The Game

After hanging out in nohunters for awhile Johnny_Vegas challenged
Mind_Twist to a game. Since I hadn't had the pleasure of watching
Johnny_Vegas play yet, I volunteered to be an observer in their game.
I hope this HTML turns out, cause the preview button is all messed up.

Johnny_Vegas chose to command the terrans and started out at 2
o'clock.Mind_Twist, on the other hand, chose, the mighty protoss to
lead into battle. Mind_Twist started out at the 12 o'clock position.
Both players went with fairly standard build orders:Johnny_Vegas
built a depot on 8, followed by a barracks and refinery. Mind_Twist
made a less subtle approach as he built 2 gateways in an obvious
move toward a fast zealot rush. Both players scouted early on to find
their opponents. Johnny_Vegas found Mind_Twist first with an scv. It
was now apparent to Johnny_Vegas that his opponent was zealot
rushing. Luckily for Johnny, Mind_Twist didn't find him for quite awhile.
When Mind_Twist found Johnny_Vegas, Twist found that all Johnny
had for defense was a single bunker! Twist quickly sent all of his
zealots to attack. Johnny was not idle during the time it took for Twist's
zealots to get to his base, for he was building two factories. At this point
Mind_Twist threw up an assimilator to start harvesting precious gas,
and he also built another gateway to fuel his war machine. Just as the
zealots reached Johnny's base, Johnny's factories were completed.
Mind_Twist ran his zealots around the threating bunker and started to
attack the mining SCVs. Johnny unloaded his bunker to attack the
zealots, but the marines died, while the SCVs attacked.

Zealots kill a couple marines before they are killed.

Things started to look badly for the terran commander, but 2 fresh vultures saved the day!

This attack having failed, Twist (sorry I can't bother to change the fonts
anymore =) built a cybernetics core->robo facility to get reavers. Johnny
expanded to his gimme, and put 4 SCVs a patch to get maximum
mineral income. Twist attempts a reaver drop, but is turned away by a
lone turret.




Here you will see Twist getting very frustrated with Johnny. Hehehe.....

Twist expands to his gimme, with a few dragoons+6 or so zealots.
Johnny runs in a bunch of vultures to lay mines in Twist's peon line
but, it did not turn out well for the commander of the terrans. As you see.

Vultures get caught up in a mess.

Johnny expands again, this time to the 5 o'clock spot, and then
proceeds to contain Twist with tanks,wraiths, marines, goliaths,
and turrets. Johnny surrounds Twist's base with tanks, and starts
to raze buildings from the low ground.

The wraiths give the tanks the full range of 12.

Them tax do gots some nice range :P

From here on, Johnny owned the game. Twist tryed a few times to do
some reaver drops on Johnny's exps, and it worked quite well, but
Johnny was controling the map extremely well. =) Twist kept trying
to expand, but every attempt was crushed. In a last ditch attempt Twist
sent a few zealots to attack Johnny's tanks.



But that met with little success.

Shortly after, Twist dropped, and Johnny claimed victory!

Lessons Learned:

1) Recon is key

2) Vultures rule

3) Johnny rules

Well that's it folks, this is my very first HTML BR so it might be wakked
up. I hope the images come out. C ya on Bnet! =)
