Sorry about the small pics, I'll make em bigger next time=]

Ahahaha gotta wake up early to be the first to comment. Damn what a lamer this matress guy was. Im sorry you shouldnt be proud to kill someone so pitiful.

Signs of a lamer
1. Loses with toss after killing the terran main.

2. Taking an island expo early on temple in a 1v1.








#3 GhOsT~LiZarD (1Cust78.tnt2.lorton.va.da.uu.net)[7739]
Actually I floated most of my important stuff away, losing sci fac and port only. And what's wrong with taking the island exp?????? I always thought it was effective since good photon placemeent and a temp or two will kill any drop terran can muster in the early stages.
#4 Whoop (pool0570.cvx12-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net)[7740]
Economic reasons. Sure you're right once you have some photons in place its easy to hold. BUT you have to transfer peons by shuttle or not at all. THe minerals are not spaced nor placed for good mining.

Taking your natural allows you to

a) transfer peons easily

b) any photon's you errect will also guard your main

Bottom line taking an island first is dumb

How many games have I won where the enemy toss has not one but BOTH islands. IMO I like the islands for gas when minerals arent really and issue can can just warp in nexus cannons and get gas and a few minerals.

FFA's are obviously a different story. 2v2 I still think taking an island first is newbie-ish but at least you can make a case for it. Not so 1v1















#5 Whoop (pool0570.cvx12-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net)[7741]
One more sign of a toss lamer

Not controlling the middle of the map and LETTING you expand to another main. WTF did he do sit his troops in his base and wait for you to set up camp outside? Probably didnt even know you have expanded due to lousy recon. Pathetic really.

Bottom line is he was a lamer. Skill is imbalanced don't ya think?

I'm guessing you were playing on GX which seems to be lamer central.

I played from Brood War Ladder channel, he was the only guy I could find that spoke english there:)

Good work, do you want me to delete the other 2 reports?
#8 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[7751]
When I first saw this, I was like, cool, Ghost is back. Then I got to thinking, and well, damn, ghost is back =]

j/k Decent BR, but you apparently haven't read the CattleBruiser report. Or else you would've commented on it.

DIE MARK4 HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHH (I found a cybernetic body if needed)
#9 whoops is right (fe2.southeast.rr.com)[7769]
taking the islands on temple at least is very bad for the economy. not only can you not transfer peons, you also have to build cannons that only protect that specific island.

heh, the final scores are very low for the amount of time that the game went one. If you will notice, one of the obvious and statistical differences between top players and not top players is the score. In the BW ladder season 2 tournament for example, the scores were well over 100k in just over half the time that it took these players mentioned to reach 150k.

This is not meant to be a bash of the game played by these two ppl (neither of whom i have ever seen or played), but dont expect a perfect strategical and micro managed game from mid-level players.
#10 o, and btw (fe2.southeast.rr.com)[7772]
the games that went as long as this one in the bw ladder tournament on the same and PLEASE quote me on this

"imbalanced, overrated, and overplayed map" lost temple.

are...........................
heh, for the mania[guny]~ DiGamma matchup for example the scores were both well over 200k. mania having 270k and DiGamma having an incredible 370k pts. the game lasted 1hr and 5 minutes

I played DiGamma last season on the ladder and I must say that he is the best Protoss player I have played. That includes Pillars and Kain-the-Feared.

ERRRRR, did this guy ever hear of psi storm?
#14 Mark4 (147.239.118.3)[7804]
Has anyone seen a battle report on this page where Whoop didn't criticize the players/writers/commentors tactics? I'm still looking for one =]
#15 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[7872]
Nice comeback. I wish it had been me at the Protoss helm during that lategame... maybe I can borrow this guy's early game so I can get ahead that far, cause if I do, I ain't losing... I'm way to careful with a 3-1 resource lead to blunder into your base with just goons so soon after taking your main. Didn't he have observers out?

Didn't he think to go after the depots? You had to be hurting on supply after losing your main... Oh well, this guy's mistakes don't diminish from what was still a fantastic comeback. GG

#18 arg0n (spider-ta034.proxy.aol.com)[11627]
