The Rising Sun
I am new at br.com so let me introduce myself. My name is yufrontme and
I have a site that I run and operate
yufrontme.com (self titled is thx :O ). Lately my counterpart Litz-C)8 has
written a few BR's
(Starcraft - The TV Show)
and I felt this one was worth Battle Reporting although it is short :( . Let's get it on
The Map
The Lost Temple |
The players
Krippled - Not too sure who he is or if anyone
even knows him. All I know is that he is a pretty good pubbie partner.
yufrontme - I, the writter of this report. My 2v2 isn't the best
so occasionaly I play it to improve on "Team Skillz" :O keke
(bowie)Iggy - A nher that I know nothing about. All I know is
that he was this guy's partner...
Breeze[BG] - Yes we all know Brezze so no need for an introduction.
I went into the game thinking his sc skills should be better than the
writting of his reports
(For Aiur).
Let's see if it is...

The game begins with recon by both Brezze and
Krippled | | .
Breeze discovers Krippled
at 12 and pulls out to scout 9.Krippled's Probe stumbled
upon 2 warping Gateways at 6. Is Breeze planning a rush
with quick z's? Not quiet, when yufrontme is found
Breeze warps an assimilator at yufrontme's
main, preventing him
from an early tech. In need of minerals early,
he ops to let the assimilator remain in his base for a short time. After pool is down, 6 lings are in produced and
are sent to destroy the assimilator |
 |
 |
While all this is happening Iggy pulls off this wall.
Verriah nice as you will see shortly. Now I'm not sure if any of these guys are 1:1 or
2:2 players, but assuming
that they are all well rounded in both I continue not to bag anyone for mistakes :O .
In any case, one of Krippled's probes make it through the wall and warps a single pylon right
next to Iggy's factory. The irony! Seeing the error at the ramp,
yufrontme releases 8 lings to barrel through many anticipating marines. Can he do it?
 |
 |
yufrontme is met by 2 marines who oppose him.
Once struck down he moves towards Iggy's mineral line. The
battle commenses. Iggy quickly moves his SCV's to
counter the opposing lings. After only a few losses to his line he proceeds to build a
Machine Shop and Starport. |
Ok, I know most of you reading this report want to
know what Breeze is doing. 4 Zealots at his ramp with
3 fresh ones comming down from his 2 gates. He warps in a core and throws down a 3rd
gate. Meanwhile, Krippled has pushed out 2 goons and 3 zealots.
Breeze sends his 7 zealots to attack
Krippled's base at 12. At
the same time, Krippled send his force to attack
Breeze's base at 3. On the way to each other's bases, the battle commenses... |
 |
 |
Breeze attacks Krippled's forces and after a short battle,
Krippled retreats to his base. Breeze
begins to persue him, but decides to muster his forces at home, so he withdraws. While the 2 forces
prepare for conflict again yufrontme expands to his
9 natural, and continues to pumps out lings with speed upgrade.
Breeze begins a Stargate and Citel of Adun.
Iggy builds a few bats and a tank.
Krippled begins goon range upgrade and continues to push goons.
Conflict is imminate, who will prevail?
|
 |
|
Krippled commands his goons to attack
Breeze's main, but backs down when zealots begin to counter him
half-way there.
yufrontme sends his forces to gather to the middle. Let
the rumble begin...
|
|
Breeze finding himself way over matched retreats back to his main.
Krippled and yufrontme chase
Breeze, in hopes of eliminating one of the threats.
|
|
After a very messy battle, a handful of lings and a few goons infantrate
Breeze's main. Over
a dozen lings are sent to reinforce the Zerg and Protoss forces. Meanwhile,
Krippled sends a zealot force to
Iggy's nat, preparing for an assult. He has also sent 2 goons
to take care of the medlesome sair
Breeze has sent to
yufrontme's main.
Krippled and yufrontme begin
to hammer Breeze's gates. When yufrontme's
reinforcements arrive at 3, Breeze sends down his
probes to attack the remaining lings and goons. Seeing that defeat is arriving faster than Blizzard
can release a game, both Breeze and Iggy......

| WTH!?! No GG's, no "nice work", no nothing. |
Lessons Learned
- Teamwork is essental for victory in 2 vs 2 games
- Mass zealots with no support doesn't work againist melee + range units
- Visiting yufrontme.com helps stimulate humor
- Breeze writes as good as he plays (not very good)
- Late tech can often set you back
- NO GG IS NO THX
