Lifetime Rating for Ioti: 7.3333 |  | Well, after approximately 6 hours (exaggerating here) of putting up with server splits and crashes (not here), I finally was able to get a 2v2 game going on Bridge Too Near. Players were:
Me Zerg Upper Left
DoomDragon Protoss Lower Left
vs
Shady1 Terran Lower Right
Resident_Alien Upper Right
Usually when I get Zerg, I do a 7 drones, pool, 2 ol, 6 zergling build. But since this was a 2v2 I decided to opt out of that and get more initial drones.... so instead I did 8 drone, 2 ol, 12 drone, pool. Slightly after I got my initial 6 zerglings out, Shady sent a marine scouting my way.... 5 of my zerglings started chasing after him, but I wanted them to stay put. I got about 12 zerglings, then layed down a second hatch closer to my gas. During this time Resident_Alien decided to lay down a few bunkers in the middle. DD and I attacked them with Zealots and Zerglings, making quick work of them. Then about 12 marines and 4 medics came down from Resident's base, but they died quickly.
Right about now my 2nd hatch finished, and I got four drones on gas. I got up about 24 zerglings, and DD had some Zealots. We decided to double team Resident. He had some bunkers behind depots, which was a bit annoying, but he left a hole to get to the bunkers behind the depots, and they were swarmed. He decided to lift off all his liftable buildings, which consisted of a CC, two rax, and a factory. Unfortunately neither of us had hydras or goons yet, but I quickly laid down a den, and double laired. Meanwhile, we made quick work of the remnants of Resident's base. Resident was moving his buildings towards his natural, but right after he landed ZZ's (Zerglings and Zealots) starting attacking it again. He lifted them off again, and moved his factory to the middle of Shady's base, his rax floating above Shady's natural, and his CC to MY natural. (Though I didn't figure this out right away) My Den had finished by this time, and I researched lurkers while I spawned some hydras. Shady sent up some small infantry squads from time to time, causing us slight grief, but nothing serious.
I got about 8 hydras and then DD suggested I check my natural to see if there was anything there. I sent a hydra up, and sure enough, Resident had planted himself there. He sent up some goons, and we made quick work of the 2 SCVs. He was able to retreat his CC between the cliffs, but by this time DD had a Scout and he finished off the CC. Resident stuck around to watch.
I spawned about 12 or so hydras, plus a few lurkers, and a lot of zerglings, and we decided it was time to mow down Shady. He had about 16 zealots and 12 goons. There was little resistance, only some bunkers and a couple seige tanks. After we polished off Shady's main and Resident's factory (grin), we ran into the last big problem. Shady had expanded to his natural, and he had a bunker at the top of the ramp. However, he had about 12 SCVs surrounding it and repairing it at all times. Plus he had medics. I think we lost about 48 zerglings, 16 hydras, and 16 goons total to that stupid bunker. I brought in my lurkers, which had been staying back, and killed about half the SCVs before he was able to fry them from the bunker. During this time DD killed the turret that was sitting up there, but I hadn't noticed.
I got some more lurkers while he got some DTs. Meanwhile Shady had built another bunker, and my lurkers started attacking that. DD ran his DT's up and started slashing at everything, including a tank. Shady was able to comsat and kill two of the four templars, but then I burrowed my lurkers just left of another bunker he had built up there, and I started pounding on it. It was lost quickly. I then moved my lurkers up and burrowed them right in the middle of everything. The building didn't fall very quickly, but for some reason he didn't even try to lift them off. I brought in some hydras, because Resident still had his rax floating up there. GGs were exchanged, and the battle ended.
And an unrelated picture, of a battle I had with a friend about a week ago:
ACK!!! CARRIER ATTACK!!! (I'm losing here, in case you can't tell. :-) |
