Sabotage proudly presents...

Hello. Sabotage here. This is report number 3. So. It was once again a Friday night. I just finished my dinner, and was in desperate need of a game. I got to the ~nh channel, and a few guys were there. After a few games of being owned, I decided to play with a new group. The group consisted of Nal_raar, Flavorofyellow, and Zombo_. Decent enough. We did a 2v2. I was on Nal_raar's team for both games. Now, get ready for Sabotage report #3!!!!

Flavorofyellow got white terran at the north base. nal_raar got orange protoss at the east base. dogfood9 got blue terran at the southern base, while Zombo_ got brown protoss at the west base. As you already know it is 2v2.

GL HF

nal_raar starts with a pylon, gateway, pylon, assimilator build with 10 probes supporting it. His teammate, dogfood9 , makes the 2 supply depot+barracks wall to stop any early intruders. The other team was different. Flavorofyellow makes 2 supply depot, 2 barracks, academy, and refinery build. His ally, Zombo_ , goes late gateway with only 9 probes and a pylon. He is distracted because he has been busy using his probe harassing dogfood9 's scvs while they are trying to make the buildings. Even more gayness comes to hand. nal_raar uses a probe to piss off Zombo_ . Also, Flavorofyellow uses a scv to piss off nal_raar. in other words, everyone is harassing someone, except for dogfood9 . (Its crazy isn't it)

dogfood9 , with good resources, created a factory. His ally, nal_raar, has a cybernetics core along with a second gateway, a forge, and two photon cannons. On the other team, Zombo_ has made an assimilator while his ally continues making scvs.

FIVE MINUTES

For offensive move #1,

Zombo_ 's team looks to attack nal_raar. The attack consists of 4 zealots, 7 marines, and 2 scv. One marine goes up ahead to see what the defense is. The marine gets killed too fast, so Flavorofyellow makes a bunker. The bunker is to keep nal_raar "contained" .

After a few seconds, it gets worse.

During this siege,

nal_raar had made it all the way up to templar archives. The other team's Zombo_ had a cybernetics core and a robotics facility.

Now, what do you think

dogfood9 has been up to? He had a dropship now, and was starting to prepare a drop on Zombo_ .

On the first drop,

dogfood9 drops only 2 siege tanks with siege on the protoss base. The siege tanks are assaulted by a large number of probes. the tanks are forced to back off, but they won't just give up yet.

(Btw

nal_raar is making dragoons so he can make a giant breakout, and dropped a dark templar on Zombo_ )

dogfood9 's Second Drop consists of 3 siege tanks, 4 marines, and 3 firebats. The attack blasts away the remains of a photon cannon, a robotics facility, and a few probes who were brave enough to attack.

All the way from

nal_raar's prison, Zombo_ 's zealots come to take out the drop. the firebats make a good fight, but the zealots outnumbered them by a lot.


The zealots corner the siege tanks and slice them to bits. On the other side of the map,

nal_raar breaks out of his containment zone and attacks Flavorofyellow . The attack is all out dragoons.


Even more good news for

nal_raar's team. dogfood9 drops 2 siege tanks, 7 firebats, a vulture, and 2 marines on Zombo_ 's protoss ass. The drop meets up with the zealots but the firebats burn them. This spells defeat for Zombo_ . He leaves, and so does his partner. The game ends at 12:23


GAME TWO


After the game we do a rematch. Game two has the same teams, but different positions. Of course. So anyway,

dogfood9 gets blue zerg at the east base. He is allied with nal_raar who is orange zerg at the west base. zombo_ got red protoss at the south base. Flavorofyellow was teal terran and got the north base. THis game, the strategies are a little different. zombo_ starts off with a classic dual gateway build. He sends a probe to nal_raar's base, but it dies to probes eventually. Flavorofyellow walls himself in with double supply depot and barracks. He decides not to scout.

dogfood9 doesn't worry about early defence and does a extractor, pool, and expansion hatchery build. nal_raar made a hatchery on top of the ramp and made a few sunkens. This walled him in.

zombo_ has 5 zealots so far, and is making a forge. His ally has an academy, with some m&m. They both attack nal_raar's base. the marines move swiftly out of the way of the cliff sunkens, and shoot a new hatchery, but there are even more sunkens morphing below the cliff, and eventually, the marines die. The zealots come too late and get murdered before doing any considerable damage. However, during this attack, zombo_ did something that hurt nal_raar, and slow down his production. This is what he did. zombo_ finished a cybernetics core and a stargate and pumped out his first corsair. The corsair hunted a few overlord. Things looked bad for nal_raar, until he got a hydralisk den and got a single hydralisk to kill the corsair. He also had been making fresh new zerglings.

dogfood9 gathered up some hydralisk and attacked zombo_ to make up for the loss. A lot of zealots attacked the hydralisk. He danced the hydralisk around, and bought time. Then, nal_raar's lings arrived. They and the hydralisk took care of the zealots, wiped out a just formed nexus. The army went all the way to the main base, then Flavorofyellow floods in with those deadly marines+medics.

MAn i hate m&m... ruins everything

dogfood9 still has a trick up his sleeve though. During the battle, he made a spire. He started a few mutalisk. There were 6. He went for Flavorofyellow's scvs. The bad news is that he had missle turrets. The mutalisk retreat, and wait.

At this time,

nal_raar had just made mutalisk and joined his teammate in attacking Flavorofyellow's infantry.

The mutalisk eventually lost, but they did some good damage.

zombo_ has been quiet. He was attempting to attack dogfood9 even though he has mutalisk. I think thats crazy, but its ok. The attack kills a sunken, and the mutalisk come in. The zealots know they can't win, so they retreat.

nal_raar already has a hive at this point, and is morphing a greater spire. He has an expo up and running.

To keep the other team occupied, and try to make them not advance,

dogfood9 creates a control group of hydralisk and attacks zombo_ . Too bad for him, there was a control group of zealots there too, which flattened the hydralisk.

zombo_ , after losing a nexus twice in a row, had replaced it again. He starts some corsair in case of air attacks. corsair and zealots he pretty much has.

Flavorofyellow is going all-out m&m. Him and zombo_ prepare to attack nal_raar again. They send their guys to the meeting place when all of a sudden, zombo_ sees all the probes at his expansion popping. Yes, indeed. nal_raar's guardians have arrived, and were attacking. He sent in his corsair, and almost killed all the devours, when a mutalisk relief force from dogfood9 comes in and sweeps out the corsairs.
The expansion is now down, and that is not a good sign for
zombo_ . Flavorofyellow tries to counter. The zealots and marines attack nal_raar's base...
After
nal_raar enjoys the marine burgers, 3 suspicious dropships come to dogfood9's base. The drop is marines+tanks. It destroys the hive, but is quick work for the guardians.
Then, the guardians head for
Flavorofyellow's base. The guardians seem to have no predators, so they have no worries.
The marines and stuff try to do something, but guardians own almost all ground, so the marines are anihalated. This leaves a hole in the terran defence. And, to make a satisfactory ending,
dogfood9 floods in dozens of cracklings (with no ups just adrenaline glands).

dogfood9 AND nal_raar WIN!
