few drones died Mesa was able to hatch some scourges and mutalisks to counter the wraths. The wraths fell quickly to the powerful Zerg forces.

Mesa then flew his mutalisks to Isco’s (Protoss) base at the 9:00 position. Mesa was able to destroy a few pylons and probes before being chased out by some dragoons. In the mean time Drintr upgraded his overlords with the ability to carry units and started preparing for a hydra drop.

Dkny and Isco both expand to their naturals and set up a small defense on each of their naturals. By then Drintr had finished his preparations for his hydra drop and dropped Dkny’s main base. At first the attack was successful and barracks and supply depots fell quickly to the deadly spit of the hydralisks. But then trouble began…. Troublesome trouble!! Dkny took the marines defending his natural and choke, stimmed them, and sent them at the hydras. The hydras fell quickly to the 35+ stimmed marines. Yet all was not lost for Drintr, Drintr hatched some hydras and moved them to attack Dkny’s now undefended natural. By the time Dkny’s troops got to the natural all that was there was a pile of smoke and some rocks.

Dkny retook his natural with the help of some marines and started pumping more marines out of his main. Drintr’s ally Mesa had just teched to guardians and attacked Dkny’s natural with them. Dkny’s marines were no match for the guardians and fell quickly to their powerful air to ground attack. All seemed lost for Dkny until Isco came along with 12 corsairs to fight off the invading guardians.

The guardians fell quickly to the corsairs and Dkny was saved. Dkny then retook his, once again destroyed natural, and went back to pumping marines and medics while Drintr pumped out hydralisks from his main.

The silence on the battlefield was then interrupted by some marines saying, “Ahh that’s the stuff”.

At that same moment a large band of marines raced up Drintr’s choke and started to kill everything in site. Drintr’s hydras were no match for the marines and died fast. Drintr was able to get some drones in one of his overlords and expand to the bottom right island expansion before the last of his base was destroyed by the marine gunfire.

Dkny’s marines accompanied by some of Isco’s dark templars then attacked Mesa’s natural. Mesa’s natural fell quickly just as Drintr’s main had. Then Dkny and Isco sent their infantry up Mesa’s choke to destroy his main.Mesa must have been asleep at the time because when Dkny and Isco attacked, Mesa had no units except for a few mining drones. Mesa died fast to Dkny and Isco’s marines and dark templars and left the game soon after the destruction of his last building.

On Drintr’s island expansion Drintr built an extractor and spawning pool and then proceeded to build some sunken and spore colonies. Although the spore colonies and sunken colonies proved useless when Dkny landed some tanks and destroyed the island expansion with their range.

Drintr sent his remaining drones to try to destroy the tanks but they were quickly destroyed by some wraths. Drintr’s expansion was soon destroyed and Dkny and Isco left the game with smiles.

Now with the help of the newly acquired Lost Temple the Terrans may be able to retake Tintaro. But that is a whole different story.
