After watching 5 1vs1's to make a Battle Report on, and after each game wasn't Battle Report material, I decided it was time to try again. After 15 minutes in Clan ~Nohunters, not finding a good game to Battle Report I decided to try Clan -x17. Sure enough in 5 minutes I found a game to Report. DAzed~Szelkye responded to [o]TriS request for a 1vs1. 2 Games where played, the first wasn't really Battle Report material but I will sum it up here, Both players picked their races, with Tris as Zerg at 6 and DAzed at 9. After some great Micro but Tris, he stopped a Zealot/Probe Rush early. Then he teched up, massed Lings/Hydra's and killed Dazed easily. Dazed requested a rematch and it was granted.
The real deal
Map : The Lost Temple
For the sake of my sore hands [o]TriS will be known as tris and DAzed~Szelkye will be known as dazed.
Dazed = Purple Protoss @ 9 (Chosen)
Tris = Brown Zerg at 3 (Chosen)
Dazed went for a early tech Build Order, which was:
Pylon on 8
Gateway on 10
Pylon on 12
Gas on 12
Tris went for a normal Zerg Build Order which was:
9 Overlord
12 Hatchery below Ramp
12 Spawning Pool
14 Hatchery at Natural
Dazed, after seeing that a Overlord had not come from 6, scouted 12 first, and after not finding his enemy, he checked again at 3. He saw the early Hatchery and sent his first Zealot at it. The Zealot didn't have probe support and turned out to be more of a scout than anything. Since in game 1, Tris went for a late Pool, Dazed hoped that this would be the case again, but 6 Zerglings stopped the lone Zealot from doing much damage.
Once the Hatchery at his Natural finished, Tris sent 3 Drones to mine it, and he started a Sunken Colony by his First Hatchery (below ramp). He then sent a small force of about 8 Zerglings to Dazed Natural. Then Tris started a 2nd Expansion, at the 12 Natural.
Dazed had not been inactive during all this. He had a second Gateway, and was making a Dragoon Force. He was also teching to Reavers. He then killed the Zergling force by his Natural, and expanded there. He had 1 Shuttle and a Reaver, but decided NOT to reaver drop his Zerg foe yet.
Tris had expanded to his Mineral only and was working on a Hdrya Force now. He also had a Lair.
Dazed was being out mined. He had 4 Gateways and was making Ranged Dragoons, while Tris was making A large Hdrya force. The 2 massive army's would have to face each other sooner or later...
Tris took the first move as he loaded 9 Overlords with 36 Hdryalisk's and sent them to Dazed main base. This could end the game, but would it?
DENIED!
The Hdrya swarm just could not handle the Reaver/Dragoon/Zealot force. While this attack was going on both players did little moves. Dazed, dropped 2 Reavers in Tris's Main Mineral Line, but these where killed by a pack of Hdryas before they caused to much damage. Then Dazed expanded to the 6 Main. Tris also expanded, this time to the 12 Main.
Shortly after the attack I saw something I have never seen done before. Tris dropped 4 Hdryas and several Drones on Dazed Cliff and started a Hatchery!! After the Hatchery was done, he made 4 Sunken Colony's. They hit the probes mining here, which made the Expansion useless. When Dazed tried to stop this, his Shuttle was killed before it could unload it's cargo. So Dazed pulled all his probes off minerals and sent them to his new 12 Base. However disaster hit. Tris was had a Hatchery Mophing at the 12 Natural by this time, and the Probes ran into a force of Hdryalisks. The Hdrya Force killed the probes and Tris now knowing that Dazed had an at Expansion at the 12 Main, decided to attacked it. Although 3 Photon Cannons put up a fight, they couldn't stop the never ending swarm of Hdryalisk's. As the Protoss mining camp was being destroyed, Dazed knew he had to do something to keep the game in his favor. So he took a large Dragoon and Zealot force and attacked Tris' Mineral only base. What happened next was a bloody battle.
As you can see, Ling and Hdrya forces overwhelmed the Dragoon army. It wasn't looking for Dazed at this point. It became clear that Tris had won the game once I looked at Dazed main base. It was defenseless. Right after the battle, Tris attacked, The Protoss put up little fight, because we all know 50 Hdryas > 3 Dragoons. GG's where exchanged, as the Zerg Swarm destroy the Protoss base.
Lessons Learned
Zerg > Protoss
Early Expansion is key for both Zerg and Protoss
You can cliff your enemy as Zerg!
[o]TriS is a very gosu player
Reavers are not as good as Templar w/ Storm vs Zerg
