well, the skill lvl was obviously better then your last report but still not quite up to par>< Very exciting game but everyone knows muta ling is ALWAYZ the best to go...especially considering hydras suck vs ling AND Muta. (both small so hydras do 50% dmg.) In fact...when u think about it...mutas pretty much rape every other zerg unit...so there is no reason not to get them:/ But like i said.. the game was very exciting and quite a turn around...especially since almost all the pics were of red winning:D
yea i reposted this comment here since i figured this would be the main thread>< |

This report had decent writing and pictures but it has a fatal flaw I feel, the game itself. This itself wouldn't have been such a problem if you hadn't hyped the game up and made the report revolve around it.
As I was reading the report and I came across the line "Infinity's army congo-lined into the enemy fire" made me think "Uh oh." The further along I read, the more convinced I became that this game wasn't what you tried to make it out to be. Losing the muta group against hydras, unsupported units, the lack of Nydus Canals, no scouting, and the sudden appearance of large armies and rapid techs contributed to this. For the large armies/techs something was going that you didn't mention such as lots of time was passing, relying on stored cash, or you weren't mentioning expansions and such (which it turned out to be).
I did notice other really minor problems such as homonym "bare/bear", directions don't have to be capitalized (not important), "in tact", etc.
The pictures were generally nice and the minimaps were helpful in understanding what was happening.
This report was a 6-7 to me. I'll say 7.
P.S. As I said in the other report, use fileread. Then you can just repair the targeted file instead of resubmitting. |

Hmm. I'd say 9 for this report.
But -2 for all the errors (spelling, grammatical, etc.)
+1 for the comeback though.
8. |

ooohhh this is nice.
Lets get to the cool part. Using time index on your pics and giving them cool names is the off the hook. It helps so much to explain the story to me. Especially when you have multiple pics.
Just that alone is good enough for 7. The added comedy is cute. when you do upgrade pics try using the units themselves it makes it more real for me.
What I really enjoy is showing me a game of a z vs a that is exciting, on a map that isn't popular, and god a FUN z vs z. Using all of the tech in a z vs z game... sometimes I don't care if the players are good or not, it's just fun as heck.
guards bwahahah guards and hydras are just SO BAD if you compare the cost of muta/ling. But man it's really fun in either case.
Negatives are basically what who'sgotlag.ido said.
But man those pics are just kick ass.. gogo reporting a slick game.

Personally I don't like the timed screen shots. Usually games don't last past 45 minutes so when you hit the 40 minute mark, I basically figured the person ahead was going to win. Its always nice to hope there is enough time left for the other guy to turn the tables. But thats just me.
ZvZ can be a good game to report on, but it always seems dull to me. Maybe its just because I hate Zerg so much. Even though Infinity is pretty good, look for better games. Yellow, or Ogogo are good Zerg users. Good use of photoshop. Jokes came off as cheese. Good Report though.

I also would like to know how Zerglings can have 1/2 upgrades well Hydralisks somehow have 1/3 at the same time. Did you place armor first or something?
Ok, sir spamalot will stop now. |

Umm i know u should bitch about ratings but in this case (and basically 80% of sc br's) i had to say something.
Seriously u guys are never satisfied with the actual games, and interestingly when someone like Z~L makes a br on a sc game, despite how well written and graphically sick it looks u never critiscize the actaul game he br'ed (usually staring himself or one of the fellow raters :)).
Now these guys seemed pretty good to me, and seemed better than most of the players in Z~L, whatever's br.
From the way WGL wrote his review i got the impression that he gave it a 7 because of the game more than anything else (spelling and grammar errors are pretty much always going to be there). Conflict of interest perhaphs???
Im not having a go at the raters but im just wondering why no one has ever mentioned this when it seems to be major decision in the rating of most ppl's br's. |

| This is pretty nice, and like Dag said, the pictures are excellent. I guess the only things I saw wrong with the game were the retarded use of dark swarm (you don't cast it over hydras when the enemy has lings, you do it when they have bcs or something to that effect) and red's sloppy gameplay in the second half of the game. It seemed like he took for granted that he had won after he destroyed the main, even though his opponent still had 3 exps. We all know that a zerg with three exps is dangerous. ;( The report, though, I thought was very good (for a z v z). |

| Good pics, very nice humour. Although I felt a little cheated when the report said purple got the upper hand after that small drop on red's base. Maybe it's intentional on your part to leave purple's rebuilding effort aside but i'm just a little bewildered how purple suddenly had a much bigger army. Aside from that it's a good report - an 8! |

I don't know how you did that build order picture, but it was incredibly cool.
I agree that the players sound pretty bad. It was like they switched roles after Infinity steam-rolled his opponent. All of a sudden Khawhoever was the one doing the attacks. This sounds like me playing on a particularly bad day. Wouldn't have been the first time lowlanders come back to bite me in the ass :)
The writing was decent, with a few errors easily fixed by a good proof reader. A new font would also be a welcome change (I'm one to talk, I've been using the same for like four years). I was hoping terrans would appear out of nowhere and start killing everybody, because terrans rock. Oh well, still a gg.
Nice job, 7.5
Oh, and dag, I believe one of those reports got a seven because of Dref's frustration with the last picture: "cuz I can't see her nipple." |

In respose to Smeagol,
Here is the thing, the game was close and intense, and involved several zerg spells including ensnare... meaning in some ways it was a good game to report.
However, this is not what the reporter sold the game as... he sold it as a gosu game.
If you are reporting a game of lower lvl, that is fine, but you should point out where players go wrong strategically.
That being said, I disagree with many of the above strategy posts. I believe that muta-ling (with some scourge) is a very strong strategy ZvZ. However it is not the only viable strategy. Tsunami proved that a well timed hydra-> lurker (to deal with lings)-->darkswarm, can easily own a muta ling. (weaknesses of this strat being lack of mobility and an oppenents ultra tech).
What the players did wrong (among other things) in my oppinion is they never got lurkers to deal with those pesky speed-lings, and never used plague.... plague OWNS mutas so badly as they bunch up a lot.
Anyhow, if you report a non-gosu game, don't sell it as one, people can easily see through that. |

Heh your right EMS :P
I dunno i just think that raters (no offence guys) seem to criticize the actual game to much, whereas with a well know br'er they dont seem to criticize the game much at all. |
