Map:Rivalry

This game starts off with TheAntar choosing Blue Zerg, leaving everyone else with random. [aids]Damage, his partner draws Brown Terran. Yuggoth draws Purple Terran and his partner schplorg Red Zerg. They're positions should be clearly visible on the map.

schplorg sends his overlord south, and TheAntar sends his northward. [aids]Damage sends an SCV north just before Yuggoth sends his south. None of them collide as the overlords took the highroad, leaving the SCV's to drift across the bridges.

TheAntar starts off with an early expand to his natural, however Yuggoth's SCV is already on its way, and, as it runs up the ramp, Yuggoth exclaims "early expand". Meanwhile, [aids]Damage has put up a fairly standard wallin on top of his ramp, also, note that [aids]Damage is not attacked once during the whole course of the game.

TheAntar's overlord finally gets to Yuggoth's base just as schplorg decides to rush TheAntar, the overlord stays there for the next 10-15 minutes, and TheAntar is able to see Yuggoth's moves before they are made.

schplorg's attack finally reaches TheAntar's expansion, but is held off by a sunken colony and 4 newly morphed zerglings.

[aids]Damage gets the idea to try to punish schplorg for his rush attempt, and calls in the marines for a counter attack. Line dance fever ensues with both the marines and the zerglings lining up for blood.

However marines work better in lines than zerglings and [aids]Damage comes out on top of this battle, and gets to schplorg's peon line, however schplorg pulls of some tricky moves and manages to take out the last marines with the aid of some new zerglings and some m 'n' m support from Yuggoth.

TheAntar's overlord is *still* floating over Yuggoth's entrance. At this point Yuggoth and schplorg decide to counter attack the counter attack, and send 10 marines and 8 zerglings to TheAntar's entrance, however they are noticed by the aforementioned overlord and by the time the force gets to TheAntar's base [aids]Damage has brought in a sieged tank and several marines. TheAntar has also thrown up 3 more sunkens in anticipation of the attack, needless to say, the attack fails miserabely.

[aids]Damage takes it upon himself to counter attack the counter attack of the counter attack (confused yet?) and sends another line (*sigh*) of 10 marines, 2 medics, 2 tanks and an SCV to schplorg's base, they run into the huge opposition of 1 drone on the way. About this time though, Yuggoth finally wises up and shoots down TheAntar's overlord.

When [aids]Damage gets to schplorg's base there are two sunkens there which quickly fall to gauss gun and arclite cannon fire. Yuggoth decides its time to intervene and sends in a large force of 10 mutas towards Yuggoth's base. Yuggoth's 4 tanks meet [aids]Damage's 2 and TheAntar takes a detour to help deal with the tanks. [aids]Damage pushes his way up the ramp which is now guarded only by some hydras.

As [aids]Damage's tanks siege up, TheAntar's mutas move in on Yuggoth's lightly defended base.

The players exchange gg's with the sound of arclite fire raining down on the zerg biostructs.

What the scv's are doing here is anyone's guess.
Thanks for reading my 1st and currently only battle report. Oh and any comments are welcome.
