It twas the best of times, it twas the worst of times.... derrruhhh yes.. It was a cold friday night and I had logged onto ~NoHunters. After playing SnowCraft at flipside.com (those stupid little green 7 year olds), I thought it would be nice to do a Battle Report. I had asked around and received many "Fuck you"'s until 2 Brave Souls stood up. Those 2 brave warriors were ZmanbarEll and Wicked_Riddims . It was a 2 out of 3 games series. Soon the First Game started....
Game 1 of 3
 THE MAP: Bone Canyon
THE PLAYERS:
ZmanbarEll randoms to 5 o'clock protoss
Wicked_Riddims randoms to 7 o'clock terran
THE OBSERVERS:
~7th^Jantaru That's me hehehehehe

rommelkiller ???
As both of my fellow observer's made an assumption that a dragoon rush was in order. Well lets just say...  On the other side of the map, Wicked_Riddims puts up a 2nd Factory along with another 2 Supply Depots. At this point in the game, Wicked_Riddims has 4 vultures and ZmanbarEll has 2 zealots on his ramp. Wicked_Riddims researches Spider Mines and places a few at his base. He then sends 4 of his vultures to place some mines in front of ZmanbarEll's domain. Wicked_Riddims not only places mines in front of purple's base. He then attempts to attack him. His vultures try to scurry through his zealots at his ramp and they only lose one comrade. His remaining vultures go towards his innocent probes and destroys 4 miners.
 Luckily, Wicked_Riddims' vultures found his robotics including a Reaver with 1 Shuttle. These fiesty vultures reported back to the command center before they met their demise.
At this moment Wicked_Riddims takes advantage and expands to his Natural Expansion.
Right after the attack made by Wicked_Riddims , ZmanbarEll decides to try to flame off teal's SCV's at his main with Scarab Power. This was simply destroy due to the fact he put them behind the minerals and was trapped..
Layin' The Smackdown
Moments later, Both players have been recovering from their losses. Wicked_Riddims decides to attack ZmanbarEll once again hoping to destroy his base this time. Teal then pulls up his 3 Vultures and 3 Siege Tanks to ZmanbarEll's front. At the same exact time, ZmanbarEll decides to expand to the elevated land piece on top of his base and manages to avoid Teal's army at his front. MiniMap Update 
Wicked_Riddims begins his raid against the opposing Protoss. The shots from the tanks ripped up his cannons and his vultures cleaning up the ruins. This was not looking good for ZmanbarEll at this time. While Wicked_Riddims was attacking his base. He decided to send 2 Shuttles of Dragoons to destroy his exp. ZmanbarEll luckily destroyed the Terran's expansion, but that was not enough to change tides in the game. Wicked_Riddims had sent reinforcements of tanks and finished off ZmanbarEll and took the Victory.
Game 1 Winner = Wicked_Riddims
Game 2 of 3
 THE MAP:Archipelago
THE PLAYERS:
ZmanbarEll randoms to 7 o'clock terran
Wicked_Riddims randoms to 2 o'clock zerg
THE OBSERVERS:
~7th^Jantaru Thats Me :-)
Casper! Some annoying dude
Wangsonn I had the honor to have him obs
During the game, one of our members had to be afk during the game so I bring you... Coments of the Game  After this luckily Wicked_Riddims awoke once again and stopped this stupidity. The game went underway... 
After ZmanbarEll finished his Factory, he added a Machine Shop, 2 Supply Depots and a StarPort. At the same moment, Wicked_Riddims morphs his primary hatchery into a Lair, adds an extra Hatchery (increasing his Hatchery count to 3 ), and then adds a hydra den with an evolution chamber.
First Attack/Attempt  Both players have been mining and building up their troops. Wicked_Riddims had 10 hydralisks. ZmanbarEll attempted to attack with 1 Siege Tank, 3 Marines and 1 SCV. He loaded his men up as they crowded into the Drop Ship. Luckily Wicked_Riddims had planted his Overlords in every expansion there was, monitoring his enemy... ZmanbarEll ordered his Drop Ship to hug the right side going right past a patrolling Overlord, He panicked... He did not know what to do... So he just went in meeting his demise he met up with Blue's Troops.
At this point in the game, Wicked_Riddims expands to the island expansion bottom of his base with 4 patrolling Hydralisks guarding it. ZmanbarEll trying to take vengence for his previous loss, loads up 2 more Drop Ships with 2 Tanks, 4 Marines, 2 Medics, and 2 SCV's. He drops them right on top of the opponent's cliff where he meets a lone Hydralisk. Without furthur adue, he blasted the Hydralisk to bits and sieged right on top of the cliff making bunkers on the sides.
 Wicked_Riddims had anticipated on this moment and sent his 0-1 Hydralisks to try to destroy the Turbo Newbie. 
Moments Later...
 ZmanbarEll really wants to win and he will do anything to do just that. He sends 3 more Drop Ships full of troops to Wicked_Riddims main.. hoping to destroy it.. he tries to cliff him again. He went on top of the cliff, encountered 10 0-2 Hydralisks and retreated. Luckily, he did not lose any drop ships. He then did something that appeared quite unusual to me. He tried to take out the hydras on the cliff by sieging his tank on the island next to it.. This didnt work out well.. While he was at the island, strangely enough, he tried to expand there... and then decided to cancel his hard worked-on Command Center. ZmanbarEll tries to look for another way where he can enter and destroy him. He decides to go to the bottom of his base and work his way up with his Siege Tanks and Bunkers. This plan was thwarted easily with Wicked_Riddims high numbered Hydralisks. 
This soon led to ZmanbarEll's death due to out mineralizing. We had said our Good Games and the series was over 2-0 in favor of Wicked_Riddims . I was soon to dine on Salmon steak drenched in sesame oil as I scratched my ass and turned off the computer 
Cid Letterman's Top Ten

9. Upgrading units are effective
8. Do not tech up to Robotics so fast against Terran
7. Upgrade next time ZmanbarEll
6. Wraiths are good in Island Maps against Zerg
5. Extra Space
4. Extra Space
3. I suck
2. My battle reports suck
