Introduction: These two players are both friends of mine, (Me being Annie47,Cathrine47’s cousin) and they each thought that they could annihilate the other in StarCraft. So I told them to play each other in a battle royal, and that I would write a battle report on it. They agreed to the challenge anxiously. Both of my friends pre-chose there race so they knew what they were up against.
The_Pinkman: He is an advocate of the militant Terran. He is a fairly good master with tank pushes. And an M&M lover. Although he loves the short game, he is no man to fight with in the long game. Go Pinkman! : )
Cathrine47: She appreciates the mighty warriors of the Protoss. She is a Templar fanatic, admiring the awesome magic of the High Templar, but the assassination skills of the Dark Templar appeals to her style as well. Go Cathy! ;]
THE GAME =): The game started out pretty typical for the The_Pinkman. He started out with 2 rax, Depot, Cad, and three bunkers to make sure of no funny business was commited zlots. He built his buildings around the bunkers and mins to prevent zlot raid. Cathrine47 went tri-gate with multiple pylon support. She took a bold move by not building a forge, hence she couldn’t get any cannons to prevent a firebat rush. Hoping to get the zlots attacking The_Pinkman to put him on the defensive.
Heating Up: Cathrine47 was the first one to engage in combat sending 3 zlots to assault/scout The_Pinkman’s base, but soon seeing the 3 bunkers turned her to a new path in the tech tree, dragoons. While putting up a Cybercore at home, she kept sending her zlots to bother The_Pinkman. And bother they did, they took down one supply depot and a few marines.
After a little while she was sending Goons in by the half dozens and at this point it looked like there was no way The_Pinkman could defeat her 4 legged might. The_Pinkman keeping his cool, brilliantly, even while Goons were eating up his newly built factory, destroying it, used his Comsat to see Cathrine47’s base, (it saved him the game really) immediately noticing the Citadel of Adun under construction, he knew she was going temps, most likely Dark temps. He quickly erected a E-Bay and set up a turret by his bunkers.
Cathrine47 soon took advantage of her singularity charged upgraded goons leveling the E-Bay and taking the turret down as well, losing only a goon. But The_Pinkman had what he needed for now, the marine armor upgrade. The_Pinkman made 4 marines and 2 medics to get rid of the goon menace. Although all his marines died after attacking the Goons, he took down 4 of the disrupter cannon fireing monsters. Cathrine47 kept making her Goons dance and shuffle so the marines couldn’t focus on just one. The_Pinkman threw more of these M&M combos and they finally killed all the goons. Getting the protoss warriors away from him for the time being he set up a factory to get his O so loved tanks. Cathrine47 sent her assassins, 2 DTs to go finish of the detectorless Pinkman. Soon after the warp blade bite into the bunker and the blue dots of a Comsat could be seen, the DTs were dispatched. More and more DTs pounded into the base only to get spotted and killed. Suddenly the Machine shop was complete and siege mode and a tank were queued up. He set up a siege tank right by his bunkers (after starting to construct a E-Bay). Yet she would not let go anymore detection for The_Pinkman, sending her last DT to kill the bay while the Comsat was out of juice. The_Pinkman man ingeniously orderd the tank to blast at the still under construction E-Bay, the splash damage of the arclit rounds killed the DT!!! Soon afterwards The_Pinkman flew his new E-Bay to a safer part of his base and set up a good turret defense.
Mid-Game: Cathrine47 kept up stiff resistance to any attempts The_Pinkman made to expand while she expanded herself. The_Pinkman Tank pushed his way to his expansion blowing goons into goo and DTs to mist. Both players took a small breather to set up there expansions and climb the tree a little. The tranquillity was shattered by the sound of a scarab blast into a group of SCV’s, The_Pinkman quickly set up tanks to counter act the Reaver but not before many noise-picking SCV’s were turned into shrapnel.
Cute MSG’s were being passed back and forth during this time like “:p” and “I hate u” warm caring MSG’s like these that make StarCraft great! =)
The_Pinkman started making Sci vessels and a covert ops, while Cathrine47 made more temps and a observatory. The_Pinkman put his Sci vessels to good use turning High Temps into green clouds of gas, thus ending the psionic stroming soccerers.
Cathrine47 made a Starport and some cannons around her main and 5 at her natural. Soon corsairs were recruited to help combat the Sci vessels and break throuhg the terran defense. Cathrine47 did research D web but her corsairs got EMP way too much for that to be used.
All players halted when the MSG “Nuclear launch detected” blared accross the screen. Cathrine47 searched desperately with her Obes but to no aval as two more nukes were launched blowing her Expansion to bits and hurting her main (not really killing anything). She quickly remade some cannons and took the 6:00 expansion cannoning it up real good. The_Pinkman used both island expansions to fuel his growing army of M&M with tanks, a few ghost were commenced in case another nuking was needed or Carrier threat presented itself.
End Game: Cathrine47 tried to crush pink in one more attack involving 6 carriers and 24 zlots. The_Pinkman EMP’ed the zlots as stimmed marines blasted them into oblivion. Sadly for Cathrine47 her great carrier fleet was reduced to rubble by several Lockdown’s crushing her hopes of victory. :(
The_Pinkman sent large groups of 3/3 M&M that overran any defense that dare stand in there gauss riffling way. Cathrine47’s pathetic Cannon defense was easily subdued, The_Pinkman lost tons of guys to the hatred psi storm =] errr =[ hehe. But before Cathrine47’s last pylon blew into blue flame, she ordered him to a rematch, after
exchanging Good Games.
Aftermath: Cathrine47 made a promise to play The_Pinkman in a series best outta 5 he agreed and I might report them as well =)(assuming this report does good!).
Lessons learned: GET THE FIRST ARMOR UPGRADE IF U R TERRAN!!! It allows your marines to take 2 swings of a warp blade, 3 shots from a cannon and 5 blast’s from a goon!!! STIM MARINES RULE =)
-Sci vessels own those nasty temps =P
-Goons beat up on bunkers bad
I hope you enjoyed reading this for I put a lot of effort in it to make it entertaining for you to read ;] |
