Gob-DaBong vs Iceberg

Well this is my first BR so bear with me. I'm not an English expert but I promise I'll do my best. Anyway, after reading BR after BR for the last month and half. I decided to get off my lazy butt and do a BR of my own. So I went to nohunters to find the two lucky souls that would battle it off for my first and not the last (hopefully.)

The map was none other than Lost Temple. DaBong randomed Protoss at the 12 o'clock position while Iceberg randomed Zerg at the 6 o'clock spot. Nothing to out of the ordinary at the beginning. DaBong going a pylon, 2 gateways, pylon, assimilator, cybernetics core, forge, then stargate. With Iceberg going pool then 2 more hatcheries and a crap load of drones. From the very beginning it looks like they are either going masses or going high up the tech tree.

Finally we have some movement as both players find each other pretty much at the same time. Iceberg decides to expand at his natural and then again at the 9 o'clock spot. DaBong noticing that nothing seems to be happening also expands to his natural.

Then nothing really happens for awhile both players start to build up. If you ask me both of them had some pretty pathetic defense. DaBong having about 6 zealots with some dragoons at his ramp and Iceberg having about 10 hydras in front of his natural.

Oh well, it wasn't me playing the game. Anyway, Iceberg decides to expand oh... THREE more times. He expands at the 3 o'clock spot, mineral only out it front of his main, and at the natural at the 9 o'clock spot. This gives him 5 expansions to DaBong's 1. This is definitely going to play a role in the final minutes of the game.

Finally we have some REAL action! DaBong finds Iceberg's 3 o'clock expansion and decides its time for an attack he brings over a shuttle and drops a goon and one reaver. He kills all the drones and is pounding away at the hatchery when Iceberg moves in his hydra's he had at the middle to take out the futile attempt.

After his attack was put to an end at the expansion. DaBong decides its time for an attack at Iceberg's main. Well by this time Iceberg has been getting resources from way to many damn spots, and has way to many damn hatcheries. In short, he had way to many damn hydras. DaBong sends down about 12 goons but they fall very short of their goal not killing more than 1 hydra.



With the attack done and over. Iceberg decides its time to use his way to damn many hydras and attack DaBong at his natural and then on to his main. It wasn't a pretty sight. Since DaBong had sent everything he had at Iceberg. He had nothing to defend his base and Iceberg had it easy going in.




Over all it was a good game. I had some good laughs and it was a good learning experience. Iceberg proved that even the ol' mass hydras can still win you a game. Thanks to both players for making this such a good and learning experience. I look forward to doing this in the future.
