With my newly gained HTML skills, I wanted to test them in a BR. So upon entering nohunters, I saw grimling spamming for a 1v1. FuzzyWallop replied, and grimling created the game. I joined, and after a few Wtf's?, no one banned me, so I decided to stay and observe.

Game 1



The map: The Lost Temple
The Players: Grimling(actual color was white, but can anyone seen white print on white background? randomed to Protoss at 9:00 vs. FuzzyWallop randomed to Zerg at 3:00.

The game started with both players using their respective build orders. Grimling decides to go 8pylon, 10 gate, 12 pylon, and gas. Fuzzy goes with hatchery at choke, pool, and gas.
The game starts with Grimling Doing some early scout/haressment with a probe, and discovering that Fuzzy has a relativly late pool. Taking advantage of this, Grim sends 3 zealots and 4 probes to see what they can acomplish. Upon arrival at the choke, Grimling's probes wait for the slightly overweighted zealots to catch up. When they both arrive at the choke, the protoss forces glare at the opposing defending zerglings. The zealot's eyes soon get tired and decide to charge up the ramp. A bloody battle errupts, but Fuzzy eventully emerges victorious and drives the protoss forces off the creep. Fuzzy Immediatly gathers up his surviving zerglings and charges torwards Grimling's base. At this point, Grimling has added a cybernetics core, as well as a nexus at his natrual. When the zerglings arrive, they quickly slaughter the defending zealots and rape the probes. However, they were denied acess to the main by zealots holding the choke. Grimling grabs his remaining zealots and tells to to guard his natrual. At this point, Fuzzy has 3 hatcheries and is continously pumping lings. Eventully, the protoss forces get worn down by the swawrms of zerglings and Grimling graciously surrenders.

Game 2



Of course, after being beat down by the lowliest unit avaliable in Starcraft, Grim wanted a rematch. So once again, the map was chosen, and the game started.

The map: The Lost Temple
The players: Grimling randomed to toss at 3:00 vs. FuzzyWallop randomed to zerg at 6:00.

Once again, the matchup was PvZ. This time though, Grimling opted for a more conservative build(8 pylon, 10 gate, 12 gate, 13 pylon, 15 nexus/gate) while Fuzzy opted for a more aggresive build.(hatch at natrual, gas/pool) Right about the time when Grimling's nexus warps in, a scouting zergling passes by and gets diced to shreds by the defending zealots. However, Fuzzy sends his 18 something lings to attack the protoss. The zealots and zerglings clash, with the zerglings easily slaughtering the 4 defending zerglings and rush into the main. The lings are able to kill a good number of probes before probes and newly warped in zealots are able to kill them.

Sensing another rush of mass zerglings, (like the last game) Grimling decides to pump zealots from his 3 gateways. Feeling safe from a zergling attack once he has 8 zealots, Grimling then throws up a cybernetics core and starts gathering gas. Fuzzy anticipates this though, and rushes directly to lurkers.

Once the lurkers hatch, Fuzzy sends them as well as the rest of his army to Grimling's base. Well, the protoss basically gets slaughtered, and I'll let the pictures do the talking.






Lessons Learned
1.In both games, templars really would have helped Grim. (in the first game, templars wouldn't do much by archons would)
2.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think expanding early as protoss is really a good idea. Your better off using the money for extra zealots and dragoons before expanding.
3.This is one of the few games when I saw a zerg beat a protoss without mutalisks since 1.04 came out.
4.Grim would've been much better off in the first game if he had spent the extra 100 minerals and made a sheild battery.

GG to both players for two fantastic games played.
