Just a game I played and that turned out quite fun and long. Thanks algue for making this awesome map!

Part1:
Banelings, Backdoors and Bad Manners.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Once upon a time on a little snow map called Expedition Lost some skillless cheeser called Jay decided to play the best ZvZ build ever.Fuck, this guy really knows me

[image loading]
Shit, shit, shit. Pool first defense. This guy is ready.

[image loading]
Plan B: more rush! Fuck Drones!

[image loading]
After canceling his hatchery with an otherwise unsuccessfull attack, he reveals the truth. He is really my brother! (not)
But at least I have a hatchery finishing and I'm catching up in the drone count. Who cares about tech and supplies, right?


[image loading]
knock, knock, someone there?

[image loading]
thank you algue for this backdoor!

[image loading]
juicy drone kills! And what is that he is building?

[image loading]
You could have just used the door if you wanted to come in there!

[image loading]
So the front it is?

[image loading]
Hello handsome! Nice to meet you!

[image loading]
That does not look like it could work, better get back out of there... Upgrades good unit, maybe I should get some of them too. lol

[image loading]
Uh, backdoor!!! And it's already open, how nice of you!

[image loading]
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I guess I had to give that one up. But look, I'm upgrading! 1-1 started when his 2-2 finishes. Am I behind? :D

[image loading]
Distraction. Hey, three roaches in your main...

[image loading]
... I love it when a plan comes together!

[image loading]
More backdoor! Algue, I looooooooveeeeee you!!!

[image loading]
48roaches, 7hydralisks and 2-2 against 46roaches with 1-1.

[image loading]
Am... äh?? Sometimes this game just doesn't make any sense at all!




Part2:
Such Aggression!

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
no more roaches for you... for now! Should I mention I came in through the backdoor, or would that be excessive?

[image loading]
No roaches left behind...

[image loading]
... because I need you to use the front door!

[image loading]
Dicey!

[image loading]
Thanks Flying Spaghetti Monster, for that slow unloading speed!

[image loading]
Meanwhile killing a useless evolution chamber. Out of principle! Has nothing to do with me forgetting that I sent those guys through the backdoor!

[image loading]
That genius move!!!! Such skill, kill the rocks, go in through the shortway backdoor while cutting him off!

[image loading]
It's over Anakin! I have the highground!

[image loading]
That did not go as planed...

[image loading]
Well screw it, more harass! This time through the third base backdoor!

[image loading]
Don't mess with the boys. Desperation defense!

[image loading]
Drones too strong, ban incoming!




Part3:
Expansion, expansion! My kingdom for an expansion!

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
I spy with my little eye.

[image loading]
No fourth base for you!

[image loading]
Time for a killing blow, right?

[image loading]
The remainders of my once so great army on the run.

[image loading]
Through the backdoor, yeah right, as if that ever works!

[image loading]
Something, something, energy units.

[image loading]
You shall not pass! That backdooring noob...

[image loading]
Repreoted for winning a battle. Oh shit.

[image loading]
Find the burrowed roaches in this picture. I didn't.

[image loading]
Oh fuck!

[image loading]
Oh double fuck!

[image loading]
Oh triple fuck!

[image loading]
Oh quadruple fuck!

[image loading]
Hero drones part 2!

[image loading]
The boys stand victorious! That burrow tech nearly turned it around once more, good thing...

[image loading]
...he is mined out on 3bases...

[image loading]
... and I still have a healthy economy!


So what did I learn in this game? If you 10pool baneling, you will have more money left than your opponent. Best lategame strategy confirmed.
And that sometimes battles make no sense at all and upgrades are useless, lol.


Thanks for reading!

Backdoors are fun! Nice game, although you should hide the replay progress bar next time so I can't see how long the game is

As a man who struggles with this match up despite playing it 60 percent of the time I appreciate what can be learned here that was pretty great
