So there I was the other day, playing a series of laddergames as Zerg, minding my own business, winning some, losing some, generally being jolly and merry about the games unfolding, when all of a sudden an achievement pops up...
Unbreakable! - Destroy 40 units with a single unit in a single league game.
I didn't really think much further about it, as it popped up during a micro-intensive battle situation.
"Cool beans" I thought to myself. I don't really care about achievements and I rarely pay any attention to my unit kill counts.
I played on, focusing on the particular game against my fearsome opponent in The Silver League (hereinafter referred to as 'TSL'). My territory. No masters league players or even diamond players ever dare enter this turf.

Only later, when I was done playing, having a relaxing shower, whistling my favourite tune, and once again, minding my own business, i felt a shiver down my naked spine, as my cerebral cortex struggled processing the events that the aforementioned gaming session had scarred into my memories.
All of a sudden I had a "heywaitaminute!?"-moment. An epiphany of sorts, and I instantly had to towel up and go to my computer to investigate further. I had realized something harrowing. A foul feeling came upon me and dark thoughts clustered my mind, as I tried focusing on this new revelation I had stumbled upon.
My hands trembled as I logged into my Battlenet account and I frantically started scrolling through the replays. Could this be true? Was I correct in my freshly formulated assumptions?
Still damp from the shower, and starting to sweat and twitch nervously, I finally found the correct replay. The one that would tell the tale of my achievement, from hours earlier...
Stressed out, I frantically spammed the "+" key to make the replay go faster, to swiftly reach that ominous point in the battle, when the achievement had reared it's demonic head.
I sought across the map, Tal'Darim Altar, for proof of my dark theory and yes - the answer suddenly appeared. It stood there, as crystal clear as I had feared. As a neon sign blinking it's alluring message to me...
Behold what I saw:
