A 3 way FFA on Winter Conquest
Yes the day was bright and beautiful on the digital plains of battle.net. The sun was shinning, the birds were chirping and in the air there was the unmistakable aroma of...cheese. Dirty, nasty, fermented curd in the form of fine aged newbie. Yes the talk of a cheap 6 pool rush had blazed across the screen. An angry Major_Pains berated the cheap tactics of newbie formerly known as Deep_throat. (By the way its not just a clever name.)
Major_pains demanded a rematch with the vile rusher and I could not help but to involve myself in this little match. I offered my BR services to partake in this ass whooping and organized a FFA on winter conquest. Before we began our match attracted the attention of I_SUCK. All challengers agreed to the bout with Deep_throat choosing zerg, Major_pains choosing terran and I_SUCK choose to random.
Deep_throat morphed a hatchery at 1, Major_pains landed his center at 11 and I_SUCK's center desended upon 6. All began with a peon build with, much to my surprise, Deep_throat spawning a pool on 6. Major_pains and I_SUCK would be cautious and both elected to build a depot/barracks/ bunker wall-in to prevent the early rush.
Deep_throat had sent his first ovie clockwise and a second counter-clockwise to scout his rush victims. He found Major_pains first and immeadiatly sent twelve lings running towards the 11 main. Major-pains spotted the ovie and expected an attack. He pulled three scv's from his lines and waited for an attack. He had a barracks and a depot at his wall-in with a bunker at 50%. A total of five marines waited for the inevitable. Today however, fortuned smiled upon Major_pains and his bunker completed before the lings arrived. Deep_throat was very disappointed as his lings stopped running to make snow terrans in the freash white powder. When the lings did arrive they were greeted by four bunkered marines and three more who waited in the cold wondering why paper beat rock. The ling army charged up the ramp and was met by guasse fire. They clawed away at the steel but the scv's were reparing them faster they they could inflict damage. The rifles took their toll and only three lings were able to haul ass back to home base. The marines gave chase and followed the zerg back to their cerebrate. Deep_throat was able to hatch 6 more lings and threw down two sunkens before the terrans arrived. Major_pains saw the sunkens and retreated his men to the bottom of Deep_throats ramp. An scv was sent to build a bunker along with three more marines.
While this was going on, I_SUCK was able to tech and expand unmolested. He now had a factory, a bay, an academy, and had taken his natural. As Major_pains was walling in Deep_throat, I_SUCK had built a third command center and was floating it to the southern center "island" expansion. Tanks began to roll of the production line and a starport and a armory began construction.
By now Deep_throat was in trouble. For a zerg player he had the smallest amount of units on the field. He had only a pool and one hatchery. The situation called for action. He morphed two hatcheries, a chamber and a den. He began mass hydra production as soon as the den finished. Next, he morped two lairs and began ovie upgrades and lurker aspect. Major_pains on the otherhand made a very bad move. He expanded to his natural which was good but he skipped major tank production and went straight for air. Why is this bad? Little did he know but four tanks and a small MMF combo or even a MM combo could have destroyed Deep_throat. At that point in the game. He still had a low troop count on most of his troops were hydralisks. Tanks own hydra much like paper owns rock. Sadly, this fact eluded Major_pains and he began heavy wraith production from three starports.
By now the game is roughly a half hour old. I_SUCK has still not been attacked. The southern center "island" is now heavily defended by sieged tanks, turrets and bunkers. Those tanks now can rain down unimaginable destruction on any passer by. With three heavily defended expansions, I_SUCK switches gears and orders the construction of three more starports and three more armories.
Back at zerg central the teching continues with the morphing of a spire and a nest. A large army of hydras and lurkers rise from the creep and begin a march to the ramp. Two marine filled bunkers and a lone tank guard the ramp exit. The terrans are overrun as row upon row of hydras spill onto the ice. The tank unleashes one shot before being blown to smitherines. The marines unload their rifles as well as their bladders as the swarm consumes the bunkers and its occupants. The zerg enjoy canned food but you can't beat fresh terran. They march towards Major_pains expansion but come under tank fire. Confused they scramble as shell after shell dents holes into the lines. I_SUCK claims many victims that day. The wounded force returns to home base to lick its wounds. The hydra army returns to the natural and stand guard over a budding expansion. Sunkens and spore colonies are morphed all over the expansion and main. A hive completes and a force of mutalisk come online. They fly towards the cenetr island with bad intentions on their mind. They are called back as an ovie bursts into blood and puss over the natural expansion.
The wraith fleet of Major_pains has arrived and immeadiatly targets spore colonies and hydralisks. The mutas intercept the wraiths and a large battle ensues. Mutas attack the exposed wraiths until the spore colonies burst. Now the mutas are running from invisible enemies. Overlords are called in but most of the mutas have been terminated. The expansion is kill off and the sqaudron begins to target the spore colonies of the main. More wraiths arrive and soon the zerg main looks more like a scab. A final defensive assault is mounted as twelve hyrdas pop out of their eggs. The hydras battle fiercly but the wraiths out number them two to one. The squadren has pushed deep into the zerg main and it looks like all is lost. The only buildings left are the hive and….wait…what is that? Looks like a pile of garbage. The wraiths move in to destroy it and are sprayed by a strange red slime. The corrosive ooze melts away the metal skin and clogs the engines. The small band of hydra succeed in destroying the terran air force and dance in celebration. A lone defiler shakes its groove thing with the hydras and rejoice…for the hive was saved.
This celebration lasts exactly ten seconds before a shower of yamoto cannon envelope the hive cluster. It explodes in a shower of blood and slime. The defiler and hydras stop dancing and look up just in time to be vaporized by 3/3/3 battlecruisers. Yes it is the mighty forces of I_SUCK. The newbie Deep_throat is eliminated and now it is terran agaist terran. Major_pains shows no fear for he is a pro. Right?
Major_pains elects to build many, many, many, many …………………….many………..many…………….many turrets at his main and natural. He tries to scrap up a wraith air force but even if he did, his wraiths would be 1/1/1 going up against 3/3/3 crusiers. Twelve cruisers were headed for Major_pains home base and they would face opposition in the form of 5 wraiths and the many, many, many…..you get the idea. But I_SUCK is not mearly a military man. He believes in the sciences, such as…nuclear power. Two nukes were ready, waiting and aimed right at the entrance to Major_pains natural. The message of nuclear launch detected caused the expected response in the form of a mad dash to "find that dot". Blue swirls materialized everywhere and still no luck. The nukes destroyed the entrance defensives of turrets and bunkers. Major-pains assumed that this was where the attack was coming from and sent his five wraiths to investigate. The ghosts locked down two of the five wraiths and the cruisers began the real assault on the cliff area. Yamoto cannon blazed in the sky and destroyed 12 of the 15 turrets that guarded the cliff. The cruisers moved in and began to demolish the poorly defended main. The three remaining wraiths cloaked and attempted to fight the odds. A comsat revealed the outnumbered pilots and the wraiths were now ghosts. The main fell in a few minutes. No add on was left standing and no man was taken prisoner. Twisted metal and splatters of blood was all that remained of Major_pains terran main. The natural fell in the same manner but no message of victory was awarded to I_SUCK. At the four main a desparate attempt by Major_pains was made to survive the onslaught. Maybe this would buy him some time to rebuild. What the good major didn't know was that I_SUCK basically had control of the map. The only place not influenced by I_SUCK was the 4 main and natural. By simple process of elimination the manhunt was pretty much over. Two ghosts were dispatched and found the command center. The warning of nuclear launch detected was all Major_pains needed to hear. He lifted off the center and flew north. The scv's bore the brunt of the nukes and were nothing more that a memory. Major_Pains had escaped and carried his center like a suckling pig……right before the luah. The center ran right into waiting cruisers and in a flash of a cannon the game was over.
And as the metal shards of Major_pains center fell to the ground thought of the lessons learned this fine day:
In a 3 way FFA never forget that there is a third guy out their
Terrans own all
6 pool is good…if you're a scumbag, cheap-ass biaaaaaaatttttttcccccccchhhhhhhh
