The game was a 2v2 on Dire Straights.
Microman: Terran upper right
HornyPervert AKA-Khorne_wargod: Zerg bottom left
VS
HilbsTheZealot: Protoss upper left
AnonymousPartner(god damn my memory sucks): Protoss bottom right.
We had all chosen to go random so the gods of fate had chosen for the might of the protoss to go against the filth of the terran and zerg empires.
I went for a double hatch to double lair build for early dropping capabilities with hydras. I also built a couple of sunkens to cover the rear of my peon line.
Microman went triple factory before starport with several turrents and an overlord of mine to cover his base for detection. His main plan was goliaths.
According to Microman our plan was to expand and deny expansions.
I am not sure about the orders of our opponets, for obvious reasons. But Anonymous had originally went sairs then changed to zeal/temp/archon after he saw I was going hydras and Microman was going goliaths. Hilbs went reavers mostly.
The first action of the game is when my first three hydras were made and a corsair from Anonymous came over to pop ovies. I wasn't to happy about his plan however and he retreated from the 'green vomit of doom' of my hydras. I had sent a hydra to Microman's base and the same sair attempted to kill it. The last minute construction of 2 turrents and 3 goliaths killed it before it could kill my friend the ovie, Bob.
At this point both my ovie speed and transport were done so I took two ovies each filled with 3 hydras and 1 drone to try to expand to bottom center and small left center. There were already pylons warping in at the bottom isle and my 3 hydras attempted to kill the expansion by themselves. Needless to say when a reaver and 2 zealots from Anonymous were dropped on an island my hydras died. I did manage to secure the small left isle and soon had a hatchery morphing(or whatever they do). I also morphed in 2 evolutionary chambers for upgrdes. About this time range finished and i started on speed.
Hmmmm.... So far the game was around even. I and Anonymous managed to start expansions and everyone was building up forces. Hilbs decided to end this peaceful time be dropping two reavers on my newly finsished expansion. I had about 3 hydras already there, which immediately died from scarabs. Hilbs started killing the hatchery when i dropped 12 more hydras on the reavers. I managed to kill them with 3 hydras remaining. I built 3 sunkens that covered the whole island to prevent future reavers.
At this time Anonymous made an expansion at bottom middle. Also Hilbs tried to make an expansion at upper middle. Me and Microman dropped goliaths + hydras on it. When reavers came to defend i believe that some were shot out of the sky by goliaths. I just finished 1/1 and started working on 2/2.
At around this time me and Microman each dbl expanded to the big center isles. Then Anonymous and Hilbs dropped around 4 reavers, 4 temps, 2 archons and 12 zeals on the bottom right of my isle. They attacked and I started dancing; dancing like i never have before. I quickly seperated the hydras more so they wouldn't get hit by as much splash and i started dancing a few in to kill templar. The reavers/temps started working me over and I barely hung onto life with them having 2 zealots and a couple reavers left. The reavers however were a distance away. They started walking when Microman's goliaths dropped and killed them.
At this point in the game the mains about mined out and i had 3/3 about halfway done. Microman had 0/0 aparently because he decided to cancel to pay for something than forgot. Team Hilbs launched another attack on my main dropping 6 reavers, 8 temps, 4 archons, and 12 zealots. I had about 40 hydras to defend. Microman immediatly started going to my base as my hydras died in droves to the temps/reavers. After all my hydras died only the reavers were left. Microman dropped on them with 12 goliaths and had a curiously easy time defeating them. Soon after this was over Microman caught some shuttles passing around my isle with goliaths and managed to kill 2 of them.
Me and Microman got our forces together (i did have 5 hatcheries). We dropped about 20 hydras and 12 goliaths on the bottom middle isle, which was controled by Anonymous, after a tank cleared away the cannons on the perimeter. At about this time Team Hilbs decided that I was too gosu (yeah right) and dropped some archons/temps/reavers/zealots on Microman's main. This time it probably would have worked on me too because all of our forces were at bottom middle. Microman floated his buildings away to the big left center isle.
About now microman had to leave. Then Hilbs declared Microman got pissed and we dropped about 20 goliaths and 40 hydras on Hilbs mined out main. He had no forces their and we proceded to ravage his base. Hilbs dropped 4 reavers to try to stop us but he had only enough money for a few scarabs. Anonymous left the game seeing as how he had no resources. The game was won by team MicroedPervert and there was much rejoicing.
LESSONS
1. Hydras can be effective vs reavers/temps if you can dance.
2. Goliath Thunder needs those upgrades (bad Microman bad, he had 0/0)
3. You can play an all land game on an isle map.
4. Psy storm rules! owww my hydras.
5. Those scarab cost can pile up.
6. You must expand otherwise it'll cost you the game if the game is longer then 5 minutes long.
7. Don't mess with me and Microman.
