| PepaG~(RFR) vs. [USA]NovaTech -By DeaTH~LizarD
PepaG~(RFR) and [USA]NovaTech decided to play a
friendly 1v1 clan match in channel Clan -X17. Here's what happened...

PepaG~(RFR) chose Zerg and started up at 9:00 while [USA]NovaTech
chose Protoss, and started at 3:00. PepaG~(RFR) went for an early 2 hatchery build. One was
on his main, one was near the choke point, and one was outside taking the expansion. [USA]NovaTech
scouted when the 3rd hatchery was almost done spawning, and he reacted quickly. He sent out a group of 4 early zealots to
PepaG~(RFR)'s expansion area, moving them out of sunken range from the sunken colonies built
up near the choke point. Here's a before and after screen shot:

PepaG~(RFR) survived this attack simply by hitting his zealots with zerglings (while many
more are in spawning process)...when the zealots attacked teh zerlgings, he would simply run the zerglings and the zealots followed
the zerglings into sunken range. Even though [USA]NovaTech retreated the zealots back, that
didn't stop the zerglings from spawning and hitting him some more.
The players used some time to build up, PepaG~(RFR) quickly getting a lair to upgrade overlord
transport, and a Hydralisk den to upgrade lurker ablility. By the time he was done, he had his outside expansion covered nicely
with sunkens and zerglings...And [USA]NovaTech had a high templar out with psi storm ability, along
with zealots and a few dragoons, plus he got himself an expansion outside his main. PepaG~(RFR) then executed one of the smartest moves you can
make as Zerg when playing Protoss on Temple: The early lurker drop near the probes. Check out how he executed the move
here.
While the lurkers were doing their damage, PepaG~(RFR) started building heavy on zerglings,
hydralisks, and mutalisks all at the same time. He brought them all to the center of the map to group them up, then sent all of them
down without giving [USA]NovaTech much time to rebuild. While 3 lurkers (One got stormed to death) were busy taking out
[USA]NovaTech's main, PepaG~(RFR) wasted no more time.
He sent out his pack of mixed units, and no one can determine what happened better than the screen shots themselves:
Part 1: The attack
Part 2: In the middle of the last war
Part 3: Zerg overpowered
Part 4: The Victory
And that is how the battle ended. An early tech later power zerg has defeated a teching toss. Good job to both players, and keep
up the Starcraft gaming to the fans that read. Feel welcome to post your comments below.
