Hmm... looks kinda weird with that white background... all to cover my energy-lacking non-existent masking, of course. And if you're wondering about the comment "/GIFanimated Nuke?/", let's just say I decided against it (i.e. I haven't got a clue and/or program)

Still, at least the pics came out :) OK for a second attempt, isn't it?

First non-author comment! Woohoo! =)

Well, I kinda realised that HM > early Toss expansion ever since Orc Maniac ran me over a while back =/

This report was too one-sided. That's the only thing that prevents it from being really good.

Finally a report of me winning a game for a change.. woohoo! Nice report Rumple!

BTW I picked terran, I didnt random to it. And your right I coulda killed him faster. I was just being careful.. hehe I spent a lot of micro containing him at his ramp. I figured with 4 expansions to his zero, I'd win no matter what he did.

Just wanted to say that the top middle, bottom middle, left middle, and right middle are not starting points.

Good report tho



#7 (fjwilson.reshall.uc[17819]
Great report, but I must say I've had success early expanding vs. Heavy Metal. It just has to be a REALLY early expand. Seriously, it works.
#8 Fractal_Wave (proxy1.gvcl1.bc.wave.home.com)[17822]
This report is damn funny. Me likey. Poor Snow, losing to Johhny's Nukes. Cheer up SNow. you can always pound on my zerg whenever you want.

Rumple (i refuse to call you rump:), this is an excellent report. I like your style.

All the best,
Fractal_Wave

As JV said, he took terran.. he said he wanted to play a "good" toss player. (apparently I fooled him in two 2v2 games where I teamed with him earlier where I played EXTREMELY well)

Well my race is terran.. I'm not very skilled at protoss.. and heavy metal always kills me. So I thought I'd try an early exp and see how that worked out. Maybe I should have took a different base that was further away, but my plan was to build gateways and stuff there and justrally troops from my main to my exp, and use it as a staging area. But we'll never know because Johnny got that bunker up. ;) (I saw it JUST as it was completing - doh!)

Against heavy metal on Rivalry, I'm going to try early expand again. I just know if I play it normally out of one base, I get spanked. As Heartcutter has said, you'll fall flat on your face many times before achieving something worthwhile..so who knows?

Oh, and 1 fbat > 8 probes. sniff. Man, I need to get in a BR where I *win*. :)

Ghosts in bunkers outrange cannons? Ye gods, I didnt know that!
#17 Rumpelstiltskin (pop-got.netlink.se)[17884]
D'oh, JV switched from Random to Terran and I missed it... I thought he was truly gambling. Guess I'd better keep my eyes peeled next time.

And about the "-p" thing, this is a mistake on my part. It was originally just a "-" as in "This isn't just ill advised - it's plain losing." I wanted to use the extra long hyphen (is that how it's spelled?) and used the "alt"-key. It worked on my machine, and I didn't spot it when I previewed the report. If anyone of the admins feel like it, feel free to replace every "-p" with a plain old vanilla "-"... oh, you can remove that comment about an animated Nuke-GIF too while you're at it ;)

Thanks for the great ratings and comments, everyone! Warms the cackels of my heart, it does. Want to write another report, I do. Stop talking like Yoda, I must.

Snow, I'd be delighted to write a BR where you win. I'll be looking for you in nohunters. In fact, I'll be looking for all of ya!

Oh, and thanks to Mark4 for giving me the idea for the 8-probe drop. ;) It was hilarious from my end although I'm sure Johnny wasn't amused. Sad but true fact: I think I killed more units with probes that game than I did with actual melee units.
#19 Homie_Vegas (staff-8.ahnet.net)[17915]
Mad Props to Snowie' foh using da' 8 probe drop on mah ass.. Sheeeeit.

Yo :) Typo in Lessons learned
I told JV to macro instead of micro:) not other way around:).

T_mac said I am god? Why? I thought he didn't like me :) Oh well, guess not ^_^.

-=DarkHawke=- HMT = 8-1. :).

Props to HC for teaching me a <i>very</i> nice trick, if you wanna know what it is, play toss vs my terran :)

Nice BR. I must say, but next time, br me :).

The one loss on my HMT = vs Nexos when she was trying when I was afk ^_^, sigh, she's good anyways. Best NH female player. Better than Annie47 or Cathrine47 also.

Bleh, latez all.

Great battle report, best one I've read in a long while; great detail kept it going strong. I'd give it a nine if only I could find out how to rate this thing.... =)

good except for the "Toss owns terran" sarcastic remark, what are you a moron? No one game can prove or disprove imbalance; it's from hundreds of games that you can draw your conclusion. And my conclusion is that on LT, protoss own terran and terran have a small advantage over zerg.

I want to say that balance is defined as no advantage by race-matchup with players at equal skill, but Brood War has put a lot of luck into the equation too.

On many maps, Brood War is near balanced. I feel on River Styx and Hunters it is close to balanced, except when zerg draw a no-gas exp, then they have trouble with terran
