Welcome to the first (and probably only) SuckyNewbie:P report. This report was done as a favor to LuckyNewbie:P, in return for his being my partner in a 2v2. Of course, LuckyNewbie:P disconnected, but I won 1v2 anyway :-). Before we get into the game, lets have some preliminaries with the "-uckyNewbie:P Family"!

Here is a short segment on a 5v1 comp stomp game we had, and then where we also turned against the only non-uckyNewbie:P involved, Conti's. With me were LuckyNewbie:P, @uckynewbie:P, and YuckyNewbie:P. Enjoy! (By the way, we made only peons)

And here's @uckyNewbie:P getting owned by my 4scv rush.

Now, I present:


Build Orders

Frost!^^: Hatchery at expansion, spawning pool, another hatchery at expansion, creep colony, creep colony
Audity-x: Pylon, Gateway, Gateway, Pylon, Pylon, Assimilator, Pylon, Cybernetics Core

The Snafu's get it On

Audity-x strikes 1st, sending 5 zealots trekking across the map to Frost!^^'s expansion, defended by 12 zerglings and two sunkens. The zerglings move out and engage the zealots at the mineral only. After losing four of their number, they retreat to the sunkens, which are positioned behind the two hatcheries at Frost!^^'s natural expansion. The zealots wisely decide against striking this kind of defense, and retreat to Audity-x's base.

Frost!^^'s zerglings begin to follow, but Frost!^^ order's them back before they even get halfway across the map. They are redirected to an area north of the center, but under the 12 o'clock base.

Meanwhile, Audity-x adds a Citadel of Adun and Templar Archives, while Frost!^^ finally starts his extractor. Frost!^^ follows up with a hydralisk den and a Hatchery on top of his ramp, whereas Audity-x adds a stargate and starts a nexus at his natural.

Snafu, take Two

Audity-x again begins a trek to Frost!^^'s base, this time with nine zealots and three dragoons. On the way, they are discovered by a scouting zergling. Frost!^^ sends eight zerglings to engage the group, but they are killed with no losses. Frost!^^ also sends his original 12 zerglings, idling in the middle on a counter to Audity-x's base and begins morphing a lair and pumping hydralisks. Chaos ensues...

To summarize, both sides are beaten back, and Frost!^^ discovers Audity-x's Corsairs and DT.

What the heck is a Snafu?

After the battle, Audity-x adds a forge at his expansion and Frost!^^ makes a sunken on his cliff. Audity-x also goes overlord raping.

All of the sudden, both sides decide to move out. They meet in the center for a gigantic battle.

Audity-x now drops four more gates and expands to the 12 o'clock natural. Frost!^^ again moves out with a force of mainly hydralisks. Audity-x's forces move out to intercept them. What Audity-x doesn't know is that Frost!^^ has lurkers, and he has no observers. What Frost!^^ doesn't know is that Audity-x has a couple of giggling, A.D.D. High Templar. They commence to lay the smackdown on the hydralisks and then storm one of the lurkers to death.

Snafus Anonymous

Frost!^^ expands to his mineral only and again moves a hydralisk/lurker force out to the middle. He also lays down a pair of evolution chambers. Audity-x, on the other hand, fortifies his 12 natural expansion with two cannons.

A scouting zergling discovers the expansion, and Frost!^^ moves to overtake it in full force. Audity-x moves his whole army out to counter it, but finds that he is still somewhat contained by lurkers. He decides that it is worth the attrition to save the expansion, and continues on. After destroying the cannons, Frost!^^ focuses his hydralisk fire on the nexus, ignore the fire of Audity-x's main army, and succeeds in destroying the nexus.

There is some discussion over the cost-effectiveness of that attack, and then Audity-x storms the remainder of Frost!^^'s Lurkers. Audity-x's observer also arrives on the scene, and he compensates for the loss of his expansion by expanding to the 12 o'clock main.

Audity-x now moves on Frost!^^'s expansion, held by a few lurkers and sunkens. Frost!^^ moves all his hydralisks out to engage.

During the battle, Frost!^^ sneaks a single lurker into the 12 o'clock expansion, taking the nexus down to 250 hp before being dispatched by some dragoons and an observer. Also, Audity-x has been long-distance mining from 12 o'clock's natural to his main because his main has run dry.

It is worthy to mention that Audity-X currently has +1 attack, while Frost!^^ has +1 missile attack and +1 carapace.

A Snafu's Swan Song

Frost!^^ again heads out in full force, this time at Audity-x's 12 o'clock main expansion. Here he strikes gold, and succeeds in terminating the expansion. Audity-x, seeing as he only has one mining base and discovering a budding Frost!^^ expansion at the 6 o'clock main, concedes.

Scores:



And in the comments, someone please tell me if this zealot is dead or alive:
