BoostedTime vs dVine

Hello, I am Pure_Magic im aware there is a magic clan but did not discover so until after I made this login and am in no way affiliated with the Magic clan.
Ok onwards to the game, this is my first report so go easy I am learning Html and though this game would be a good opportunity to test them. Oh and it was a dam good game too!
Anyways, like some other people im not into Anime chicks (but didn't they look hot?).
Ok our 2 contestants are BoostedTime and dVINE both drew Zerg, BoostedTime landed his Hatchery Mid West whiledVINE carefully plummeted to the Middle East (no, this isn't a western its starcraft fool!).
I forget their exact build but they went something like this.
BoostedTime
- Pool
- Hatch (not quite at the top of the ramp which is puzzling)
- 3 sunkens at top of ramp
- 3rd hatch at natural(I think)
dVINE
- Hatch at expansion
- Pool
- 2 sunkens
- 3rd hatch
So far It looks like a spitting image of itself with both players doing exactly the same but I notice that dVINE has a few more drones mining his expansion.
The first action of the game comes when dVINE sends roughly 15 zerglings towards BoostedTime, at this time BoostedTime has about the same amount of zerglings but also has 2 sunkens on his side (1 is out of range.) Needless to say dVINE's first attack was a complete failure.

A few seconds later BoostedTime trys a counter attack, it also consisted of roughly 15 zerglings, but he sent them in in 2 groups and wisely retreats the remainder of his forces (around 6 lousy zerglings.)

During the attack BoostedTime went nuts on sunkens at his natural and massed about 5 of them. While he did this dVINE had added a hydra den and started morphing a Lair and right afterwards a Spire.BoostedTime has 3 hatches a spawn pool, Hydra den, recently added 2 Evo chambers (which he would later use to upgrade Hydralisk armour and attack) and a buttload of sunkens. BoostedTime also wisely added a spore colony at his main base.
A few minutes passed by before anything else happened but the silence was broken when a wing of dVINEs Mutalisks flew right into the heart of BoostedTimes base.

dVINE sees the defending spore colony and moves his Mutas southward out of range of the Spore but still able to attack most of BoostedTimes drones. Now something I rarely see happen er, happens, BoostedTime burrows his drones saving them from destruction until his hydras that were guarding his choke point come to the rescue, when they arrive dVINE is forced to retreat his Mutas to safety. But he has other ideas.
He takes his Mutas around to BoostedTimes expansion and starts attacking the drones there. Once again they burrow and the Hydras come to the rescue. And BoostedTime wisely constructs and spore colony to defend his natural as well.

After that attack dVine parks his Mutas above the cliff of BoostedTimes expansion.
BoostedTime at this time adds a Spire while dVINe morphs a queens nest and later a Hive.
A few minutes pass by while both sides "muster" their forces.
The peace is broken as once again dVINE take the offensive, this however was to be a total loss for dVINE. He sends about 30 zerglings towards BoostedTime. At the time I thought it would cause serious damage to BoostedTime as he had only about 15 Hydras, his hydras were however 1/1 compared to dVINEs lings of 0/0. dVINEs forces were totally destroyed and BoostedTime lost only about 2 Hydras in the whole assault.
BoostedTime finally takes the offensives and take his Hydra army of about 15 towards dVines base. However he turns them back around to my surprise, I then turn back to his base and find the culprit, dVines Mutas which were parking above BoostedTimes cliff decided to do some more drone raiding. They take out the spore colony there and start attacking drones. This time BoostedTime forgets to burrow his drones a losses a few of them before his Hydras make it back and quell the Muta threat. During the Muta raid BoostedTime expands to his 2nd natural expansion. He also trys to take the South main base but is quickly discovered and is forced to cancel the hatchery.

During the offensive dVINEs Hive has finished and he has started morphing a Greater Spire, he also adds a 4th hatchery and does some frenzied scouting. His scouting proves in vain as BoostedTime has yet to expand to any other spot. Boosted time also has his own form of recon in the form of burrowed zerglings at every resource spot.
After a few minutes of "peace" you can tell that BoostedTime is hurting a bit, but he is in no way out of the fight.
It is about this time when a massive fight breaks out at BoostedTimes 2nd natural expansion.
dVINE sends about 16 Hydras 10 zerglings at BoostedTime and also attack with his mutas which were waiting above BoostedTimes natural, this gave him the immediate advantage of attacking him from 2 sides.

It looks as though BoostedTime has the advantage as Hydra reinforcements come to rescue his 2nd natural.

But then dVINE sends in his reinforcements

dVINEs attack is a success and he succeeds in destroying boostedTimes 2nd natural expansion.
After his success he expands to the 12 oclock natural expansion. He also morphs a single guardian and starts picking away at BoostedTimes massess of sunkens. The attack is short lived however as the guardian is killed by 2 scourge.
dVINE decides that it is time to finish it and sends about 25 hydras to attack BoostedTimes main base. However for some reason he is not using attack move, and is totally massacred by 5+ sunkens and zerglings.

Ok, so it really is the final attack this time. dVINE morphs 6 guardians and sends them in together with around 20 Hydralisks. On the way to his base the Guards stop to pick on some poor zerglings and random hydralisks. Zerglings are not very good at attacking air for some reason.

dVINE loses all but 3 Guardians to scourge, unfortunately BoostedTime is running low on minerals and doesn't have any hydralisks to deal with the Guardians.
What is more unfortunate is, at this point I ran out of screenshots. But all that happened after this was BoostedTime made heaps of sunkens to prolong his death but eventually died about 1 minute later.
WINNER = Dvine
Well at this point I have gotten completely lazy and would appreciate any suggestions, about SS layout and particaularly how to decrease the image size .
