Just as the sexy medics was about to "get to know the marines better", ZeaLoTs tech unit moved out! Four lurkers raced out of the natural, burrowing in front of the m&m force, first hitting the medics who were put in front of the marines so Sven could retreat in time. And retreat they did! The marines ran the best they could, jumping bottomless pits and climbing world trade center like buildings. ZeaLoT was a smart guy though, and instead of following he rallied the lurkers in position, under Sven's cliff. One lurker burrowed, while a slow ovie came and airlifted two more lurkers onto the plateu. A marine volounteered to shot the overlord down, but was chased away by the low ground lurker. ZeaLoT landed his two lurkers, racing them further into the base and burrowing them. Sven quickly resonded to this ferry move, and with his first science vessel he attacked with a huge force of infantry, not only killing the two lurkers, but also another ovie with more lurkers on the way.
The next offensive move belongs to our norwegian "friend" Sven. At the 9 minute mark exactly, he took his excessive infantry force, consisting of 40~ units and a SV, on a run towards the middle, he just spotted the zerg expansion attempt and is keen on laying the smack down. Sven takes his veteran dudes away from the safety of the base, well what can I say? Never accept a norwegian boss. The marines run straight into a newly made lurker group, quickly realizing the futility of this they use their signature move: Moving their asses out off there. Sven just finished his cup of milk and finally realize what wuss shit his men are up to, he cleverly defence matrixes one off his marines, running him forward and attracting lurker fire like a Mark4 report. ZeaLoT is either not paing attention to the battle, or drunk and doesn't direct fire manually with his lurkers, but since he's not norwegian he wuickly unburrows his lurkers and runs them straight into the midst of the terran batalion. Sven, not being used to non-wuss strats, is surprised by this move and doesn't react fast enough to save his poor rines and they fall one by one at the might of the underground spines. Sven wuickly sieges up a tank, only a fe feet away from his natural. With the aid of a science vessel a lurker explodes in a fury of blood and another is irratiated (causing ZeaLoT to suicide it onto Sven's marines =) ZeaLoT is now down to five damaged lurkers now forgetting all about gosu micro, he runs them straight towards the lone tank, the lurker fail to ram it, but instead burrows right next to it, killing it with a huge boom, suddenly marines stim and fan out around the lurkers, a vessel casts the feared irradiate spell cutting the lurker count down to four. ZeaLoT realises he lost the momentum and "does a Sven", running his lurkers away.
After only a few minutes of stalemate, Sven has resorted to drinking milk straight from the cow, claiming: "Beer's for jerks. Milk aú natural i say!" This revitalizes him and soon he's ready for another go at the zerg swarm. 30 m&m's took their fingers out of eachother's asses and put that same finger on the trigger instead. The brave terran souls first spot some containment lurkers burrowed outside the base, without hesitation Sven sieges his tanks and lays the smack down. After only one arclite shot the lurkers unburrow and escape, Sven moves on knowing the surprise effect has worn off. And indeed it has, ZeaLoT is a clever little bastard and quickly lays down a plan. His lurkers hide behind the bottom right temple wall, hoping to surprise the pitiful humans. But are humans really this pitiful? Well Sven apparently isn't, he sieges his tanks on the other side of the temple wall, hammering down on the lurkers without resistance. ZeaLoT has a sizeable hydra army though, and throws them into the fray. This leaves the lurkers unatteded, a advantage that ZeaLoT uses to its fullest, he runs them close up to the marines, burrowing them straght in front of the terran army. But Sven isn't called EscapeSven for nothing, and moves his m&m a little back, while casting irradiate all over the shop. 4 Lurkers succumb at the hands of green shit (irradiate) and with the power of Teon (still remember him) the remaining tanks and marines move forward, using the matrix trick again. The gauss rifle echoes off the temple walls "ratatattata"(?) But suddenly it stops... "Woohoo" a marine screams out in joy, "The fuc*ing S**CENSORED**jews"
Since Sven is norwegian he.... ehhhhhmmm (OK I DONT HAVE ANYMORE NORWEGIAN JOKES!!!adsf;;:/&%). Sven barges into the alien infestation, killing a few hydralisk and feeling quite confident until a huge hydra/lurker group clashes head on into the rear of the terran attack. First a couple of innocent medics fall as underground spines surprises them, Sven takes his men into a tight formation, and starts picking away at hydralisks, but now's the time for ZeaLoT to play his best card: 12 Hydralisk stroll in from his main, spitting the best they learned at the tanks left behind, vessels cast their magic matrix and the tanks survive, losing only one of their numbers. Meanwhile the hydra swarm coming from the top has been decimated, huge pools of blood is all that's left of them. But Sven's had enough, he's at a very dangerous position, inside the natural valley. He unsieges and draws his men a little back towards west...
ZeaLoT is tired of Sven's constant retreating and decides to follow with a new team of 12 hydras from his main. Sven sends reinforcements down to the tanks trying to save every gas unit he can. As the hydras charge, i notice something funny. While Sven is microing his ass off, dancing around, ZeaLoT ain't doing shit... May his attention is somewhere else... And indeed it was, 8 lurkers run straight into the newly built terran expansion at the mineral only. They burrow and slaughters a few scv's and forcing Sven to save his CC by floaing it off. This lurker threat is quickly quelled by 5 vessels and the returning men from the attack on 6.
With the attack stopped, ZeaLoT is once again macroing like a whore, he expanded to the 12 main, and with 10 hatches running he quickly gathers up what can only be descibed as a "Ton of shit". The hydralisk rally at the front of Sven's mineral only, having fun and cracking jokes. Sven made a bold move and irradited a hydra in ZeaLoT's pack, it was promptly shot down by the other hydras =)
For once Sven actually reacted when he saw ZeaLoT's expansion attempt at 12. His now huge pack of misc. terran crap moved out, with the 12 expansion in mind. ZeaLoT has overlord floating all over the map at this time, and spots the attack ZeaLoT could have chosen to counter attack the now fragile terran main, but wanting to save his income he engages the "huge pack of shit". ZeaLoT's hydra come in from the south to surprise Sven, but ye olde norwegian is fast on his shortcut button, and sieges his tanks before you can say ROFL. They hydras once again cahrge in first, spitting at everything that moves, cutting down marines like grass with a M16, suddenly the lurkers run in from the east, the marines, guns blazing and sweat threatening to burst their helmet, doesn't see the imminent threat and gets completely caught off guard by the evil spines. The result was obsvious, blood fills the screen and Sven tries to salvage what he has left, he runs his marines back leaving the still sieged tanks by themselves which hydralisk and lurkers rapidly overwhelm.
