Well I finally got another game to battle report. In fact this is two games between 4 good players that play, like me, regular StarCraft. We were all in our channel one night and me, hungry for a good game to watch, asked for a 2 on 2. The responses came from Bhelliom (yep remember him?), [!]flutie, LG:)stalker, and LG:)TuRReT.
Oh this time I added a few things to attempt to ensure that the text will show up white... apparently my style sheets suck on some browsers and everyone is having a hard time seeing the text. Just Ctl+A if there is something wrong. Or pray that Johnny_Vegas will know how to fix it up just right.
Oh yeah this BR is pic heavy as always. I'm trying to use more text and less images but its tough =/ . Enjoy!
BIOS...
LG:)TuRReT
LG:)TuRReT was the founder of LG:) clan (legendary gamers) which most of these guys also belong to. He is really good and can beat me easily 1on1. how will he hold up against Bhelliom and LG:)stalker? We'll just have to see.
| 
[!]flutie
I don't really know him as well as the rest of these guys but what I do know is impressive. He is really good and respected as a StarCraft player. He has been playing for a long time and may be the best here...
|
Bhelliom
I have introduced him once before but I'll do it again. He is a good friend I met a long time ago. He has been playing SC for years and has incredible talent. See him dominate a 1on1
here. | 
LG:)stalker
LG:)stalker is an excellent SC player. I have known him for a long time and despite his foul mouth and lag he does have really good SC skills... too bad no one can ever see them because his AOL always lags the game up ^^. |
MAP : LOST TEMPLE...
EARLY GAME...
[!]flutie
[!]flutie went with an early pool on 7 or 8 control. He then made two hatcheries at the top of his ramp in order to quickly produce the masses of lings he was going for. |
LG:)TuRReT
LG:)TuRReT decided to wallin his natural expansion choke point with 2 barraxes and a depot and go for the early expansion. He got an acadamy and decided to follow [!]flutie's advice to go "mass rines." |
LG:)Stalker
LG:)stalker did a conservative 2 gateway build to get some early zealots and dragoons. He soon got a third gate, an extractor, and a cybernetics core. The battle you see will be explained more later...
Oh yeah see I was right about his connection... ^^ |
Bhelliom
Bhelliom was looking to power early with his natural expansion and a third hatchery at his main and then tech. He did get some early zerglings and soon progressed to getting gas and hydralisks. |
Without any coordination (from what I heard) Bhelliom and LG:)Stalker sent their combined forces of maybe 10 zerglings and 3 zealots. [!]flutie has been building up though, and has about 20 lings and a sunken on top of his cliff. Due to the height and choke advantage and superior numbers, [!]flutie wins that one easily.
Base Update...
LG:)TuRReT has begun his expansion as well as his acadamy
[!]flutie finally starts an expansion
LG:)Stalker gets a third gateway and a cybernetics core
Bhelliom builds a fourth hatchery at his main as well as an extractor
At this point, Bhelliom and LG:)Stalker once again decided to attack [!]flutie. They sent their combined forces of 30 or so lings and 10 or 12 zealots.
They at first had the upper hand but what happened next was a brilliant move by LG:)TuRReT.
The Teal terran sent his entire marine + firebat army to LG:)Stalker's main. LG:)Stalker had just begun producing dragoons and was poorly defended. He did realize that the army was coming, though, and pulled back all of his zealots from the attack on [!]flutie. There were so many marines, however, that they were easily overpowered. His goons held the ramp for a minute until [!]flutie broke free from Bhelliom's attack and joined his Terran ally. The protoss base was in shambles as the marines stimmed and the lings poured in.
After losing 75% of his drones, LG:)Stalker finally recieves help in the form of Bhelliom's lings. Together, they drive away the enemy, but LG:)Stalker's economy was severly damaged.
Bhelliom then decides that he has enough lings to do some damage to at least one of his opponents. He scouts out [!]flutie's base and discovers whats going on.
Yes thats right folks! [!]flutie is doing the mass crap unit strategy thereby effectively ruining any hopes I had of making this an interesting BR. Bhelliom decided to challenge [!]flutie's forces with his own ling army at the same time [!]flutie realized that this would be a perfect time to attack. Their forces met in the middle of the map in a bloody battle.
[!]flutie won this battle by far due to his superior numbers but Bhelliom wisely retreated back to his hydra/sunken defense. [!]flutie charged his 30+ lings in after them. It happened so fast that i didn't get a single picture of [!]flutie's zerglings being assraped by Bhelliom's hydras. Bhelliom counter-attacked with his hydras.
By the way LG:)TuRReT was making 2 more barraxes (continuing in [!]flutie's grand tradition of mass crap units) while LG:)Stalker had finally gotten his economy back online.
LATE GAME...
Bhelliom sent his entire force to [!]flutie's base. He had maybe 20 hydras and 10 lings. Unfortunately, zerg v zerg is unbalanced and the constant production of lings wiped out Bhelliom's army. Because LG:)TuRReT is an evil little man, he decided to add insult to injury and attacked Bhelliom's natural with his M & F and wiped it out.
I guess the title "THE FALL OF BHELLIOM" wasn't so well picked because he put up such a good fight, that even when [!]flutie's ling reinforcements came, he was able to hold them off. The marines were nearly completely wiped out when the lings showed up. Bhelliom, who was producing hydra/lings out of 3 hatcheries was able to hold off the tide by placing his drones in front of his men. The diversion worked until LG:)Stalker showed up with his massive reinforcements of 2 zealots. The tide was turned but Bhelliom's natural expansion was lost. (BTW I'm just kidding Stalker =P)
Bhelliom and LG:)Stalker mustered the rest of their forces and sent them all to LG:)TuRReT's base. They begin to cause havoc because, as everyone knows, hydra/goon > mass marines, and for a while it looked like LG:)TuRReT was in trouble... Then [!]flutie showed up...
The muties that I forgot to tell you all about saved the day.
At this point, LG:)Stalker and Bhelliom realized it was almost over. LG:)TuRReT was builing a sci. Facility, had 2 ports, a few factories and like 5 barraxes.
[!]flutie and LG:)TuRReT attacked Bhelliom again and it was over. Good games!'s and Gay game!'s were administered.
SCORES...
GAME 2...
This game was basically a spawn from the argument that followed the first game (and the fact that I wanted to watch a *good* game :Þ). The argument basically was: going mass lings was the gayest thing [!]flutie could have done.
Bhelliom wasn't really mad. He was just sorta annoyed that [!]flutie would do something like that... use a totally annoying strategy (but hey it worked). [!]flutie didn't like this and the argument began. I'm just pointing out that Bhelliom wasn't seriously pissed. He realized that he was owned by a gay yet effective strategy.
The rematch then got underway. They decided to once again pick the good old lands of the Lost Temple.

OBSERVERS...
| DrAwesome | ::LD::Hydross | | Me of course. | I don't really know him. He was in the channel when the game started and decided to watch. I think he knew the some of the players. He seemed really cool from what I saw. |
EARLY GAME...
[!]flutie
[!]flutie began with a semi-wallin with 2 barraxes and a depot. He began mass producing marines and when he got his acadamy, firebats. Two E-Bays also followed as well as a few factories. He was going for a tank/marine push obviously. |
LG:)TuRReT
As the quote shows, LG:)TuRReT was going early/mass goons. Unfortunately when he decided this he didn't know he was up against 2 zerg =/ . he got a pylon, gateway, assimilator, cyber core and 2 more gateways. By this time he had been harassed by the zergs quite a few times. |
LG:)Stalker
LG:)Stalker decided to, as well as
Bhelliom, get a spawning pool first followed by a hatchery at the top of his ramp. He soon got a second hatchery right next to the first and decided to go early lings... the same thing that schooled him last game (and the thing that made last game a crappy one to BR =Þ ). |
Bhelliom
Bhelliom and LG:)Stalker had almost identical BOs with a pool on about 9 control followed by a hatch around 12 control.
Bhelliom though, got his at the bottom of his ramp followed by one at his natural expansion. He too got some early zerglings. |
In a few of the build order images, you saw a ling attack on LG:)TuRReT . This attack came very early and caught LG:)TuRReT with his pants down. He held it off though and began zealot production in case another rush came. Unfortunately, it did. Bhelliom and LG:)Stalker 's lings attacked and a huge number died to only 3 zealots and 2 dragoons but they broke in and started killing probes. They did a bit of damamge before [!]flutie's marines came and saved the day.
After this battle everyone began to build up and tech.
[!]flutie:
[!]flutie built up marines, got 2 E-Bays, and got a factory or two to make tanks.
LG:)TuRReT
LG:)TuRReT rebuilt his economy and continued to make zealots and dragoons. He also began to warp in a citadel of adun (definitly a smart move vs two zerg).
Bhelliom :
Bhelliom got a hydralisk den, an evolution chamber, and a fourth hatchery near his natural expansion.
LG:)Stalker :
LG:)Stalker continued to mass lings for a while as well as get an evolution chamber and a Lair (muties?).
LG:)Stalker decided to keep the pressure up, and sent quite a few lings to LG:)TuRReT 's base. Zealots and firebats + marine and dragoon support simply ripped up the attack.
By now everyone had different things in mind for the rest of the game. LG:)Stalker had begun a Spire and an expansion at his natural while Bhelliom had begun an expansion at his mineral only (to the left of his main) and hydra production. [!]flutie began producing tanks and a command center to float to the top left of the map (this expansion was an effective one as the opponents didn't find it the entire game). LG:)TuRReT still continued production of goons and zealots while teching to templars.
Team [!]flutie and LG:)TuRReT decided to attack LG:)Stalker now using their combined forces of 30 or 40 marines with stim and maybe 5 goons and 5 zealots. It seemed that despite his massive number of zerglings, LG:)Stalker was in trouble.
The combined forces charged in together and wiped out all of the defending zerglings and sunkens quickly.
One of LG:)Stalker 's hatcheries was eliminated and the hatchery in production at his natural expansion was quickly cancelled.
 Things were looking bad for LG:)Stalker as the marines and dragoons poured up his ramp. That is until Bhelliom 's fresh outta the oven army of hydralisks ran them over from behind. The attackers were separated and stuck in a pincer.
The defeat didn't get [!]flutie down however and he, by this time, had another sizeable force this time including tanks and a science facility in production. |
Everyone except for LG:)TuRReT was beginning an expansion immediately after this battle.
[!]flutie finally landed his Command CenterLG:)Stalker started his hatchery at his natural againBhelliom finished his mineral only expansion and began mining.
At this point, a string of events happened that led directly to the end of the game. It was almost non-stop action. It started out with Bhelliom sending his masses of 30 or 40 hydralisks to LG:)TuRReT 's natural.
The entire protoss army was annhilated due to the unpreparedness of the troops. Bhelliom realized that this was as good of a time as any (better actually) to charge in. [!]flutie saw this and immediately sent his army to help. The hydras poured in and began laying waste to the city. [!]flutie showed up just in time to save the protoss city from serious damage but 1 single error on his part may have delayed the rescue operation. He accidentally sieged a tank on the ramp, thereby preventing his forces of 5 or 6 other tanks from entering. He did get up though and managed to kill all of Bhelliom 's forces even though he was caught in a pincer attack from LG:)Stalker 's lings and mutas.
[!]flutie's excellent use of tanks and marines held off the entire attack with 4 tanks left. LG:)TuRReT realized that something had to be done and began an outpost at his natural. The combined defense of 4 tanks and 4 dragoons was a mighty force that held off everything until it was actually attacked. About 20 fresh hydras poured in and made LG:)TuRReT retreat and cancel his Nexus. The hydras saw the sniping tanks and withdrew waiting for backup of some kind... what could it be... hmmm do i see 6 overlords floating in that way that only overlords do down to the battlefield?
P.S. sorry but some random information that occured between the withdrawl and the drop. Bhelliom began an odd expansion at LG:)TuRReT 's mineral only expansion. Why you ask? because Bhelliom is an imbecile. No actually as he explained, it was to allow him to build troops closer to the front lines, colonies, and anyways, what the hell did he have to be scared of? Anyways, LG:)TuRReT was re-teching to templars (the buildings were destroyed in the previous hydra assault), while LG:)Stalker was amassing a huge muta/ling force.
Bhelliom 's Overlords soon arrived and he loaded all of his hydras in and dropped them directly where the tanks were standing (thereby forcing the tanks to attack themselves OR nullify their long attack range.. it depends how far apart they are.. enough for StarCraft 101; back to the BR). The goon/tank force was quickly dispatched and Bhelliom began destroying the rest of the base.
How sad... the fall of LG:)TuRReT
I'm hoping that you all saw the movement of orange forces ([!]flutie) on the last minimap. Well the tanks soon sieged and the marines stimmed in an attack on Bhelliom 's mineral only.
The attack was successful in destroying the economy there but LG:)Stalker 's huge muta forces flew straight into [!]flutie's main right as that happened. In addition, a zerg push on the tank forces wiped it out. It looked so cool seeing masses of hydras flow in with 6 OVs above dropping hydras right on the tanks. Like the flow of a flash flood, everything was wiped out in seconds by this.
After the failure of the push, [!]flutie realized that it was over. All that remained of his partner's base was a pylon and his was slowly but surely being annhilated by cracklings and mutalisks.
SCORES...
Thanks to all of the players for letting me watch these incredible games... i've decided to leave winning to the pros and stick to BRs =Þ .
