SC2 Battlereport 4v4 on High Ground

Hello welcome to another Battle Report, in this game I will be taking a look at the 4v4 solo random bracket and its wonderfully skilled players. The map in question is

High Ground, and the interesting thing about this  map is that everyone gets placed in the corners with a natural and gold expansions in the middle. Two watch towers

are placed easily accessible  below the top left naturals and on top of the bottom right naturals. Not the best looking naturals but hey at least they are nott man tits. 

Now lets look at the teams.

Tean Edward

Fearless - Terran

Chaotic - Protoss

Sentient - Terran

irvgotti - Protoss

Tean Jacob

nelsonb - Terran

JackiChan - Zerg

harry - Protoss

LittlePK - Terran

The game is oddly setup just like it was set on Top versus Bottom, which I am not  sure if its always like that but it works well in this game. My impenetrable Terran

base spawns in the bottom right and on my team I have two Protoss and one additional Terran. Chaotic the Protoss player starts off asking for gas and is going

two Stargate Void Rays and tells me  to bunker up and wall in. I take his request to the next level and give him some additional gas to fund his flying prisms,

he does not thank me but  I know the harassment should be worth it. My other ally, a forty year old  Rhythm and Blues rapper irvgotti starts off making 1 of every unit 

with his blisteringly fast 21 apm. I can understand though, the man probably is getting high on his own supply and is having lots of sex.  

My last ally defiantly does not do his name justice, Sentient , rushes to for two reactor Medivac, probably the worst unit to mass that I could think of. Hey I shouldn’t

complain much, most of the people I have played with did not make queens or Orbital Commands, so these guys could  probably hold their own in gold league.

Across the map was the enemy, nelsonb who was doing his best irvgotti impersonation building one of every unit and rushing for that  quick +1 armor. Damn this kid

was good. Next we have LittlePK rushing for 3 Tech Lab Barracks and 2 factory off one base, cant blame him for thinking long game can we? He gets a few reapers out

to piss us off aswell as adding a Starport before building anything out of his 5 unit production structures. On the opposing high ground was the Prince of Wales harry and

JackiChan, this gameis a venerable whos who of SC2 celebs.  

I was intimidated.

JackiChan rushes for Mutalisk and harry cannons his base in while teching to Air.

The first blood of the game is on me, as LittlePK gets reapers in my base and kills 4 peons. But luckily Sentient sends medivacs and Chaotic puts some cannons in my base.

Next Chaotic gets reapered by LittlePK and Sentient gets Mutalisk harassed by JackiChan. At the same time purple sends 8 Void Rays to JackiChan's base and kills everything, 

luckily JackiChan has horrible macro and has 1000 minerals and 2 expos so he can drone up soon enough.



At this time I take my natural and irvgotti throws down an expo at his natural cause they make dis world go 'round nigga ya kno wut im sayin??

C'mon man. Its about time fo a black on black crime, harry charges his void rays on JackiChan's hatchery then attacks Chaotic 's uncharged rays and easily wins without losses.

A very nice move here that kept the Prince in the game.



It gets a little slow with a few void rays harassing here and there, reapers dying to air and JackiChan easily gets back into the game with a gold expo. harry takes a gold expo and attacks  

irvgotti's natural with crack voids, and everyone suicides 20 units trying to kill fully charged rays one at a time. I was trying to lure them away from the base to make them drop their charge,

but harry was very watchful of his units, and his micro was pretty good. He stayed charged the whole time and killed 20 units per void ray. Eventually he gets chased away by Sentient marine

Medivac and has to retreat to the corner of the map.

I take out harrys gold expo in the middle of the map and their entire team comes to kill my small force after the expo goes down. At the same time irvgotti got reduced to 5 probes by void

ray harass, and decided to bounce. As he leaves the game, one would think his time was  better spent mackin on hoes anyway. nelsonb finally gets in on the action and takes his natural and

kills Chaotic 's gold expo. Then harry decides to finish the job that his team mate started, he rolls into purples base and charges up on his nexus before he can react. Then Chaotic suicides a

superior void ray fleet into charged void rays and after he loses all his units he leaves the game in a fit of rage.



At the same time LittlePK and nelsonb attack Sentient, now most of the attacks in this game are into buildings since not a single person but myself has any macro whatsoever. Now in the spirit

of that comment, I attack JackiChan's gold expansion and he should have no units right? Well he pretty much only had a few Infestors and It should have been a whitewash, but he got some

nice neural parasites off. However he used the time to kill a few marines and eventually the non parasited Thors 2 shot the armored Infestors. Now the Fab 5 thors were able to regain control

and lay waste to the buildings of JackiChan as easily as mentioned above.



I take this time to expand to the middle and cleanse JackiChan's base with a newly reformed army of thors. Meanwhile LittlePK and 

nelsonb decide to counter one of my gold expos in the middle and delay mining for a bit until 3 thors kill a few tanks and void rays.
