Team 1 : Blue, Necrosausage!! and Yellow, (;DOLONITE;)
Team 2 : White, Cyberstorm and Purple, Punisher (M.P)
Having spent 3 straight hours getting beat around like a rag doll in V-Tech and Armaggedon, I decided to come to (where else?) nohunters. I wanted to play Upgradedkakaru, and see how far I could push my luck. Instead of Kakaru, I find good ol' Necrosausage inside. He wanted to start match on Temple, but I protested, demanding that I observe. So the match is remade on Dark Temple, and we get started.
Skipping the lame intro, the battlefield reveals itself to me. Looking to the west, Necrosausage sets up camp and begins an all-too-standard 2 barracks build. I turn my attention to the east, and find his ally, Dolonite, starting with 1 gateway, a foge, and a pylon at Punisher's main. Methinks cannon rush? To the north, Cyberstorm readies a spawning pool, with gas soon after, and two sunkens. Finally, Cyber's southern ally, Punisher, follows the same early build as Dolonite.
After a short time, Necrosausage and Dolonite have enough marines and zealots to pull off what they hope will be a successful attack. Necrosauge orders his 7 marines to Punisher's choke, while Dolomite's lumbering zealots try to catch up. Necro gives the signal, and they both rush up Cyberstorm's ramp. As they advance, they encounter hydras, which retreat to the safety of Cyberstorm's 3 sunkens, one morphing.
Both of the attackers pull back, and the battle turns into a game of chicken. None of the 3 players send their units to the opponents attackers. During this little game of chicken, Punisher brings his zealots up his ally's ramp, and they rid Cyberstorm's base of the zealot threat. Necrosausage attempts to set up close to Cyberstorm's mineral line, but fails.
Things pretty much go quiet for a while. Cyberstorm is now building up a substantial lurker force. Purple is teching to reavers; he now has a robofacility. Necrosausage is close to building his science facility, and is sticking with medics and marines. Dolonite isn't focusing internaly as are the other players. No, while everyone else is building up, he is starting a network of pylons and cannons inside Punisher's main, starting with the pylon he warped in near the start of the game. Punisher is totally unaware of this for the moment.
Dolonite slowly advances his small group of cannons towards the heart of Punisher's main. This bold attempt is noticed by Punisher's choke-guarding zealots, and they attack the cannons. All of the structures are destroyed, but due to the setup of the pylons and cannons, purple loses more money in terms of zealots than yellow had invested in pylons and cannons.
Dolonite and Necrosausage see a wonderful oppurtunity to strike. Dolonite mobilizes his small zealot force, and Necro orders his mass of marines and medics to Punisher's choke-point. Combined, will the two forces be able to take out purple?
To Necro's and Dolonite's dismay, no...
Necro's marines are blocked by Dolonite's zealots. Punisher's units had a dual purpouse : keep them ocupied while the cannons fired freely, and deal out damage themselves. The fact that purple had forces coming from the north (the zealots that helped out white earlier) didn't help Necro and his ally either, not to mention white throwing lurkers in. If there is one thing going for Necro, it's the fact that purple's zealots are badly damaged by friendly fire.
3 damaged medics manage to escape the carnage, and flee to Necro's main. At this time, Dolonite establishes an expansion at his natural. White boldly heads to Necrosausage's base in plain sight of everybody. Blue prepares for the worst. He has one turret, and leftover marines. Will this be enough to stop white's lurkers?
Once again, no...
The lurkers wait for purple's zealots to distract the marines and medics, while white hurries them up the ramp and burrows them. All of his ally's zealots, as well as most of Necro's marines are ripped apart.
At the very same time, Punisher drops blue with a reaver. With no defense close to his CC, Necro is not capable of handling this on top the assault from the front. Punisher performs some decent reaver popping to avoid the scattered marines, and the lurkers pound on his buildings unmolested. Necrosausage concedes, but asks to stay in the game to see how it ends..
While this is happening, purple orders his upgraded shuttles to drop on Dolonite's natural. The shuttles bypass yellow's defense, and drops the reavers approaching from the cliff. Ths reavers touch down, and wreak havok among the probes. Dolonite's dragoons shoo off the reavers and shuttles, but not before suffering heavy peon losses.
After a failed attempt at this again, Punisher takes his shuttles over his natural's cliff, waiting for a good use for them. After recon reaveled to him that Dolonite created an expansion at the south-east island, Punisher sent his shuttles over. He drops the reavers, oce again wreaking havok among the peons. Dolonite had the oppurtunity to drop his goons on the cliff at his island to counter the reavers, but in the heat of combat, one rarely has time to plan such a clever action so quickly. The expansion quickly went down.
For Cyberstorm and Punisher, the time has come to lay waste to Dolonite. Cyberstorm has an enormous amount of hydras, and over 12 lurkers. Punisher readies his small army of templars and dragoons, which can level anything if microed correctly.
Cyberstorm srikes first. His massive force collides with yellow's few dragoons and many cannons, and the end result isn't pretty.
This is pretty much where the action dies down. Necro goes mad and starts killing kakarus (animal rights activist this guy sure isn't) and his own buildings, with a little help from Cyberstorm.
This is my first Br, and i think the images may not fit in the alloted space. A thousand apologies, but i'm 'experimenting' here. See you dudes on Bnet.
