"I know you're probably sad, because now you have to go back to watching Star Trek and hanging out with your mom. But don't worry, it'll be okay. Maybe one day down the road I'll get bored again. And maybe on that day, I'll write another battle report. Maybe even with someone as gay (but hot) as Dag again. Or maybe I'll die of liver problems at 25."

Lifetime Rating for {DD}Fatboy: 4.3571 |  | The game was a 1v1 between Upgradedkakaru and Grim. The map was Lost Temple. Kakaru chose terran and spawned at 12:00. Grim randomed, drew protoss, and spawned at 3:00. I thought this would be a gay game. Terran on 12:00 vs a toss?! Little did I know...
The build order was almost identical; 8pylon/depot, 11gate/rax, 13gate/rax, and 14acadamy/cybercore. Here is when it got different. Kakaru went scouting and found Grim on his first try while Grim decided to get an assimialator. 3 minutes later, 2 zealots charged the terran base, guarded by 3 marines. Due to some godly micro dancing skills, the marines prevailed. Soon after that, another 2 zealots came, and were met by 6 marines. This time, no dancing was needed. Kakaru finally got a refinery, and built a bunker. Grim was cranking out dragoons and starting a robotics facility. It was quiet for awhile, but then Grim attacked.
Using a double-pronged attack, he dropped a reaver and 2 zealots on Kakaru's main, while 8 range-upgraded dragoons started pounding the bunker. It looked as it was over, but Kakaru's brave scvs saved the day. Kakaru took this time to expand to 9:00 and his natrual. Unfortunetly, Grim disconvered the natrual expansion and dropped 4 zealots on it. It was defended by tanks and marines, which quickly slaughtered the zealots. However, right after that, Grim decided to cannon the ramp(turbo newbie). The cannons were beat back by tanks without sustaining any losses. Once again however, Grim decides to attack Kakaru's 9:00 expansion after scouting with a probe. Poor Kakaru never seemed to get a break. The expansion was destroyed, at the cost of 2 high templar and 8 dragoons. Then, Kakaru decided enough was enough.
Kakaru had discovered Grim's expansions at 6:00 and at his natrual. Sending 2 tank and 10 marines to Grim's natrual, they were quickly killed by cheap storms and zealots. Undeterred from this loss, he sends another 4 tanks and 20 marines to 6:00. All the defences there were quickly shattered, but then a shuttle containing a reaver, templar, and a zealots saved the day. During this time, Grim made 2 stargates and was starting a fleet beacon. 3 minutes later, Kakaru sends 6 tanks and a horde of marines to Grim's main. They were engaged by templar and zealots. When the dust cleared, Kakaru had 3 tanks left and Grim had lost his natrual. Kakauru then pushed up the ramp, losing another tank to storm. Then a little game occured. Grim would storm a tank, kill it, but at the cost of a templar. However, Kakaru was also sending reinforcemtns into the fray. The seige lasted more than 10 minutes. Eventully though, The Terrans prevailed, destroying the Protoss main. All that was left was the 6:00 exp, which crumbled easily to the combined might of tanks and marines. GG's were swapped and Grim conceded.
