Hello all. I am Afro! I am here today to report a crappy imbalanced game between two not well-known folks. The contestants are Coolarchon and Xob. Yes.....you are wondering: who the f#ck are these 2 chobos? They are two people who do not hang around nohunters. Rather, they play pubbie games and reside in a private channel.
Well anyway, enough crap. Onto the game!


The Map


Lost Temple


Xob: Randomed Teal Protoss, 12 o'clock


Coolarchon: Randomed Red Protoss, 6 o'clock


Both players start with by sending their probes to their respective mineral patches. Coolarchon's build order is very strange, and it goes like this: pylon, gate, pylon, pylon by choke, pylon by choke, pylon, forge, assimilator, gateway, cy core, all the while making 3 zealots. I am a bit confused by this strange order, but I shrug and continue. Xob's build is a bit more standard, and it goes like this: pylon, gate, gate, pylon, pylon, assimilator, cy core. It was obvious that Xob was going to goons. After both players find each other with probes, they start massing troops. Xob pumps goons, while Coolarchon follows suit and adds a few goons to his group of zealots. Here are pics of both players' bases at this time:

They then both take time to take their naturals. Coolarchon does a more defense-oriented build, with cannons surrounding his base. They both tech to templar. Coolarchon then expands to the bottom right island with a probe in a shuttle. In the meantime, Xob has taken the 3 o'clock main. But Coolarchon finds out about this expansion and tries to attack with a group of zealots. The zealots overrun the 1 cannon at the choke, and proceed to the nexus. But Xob will not allow his expansion to fall. He sends a large force of dragoons and zealots and decimates Coolarchon's zealots.



During this time, Xob also expands to the top left island. He also mounts a large counterattack on Coolarchon's main, consisting of dragoons and a few zealots. At first, it appears as though Xob's large army will overrun Coolarchon's entire base. However, Coolarchon defends with his own goons and several templar. By the end of the battle, both sides have taken heavy losses and Coolarchon has lost his natural.






It begins


It ends

After this hard-fought battle, both players rebuild. Coolarchon re-expands to his natural, although he still does not expand anywhere else. To sum up this next part of the game, Xob takes complete control of the ENTIRE map, expanding everywhere, and building up his army of goons again, who are now fully upgraded. Coolarchon also builds up, although he knows he is fighting a lost cause, since he knows Xob is much, much better than he is. :) During the last battle, Xob sends his ENTIRE army of goons and templar to destroy Coolarchon's main. Coolarchon puts up a brave fight, but he is soon overwhelmed by Xob's constant reinforcement through his 10 gates (!).

The beginning of the end. (yes, corny)


The templar sure had their fun.


In a few more light-hearted moments, Xob drops Coolarchon's island expansion with a templar and OWNS his probes.

ouch

What results is a hero templar worthy of Tassadar himself.











Ok, this, as you know, is my first report. Be gentle. I apologize for reporting a crappy game, but since I could not find any other ones, you'll have to bear with me.
