Ugh Montaro's skill is astounding. He is sooo cocky, but in a good way. Sorta like a certain super gosu writer that I know =] Great BR Mark, it was rather one sided, but your format, writing, WOW your hands down Godlike with these reports.

Nice report Mark. I know how u feel trying to find a decent game to BR :(, it's annoying.

The game was one-sided...but it was a good BR, once again.

Everytime I hear the name "Montaro" - my ears perk up... well, err...my eyes focus I mean. I am trying to think of some wicked ass comments to put about Montaro's level of play, but instead I think I'll start a little debate. For those of you who know who Montaro/Thor are, which of the two is better?
Heh

A short, sweet battle report to write about... hmm...

I've been part and parcel to a battle or two similar to this one, in which my opponent has me up against the ropes and all I've left to defend with is a rag-tag group of beat-up SCV's scurrying about. The feeling I get while this is going on is that I should've built MORE MARINES and LESS TECH. But hey, that age-old argument of tech versus mass is for another comment box.

Tonight, I feel a bit less witty than my usual self and that disappoints me- those who've sampled my selections elsewhere should know by now that I'm prone to typing on and on, and leaving you, Gentle Reader (hats off to Stan Lee there) scrolling down the text, hopefully getting a chuckle or two from my words of wisdom.

What I'm trying to accomplish by writing a bit more than the norm is to GAIN RECOGNITION! Yep, I'm unprincipled and I don't want anything else besides the attention of the BattleReports.com staff... yeah, ok, joke's over. I just like to ramble on, really.

Now that I've worked THAT crap out of my system, it's time to go read a longer BattleReport, or, more accurately, a report about a LONGER battle... =) I must admit, though, that this one was pieced together nicely, and it gives me an example of what not to do against 'Toss. However, it also begs another question: just how DO the 'Toss get so much so quickly? Seems like those Psychic bastards are just that: psychic! Am I really that slow? Is twenty-nine too old to be trying to keep up with the aforementioned ten-year-old Korean kid? Should I be put out to pasture?

I THINK NOT! I'm just tired, got another six hours of guard duty to pull tonight here on beautiful Fort Hood, and then tomorrow, perhaps, yes! I'll get on Battle.Net, and go try out that Vulture thingy I read about the other day! Yeah, groovy, Baby! GRRR!

Does spamming the comments section make you feel cool or powerful probe? Honestly dude when you proceed to spout cuss words left and right in some sort of mindless incoherent hyper tirade in which you attack everyone, especially those you don't know, it does nothing but exemplify your hopeless immaturity. Grow up. Or at least, keep your mouth shut.

Nice report Mark4.

I dont fucking see why the fuck should a 12 yrold should fucking wonder his little ass to this shitty site and find a fukin quote made by some fuking retard that says "fucking masterpiece" or something shitty like that . And so for br , too fucking much curses should get your shitty site get 16+ yrold only enterance couse u fucking know it has cursing all fuking over

even after i bitch and moan after thism you guys are still sticking your heads waaay up his ass, though.
and for your fucking information, i was requested by mark4 (on battle net at the time, we had just played a game) to go on the comments section on his latest report and "Grab some necks and pull". because "my report wasn't even that good, and they are still shoving their heads up my ass"
and "help me guys" - "i have 10 heads up my ass". those were the first 2 things he said after he reentered the channel, and upon people hearing he was back, immediatly shoved THEIR heads up his ass, as if they didn't read or comprehend anything he had just written.

fuck off, and stop being such close minded ass kissers.

Sometimes you just feel the need to report... I haven't put anything in for a while, and I felt it was time to do a nice little practice BR to spin myself back up. I personally think the report is about an 8...but I can definitely see a rater giving it a seven considering the older raters usually hold me to a high standard. Then again, if you liked the arrangement a lot, a nine isn't out of the question. I did mention to Probe he was welcome to go try and pull some heads out of my ass =]. After all, this is far from my best work. You just have to laugh at the little attack terrier when he gets going. I was literally chuckling out loud after reading his comments.=]

Oh, and TZ, if it was deleted, it was pretty low grade. No one is going to miss it. If it was one of your reports, keep in mind the staff reserves the right to delete any report in the bronze range without notice.
#33 the br it was not mine[47221]
backproxy.inter.net.il
but point is that reports posted by you for xample will not get deleted or badly rated becouse uve allready earned your respect mark , on the other hand I dont see why some I dont know who should post about his battle , and a rather intersting one I might say , about 1.5 pages typing and get it deleted after getting 3 (I think) .
On the other hand a qoute that has the work fuck in it is on the frontpage of a site that is mostly for 15 yrolds +- (thats the average age of a sc player) .

My only report was just posting metallica lyrics =)

You can potentially get a 7.0 from a great effort that has a few minor problems. Mark4's reports are always perfect in detail, well written, easy to follow, etc...

Instead of being happy that there's yet another report on BR.com featuring one of the world's most famous players, people debate whether this report is a 7 or a 9.

Mark4 has a great reporting formula going though, much like a great reporter has a practiced style to his columns... should the reporter be punished for being a PRO? NO WAY.

Because it was short, didn't reveal much new ground, and didn't do anything superhuman, it's not going to get a 9.0 or 10.0 overall, but it's clearly better than many of the 7.0 reports posted simply because it's perfectly presented.

That's why I'd give this report an 8.0

If you really are set upon clearing out the squatters who have taken up residence in your ass..heh ( a very noble goal ) Then I think you should play a game versus Proselyte so that I can report it. Either, Proselyte wins and your famedom goes down... or you win, my report sucks, and your famedom doesn't rise a'tall. It's a no lose situation! Sounds good? :o) Mail me Vinmail@aol.com and I'll set up the match! Heh.. I don't just report, I promote matches too.

I gotta agree with probe on this one. This was an excellent report of the game it was on, but if anyone else wrote it, it would get a 5-7 and the comments would be filled with "Try to find more interesting and longer games to report next time." Ass kissing maybe. I think it's the statue. :P

As most people have said, good job reporting the game, but I was disappointed that it was so one-sided. I was hoping for the Terran to pull through with a gosu SCV attack at the end. Oh well. I'd give it a 7.5-8.0 or thereabouts. Looking forward to your next one!
#51 Uhm no[47282]

This report didnt deserve the rating it got, 1 player totally dominated. He was dominating so much that at one point he sent all his probes to attack, then instead moved them back to base, yet still he was never attacked and had no ill consiquences. I'm sorry, the ONLY reason this report got rated it did is A) The rater is a well known member of your "community" and B) Featured "named" player(s). Favoritism gets a big 2 thumbs down from me.

------------------------------------------------------

not really ... it was interesting, i liked all the SCV attacking pics ... and the mini nuke, and the fact that montero was in it, but the fact that Mark4 wrote it, only inspired me to read it, cuz i havent read any of your previous reports ... anyways, i totally agree with spine, YRM has a good point but i agree with spine in that it should get a 7 or 7.5, not an 8 ... i think YRM is even giving it an 8 just b/c it was written by Mark, but dont listen to me cuz im just a single pixel on YRM's high resolution caliber. btw nothings perfect, not even Mark ...

If you look at the reports that have 8's and compare them to this report. This is one is just as good as they are. The only thing about this game is that it was short. I had a choice between 8 and 9 I wish I could give it a 8.5.

I went with the 9 because of the wonderful quality and format that Mark has. It is amazing. Mark4 made the game as interesting as possible. I do not see anything that Mark could have improved on, besides BRing a better game.
But Mark has done that already. So this in itself rounded my 8.5 up to a 9. Ko

You may be an annoying pig-headed retarded, but damn... I have to agree with your "words of wisdom". Face it Probe, we are human, and we are biased. Therefore, when we see one of our friends reports go up of course we naturally expect it to be good, and thus rate it higher. If I was a rater, I would give this a .... 7.5 if I could. Probably an 8 though because Mark4's writing is so clear. Heh, my postive comments are for probe today.

Keep pulling heads out of asses you immature nimrod. It's damned funny to read how you can get so angry about something like this.

Maybe a 7. Maybe an 8. I dunno. If you group with with Mark's other reports, it's certainly not in the better half of them. Not that it wasn't enjoyable to read all the same, but a 9? nuh-uh. I'd say a 7.
#70 Korang[47385]
win-mb1-16.netcom.ca
I dunno... There definitely is a bias within the raters, just as there imbalances in the game of SC. Some of us have chosen to live with the imbalances in the game. Others could care less. Some feel there is none. Then, there are the whiny losers who keep on using race imbalances as excuses to losing games.

This translates very well to the rating systems here, and like in SC, these race imbalances can be eventually weeded out and ultimately eliminated. I think providing more raters and having the raters not know who the BR's are by (some way or another, you figure it out. :P) would all help to further the cause. Also, I think that having 1/2 marks would make a very significant change. Notice how all the raters here were flip-flopping, generally between the 7 and 9 range, and because the godly Mark4 wrote the report, they gave him the benefit of the doubt in this case, and chose the greater of the possibilities, giving him the 8's and the 9's that you've experienced. <b>I think that the higher powers here should really consider implementing the ideas I presented to ensure equality and fairness amongst the site and its viewers.</b>

Also, I think there needs to be a greater specification towards what bases the reports are graded on. Should a garbage one-sided game still get an 8 or 9 because it was written impeccably without a flaw with clever smatterings of humor everywhere? Or, should a less-eloquent report get the same grade because the game was an intense, well-fought, well-executed one?

Naturally, a balance between these two points would be the best, but if it had to be biased to one side or the other, I'd personally favor the latter of the two. When I read a BR I like to see strategical execution at its finest, and when I desire such masterpieces I head for the gold section. I don't want to settle for a 2v2 on bgh with cannons everywhere or any crap like that. That's just sad. May be funny, but sad and not enriching in the least.

Casper's report was a true model of a great report. Very esthetically pleasing, well-written, humorous, but most importantly, it was a good game. It was 10 material. But alas, relative nobodies aren't able to pull 10's.

This is becoming a very long post so I'll cut this off now. Please remember and consider these words.

if i was to write this same report, there is no way it would get an 8 ... stop lying JV =[

btw, the only resaon it should get a 7 is cuz it was well written, and it starred Montaro, but thats not enough for an 8 =[

<font color=yellow>*Sigh* No one wants to see another Protoss beating up on a Terran. For the 999,999,999,999th time.

6.

Mark4 reports never fail to stir the masses.

This report was lacking the gold imo.

Hmm... I'd probably say 7.25 or so. Very good writing, but the subject wasn't worth writing about. Both players were clearly good and fought hard, but the Terran doomed himself with that early expansion, and the game was utterly one-sided as a result. If the Terran had pulled some godly strategy out of his ass and turned the game around, then it would have been worth reporting, but since he didn't (and frankly, I'm not sure what such a strategy would be), it wasn't.

Mark4 did the best job possible with the material he had, but you just can't make a top-notch report out of a smackdown like this one.

This isn't a ten because of the game itself, but very good presentation and clear writing can't be a 6. Sheesh:P

8!

um 6.5. I usually like mark's br's but this was too one sided ans short with no pics as stated bfore =P

the thing that acctually cranked up the grade was the fact that the game involved odd strats, like 2 cc
heh, never try that in a 1v1 on that level of gameplay =D

so sorry mark but you have to do better.....

I know that I cannot do better....well, I bet I could if I were to spend time writing one, but oh so much more fun to play :P

This pales in comparison to other reports I've read of this guy's. You get a 7, only because I learned alot from reading Montaro's strats on his site, and he laid the smackdown. I just wished he'd have been Terran and knocking some heads, but heh....

The Terran in this game was, of course, a foolio to go for the early expansion against a toss without first scouting him out well. Gotta get them tanks in there earlier to keep them sicko goons out of the home turf. He could have built the factory, then two tanks, and been able to hold off a good sized army (as we all know we turtling little terrans can), for awhile. Time enough to THEN build and float out the CC.

Mark, try to get Monty to go Terran against one of the toss greats.....I love seeing him crackin' toss skull :)

All this 'rating by commentors' shtick makes me vomitous.
It's not like the raters are paid by the hour or whatever. So just give 'em a break; truth is they get paid a modest fee in exchange for which they sift through the volumes of crap in order to help the site's visitors find more readable crap and the occassional great report. *Yawn

Thank God for me, Mark. Without me and a precious few others, there would be no one else but a bunch of drooling sycophants who would shout your praises no matter what you rolled off the assembly line. You would get sloppy and too comfortable on your laurels. Without us, the hard-nosed "reviewers," who are impartial no matter how famous you are among the SC community, you would not be pressed to put out fine material. I do not question your writing skills and your uncanny ability to bring a little humor and eloquence to almost anything, but as the wise Vatsyayana once said: "You can't polish a turd." And this is exactly what the one-sided game you reported on was. This one sounded like BRing for the sake of BRing. C'mon, Mark! Get the Eye of the Tiger back!

Heh, interesting comments section. Personally, I would agree with the sevens. Last.
