Lifetime Rating for ShadoweOrbe: 3.0000 |  | Well people, this ismy first report. Hope you like it, and id like to read your feed back.
Anyway, the game starts out on Lost Temple, with VESPENEGEYSER at the 3 o'clock position as teal Protoss, and SHADOWMAN123 (no relation) at the 9 position with yellow zerg, which I might add, is the 3rd best color for zerg, behind red and the best dark green, of course. (c8
The game open with both players talking smack. VESPENEGEYSER opens with a pylon blockade, and a couple of gateways, while SHADOWMAN123 decieds to block his ramp off with his 2nd hatch. it looks as if VESPENE is going to go for mass lots, and SHADOWS's strat is still unclear to me at this point. SHADOW desides to expand, while VESPENE stays with the mass lot strat.
Then the fun happens....
SHADOW desides to got for a spire, just as VESPENE goes and attacks with his zealots. The attack was sucsessful, and VESPENE destroyed the expantion with his lots. VESPENE continues to make lots, and tech up to high templar, wile SHADOW makes his mutas.
Running along the back side of VESPENE's base, SHADOW brings his mutas in, and attacks VESPENE's main base. VESPENE has expanded here, but it will be his last, as VESPENE opted for the leg enhancements, as opposed to a forge.
The mutas continue there assult, and in the words of good ol' J.R., "He can't fight back dammit!" yes, VESPENE is lost, and attempts to make some templar for psi storm, and merges some into an archon to stall. But SHADOW continues with the mutas, and even some goons cannot stop this relentless assult, as VESPENE has no more income.
SHADOW could have ended it here, but he desided to, in my words as I see it, humilliate VESPENE for talking smack. So, SHADOW builds some hatcheries next to VESPENES's main base, and proceeds to flood the area with sunkins.
In conclusion, it was a well faught battle. VESPENE's main mistake was not opting for cannons, goons, corsairs, or any other air defence. SHADOW took a bit of a gamble with the muta rushing, and I never saw him do any scouting, so it payed off. If VESPENE had gone for some goons, or got any air defence, then I believe the game could have gone either way, as most of SHADOW's base was a muta producer.
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
ShadoweOrbe

As you can see here, VESPENE is attempting to twart zergling advances with a pylon wall.
VESPENEGEYSER's first offesive is succsessful only in making SHADOWMAN123 angry.
