FINALLY OBSERVING: Team FK against Random Players
I've spent about three hours yesterday trying to convince Brazilian players to let me watch their games. After a long time, I convinced four guys to play a 2x2 with me observing! Here is the result!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Players:
TEAM FK: FK is a very famous brazilian clan, with players all over the country. This match's
players were:
MECATRON[FK]: Got Protoss
GEMEOS[FK]: Got Terran
THE OTHERS: Two guys we found on B.net. Here they are:
L'arc~en~Ciel: Got Terran
Yoda[Jedi]: From clan JEDI FORCES, Got Zerg
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Map:
Believe it or not, they only accepted to do this on HUNTERS...
NO BIG GAME!!! ONLY HUNTERS!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Minimap:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Build Orders:
MECATRON[FK]: Started by making photon cannons to avoid a ling rush, then he went to Triple Gateways
GEMEOS[FK]: Went to triple Barracks
L'arc~en~Ciel: Went Double Barracks
Yoda[Jedi]: Double Hatchery, then Hydra Den ( after extractor, obsviously... )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The First Contact:
L'arc~en~Ciel tried a strange strategy by bunkering GEMEOS[FK]'s base and making a Barracks besides it. Since the SCV went there without marine support, the bunker was easily destroyed...

Weird Strategy... could have worked
Seeing that his attempt was a failure, L'arc~en~Cielbunkered his own base and waited for the worst... Since the worst didn't come so fast, he flew with a Rax near GEMEOS[FK]'s base edge. Strange but effective scouting, since structures have large line of sight! He was able to see his enemy's base without being seen. Great Move!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Zerg Despair :
The FK TEAM decided to gather forces in the middle of the map. With four barracks and four gateways pumping troops non-stop, they had a pretty good army by then

"What are you looking at, FlatHead?"
They then made an agreement:
GEMEOS[FK] would kill the Zerg while MECATRON[FK] would kill the Terran. They didn't attack, though. Seeing all those troops reunited, Yoda[Jedi]went mad and thrown all his zerglings over the middle. The result was pretty obvious...

A Sad Day for The Swarm...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Annoying Drop:
Taking advantage of his position, L'arc~en~Ciel put a tank in the edge of his base and started to crush GEMEOS[FK]'s barracks. He was obliged to make it fly away then. This tank obliged GEMEOS[FK] to
leave a spot without structures in his base, and L'arc~en~Ciel used this to make two drops. One to destroy
his enemy's academy and the other with tanks and stuff to make a larger destruction. This was a problem for
GEMEOS[FK], since he was busy bunkering the Zerg's base. The distracted MECATRON[FK]was too busy at his natural expansion and forgot to send help to his friend.
When he realized what was going on, lots had already been destroyed...

While Worrying about the Zerg, His Base was being Destroyed!
Eventually, after several drops and loses, scouts and dragoons, marines and tanks, the drop was contained.
Yoda[Jedi]made some mutalisks, and assassinated all
of them in MECATRON[FK] photon cannons... anyway, with some hydras, a tank from his friend and taking
advantage that GEMEOS[FK] couldn't replace his troops, since his base was destroyed, Yoda[Jedi]
finally stopped the bunkering in his base
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sad Ending:
With dozens of dragoons, scouts and power, an expansion and lots of enthusiasm, MECATRON[FK] was DISCONNECTED! His phone line had a problem and he was brutally disconnected. Full of anger, GEMEOS[FK] left the game...
My best attempt to make a good Battle Report was ruined by internet connection. Everybody was pissed off... anyway, I hope you enjoyed this report until
its "end". I believe TEAM FK would've won, since they had too many protoss forces, and Yoda[Jedi] hadn't even expanded yet... but who knows? All of them were great, and they deserved to have played this game to the end...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lessons Learned:
1-Brazilian Internet Service gotta get better!
2-Terran drops can be very effective
3-Hunters is not a balanced map at all
4-There is a hope for Battle Reporters in Brazilian B.net
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Really hope you enjoyed. Someday I'll report a full game! At least I hope so!
