| it had been a
while since i last saw my old friend Cow. we used play 2v2
quite often and it was nice to see him online again. the
Diablo 2 fever had worn off and he was ready for some SC
again. After we talked about the good old times we knew
it was time.. time for good ol' 2v2. Go create 2v2 i said. We soon met up with fluffy
and chucky. After some useless chatter the countdown
started and the game was off (finally) Team Cartoons Vs
Team dumb toys
Team cartoons
consists of chicken (terran at 3) and Cow(toss at 12).
Team dumb toys consists of fluffy (zerg at 6) and chucky
(toss at 9). Introduction:
Cow: my die-hard
ally. We grew up toghether (starcraft wise) played with
him for a year off and on. He loves to macro and refuses
to build a forge as it "tempts him to make those
damn expensive photon cannons".. lol.. still, a more
than competent player.
Chicken: that would
be me. Terran only player and focus on expanding and
macro. i once got kicked by a terran using a 8 golie/tank
drop. this impressed me so much i used that strat ever
since.
(my post game
comment)
Chucky: A strong
player, really great macro, sucky "focus fire",
gosu grades and storm happy. A real challenge.
Fluffy: a sly
player, not that great but has some mean tricks up his
sleeve. Really a sneaky basterd. He uses devious tacticts
like fast lurker ^^ and mass hydra drop. Actually, one
tends to forget he is also in the game because chucky is
such a damn strong player.
2 v 2 lt
!!!!!

VS

There, now we know
what we are talking about. Let start this game allready.
Our initial builds
went something like this:
Chucky had a 2 gate
+ cybercore build and techs to DT.
Fluffy techs up to
lurker pretty fast and uses a choke hatch defence with
your average sunken & lings
Cow uses his wacky
"2 pylon before gate" strat for zeal dragoon .
(don't ask me ??)
Chicken goes for a
2 fact vultures and spidermine build with some marines
for support.
As said: chucky
teched to DT's and decided to test Cow's defence. chicken
was done mining his chocke and wandered off to the centre
of the map. fluffy didnt do much except expand and make
some lings. As chucky's 2 dts arrive at Cow's base the
ramp was guarded by 2 zeals and 3 dragoons. The 2
escorting zealots are quickly taken care of by the
defenders but the dts are a different story. Happily
hacking away at the zeals and dragoons which are on hold
at the ramp, Cow quickly throws up a oberservatory as his
robo fac was just done. The dts can't get through and
this is buying chicken some time to catch up with his
ally. Alas, the dts make it through the blockade
frantically followed by the vultures, trying to lay mines
in the path of the dt's. (Dt's are not that invisible,
you can tell by the blur on the screen). when an observer
plops out, the dts are quickly taken care of. Damage: 2
zeals-3 dragoons vs 2 zeals and 2 dt's and a badly
damaged assimilator.

Obviously team
cartoons wouldn't stand for such an insult and they
quickly countered with the remaining zeals and dragoons
accompanied with every vulture chicken had, about 6. This
didn't fare too well because chucky had storm and a nice
army.
Round 1:
early game
Meanwhile chicken
had expanded and so had Cow. Lets rock, both Cow and
chicken had been massing for an attack on chucky. On the
other hand, chucky had'nt been idle too and he had a
sizable army and some high templars. Anyone starting to
wonder what fluffy was up to ? yep !! lurkers, and lots
of them. 8 lurkers made it to chucky's natural and dug in.
Chucky kept up his macro and rammed his units down the
cartoons throaths thanks to the lurker cover and a good
amount of storm, Quite impressive.

Meanwhile chicken
had 4 tanks ready and went strait for fluffy's expansion.
The tanks killed a nice amount of hydra's and some drones
before being killed by the retreating lurkers at chucky's
main. Back to square 1 !!
Round 2:
butchery
Seing that fluffy
was kinda weak on macro chicken decided to add to the
pressure. He finally bothered to get an SV and
accompanied by 4 tanks and 8 golies he headed over to the
zerg expansion too see whats up. The golies stumbled over
some burried lurkers and ordered the Science vessel to
reveal their position. Previous to this assault chucky
expanded and was massing at his expo. As chicken was
raping the zerg expansion, chucky showed up and kicked
the living shit out of the terran.

This action
triggered Cow to help out his team-mate and he ordered a
good 2 hotkeys worth of zeal and dragoons to the
battlefield. Chucky was badly damaged from the previous
assault and Cow had no trouble in just rolling in and
started finishing off the zerg

Round 3: revenge
Both teammates were
wondering what the hell this zerg was thinking, he was
playing like crap ? However, the sneaky basterd had one
last trick up his sleeve. 6 overlords worth of hydra's
landed in chickens main as team cartoons rolled in for
the kill.

It was kinda like a
desperate attempt to keep his teammate in the game.
Chucky lost his army to Cow and Chicken was still bashing
fluffy with a small army.
Fact: 24 hydras
> empty main. This attack cought Chicken completely by
surprise and in terror he send all his units back to get
rid of the attacker. This was the que chucky had been
waiting for. He mobilized his complete army to finish off
the damn terran.

Cow once again came
to the rescue. With 10 gateways to produce from he helped
out the terran in need. chicken however, lost his entire
main and barely held on to his natural and luckily
recently started an expansion at an island. His mineral
only too was completely wiped out by chucky. Things
didn't look good for team cartoons.
Round 4: do
or die !
fluffy however had
been taken out of the game. A minor detail, caused a
serious problem for the cartoons team. As chicken and Cow
were razing fluffys main, the sneaky baster took a drone
to the most left corner of the 6 position and started a
hatchery. When all but the hidden building were razed the
cartoons team just assumed he had an expansion somewhere
else. This spelled disaster for chicken because fluffys
units were only half way razing chickens base. Had he
died, as he should have, fluffy WOULD have had at least
50 % of his production capacity left. But NOW fluffy
hapilly continued razing poor chicken (that would be me).
Kinda reminds me of mark4, never say die !!.. chickens
main lay in ashes and Cow barely held off the attacker
who is named chucky after he kicked out fluffy.
Cow had saved his
partner but he didn't have to expect anything from him
the next few minutes. Chicken refuses to give up and
takes 12 scv's from his natural to rebuild his fallen
main.
While this was
going on cow tried to finish the game on his own. bad
mistake ^^. cow took all the units he had left and
attacked chucky head on. let the pic do the talking. (the
grades belong to chucky)

After just 2
minutes Chicken had his base up and running again, he
built 8 factories 5 supply depots and and armory. Another
2 minutes after that he had a sizeble army once more. Cow
had been massing too and they both headed out for chucky
who was desperately outnumbered.
Size doesn't
matter - yoda
Team cartoons was
ready to take chucky out of the game and they received a
warm welcome. Chucky is tough basterd and he knew it. He
had his army ready for us, waiting to take the fall. When
both armies clashed storms flied, tank shells covered the
ground and goliaths exploded. It was a furious battle and
chucky lived up to his reputation, taking down whith him
2 times the units we had. But it was over, outnumbered
and and out-recourced he conceded this incredible game.

And fluffy ? the
only drone he could make got stuck between the hatchery
and the land left to him. GG stupid toys..
