[z zone]byun V.S. Grrrr...
This Battle Report brought to you by Mindthief
This is an old replay I found at Team Areola's website.It's a great match between Grrrr... and [z zone]byun at the
totaly underplayed (yeah right) map Lost Temple!
For those of you are less educated here is what it looks like!
The Fierce Combatants
Grrrr...is yellow protoss in the 3 O'clock
[z zone]byun is teal zerg in the 6 O'clock
Both of these players prefer these races and are pretty well know for being good players of thier respective race.
Let the game begin!
Grrrr...'s build order was 8 pylon(then scouted with that probe) 10 gate 11 gate 13 pylon 15 zealot.
byun's build order was 9 overlord 9 extractor(which he killed after making another drone and scouted with it) 11 hatch(at the choke) 13 pool 17 sunken.
RAHHHHHHHHHHHH CHARRRGE!!!!!(AKA The Early Game)
They each send a peon to each others base(eventually) and while Grrrr...'s probe runs in and scouts the zerg main at 6,
byun's little drone keeps pissing of the probes over at Grrrr...'s peon line.
Grr scouts byun with a choke hatch and a pool
byun scouts Grr with 2 gateways coming in at his choke.
Now, Grrrr... begins to mass zealots at his choke, and then moves them
to byun's natural,
while byun gets a sunken and 12 zerglings at his choke hatch. When Grr
sends in his zealots and a probe, he see's the strong defense and retreats his pansy ass zealots to his main, leaving the probe behind to watch for any attacking forces.
Soon after byun sends his ling forces into Grrrr...'s main. They mass outside of it and come in for an attack.
Grrrr... sends out his lone dragoon to kill the overlord he sees sitting by his base, only to have it ambushed by the swarm of lings.
Grrrr... then sends out his ~6 zealot force and takes out half the lings before they are wisely retreated by byun.
Byun retreats his forces back to the middle. While Grr is teching for templar back home.
I look over at byun's natural and see something rather disturbing. He has massed a LARGE group of hydras and lings, which looks like it could overun Grr's
base.Which only has ~7 zealots and 1 goon as well as a photon cannon guarding it.
Now, right out infront of Grr's gateways pop 2 high templar!But byun decides not to attack, instead he sends some of his forces over to the 12 main choke.
Now Grr has about ~12 zealots 2 high templar and a goon, as well as he has just popped down another gateway. And byun
has now taken his natural, and is setting up there keeping has gas going as it looks like he wants to keep making hydras, since that is the only tech structure he has as or right now.
byun sends an overlord over Grr's base, which is quickly dispoed of by Grr.
Now, Grr sends out his main army of ~12 zealots 2 templar a goon and a dark templar(which he scouts ahead with).
byun sees this coming because he as has an overlord over Grr's natural, and sends a small group of
6 lings, and 6 hydras to counter him.
They meet at the 3 mineral only, and Grr chases after byun's forces, while byun
runs them around the little temple wall trying to escape, because he relizes that his forces are outnumbered(perhaps because half of his hydras are back at home)
finnaly sending them back to his main, and then around back twords the 12 main's choke, very clever manuvering by byun.Meanwhile
Grr sends his guys to the 6 mineral only and gets attacked from behind by byun's little attack force.
The zealots win, but cannons advance into byun's base because he has 3 sunkens and a 4th morphing in!
Then byun does a counter-attack with his hydra force. They meet in the middle...byun puts his hydras
in a wall and tries to take out the zealots, but the zealots do the same thing and begin killing the hydras, but as byun begins
to flee his hydras a high templar raises his hand to the sky and calls upon a psionic storm to destroy the last hydras.
Status Report-10:24
Grr:Has his nat, and has a probe sitting at the 12 main.
Upgrades:0/0/1
byun: Has his nat, and is building a large defense.
Updrades:0/0
And the battle rages on!
Grr is mouting his forces near the 6 mineral natural, while scouting the 9 main for any zerg expansions with his dtemp, he is also sending in 2 more temlar and some zealots to back his other troops up.
byun is massing lings, with some lurker/hydralisk backup behind his 4 sunken defense, no doubt feeling that he is at a disadvantage
due to Grr's superior force. He notices Grr take his natural with his clever overlord scout.
byun sends one of his lurkers up to Grr's nat to try and take it out but is foiled by a psionic storm.
Meanwhile at Grr's natural he has put up a large array of photon cannons and is dropping down a robo facility back home.
byun decides to send his entire ling army of about 2-3 crtl groups and some lurkers twords Grr's base, while back home continuing to make
lurkers due to his high gas. Grr's dtemp attacks and kills a few lings forcing byun to retreat to
his mineral only where he has an overlord for saftey. There he brings out some more hydralisks and makes 4 more lurkers bringing his total up to 6.
Grr relizing that he will soon be facing lurkers, sets down an observatory and makes an observer right away. As well as begining to set up
a defense at the 12 main's choke, probably because he is going to expand there soon.
Grr then flys a shuttle over to the cliff above the 6 main and drops off a high templar, who doesnt have enough energy to storm yet. =(
Grr also builds two pylons on the cliff above his base, and expands with a nexus over at the 12 main.
Meanwhile there is a small zergling attack near Grr's natural that lures a few protoss out, but they quickly retreat. Grr
slaps down another forge and another gateway for some more tech and some macro.byun has been making zerglings and lurkers during this time.
He now has about 3 control groups of lings which are positioned in the lower-central part of the map and almost a control group of lurkers who are spread out
around the perimeter of Grr's nat.
A lurker drop by byun on Grr's cliff is quickly spoiled by some well placed photon cannons. While Grr
takes the bottom island and builds a gateway and 2 cannons at his 12 exp, while sending ~9 probes over to it. Back on the battle-front Grr
stroms some lurkers, but they are well spread out and only 2 are damaged, right as another overlord drops 2 more lurkers on Grr's
nat cliff. And drops some lings to take out that templar above his natural as well.
byun is continually bolstering his forces behind his wall o'lurks. Grr is making dragoons up his butt, and takes
the 12 natural, and sends an archon and a zealot to finish of those lurkers on his cliff, also with some well placed storms he takes out part of the zergs wall.
Grr begins to put his troops on the move.
Meanwhile byun is makings LOTS of lurkers at his base, at least 12, and taking his mineral only while droping 8 lings onto Grr's expansion at 12 and at the same time
razzing the 12 natural with some more lings. But Grr 's zealot force comes up and teachs the lings that took down his expansion a brutal lesson.
The ling drop force is destroyed by the same army befor they do any damage, while Grr's bottom island expansion is scouted, his lone dt comes over
and starts beating on the mineral only outside of 6.
The Battle for the Middle
byun is sick of Grr 's crap, so he sends out ~18+ lurkers into the middle right as Grr's
attack force of zealots comes in from the top, and his goons come in from the other side. As the zealot death cries flood the air, a force of hydralisks comes
and starts battleling with the dragoons south of the lurkers. With some well placed storms, and very nice dragoon formation Grr claims vicotry of the middle.
During that battle, a small contingent of lurkers is dropped on the 12 main, and Grr sends up his army of doom to finish the problem off.
The lurkers are quickly eliminated but a force of hydras come up twords the middle map again, out of byun's base. The combatants meet
twords the entrance to the 12 main, and with some great storming by Grr and byun keeping his units clumped together
the dragoons destroy the hydralisks with few casualties.
And the winner is...
Grr begins massing his army out by byun's mineral only, while byun sends
all of his hydralisks over behind his sunken wall. The goon army charges in! The Hydra army attacks from behind the sunkens. There is alot of blue flying everywhere, acid spores flying about the sky,
and blood everywhere. But as the smoke clears and the storms leave the sky, there is still a strong dragoon force standing tall atop the broken bodies of thier enemys.

Well, it was a good game on both sides, but there are definetly some lessons to be learned from this game.
1. Expansions do matter! byun didn't expand half as much as Grr and that may have cost him the game.
2. Also byun" did not upgrade and Grr's upgrades where rather far along by the end of the game.
3. Tech up, Grr teched up but byun did not,he never had any queens or anything.
