2v2 on rivalry
Some nights ago, I was talking to my clanmember Martinez-{TKOD} and we decided that we were going to play some 2v2's tonight. So, after some searching and asking, MR_Battlenet ( a very good player, at least compared to me) and [WDS]-Tuvok decided to play us. The map was Rivalry ( its a welcome change from temple and BGH).
So, I got the top-left corner and martinez got the bottom-left one.I went random and drew terran, while martinez chose zerg. I went for a rax-depot-rax and Martinez for a 6-pool rush. When the 6 little creatures were hatched he sent them immediatly to the bottom-right corner, where the found another zerg, [WDS]-Tuvok. The lings started to tear everything apart and MR_bnet and Tuvok were calling us "stupig rushers" and "softies" and so on. Anyway, Martinez redrew his lings after they killed all drones.
MR_bnet felt that he must avenge his ally and he sent about 15 marines and 5 firebats to the base of what he called "a serious asshole" or something. Martinez had already expanded to his natural and has 1 sunken there to stop the advancing army. Of course he didnt stand a chance and redrew all his forces to his main where he had 3 sunken and 3 more morphing, guarding his choke. The marines stopped and waited for orders from their commander. He was busy at the moment for I had send all my marines to attack his base. Ok; so they didnt stand a chance against his 2 bunkers guarding his choke, but it bought Martinez some time. So I built 1 more barracks after my factory. Then an acadamy and a starport. I built a control tower and a dropship. I loaded 2 tanks in it and set a course for Martinez's base. When I got there and unloaded, I was just in time to siege up and quickly destroy a newly arrived tank.
With help from my tanks Martinez killed the troops inside his naturals. I loaded 8 marines in a dropship and, after I scanned MR_bnet's base and saw no turrets guarding his CC, dropped them in the peonline. He was quick to respong with 5 cloacked wraiths. I destroyed one after a scanner sweep revealed them to me.
Ok, so I finally expanded to my natural and built another starport, while Martinez expanded to the resource-node between our 2 bases. My scanner sweep of Tuvok revealed that he had a lot, and I mean a lot of lings guarding his choke. I sent my 6 or so wraiths to kill some of them. MR_bnet was fast to respond with some wraiths of his own and soon my wraiths were falling from the sky.
My scanner sweep revealed that Bnet still hasnt build any turrets around his CC. So, I loaded 2 tanks in a dropship ans laid a course towards to ridge or something above his CC ( you cant see it on the mimi-map, but there is a little plateau in every corner). Unfortunaly he did build turrets at the edges of his base and so I lost my dropship :(
Tuvok attacked my ally with his huge army of lings. Martinez however had his entire ridge protected by sunkens. And that, in combination with my tanks who were still there and some mutas/hydras, did not become the lings well. They died without causing to much damage.
I expanded between me and bnet and continued to make wraiths and marines.
My scouting wraith got shot down by hydras at the resource-node between Martinez and Tuvok, but not before it saw a drone morphing in a hatchery. We didnt like it and so wraiths and mutas were sent to elimate the expansion before it got on-line. Strangly Tuvok had no lord nearby so my wraiths started to kill the hydras one by one. Luckily, for Tuvok, MR_bnet scanned the battlefield and the hydras started to attack my wraiths. A bout the same time the mutas from my ally arrived to help, his hatch finished morphing. Our combined forces killed the hydras and now started to destroy the hatch.
We wondered why MR_bnet had not come to the aid off his ally with wraiths. Soon I figured it out, because some of the buildings who normally show up green on the mini-map now started to become red and I probably should have heard "we are under attack" or something (I dont have sound so I dont really know what they say :[ )
He had attacked my left expansion with wraiths. I sent my wraiths to help, but sice they were on the other side of the map, it took a time before they got there. My turrets and bunker did a nice job as they had already killed half the wraiths before the back up arrived. Bnet retreated his wraiths and feft my with a badly damaged bunker and no SCV's :(
Soon after, Tuvok hydra-dropped my ally. My wraiths went in and found out that he had ordered his lords back! So, they started to rip trough the hydras. A scanner sweep from bnet came too late.
Martinez now had it and soon I saw 10+ guardians flooting above my left expansion. He told my he was going to attack the turrets and that I had to back him up. Bnet sent his wraiths to deal with the guards and he lost 4+ of them before he could scan and reveal my ever-growing army of wraiths. He got slaughtered and I went in with my wraiths after the guardians demolished the turrets.
My nuclear silo reported that it had finished a nuke.
I dropped 2 ghosts behind the minerals at bnet's expansion and on the screen came a little
message that said : "Nuclear launch detected" . Bnet didnt even removed hid SCV's as he knew the end was near.
At the same time as the nuke dropped and sent some SCV's to heaven, Martinez attacked Tuvok with a crackling and defiler/dark swarm drop. His spore colonies were the prime target as as soon as the were out of the way, mutas ans wraiths started to demolish his base. A final attack by Tuvok, who had some hydras stationed at the middle island, on my natural was quickly destroyed by my defences at the bridge.
Gg's were seen on the screen and we allied up.
I hope you liked the report,
Yours truly, Blue_Flanker.
