WARNING:This br contain lots of pics,go have a drink while it loads.
There were 2rival factions in a far away land.Deciding who will dominate this planet,both factions have agreed to duel on an island,named Rivalry.Knowing that they will have to win at all costs,both factions sent their best commanders out to do battle.


[LoR]-Punisherlanded a brown CC at the 5:00 start position whereas RyeBonewarped in a purple nexus at 11:00.KoRnNuT[FTL] morphed a Orange Hatchery at 1:00 whereas Bloodfists morphed a Teal Hatchery at 5:00.Not knowing each other since everyone randomed,i decided to do a standard Terran Wall-in at the choke while my ally opted for a double gate build.My ally scouted 1:00 and we noted that KoRnNuT[FTL] was zerg.After sending a peon who finished depot to 5:00,i noted that BloodFistswas also zerg.Good...i only need to concentrate on a TvZ build.But we are not the only ones scouting,a spying overlord from Bloodfistshas arrived at my choke.Marines were being pumped and i made a second rax followed by a refinery at 18/18 and then an academy.Just when i gathered 100gas,RyeBonedeclares he will pay KoRnNuT[FTL] a visit.So,he sent 4zeals and i just started stim research.
Arriving at KoRnNuT[FTL]'s main,his zeals walked over the few lings but were stopped by 2 sunkens.Noting the early gas and a hydra den,i noted the possibility of lurkers.Then,after sweeping BloodFistsonce,immediately the threat of guardians formed.









But RyeBone declares that BloodFists is going to go for Muta/Ling.Feeling slightly relieved,i decided not to get too worried as yet.Knowing Mutas are going to present themselves in the field of battle,RyeBonestarts a forge and a citadel of adun(for tech to HTs and HTs=Psi Storm)I layed down a bunker behind my min line and started an ebay at the same time.M&M production continued with a factory added.Further scanning reveals Orange is going for mass hydras.My ally then decides to expand to the natural between us.When the Nexus warped in together with a few cannons,a force of mutas/hydras went to hit the expansion(There was a ling there which was standing by the min line,so both BloodFists and KoRnNuT[FTL] knew about it).I told my ally that they could be doing a hydra/muta combo.


Heres a minimap update:


Seeing that there was an oppurtunity to drop m&m with tanks at BloodFists'sbase since his min line wasn't well defended,2tanks,6marines,2medics were immmediately loaded into a dropship and headed to BloodFists'smain.However,before the brand new dropships have traveled far,a group of mutas brought an end to the 2 dropship load of shit.Damn......I then made a science facility and added 2 more rax to my 2 rax.Noting that the natural between me and BloodFists was rather empty,i expanded there only to find out that expansion works was halted by a group of mutas who stumbled upon it.:( Guess i'll just stick to my min only for now. But i was getting somewhere,in order to own BloodFist's mutas and KoRnNuT[FTL]'s hydras i'll need 3-3 m&m with SVs and tanks.Good....if i make it there,the game will likely be mine.

Heres another minimap update:


The game then progresses with little action and i decided to break the silence by sending a team of M&M with SV support to kill the zerg expand between RyeBone and KoRnNuT[FLT].When i reached there,drugs passed around,and the 1-1 marines shredded up the lings.Then something gooey was fired at the marines causing their guns to jam up and reduce fire rate.So,the hydras fought the marines off easily.
Deciding not to remain that passive forever,i keep on sweeping both enemy whenever i can.Then suddenly, oh shit flashes across my screen and i zoom in to a large orange spot in my ally's base.Damn....He got dropped by mass hydras and his HT's are being broodling.Fortunately,my ally just expanded and he was rebuilding his tech tree.I sent a small detachment of m&ms to protect his rather vulnerable base.He then tells me he's gonna try something risky.Well...Since it seems the zergs are likely to win,i told him there was no harm in trying.But both BloodFists and KoRnNuT[FLT] are not slacking in upgrades.Although my M&M is already 2-2,their men are also lvl 2.
Fortunately,this time i managed to expand to the natural between BloodFists and me and secured it.Thats good....i now have access to much needed gas supplies.Looking at my ally's one and only base,i noted he got DAs,Arbiters,hts and archons.Plus some mind controlled ovies.Fearing a drop at my main,i sent a detachment of m&m,1SV and 1Tank to defend the SouthEastern corner of my base.Then,scanning BloodFists,my ally said:Ultra Cavern and Defilers.WTF was wrong with my eysight?I didn't even noticed those 2.I was looking out for greater spire instead.Scanning around reveals where his ultras where hiding...at his min only.I wasn't too worried since i got about 6 tanks and a shitload of m&ms being churned out from 6rax.Then,dark swarms engulfed my front line at the natural between me and BloodFists".I knew waht was coming,mustering 24rines,9medics and 6tanks,i sent them over to the natural preparing for the worst.My ally sent 1 arbiter to assist.By some weird stroke of luck,BloodFists's defilers who were crossing the bridge in an attmept to dark swarm the bunker and tanks got slaughtered.So,i killed about 4defilers and he let off about 3 Dark Swarms,covering my bunker and tanks.Then,Ultras with the chitnous plating upgrade came crossing the bridge into my expansion.Due to depots obstructing,Ultras constantly moved out of the cover of dark swarm allowing my 6tanks to hit them with support from 24 3-3 rines.My ally stasised a few Ultras too.Good...i took the oppurtunity to cross the bridge and setup camp there so i could push my way into BloodFists's main.It seems the tables are turning.I was gaining ground.I took down one of KoRnNuT[FTL]'s gas only expands in the middle of the map.After getting a CC there,something funny occured...........Waving Fusion Cutters and Spikes,Drones and SCVs(apparently bored sitting around)engaged in a little skirmish of their own.KorNnUt[TFL]'s drones had LvL 3 carapace like my SCVs and also,his hydras are now 3-3 too like my m&ms.

















KoRnNuT[FTL] threw hydras at my m&m force after ensnaring them.Suddenly,a big blob of orange appeared on my minimap.Dang...KoRnNuT[FLT] did a mass drop of hydras on me.But thanks to m&m,SVs and tanks(with a little help from my ally)i repelled the drop.When the smoke clears,i immediately felt the mark the drop left.It got my fac,my academy,a few depots and my ebay.After this,a group of lurkers from KoRnNuT[FTL] was sent to help BloodFists.They pushed my m&ms further and further back.Although RyeBoneStasised,Maelstromed and Mind Control them,there was just too many.So tanks were called in and the lurkers were blown into oblivion.Once the lurker threat was dealt with,i tank pushed my way into BloodFists's main.Infested terranswere sent to help but were thorn apart by arbiters before they even make it up the ramp.Declaring that the map was mined out,one of our opponents asked if we could have a cease fire.After a Cease Fire was declared,a peace treaty was signed

ending a long rivalry between both factions.
