The battle ground today is the infamous Lost Temple. The match up, 3some)Victoria and 3some)Kristina VS sE)Caesar and sE)Suzuki. All players have selected Protoss with the exception being Victoria who has chosen to command the ravenous Zerg swarms.

Kristina is brown and is placed at the 12:00 position while her (could be a guy but the name is Kristina) white partner Victoria is located at the 6:00 position. Caesar is teal and has been placed at the 9:00 position while Suzuki has drawn purple and is located at the 3:00 start location. The 3 Protoss players all adopt identical builds heavily geared towards rushing with a pylon on 8 supply, gateway on 10 supply and a second gateway on 12 supply.
Victoria (our lovely zerg commander) has built her spawning pool on the 12 supply mark after an overlord on 8 supply.

The 3:00 minute mark

Each of the Protoss players have added a pylon and are pumping zealots from 2 gateways. Team sE) are rallying their zealots at their choke points while Kristina has set her rally point to just outside her natural, she has also left a hidden probe just outside the 9:00 start to monitor enemy movements.

Kristina has added a hatchery at her choke point and has amassed a small squadron of zerglings for defense.

At 3:20 team sE) moves out with both player sending a force of 3 zealots to Victoria?s Zerg base, Caesar has added 2 probes to his force whereas Suzuki only used a single probe. Kristina?s monitoring probe spotted this attack and she hastely sends her entire military consisting of 3 zealots to Victoria?s base. Victoria quickly lays down 2 Creep colonies and then turns all available larvae into Zerglings.

At 3:50 Caesars forces arrive at Victoria?s base where they are confronted by a pack of 10 zerglings attempting to hold the choke. A hefty micro war ensues with Victoria using every trick in the book to keep her zerglings alive, waste time while her sunken colonies come online and give Kristina time to get there.

Victoria?s Sunkens come online and the tide begins to turn. The sunken colonies are destroyed with just 2 zealots and 2 probes remaining as Kristina?s reinforcements arrive at the choke. However upon seeing Victoria has the situation under control the zealots turn around and head home!! This is of little consequence however as more zerglings hatch and the invaders are successfully dealt with.

Elapsed time 4:50

While this has been going on each player has added an assimilator (Victoria has added an Extractor) and have maintained constant Zealot production. Suzuki has also started warping in a Cybernetics core and Caesar has constructed a shield battery at his choke point.

Immediately after the conclusion of the battle at Victoria?s base team sE) went on the offensive once again by sending all available forces (5 Zealots each) to Kristina?s base. This is once again spotted by Kristina?s spy probe that is shortly put to death. Victoria sends all available Zerglings and Kristina?s Zealot forces are still on their way home.

Caesars 5 zealot assault force arrives at Kristina?s base where they engage her 3 zealot defense force. After losing a single Zealot Kristina retreats her army back to her choke point. Team sE)?s attacking Zealots break through Kristina?s choke defenses as reinforcements arrive. Team sE) send their Zealots straight for Kristina?s probe line. Team 3some)?s reinforcements arrive and both sides proceed to micro their asses off with team 3some) emerging victorious.

Elapsed time 5:54

During the battle Caesar and Kristina have begun warping in Cybernetics cores while Suzuki has already begun manufacturing Dragoons, Victoria has continued to pump zerglings and has begun morphing her hatchery into a lair.

Tired of sitting on the defensive the whole game team 3some) decide to take action by sending their armies to Caesars base.

Despite being outnumbered heavily at his choke uses his shield battery excellently and forces team 3some)?s retreat after suffering only 1 casualty.

Time elapsed 6:46

As team 3some) is pulling its units away they intercept Suzuki?s army moving toward Kristina?s base. Suzuki is heavily outnumbered and attempts to dance his way to Caesar?s base. To assist Caesar sends out his force of 7 Zealots however disaster strikes. Suzuki had done a good job of keeping his units alive losing only a Dragoon and a Zealot. However when Caesars Zealots arrive in the center team 3some) flanked the Zealot force. Caught between to armies the Zealots did not last long before being sent back to Auir, a decisive victory for team 3some).

Elapsed time 7:24

As this was going on Victoria begun morphing a spire while Kristina and Suzuki each warped in a 3rd gateway. Sadly for Suzuki those Dragoons which had proved so costly to save were intercepted trying to make their way home, after losing another Dragoon they were once again sent back to Caesars base. 20 seconds later Suzuki sends them out again where they are surrounded by Victoria?s zerglings and utterly crushed.

Elapsed Time 8:41

Deciding that the time was right team 3some) mounted an all out offensive on Caesar?s base. Caesars defending forces were crushed at the cost of all of Victoria?s lings. Rather than helping his ally defend Suzuki launched an all out offensive on Kristina?s base, Kristina withdrew her forces to counter the threat.

Elapsed Time 10:26

While those skirmishes were being fought out Victoria had morphed her first squad of Mutalisks and begun some harassment. At 11 minutes 30 seconds time Suzuki launched an all Dragoon offensive against Victoria. A sequence of events then transpired so quickly that it is hard for me to describe them all.

Suzuki pulled his attack force back from Victoria?s natural where it meets Kristina?s Protoss forces in combat. Victoria?s Muta/ling combo soon entered the fight and Suzuki?s forces were crushed. While this was occurring Caesar launched an offensive against Kristina who had begun warping an expansion. Team 3some) divided their forces into a ground half, which was sent to rescue Kristina?s expansion and an aerial half that was sent to Caesars base.

Team 3some)?s ground forces were able to destroy Caesars attacking army taking some casualties whereas the Mutalisk fleet met with next to no resistance at Caesars base. Caesar then quit the game. Despite having no chance of winning Suzuki decided to go down fighting but did not last very long.
