Lifetime Rating for Nychon: 6.0000 |  | Note: This is my first battle report so please be kind. I don't know any HTML, sorry. One might say I'm not the brightest person on de planet. Me got small brain?? All the images I used were edited with my limited Adobe Photoshop skills. As i learn more Adobe and HTML, my battle reports will get better and better. Now lets get on with this pooh.
Todays game is between Muffdiver007(funny name cuz how can u be covert when diving into some girl's muff??) and ~Epyon~. ~Epyon~ is my roommate in college who I feel is fairly good at Starcraft(not better than me though :P). On the other hand, I don't have a clue who Muffdiver007 is. The map is the infamous Lost Temple. For those that don't know, Lost Temple is a 4 player map with starting locations at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock and island expansion in the upper left corner and lower right corner. Each base has a natural close to the starting locations and a mineral only base close to the natural. Lets get into the game now!
~Epyon~: Red Protoss(chosen)
Muffdiver007: White Protoss(chosen)
~Epyon~ spawns at the 12 o'clock base and Muffdiver007 spawns at the 3 o'clock. ~Epyon~ goes 8-pylon, 10-gateway, 11-pylon, and 15-forge. Muffdiver starts off by going 8-pylon, 10-gateway, 11-gateway and pylon.
Each player makes a zealot and uses that zealot to scout the map. ~Epyon~ puts 2 cannons at the top of his ramp and Muffdiver007 blocks his ramp with 6 zealots. Each player finds the other's base with their scouting zealots. Muffdiver007's zealot is killed off by the cannons at the top of ~Epyon~'s ramp and ~Epyon~'s zealot is raped by Muffdiver007's 6 zealots. After this little dispute, ~Epyon~ makes a pylon below his ramp and Muffdiver007 adds a cybernetics core in order to make nukes(okay, dragoons). Each player continually makes zealots to keep their armies up to par. Shortly after ~Epyon~'s pylon warps in below his ramp he adds 2 cannons and a nexus at his natural. Feeling ready for battle, Muffdiver007 sends about 8 zealots to check and see how ~Epyon~ is doing. Muffdiver007's zealots encounter ~Epyon~'s quick expand attempt and they run by the 2 cannons that just warped in.
Muffdiver007's zealots quickly begin attackin ~Epyon~'s nexus until ~Epyon~ sends zealots down his ramp to fend off the attack. As the attack goes on ~Epyon~ warps in another cannon for extra defense incase a follow up attack is coming. Shortly afterwards, ~Epyon~ sends a little army consisting of 2 goons and 4 zealots to Muffdiver007's natural.
After this little scuffle Muffdiver007 sends a probe to the 6 o'clock starting location(hmmm..he seems gosu because only chobos take their natural first) and warps in a nexus. Let's take a look at what each player has added to their main base while the battle was going on.
Muffdiver007 seems to be taking the quick tech route as he has a robo bay, observatory and is warping in a robo support bay. ~Epyon~ is still keeping it simple(like my brain) and has added another gateway, a cyber netics, and begins warping a 3rd gateway. After ~Epyon~ builds an army of about six dragoons and 3 zealots he heads toward Muffdiver007's main. Except, on his way over he notices some probes wandering down to the 6 o'clock starting location. ~Epyon~ reroutes his guys to follow the probes so that they might see if the probes are going down there to party or if they are going down there to start mining some minerals.
As the picture shows, there was no party (which made me sad cuz I'm always in the mood for drunk naked girls) and a battle quickly ensues. Muffdiver007 blocks the ramp with some probes while warping in some cannons at the top of the ramp, but the probes die quickly. ~Epyon~ walks his clumsy goons up the ramp to finish off the base while Muffdiver007 sends some troops from his main base to halt the attack. The troops coming from Muffdiver007's main are slowed by ~Epyon~'s units that have been sitting there for the longest time. This allows ~Epyon~'s men to stop the cannons from fully warping in, destroy the pylon that was powering them and almost destroy the nexus before being defeated. Now lets take a look at their main bases again.
The only things added are another robo bay in Muffdiver007's main and an observatory in ~Epyon~'s main. Muffdiver007 also has a reaver and a goon at the top of his ramp for defense. With a break in the action Muffdiver sends a probe over to the bottom right corner, via a shuttle, and starts an expansion on the island located there. ~Epyon~, upset that he couldn't finish off Muffdiver007's 6 o'clock base gathers some men and sends them to the bottom of the map again(hopefully some naked girls will be there this time). Before ~Epyon~'s forces get to the bottom of the map let's take a quick look at the minimap so far.
~Epyon~ has his natural and Muffdiver007 has the 6 o'clock main and the bottom right island where he is morphing a cannon in for defense.
About this time, ~Epyon~'s little attack force is arriving outside of Muffdiver007's 6 o'clock base. All of his units gather at the bottom of the ramp before charging up it. Muffdiver007 has little defenses there and the base falls easily. Muffdiver007, not wanting to fall behind, sends a lone probe out to his natural and warps in a pylon and nexus simultaneously. Let's take a 3rd look at each players main base.
Muffdiver007 has added a templar archives while ~Epyon~ starts warping 6 or more gateways(Macroing is sooo fun brother). ~Epyon~ also takes this time to expand as he sends a speedy shuttle to the top left corner and begins to set up an expansion. However, Muffdiver007 has an observer sitting in this corner, and he quickly gathers some zealots in a shuttle and drops them on the island before the base can come online.
Losing his expansion attempt seems to piss ~Epyon~ off as he adds to more gateways for a total of 8 or so and begins pumpin mad goons out of them. As ~Epyon~ builds up, Muffdiver007 starts to develop his natural and builds some cannons and sends a reaver with goons and zealots for defense. It takes ~Epyon~ all of 2 seconds to get a large army of goons, which he gathers in the middle of the map. One goon sets up a little tent and roasts marshmellows while he waits for the others to arrive. After the other goons arrive they begin to walk toward Muffdiver007's natural. ~Epyon~ gathers all of his goons at Muffdiver007's mineral only base before engaging in battle. Muffdiver007 puts up the best fight he can with only one reaver, a couple cannons and some zealots, but he is quickly oeverwhelmed. Here's what Muffdiver007 had to say about the loss of his natural.
The natural falls soon and ~Epyon~ pushes his army of goons into Muffdiver007's main. Muffdiver007 says that he has observers all over the map and wonders how he could lose. Seeing the massive army and realizing that and effort to continue to play is futile, Muffdiver007 says "gg" and leaves the game.
Lessons learned:
0)How the hell does everyone have over 5 images when the website only lets u upload 5 images??????? Is it cuz u know HTML??
1)Constant scouting of each base is good
2)Not scouting is bad
3)Observers all over the map can't win u battles themselves
4)Drinking water all day makes u go to the bathroom all day
5)Aaaaaaand.......I'm spent.
Hope u enjoyed reading my attempt at a BR and I hope my small brain didn't mess things up too much. |
