Lifetime Rating for [r]DreadNaught: 4.2857 |   | The battle began with a few quick odd comments but quickly got on its way. Maybe you should know the back ground to the battle before I tell you what happened.
It all began when !Pain decided that he was good enough to take on two [r]ebel players, myself and [r]Archon, he failed at this, he failed big time. So he requested a rematch with me and I agreed since I never turn down a challenge. He beat me with a zealot rush that i was not prepared to defend against, what a bummer. So [r]Light, the clan's leader, decided he would like to fight !Pain, !Pain agreed. And so the battle began.
The match was to be fought on Lost Temple, as so many battles are. !Pain started off as Terran (teal) and built only one barrack and a bunker before switching over to tanks and vultures. [r]Light did much the same thing by building a few gateways, 2 or 3 zealots, then mass dragoons.
!Pain is the first to expand and quickly sets up a heavy spider mine defense around his natural expanse. It is at this time that [r]Light decides to attack with 12 or so dragoons and a few zealots. Unfortunately for [r]Light, the tanks that sat above !Pain's expansion ripped the dragoons to shreds with minimal losses.
A little upset, [r]Light begans work on dark templar and shuttles. He quickly loads his first four dark templar into a shuttle but in route to !Pain's base, [r]Light discovers a massive offensive of tanks heading towards his base. [r]Light quickly unloads the dark templar and chases the tanks and vultures all the way back to !Pain's base, but he dares not enter, knowing that spider mines cover the ground. So [r]Light lifts the dark templars up once again and drops them into !Pain's base. This attack is devasting as [r]Light destroys depot after depot and a starport, bunker and turret. !Pain, with no mobile detector, must turtle his way to the dark templar using turrets and mines, but this tactic eventually rids the base of its attackers.
[r]Light uses this period of recovery to build his first expanse at his natural as !Pain builds his 2nd at the mineral only area just north of his main base. [r]Light quickly takes out the poorly defended base. 15 tanks clear the area and allow for !Pain to set up a base. [r]Light begans work on carriers as he discovers yet another expansion of !Pain, this one on the island to the east of !Pain's main base. 2 shuttles, 1 observer, and 4 dragoons later, this new expanse is gone.
!Pain uses comsat to quickly analize his opponents defense and with the aid of science vessels, heads off toward [r]Lights base with an army of 20+ tanks. The tanks are set up into siege mode and with the vessels to spot for them, lob shell after shell into the enemy base. With the ramp clear, the tanks proceed upward. It is at this time that the carriers are finished, within 3 minutes the tank offense is halted but its too late for [r]Light, losing his expanse was too big a loss and he knows he is defeated, but, all the same, [r]Light plans on killin as many of them terran guys as possible. The 4 carriers began to wreak havoc on !Pains expansions. Too bad for [r]Light that !Pain saw the carriers commin and built 5 starports around his base. 12 wraiths destroy the fleet and [r]Light is forced to concede.
