Welcome to my backstabbing report on BGH. In the SC world, many strategies had been invented and used repeatedly for three years, and now it is not as fun as it had been before because I had been doing the same thing over and over again: build peons, more peons, more peons, build peons, build peons, etc.... Well you got the picture. Many of my RLF quitted SC long ago, because they are getting bored of this repeating pattern. Meeting many starcraft friends online was the only thing that still tied me to this game; although recently it has been also getting boring for me too. I had been trying new strategies and tested them out in the BGH newbieland. Things such as mass firebats against hydras, d-web cannon combo, mass matrixed SCV drop, and ..., well you got the picture.

These new strategies were fun in the beginning, but along with many other real strategies, it gets boring after a while too. I began to look for different type of playing style on BGH. It was difficult to come up with anything new until my roommate stepped in. Before we get into a new set up, let's do a brief introduction on him. My roommate Eric and I had been playing starcraft since three years ago, but unlike me, he did not enjoy as much as I did and quitted a while ago. He plays only once a while now and mostly on BGH, and rarely on lost temple against pubbies. His record was quite good, with about 700 wins and 300 losses, which made every BGH newbies think he is godly. We usually play BGH together and backstab our partners for the easy wins (thus his record).

There was this one day he stepped into my room and asked if I want to play. I wasn't doing anything particularly important at that time (only some homework due the next day, but who cares) so I agreed. I immediately logged onto Battle.Net and create a new nickname: A_Backstabber. I tried to create several games under this name, but there were some smart newbies who left the game right after they join. So I had Eric to create a game and named it "3v3 BGH! KP!" and as usual the game was immediately filled. I joined a little late as I was the 4th person in the game. Before I could say anything, he started the countdown and announced it was TVB, with him and I on different teams.

My team:
Terran (me)	Blue	Top left (11)
Zerg	Orange	Bottom right(4)
Protoss	White	Middle left(9)
Eric's team:
Zerg (Eric)	Teal	Middle right (3)
Zerg	Brown	Top middle(12)
Protoss	Yellow	Bottom middle (6)

The game began smoothly, and strangely the lag was only moderate. As a BGH symptom all five players started to change the latency to extra high. I simply type F10-O-N-L and continue my game. Of course this goes back and forth as they tried to set it back to extra high until my patience wore them off. Until then I started allying my partners, and as my standard BGH strategy, I visioned everyone and asked who my allies were. "FU NEWBIE!" "hey stop allying me you retard!" "OMG blue is such a fucking dumbass" "shit I got a newbie partner" started flying across the screen. My reply was much simpler: "blacksheepwall"

During my amusement I noticed that my partners were a white protoss and an orange zerg, with me random to terrans. Also scouting revealed that my enemies were a protoss and two zergs, with my roommate being one of the flying bag owner. While I was busy figuring whether I should go for mass firebats, mass vultures, or mass vessels, one of our zerg foes disconnected in a manner way, leaving my "team" with 2 opponents, and one of them is my roommate.

Feeling confident now with one less enemy, one of my partners suggested hitting the protoss with our forces: 5 zealots, 6 hydras, and about 20 marines. This triple on the protoss faced about 6 zealots and a dragoon, ... and 6 cannons, right at the choke point of his main base. And of course, as a sign of newbies, his military units were about half a screen away from his cannons and were dispatched quickly by our combined forces. His cannons were harder to kill, since they were placed behind 3 gateways, making our troops very difficult to reach them.

Nonetheless, they were not enough to stop the combine might of zerg, protoss, and a terran, and all his cannons and gateways were destroyed while there still remained 5 marines and a hydra. Now Eric announced publicly that he would save him, by sending a dozen hydras, and easily overpower our remaining troops there. However the drama did not end here; as my roommate's hydras finished off our last troop, he started focusing fire on the nexus of dying protoss! 12 hydras can kill a nexus fast, and fast it did! So in the protoss base remained a forge and a gateway, along with several random pylons hiding at the back of his base.

Eric: "Ops sorry wrong click."

Now my innocent partners were not satisfied by our attack intercepted by Eric, and decided to hit him instead. 6 zealots and 8 hydras did not do well against 3 sunkens and about another dozen of hydras, while my marines march in a single file line focusing fire on a hatchery behind sunkens, only to be decimated by hydras and sunkens without halving the hatchery hitpoints.

My zerg partner: "wow teal you're good." (teal is Eric)
Eric: "yeah I'm very very good"
Me: "eat a dick newbie"

In order to speed up the game pace, I told my partners to rally their troops to the center so we could reinforce each other quicker, and with my vision my roommate noticed this quickly. 6 overlords of "random zerg crap" unloaded at my zerg partner's base, decimating many structures and drones before he could rally his forces back to his main in order to save himself. Luckily for him the only important destroyed structures were a lair and his pool, and he already had an expansion up at his natural so his economy was still going. Meanwhile I expanded to three other resources nodes and built up to about 20 barracks in my main base as my "rine farm", filling almost every space available there. All my marines were rallied to the middle of the map, along with my partners' dragoons and hydras.

Soon my zerg partner suggested that we should eliminate our protoss enemy soon; according to him, the previous unsuccessful attack on him could bring us bad luck. We wholeheartedly agreed, and several dozens of mostly marines, dragoons, and hydras charged into the deserted protoss base, facing a massive army of...... one zealot, a gateway, a forge, some pylons and some probes. Nope there wasn't a nexus. He was unable to rebuild his nexus after my roommate killed it! I guess that building pylons at random places had dried his resources to rebuild. So 8 dozens of random things duel with one courageous hero zealot, and I could hardly imagine with what the zealot corpse was filled.

While this was happening Eric dropped another loads of hydras into my zerg partner's base causing trouble, although his main base was well defended by massive numbers of sunkens. It was merely a sign to start our plan. I quickly unallied my protoss partner while the zerg was distracted at his main base. He reacted quickly too, and unallied me after about 8 dragoons went down. About 4 dozens of marines and 2 dozens of dragoons were battling out while the hydras were shooting at the defenseless probes!

Unfortunately my marines were not accompanied by medics, and his dragoons overpower my marines, but not before most of his dragoons were shot down under gauss fire. This hideous act was not the main plot though. When my marines and dragoons were battling, I called my zerg partner to his attention that the protoss was backstabbing me! I convinced him of this when my last marine fell in the battlefield and as a general rule of thumb he was sympathetic with the losing side, and secretly agreed that the protoss was backstabbing.

With 20 barracks at home a sizable army can be summoned into the battlefield quickly. The remaining dragoons tried to return to their main base, but they were turned into a pile of blue goo in the middle by my marines. I tried to charge into the protoss base with marines in a 3ltt3l single file line again, but his defensive position allowed his dragoons and cannons to pick off my marines one by one quickly without much return fire. This pathetic attack strengthened my zerg partner's belief that our innocent protoss partner was indeed backstabbing, and he would help me as his "friend". He pretended to help him to defend his dragoon-filled base by sending 2 dozens hydras while my marines walk in the front door. Again my marine army was easily dispatched, but not before all the hydras were positioned around his cannons and dragoons.

The inevitable scene came shortly when a simple unchecking on the ally box resulted in a very unpleasant scene. Green spines were flying all across the protoss base soon after my marine died, destroying most cannons and dragoons in matter of seconds. The poor protoss could hardly defend himself from yet another backstab, and started to taint us all with curses and sexually abusive languages. When my 3 dozens of marines started charging in again, there still remained about 10 hydras pounding at random protoss structures, and the protoss realized the situation was hopeless and promptly quitted the game instead of watching his base fell before his trusty "partners."

Noticing this great opportunity, I again unally with my last zerg partner and my marines started shooting at his hydras, which were shooting at the dead protoss structures for points. Before he noticed this treacherous act I told him "Let's duel."

He didn't have a chance but to accept the duel, since my marines began charging into his natural expansion. He realized that he couldn't hold off the marine horde, and began begging:

"no no no duel! I thought we are friends."
Me: "yah friends duel too."
"can we ally at end?"
"ok sure you are my friend"

Without lurker or guardians or ultras as infantry killers, the zerg base quickly fell to marines. I left his last hatchery remain intact when I allied him back. I also gathered 12 vultures and rallied them to his base. He was actually very happy that I kept my promise allying him at the end, and he was trying to convince Eric, who was sitting there laughing his ass off at my skill of backstabbing a backstabber, to ally victory so we can all get a win! And Eric was trying to act nice by saying "Okay! This is a good idea!" "Let's ally" Joy and tears started pouring off from the zerg's eyes when he could hear vultures shooting. Not at his hatchery, but at each other! That's right, I order all my vultures to shoot against each other right beside his last hatchery by selecting all vultures to attack one, and deselect one and shift queue them to attack another, and so on... I started screaming:

"hey orange wtf do you do to make my troops hitting each other?!"
"shit you're making my units backstabbing each other!"
"gawd STOP IT!@@#$%^"

Of course, the zerg was very confused as to why my vultures were terminating their brethren, and I responded outrageously "DIE YOU ZERG BACKSTABBER!" and send my marines forces surrounding his hatchery while he was asking for mercy. Now it is time for Eric to come in with a screen full of overlords swarming on top of his hatch, and only 4 hydras were unloaded and shot at the hatch. There were so many overlords that no one could really see the hydras underneath them. Eric started screaming "My overlords are PISSING on your hatchery and they won't stop!" "Stupid drunk overlords."

And of course, those 4 hydras kill the hatch with relative ease.

Back in our private channel Eric and I was laughing hard when the zerg messaged me:
"why do you backstab me you asshole"
"We told you this is KP. 3v3 BGH! KP!"
"what?"
"KP!"
"Korean pride? you huking KOREA? KOREA SUCKS. Fucking KOREANS"
"No KP is not Korean pride"
"Shut your hole u KP trash"
"KP! ^^"

He never figured out that KP means "kill partner."
