"Probe fit the requirements perfectly because he was loud, mean, and obnoxious."

The Game Begins
Wisecrack chose zerg for the bout. Reznor stayed with random.
As it commenced, Wisecrack finds himself with his zerg at the bottom right, and reznor was left with the terrans in the top right. Reznor, knowing his opponents race, goes with a supply-barracks-barracks-supply build order. Wisecrack on the other hand, NOT knowing his enemies race, elects to go for a spawning pool on 9, hatchery at his gimme mineral onyl expansion later, all followed up by another hatchery at his ramp. Both players then decide now would be a good time to scout, so reznor sends out 1 scv going to the top left, while wisecracks newly hatched pair of zerglings are split up to have one go to the top left, and another to the top right (Wisecracks beginning overlord scouted bottom left and found nothing there). Wisecracks zergling finds nothing in the top left, but his zergling going to the top right runs into 3 marines and the zergling is quickly purified. Wisecrack now knows that reznor is terran.
Reznor has put up an acadamy by now and is ammasing marines and medics. Wisecrack is putting sunken colonys at his natural, and has since started on the collection of vespene gas. Reznor has 12 marines and 2 medics, with stimpacks researched. He takes off down to the zerg base, and meets at the start of the bridge heading into the colony. He stims, waits a second or two to let his marines heal, then runs into the sunken colonys. About 4 marines die before all of the marines are down holding position and unloading gauss fire into the sunkens. 3 more marines die before 2 sunkens are down. Finally the last sunken falls, with 3 marines left standing. They start shooting the nearby drones and kill them off before the marines are ovverun by zerglings.
Wisecrack licks his wounds and morphs some more drones into sunken colonys. But.. during that attack, wisecrack managed to sneak in an expansion to the bottom left resource node. Wisecrack now has a lair and a hydralisk den. Reznor is continuing to train marines and medics, and now has about 18 marines and 4(?) medics. Again he marches down to that same bridge, stimpacks, and charges into the sunken colonys and zerglings. 2 hydralisks morph into lurker eggs in clear view of the marines, so they start to attack one of the eggs. As soon as the lurker hatches, it dissapears because it was killed in the hatch animation. THe other gets to burrow with 30some hitpoints remaining. It immediatly starts shooting spines at the marines, and kills 3 and a medic before the M&M run off. The hatchery was destroyed, but wisecracks expansion at the bottom left is well underway now. Reznor comsats around, but because the observer map is filled with map reavealers, I don't see the terrain being revealed. About this time Reznor decides to further increase his mineral production, and takes his natural mineral only expansion.
A force of M&M from Reznor take off to wisecracks bottom left expansion. As the marines and medics are traveling down there, they mustve killed a scouting zergling too fast for me to see, because suddenly wise crack morphs 2 hydralisks he has down there into lurkers, and sends 8 zerglings from his main base, and 2 more lurkers from his main base down to his expansion. The zerglings, being much faster than the lurkers, suicide into the marines and medics and die quickly. For some reason , wisecrack moved his lurkers he was sending there back to his base, then changes his mind at the sight of the M&M swarm and sends them back again.
The marines get up the ramp and are stationed a few paces outside the range of Wisecracks overlord view. His lurkers he was morphing finish, and he burrows both of them next to his hatcheries. (Wisecrack has no sunken colonys at this expansion) The marines are then reinforced by 2 siege tanks. Wisecrack has also started a hatchery at the bottom middle expansion as well. Now, as I have almost completley forgotten this battle in the game, I cannot tell you exactly what happen ! I DO remember the mighty force of 8 queens or so coming in and broodlinging all the tanks, 2 scourge killing the vessal, and some hydras n lurekrs raping the rines. Oh wait, that was the battle wasn't it? Doh. Ok, on to the report.
Now that Wisecrack has 4 expansions to Reznors 2 (His natural and the top middle gas/mineral expansion) wisecrack gets a bit more wise. He has Defilers Mound and a Greater Spire. Wisecracks ground troop upgrades are: level 2 hydralisk attack, level 3 carapace, level 0 melee weapons. Reznors ground troops upgrades are: level 2 infantry weapons and armour, level 1 ground vehicle armour, and level 2 ground vehicle attack. Wisecrack then sends a large force of hydralisks, defilers, and zergling to the top left area of the map. He consumes some zerglings, then dark swarms the area outside of Reznors bridge, leading in to his 2nd expansion.
The hydralisks slither into the orange cloud, and quickly demolish the bunker and turret defense. Dozens of hydralisks attack the M&M and tank defenders, with more swarm being cast, irradiate glowing, ensnare gooing, and broodlings scratching. Reznor says "good game" at this point. Reznor dosn't leave though, and fights till the last marine.
