Hey all! I decided to do another report to try to redeem myself from my last bomb @.@. This one won't be so long and will include pictures =). This is about I_Hate_Medics. His saga continues on through this next game...


The map: The Gay Temple
The Players:
I_Hate_Medics: Chosen Yellow Protoss at the 3 o'clock position
hot~[trOx]~phUn: Chosen Purple Zerg at the 12 o'clock position(his color is blue for the sake of the reader)

Before we start, here's some interesting pregame chat...


Okay, now if you're still with us (and haven't puked), let's get on to the game!

Iceni (Hot... he prefers to be called "Iceni") starts out with a conservative-type build. He gets a Spawning Pool first and has quite a few drones before one of them head out to his choke point. The drone cocoons itself and begins to morph into a hatchery. Soon after, another drone is sacrificed for another hatchery at his natural. About 12 zerglings are guarding the choke point hatchery. As soon as it is finished, a sunken is morphed and the rush defense is completed.

Over at Medics' hood, he's constructed a Pylon, Gateway, Pylon, Gateway, Assimilator, and finally a Cybernetics Core. He has grouped up about 5 zealots at his ramp to do guard duty. Soon after the Cybernetics Core finishes, a forge warps into place under it. He researches +1 weapons and then begins a Citadel.

At Iceni's, he has morphed his Hatchery into a Lair and added a Hydralisk Den. I figured Lurkers, but I doubted they would be effective against Medics, as he has two cannons on his ledge. "Phobos" scouts the Zerg base valiantly before he is put out of his misery. We also get some insight about each of the players' abilities as they both say they suck. (We all know this is not true..) Another scout is sent out, this time his name is "Roshes".

Medics constructs a Templar Archives and expands to his Natural. He adds another Gateway to the mix and pumps out some Templar with more Zealots and Dragoons. Iceni gathers a large group of Zerglings and Hydralisks for a possible assault. (I think it was about now) Medics had to pause the game for a second. He returned shortly, GAME ON! Just then, something surprised me. Iceni's bloodsucking-gasbag flying pieces of dogshit suck up Hydralisks and slowly fart their way onto Medics’ plateau. They unload and the hydralisks begin their assault. It is short lived, however, as Medics lays down a storm and cleans up with Dragoons/Zealots. He also assaults Medics’ frontline with his leftover Zerglings/Hydralisks, effectively splitting Medic's forces apart. Medics manages to fend him off using a Dark Templar, High Templar, and his cannons while sending his Zealots into the fray as well.

Iceni sees the futility of attacking with mass ground and starts a Spire in his main. Medics starts to lag out about now, but his connection stabilizes quickly. Iceni sends another Hydralisk force to Medics' base. He dances with Medics’ Zealots and kills quite a few before Medics retreats to his Dragoons/Cannons/Templar. The Dragoons end the Hydralisk dancing and the attack is thwarted. As this attack ends, the first Mutalisks appear on the field. Also, Medics begins upgrades from his two forges.

Iceni loads up his 4 remaining hydralisks and turbo newbies Medics’ natural. A psistorm puts 3 hydras out, but not before killing 4 or so probes. Mutas come in and assassinate the Templar, then do moderate damage before being chased off. However, the harassment is not finished, as Iceni continues to knock out cannons here and there, harassing Probes all the way. Eventually he backs off as the Templar threat increases. Also, Dragoons become more numerous to prevent any more assaults. The cannons are replaced shortly.

Yet, Iceni continues to harass! This time, many of the probes at Medics’ natural died. Iceni decides to take his mineral-only again and does so. I thought at this point Medics was screwed, but yet again he will surprise me as he gets back on his feet and counter-attacks with Zealots, Dragoons, an Archon, and a lone High Templar. It is thwarted eventually by Hydras/Sunkens, but the mineral-only expansion was lost. Medics expands to the 6 o'clock natural after the attack fails. Also, Iceni's Lair begins its morph into a Hive. Iceni also attacks again, but fails because of psistorm. After Iceni's Hive finishes, his Spire morphs into a Greater Spire.

Iceni sends in 12 cracklings and does some moderate damage (a cannon), but they did their scouting mission. Five guardians also begin to morph just beyond the Protoss main base. I don't think the Guardians will do too much damage due to the massive amount of templar Medics has gathered. The Guardians begin to attack the back, while Hydralisks assault the front. Unfortunately for Iceni, Psistorm ends the Hydralisks life and many of the Guardians' too. Dragoons get off a couple lucky shots and kill another Guardian. More Guardians are morphed and a couple of Pylons with some Gateways are destroyed.

Medics expands to the 9 o'clock mineral only and the 6 o'clock main while gathering more ground forces. More games with Psistorm/Running Guardians occur at Medics’ house. The Zerg attempts to expand to his (again)destroyed mineral-only as his resources are running low. He guards it with all his Guardians (no pun intended) and attempts to mine it. Medics decides to attack again and musters all he has.... Unfortunately, this time the Zerg was unable to defend as his economy was SHOT, plus he was expanding. He was run over by the Protoss forces. The Guardians were PsiStormed to hell and the Sunkens were torn apart.

End game, unfortunately. The base was overrun and GGs were passed around.

NOTE: This game was kind of hard to follow due to the attacks, expanding, and teching... sorry if I left something out or it was too short =( Also, this was made on a 800x600 screen resolution, sorry if it doesn't turn out right on other computers..

After the game: (Don't puke..)

Random lines throughout the game:










(I thought the Guardians were going to do Medics in, since he didn't have very good anti-guardian.. He proved me wrong again ><)

Random pictures:
