Sabotage Report #1

It is Sabotage, with my very first battlreport. My old account name was the_fag. It was a stupid name and everyone made fun of it, so, yeah. I dedicate this Br to Cattlebruiser, because he rated my first report, and added a comment. he inspired me. Also, his guide helped me a lot. Thank you, ~Cattlebruiser~.

I was once again hanging out with my friends. One of my friends who rarely comes on came on. I wanted to play with him pretty bad, so me, stillfly_chi, and him, (lurkerburger7) set up a ffa on the temple. Lost temple is our favorite map, except for stillfly_chi. He likes BGH. We played an okay temple game, and i decided to report it.

Locations of players:

Stillfly_chi is the south base. He picks random and gets zerg. He is a very agressive player.

Dogfood9 is the west base. He randomed terran. He usually builds middle-class units. He likes to have peace in the beginning.

lurkerburger7 is at the eastern base. He picks zerg. He is agressive, but cares a lot about his economy.

Now to begin! (note: i am Dogfood9)


Stillfly_chi quickly sends his drones to work. The 4 drones get 200 minerals after a few seconds of mining. ONe of the drones goes to make a spawning pool. Stillfly_chi is obviously going to 4pool someone, but who? he starts making some replacement drones so he wouldn't be poor later. The spawning pool is morphing, and someone was going to get it. Meanwhile, lurkerburger7 makes extreme drones. he was saving up for a second hatchery very early, and his pool is already being built. His plan was to get really good money, and do some real damage. His overlord was sent out to scout the north base, but nobody was there. It doesn't take long for his drones to get the money they need for the second hatchery. The second hatchery starts, and the pool is half done.

Dogfood9 is luckily getting some early marines. He sacrifices his economy for zergling insurance. He already has a barracks, and a supply depot. His scv count is low, but his Barracks pumped out 1 marine and counting.

First Little battle

Stillfly_chi's spawning was done, but he only had one larvae because he was making 2 new overlords. He didn't care though. He sent the two zerglings to the west base, started a creep colony and more drones.

Battle description: Dogfood9 has 2 marines at his base, a third one being made. He is starting more scvs for economic development. Soon enough, 2 zerglings come over to his base to have some fun. Dogfood9's marines (3rd one done) they get close together and kill the zerglings before they could even reach him. but, Stillfly_chi had just made new zerglings, and sent those over. (6 lings, 8 in total). they attack the marines, but the marine count was now 4. amazingly, Dogfood9 only wins by 2 marine! After this, he sees his good minerals, and makes a second barracks and a bunker at the slope.

lurkerburger7 had plenty of time to get a good economy, and he did. He finished his second hatchery, and made an extractore. He also had a sunken, and a creep. And did i mention the drones? he had a lot. about, 20. He also started some fresh zergling eggs, for scouting.

Stillfly_chi sticks to his zergling plan. This He has another six, and sends them right out. they finally reach Dogfood9's base. They kill a incomplete bunker right up the ramp, and the innocent scv building it. They head straight for the marines. Very luckily, Dogfood9's 5 marines killed all the lings. Even better, there was only one marine left after all the fighting! Dogfood9 was very lucky. Here is a picture of that. Wasn't that cool? After this fight, Stillfly_chi realizes that lurkerburger7 was a huge threat to him, and that he better start advancing. He was right. lurkerburger7 had a hydralisk den, 2 hatcheries, and was getting mucho dinero. (a lot of money). After a few seconds, Stillfly_chi sends 6 more lings, just to see if he could catch Dogfood9 off guard, but no. The terrans had 7 lings. The marines only had 4 left after the fight, because the marines were in the front of the base, and were moving to scout. Suddenly, lurkerburger7 plops down a new hatchery, makes about 20 zerglings, and disperses them everywhere, (for scouting). lurkerburger7 sent about 8 more lings to Dogfood9's base, but by then he had 1 bunker and another being built, with plenty of marines to go round.

Stillfly_chi has barely changed at all since we last seen him. He has 2 more drones. He still produced zerglings, but only for defence. He also sent one zergling to lurkerburger7's base.

Dogfood9 started advancing. He started a refinery, another bunker, and another barracks. His defence was pretty good. It could stop a large amount of zerglings.

Its the time, to advance!

lurkerburger7 is taking advantage of his economy. He now has an expansion at the natural. He then makes hydralisks, full throttle. His 3 hatcheries do their work pretty quick, and after a minute, he has a fair-size army of hideous hydralisks! He sends the hydras to the bottom of the ramp, adding more and more to the swarm. Stillfly_chi's base, because he knew that he was weak. Stillfly_chi didn't have the sunkens at the ramp, he had them at his base. He had made 6 sunkens ever since he saw the hydralisk being spawned. He also added an evolution chamber, and finally, started a spire, which is just finished. He starts some mutalisk, and harasses blue for a minute.

Dogfood9 has his economy going. He makes a bunker at the front of his base, and builds these: academy, CC for natural expansion, Factory, Engineering bay, armory, and a few missle turrets (for the mutalisk that harassed him). He starts goliaths with his factory, and starts another factory. His main base's minerals are starting to deplete, but his expansion has fresh minerals. He acts as a turtle, and carefully starts a mech army.


Battle 2


By now, lurkerburger7 has a pretty decent size hydralisk group. He goes to Stillfly_chi's slope, and climbs upward. Once they're all up, they all attack. Stillfly_chi tries to make some desperate sunken colonies, but not fast enough to save the rest of his defence The attack was pretty hurtful, and left Stillfly_chi with shit.

Eventually, the hydralisk die, but Stillfly_chi is bleeding and stuff.


Battle 2 is complete. moving on to battle 3

I know this was very predictable, but damn, ok? During battle 2, Dogfood9 had finished his mech army (squad rather) and sent them to the middle to decide who to attack.

a few "fill-ins" (skip this shit i guess)

Stillfly_chi=morphing hive, spire, spawning pool, hydralisk den, bleeding extractor, queen's nest, 3 sunken colonies, 2 spore colonies, 1 creep colony, a new expansion hatchery=lower right, and an evolution chamber.

lurkerburger7=hive, spire, spawning pool, hydralisk den, extractore, hatchery (expo), 2 more hatchery (produce), 4 sunken colonies, queen's nest, and 3 evolution chambers.

Dogfood9 has a command center, 7 supply depos, 3 barracks, 4 missle turrets, 1 command center (expo), engineering bay, 2 factories, armory, 4 bunkers, and a refinery.

cut the crap, back to battle 3

screw that. anyway, like i was saying, Dogfood9 had his army of 5 goliaths (charon boosters), 2 siege tanks, 2 juicy firebats, and a scv. The goliaths and stuff show up at the front of lurkerburger7's base. They are greeted by hydralisk, and mutalisk, and only 4 zerglings. The goliaths blast the mutalisks out of the sky, but they fall to the hydras. The firebats take care of the zerglings, but the 12 hydralisk pummel the 2 sieged tanks, and everything else. the scv was no help.

jeez, what a messed up saying thing. of course it needs explaining you asshole! The-fag is still inside me! get it out!!

ok i killed him, finally. The battle didn't hurt lurkerburger7 much. He was still massing hydralisk. He wanted to finish off Stillfly_chi. we didn't hear from him in awhile. He has a hive now, and starts a greater spire. He didn't build new sunkens, instead he made a group of 12 mutalisk. He moved these to his expansion. Then, lurkerburger7 attacks. He sends his group of hydralisks, (and lurkers now) to the base. Stillfly_chi doesn't put up much of a fight. He sorta lets himself die. The hydralisks and lurkers win the battle. immediately after the attack, Stillfly_chi seeks revenge. He sends those mutalisk over to lurkerburger7's base and kills the expansion. The mutalisk go into the main base, kill the drones, but eventually get pummeled by hydralisk from the ground, and we all know that hydralisk own mutalisk. so, once again, Dogfood9 seeks to attack lurkerburger7. 12 goliaths, 3 tanks, 5 firebats, and a scv set off for the zerg base. They are greeted by zerglings again, but the goliaths gun them down, They make it up the slope and attack all the zergs. the siege tanks wipe out the sunkens, but The hydralisk come back from the battle, and anihalate the goliaths, and the zerglings get the siege tanks.


Final Fight

Dogfood9 builds 2 more factories, totalling in 5, and makes more and more goliaths. The goliath production rate is good. lurkerburger7 gets lazy and makes nothing. not even a zergling.

Dogfood9 rushes the base. He first sends in the firebats, which deal with the greeting zerglings, but get killed by hydralisk. He runs the siege tank up the slope and sieges. the tanks kill many hydras, and then the goliaths kill the rest. THen a wave of zerglings come, but once again, the power of the siege tank kills them. So the base is crushed.

Dogfood9 is the WINNER!!!

so are you satisfied? i hope you liked the report. please leave a comment on what i can improve on. thanks.
