Seeing that my past few BW Battle Report blogs have been fairly well received despite being rather straight-up games, I decided to scour my replay folder from back when I was more active for some weird and fascinating StarCraft.

Thing is, with new macro maps, it's hard for games between good players to be "weird", and if the skill disparity is too large then it's simply a curbstomp in which any strategy would have worked anyway. On some old maps though, anything goes.

And so, the scene of our tale today shall be... Neo Requiem. Our fighters are:

CrAzY[x.1]: Old school BW Terran player, should be known by quite a few of you guys. Is offracing as Protoss this game.

dredredre: Another great old school player, offracing as Terran.

If it was these two playing straight up we might get an entertaining game nonetheless. But offrace, and on an odd map... hilarity ensues. You see, for offrace matches to be good, both players can't suck. But they can't be too good either. It's quite a delicate balance.

Enough jabber, let the games begin.

PART 1

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
As your color commentators for the match today, we have Synikall and yours truly, Funnytoss. Although I'll mention that Synikall pretty much types nonstop throughout the game. CrAzY at 9 o'clock, dredredre at 3 o'clock.

[image loading]
Right off the bat, a wtf moment. CrAzY, you do realize this is PvT, not PvZ, right?

[image loading]
Ah, the standard PvT cannon rush. Of course!

[image loading]
dredredre suspects nothing. 15nr amirite?

[image loading]
... okay, something's wrong with this picture.

[image loading]
It's a race between whether the siege tank builds faster, or the cannon does! My money's on the siege tank. Cannons take FOREVER to warp in -___-

[image loading]
Synikall sums up the situation fairly well for CrAzY.

[image loading]
Zealots want a piece of the action! Buying time for the cannon to warp in!

[image loading]
No words necessary.

[image loading]
SCV imba.

[image loading]
Synikall wisely explaining CrAzY is fucked. He wasn't cheesy enough.

[image loading]
This game is strange enough as it is, but dredredre is taking it up a notch.

[image loading]
I bet he has something innocent planned...

[image loading]
And you see why Requiem is such an awesome map. Mineral line creating artificial wall to allow for perfect siege tank harass? Perfect!

[image loading]
In the meantime though, dredredre is finding it harder than he should to break out of his upward ramp. Dragoons snipe their first tank!

[image loading]
And another!

[image loading]
Synikall conveying the situation to the viewers profoundly. "Fail"

[image loading]
He suspects nothing.

[image loading]
Almost 8 minutes into the game, citadel warping, and no expansion in sight. BW is so standard and boring, let's go watch some ball vs ball action.

[image loading]
Like a pro, CrAzY senses something is up with his STARSENSE, and hops a probe over the mineral lines! Is dredredre's sneaky proxy fac plan doomed?

[image loading]
Proberto messed with the wrong SCV today. The secret is safe!

[image loading]
... dredredre is accumulating quite the army here O.o

[image loading]
Neo Requiem's architecture lends itself to some interesting strategies. Elevator drop!

[image loading]
Protoss ain't ever pushing these guys out. Not without disproportionate losses, at least.

[image loading]
dredredre deflected the elevator fairly well, but the reaver swings around the front for a breaking attempt!

[image loading]
The tank goes down!

[image loading]
KABOOM! The Protoss in me sheds manly zealot tears for CrAzY's precious Probertos.

[image loading]
KABOOM! Bring back the Reaver in SC2, Blizzard!

[image loading]
Tank down! dredredre is starting to feel the heat!

[image loading]
At the same time, the proxy tank is starting to shell the Nexus...

[image loading]
The attempt to dislodge these unwelcome intruders fails, with the shuttle *barely* getting away with one hit left.

[image loading]
The Terran consolidates his position and prepares to take advantage of his overwhelming economic advantage!

[image loading]
Nexus down! Where is your Adun now, puny Protoss?


PART 2

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Vultures mining up the front, and CrAzY hasn't even started an observer yet. Time for calls of "Fantasy GG-timing"?

[image loading]
No! The brave reaver/shuttle duo attempts to delay the dreaded 12 minute 3 tank 2 vulture 1 SCV Terran push!

[image loading]
Shades of Reach vs Oov. Except Reach was in better position.

[image loading]
However, never count a Protoss out! CrAzy begins his best Mantoss impression!

[image loading]
[insert Korean commentators going: "AAAAAHHHHHHHHH REEBO REEBO" here]

[image loading]
[insert cheering fangirl orgasms here]

[image loading]
As always, Synikall knows exactly how to sum up the atmosphere of the game.

[image loading]
Zealots prepare to hunt down a straggling tank! None shall escape to tell their tale of woe!

[image loading]
RUN, FORREST, RUN!

[image loading]
Incredibly determined, CrAzY picks up his zealots in a speedshuttle to continue hunting dredredre's tank.

[image loading]
Mission accomplished!

[image loading]
dredredre attempts to sneak some vultures into the base, but through a stroke of luck (or mad epic skills?) CrAzY just happens to have two zealots blocking the ramp, preserving his probe line!

[image loading]
However, having been stuck on one base for the entire game (pretty much), CrAzY's starting to run low on minerals!

[image loading]
Another skirmish in the middle of the map!

[image loading]
Time for some Bisu-esque goon vs mine micro!

[image loading]
Alternatively, some sweet minedragging. Shades of the Mantoss. Except with walking goons and no shuttle.

[image loading]
Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

[image loading]
Not *exactly* the most PC way to put it, but I suppose it's morbidly accurate.

[image loading]
Just a reminder that this SOB is still there denying the Protoss expansion.

[image loading]
I feel you brother, I feel you. T_T

[image loading]
This shuttle with zealots begs to differ regarding our proclamations of doom and gloom, however!

[image loading]
No way.

[image loading]
I have this feeling that mines have killed more Terran units than Protoss units this game

[image loading]
CrAzY puts up a valiant fight, and with dwindling resources he has to end this now! But it's mined out P vs 1.5 base T...

[image loading]
Focus fire! Two tanks down!

[image loading]
O.o

[image loading]
NEVER GIVE UP! TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!

[image loading]
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!

[image loading]
For the record, I officially proclaim that I shall gladly give up my online handle to CrAzY if he asks for it.

[image loading]
I can't believe what I just watched O_O

[image loading]
More mine dragging!

[image loading]
Last tank, 34 minerals, no bases mining for either side. Might I remind you that all this started with a cannon rush.

[image loading]
And there was much Protoss rejoicing and sacrificing to Adun that day.

[image loading]
dredredre understands what really matters. A moral victory, if you will.

[image loading]
Well fought by both sides.


Hope you enjoyed this longass Battle Report! Feel free to take a look at my previous ones here:
