Note: The song you're hearing is Watz's theme song and is dedicated to him, along with any other flamers at this site. =]
Recently, a new player has come onto the scene as one of the best players in NH (although he doesnt hang out in NH heh), ..(Myst).. Well, since everyone was totally marveled at his skill, a few of us decided that no one could take him 1v1 so, instead, we gave him 2 people to play a few times. So, I, saw a golden opportunity to make a decent battle report.
 The first game (or rather the first one I BRed) was fought on Lost Temple (sorry) against The.Confessor and WatzandCollsy (who I assume is Watz =]).
All players start in with 'typical?' 2v1 building orders... heh. Confessor builds a depot and then a rax right next to that on his ramp going for a wall-in.
Watz builds a pylon next to his nexus followed by a gateway and then an assimilator.
Now...over to the lonely one, Myst. He builds a hatch at the top of his ramp (obviously going for sunks on the cliff to stop an early double rush, the most threatening thing in a 2v1). He then proceeds to get an extractor followed closely by a spawning pool.
 Myst now begins his cliff sunkens in preparation for the double rush. As this happens, one of Confessor's SCVs runs up the ramp and is able to scout out all of the enemy base.
Now, when Myst's overlord reaches Watz's base, and realizing that he's massing goons (well, trying to mass goons =]), sends 8 zerglings over to attack.
Honestly, this was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The lings arrive (at this time Myst has completed a lair and is starting a hydra den) and tear into the 3 goons Watz has at the ramp. He's forced to retreat the goons into his main base as he says "Help" to Confessor, whose response is "help!?! wtf, 6 lings". You might have had to be there... I dunno.
So anyway, Confessor had himself walled in and was apparently too lazy to lift the barracks to get out and didn't come to help. And when Myst sees this, he keeps the pressure on by sending lings in groups of 4 or 6.
Each group of lings is just that much more difficult for Watz to micro his few goons and probes out of. Finally, Myst sent his lings in, and instead of attacking the enemy forces head on, went over and concentrated fire on the Nexus.
 After a few waves of lings and some careful microing (killing the goons then going back to attacking the Nexus) Myst is able to destroy the nexus, more or less killing one of his opponents. Watz's reaction to this was something like "OMFGALKFJLKF*&^*&^" which in his language meant that he didn't have enough to build another Nexus.
Even after dying to 8 zerglings in a 2v1, Watz insists that he could take Myst in a 1v1.
Anyway, as he was killing one of his opponents, Myst was not sitting idle. He has teched to lurkers and now sends a group of lings, hydras, and lurkers to Confessor's ramp. He does this just in time as well, because Watz left over (extremely imposing) force of probes and 2 half dead goons comes up to block him in. Of course by that time the units have already passed. =]
Now, just as Myst arrives at Confessor's base, Confessor is able to load 2 D ships up with M&M and tanks and sends them across the gap to the enemy base. When they arrive, Myst's base is virtually undefended; it was bare except for a morphing lurker and a few zerglings.
Using some incredible micro, Myst waits for his lurker to finish and then burrows it next to his lair, while he sends about 8 zerglings and destroys the siege tank. When the siege tank is destroyed, it is about 4 lings and a lurker against 8 or so M&M with no detection (who do you think wins? =]).
..(Myst)..

Game 2 of the 2v1 series was played... on .... Lost Temple, obviously, look at the title of the Battle Report!
By the way, (poa's^son) is Wangsonn and therefore I will refer to him as Wang. And as you can see in the minimap, I didn't get the bengalaas to control (Bob this is on your maps =]) so I had no choice but ti BR because I was bored out of my mind.
____________________________________________________________
..(Myst).. (Zerg, 12) Myst
Wangsonn (Zerg, 3) Wang
Watz (Terran, 9) Watz
____________________________________________________________
The Build Orders:
Watz: depot, rax, rax, assimilator
Wang: pool, hatch, then a sunk at Myst's base
Myst: pool, hatch, gas
The first action (a gay action is a still an action) occurs when Wang sends a scouting drone to Myst's base and instead of leaving builds a creep colony next to the hatchery. Luckily, Myst has 6 lings on the way and easily causes Wang to cancel his extreme gayness.
Now, instead of the team with 2 attacking first, which is what usually happens, Myst decides to take the offensive again and sends a group of lings to Watz base (possibly in an attempt to once again embarrass him).
![use your partner is a 2v1..? =]](http://www.geocities.com/banehero/imag13.gif)
The lings arrive and outnumber the few defending marines greatly, causing Watz to, once again, retreat and use his SCVs to help defend. Since SCVs are such badasses, Watz causes Myst to retreat after attempting to micro against them for a little while.
At the same time, Wang realizes that Myst will be weak with his army elsewhere and sends his now decent sized army of lings to attack. When they arrive, Myst has just morphed in a sunken colony (he was anticipating this move, obviously) and he had about 6 lings with more morphing in to defend.
Dancing his lings around, allowing the sunken colony to take free shots at the lings, Wang should have realized he wasn't going to win. He didn't though, and let the bulk of his army die to the sunken and lings.
 Unfortunately for Wang, that was a bigger mistake than he would have though. Myst sends his remaining lings along with the newly hatched ones to counter Wang, who had just started to make a creep colony and a hydralisk den.
The lings arrive and lay into the unfinished sunken colony and few lings. Wang brings his drones out to distract the zerglings from the morphing sunken but most of them lose their lives before a new batch of .... 6 DRONES!?!? hatches. I'm not sure whether Wang had those building before the attack came but I certainly hope so =].
Anywho, the constant lings pouring in finish Wang off who is forced to just watch the rest of the game.
Fortunately, the rest of the game didn't take very long. The action continued as Watz sends his M&M and a few SCVs to attack the enemy base. Along the way he runs into a group of lings who promptly retreat (or so Watz thinks).
The M&M arrive at Myst's main and start to attack 2 sunkens and a few lings morphing in.
Now back to Myst's seemingly retreated lings. He actually moved them to the side and allowed the enemy army to pass; when they passed, he sent them in to attack a virtually undefended Terran base.
The lings destroy the Terran buildings in a minute or so plowing over the unsupported SCVs. And what's even worse, Watz's M&M had been killed by 2 sunkens and about 6 or 8 new lings.
But we all know Watz, he had to be gay and lift buildings, forcing Myst to get anti-air. Soon after, a group of scourges arrive and destroy the two floating barracks; sealing game 2 of the 2v1 series for Myst.

Final Thoughts
What have we learned here today? Maybe it's that ..(Myst).. kicks ass at SC, or maybe it's that NHers can't play as a team. Well, now that you've all seen how ..(Myst).. plays 2v1, I expect you all to go out and be as good as he is...*cough*. Remember, I'm not saying being in a BR is the way to solve your problems in any way. Take care of yourselves.
