Setting:
I was hanging out in nohunters when who should walk in and ask for a game but... shockwave. I, in a hopeless effort to become on of the "in" crowd, eagerly await this opportunity to show off. A two vs two is started where I promtly double-hatch, forget a spawning pool, and get run over like a newbie with his head up his ass...doh! Trying to regain SOME dignity, i ask for a rematch. As we all assemble for the rematch, my partner fails to show up. I can't blame him after the way i played =P. We insted decide to 1v1 with shockwave as an observer...
...this was the beginning of, as shockwave put it: "One of the weirdest games I have ever seen."
Chapter one:
Mi casa es su casa...
As the game commences and the fog of war lifts above my base, i send the drones to work on the rock. The shame of my prior loss burns like a hot poker in the back of my skull...i will not be embarrased again.
Badtzbadtz went random, so i get agressive and go fot a double hatch at my natural. I throw down a quick spawning pool and extractor...
...meanwhile, my overlord has reported no sightings at the 12:00 position. I send two newly hatched zerglings to the other two positions and slap down a hydra den. A quick death to the ling at 6:00 reveals marines at the ramp. Crap. I quickly shift gears and upgrade to a lair...Lurkers are coming...I morph two sunkens near my ramp (below) and start building a force of hydras and lings.
...all is quiet for a while...
...the silence pierces my brain, what is Badtzbadtz up to? I send another ling to investigate...SPLAT! he is slaughtered just outside of my natural, where a factory and e-bay are being constructed. I morph 3 lurkers and send my remaining force to deal with this invasion of my home. I am able to halt any constuction with my lurkers and make a few kills, but m&ms and tanks hold their ground...he is moving in for good.
Chapter 2:
Tanks everywhere...
Arclite cannons rip the very fabric of the air. He is slowly comsating and systematically destroying my lurkers...and my natural. He has already set up a turbo-newbie on me. Flames burn behind my eyes...i CANNOT lose in front of shockwave again. Normally i get comments from opponents that i smile (=P) too much, but this game it is all business. I quickly slap down a queen's nest and upgrade to hive... I am constantly pumping units, but his turbo newbie destroys my natural and leaves me with only my main. Suddenly more arclite rips the air. From the small island on the upper right of the map, a tank is hitting my gas! At this point I have almost no hope for winning, i have one source of minerals and no gas. I, however, never give up. I build 3 more hatcheries in my main base and upgrade adrenal glands and overlord transport with my remaining gas. I might not have gas...but i have minerals...
Chapter 3:
Tides turn...
As my hatcheries finish building, i start to pump cracklings like mad...i still don't know exactly why i did it, 'cause m&m rapes lings if there are enough marines. I guess i figured that with his extremely fast turbo newbies he might not have a lot of other stuff. As the lings popped, I sent them all at his base...about 3 control groups. The lings ripped through his small outpost at my natural...they ran...and ran..they ripped through his bunker and tank guarding his natural...his natrual falls...my hope rises...up the ramp they run ... faster...faster!...they start ripping through his main...more and more lings are made...some are loaded in the overloards to destroy his turbo newbie, others go to work on his main. Badtzbadtz sends his SCVs to aid his bunkers that are filled with firebats...half of his main is in ruins, and the other half is barely holding on...the tanks were slaughtered by the lings and the only thing left to guard is a bunker full of firebats, one or two wraiths, and some SCVs.
Chapter 4:
Exit badtzbadtz...
My tide of continual lings is too much, they slowly but surely destroy the base, all the while dying in mass numbers. My overlord spots my opponent's last ditch effort to expand on the bottom right island, and lings are dropped there to end the threat.
Badtzbadtz: "I can't beieve it"
::Nobody::: "Neither can I"
Badtzbadtz: "gg"
::Nobody::: "gg"
Badtzbadtz has left the game.
Epilouge:
This was almost a "you had to be there" game. It was one of the weirdest games i have ever played and one I probably should have lost. I still don't think i really proved myself to shockwave, but hey, life goes on. It just goes to show you:
1. if your opponent is super-fast, it is because they have left a weakness open.
2. Never give up, you always have a chance.
3. Sometimes blunt force can beat tactical fighting.
Thanx for reading! Please comment!
