Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

After getting viciously crushed by a few opponents in a row (not all replays will be here), Lobo tries his chance against another protoss, relying on Ultralisks mainly. But, as ultralisks are too slow off the creep, and unlike bw, they don't have speed upgrades, my toss opponent crushed them without trying.

Replay

And, so begins the part 4:

A New Hope

Losing game after game, Lobo was getting more and more hopeless after each loss. When wandering around the creeped lands of Char, Lobo met an old friend who is now a mature cerebrate.

Infrawhite: So, what brings you to me, young one?
Lobo: Nothing.. Ermm, I was just passing by.
Infrawhite: No-one passes by here, young one. What preoccupies your mind?
Lobo: You may have heard about it.
Infrawhite: Of course, young one. I hear about everything. But, I want YOU to tell me. Otherwise, I can not help.
Lobo: It's, well.. It's my broods. They have been crushed by executors of aiur and sons of korhal lately.
Infrawhite: Well, I see... Don't worry, I'll help you young one. And at the very end, you'll become a cerebrate like me.
Lobo: But how?! I just can't figure out what to do?! What is the problem ?! Hey, why are you not talking ?!
Infrawhite: Patience, young one. Don't be too hasty. Otherwise you'll be figured out by your enemies.
Lobo: So, what are we gonna do ?!
Infrawhite: Silence, young one.. Just listen.
Lobo: Listen to what?!
Infrawhite: Just keep silent, and blank your mind.
Lobo: OK, Master.

Lobo actually started to believe once his old friends, and his current master. He just blanked his mind. And he suddenly heard creep. According to what it says, an executor from Aiur came to invade Char! And it was his duty to prevail!

Infrawhite: So, you know your quest, young one.
Lobo: But master, how am I..
Infrawhite: Silence, young one. You'll know what to do, when the time comes.
Lobo: But..
Infrawhite: Just blank your mind, you'll know what to do. You'll be told how you're going to.
Lobo: By who?!
Infrawhite: By your force that made you able to sense the Executor's presence, by me, and by the master of all of us, the Overmind...
Lobo: Thank you for everything, my MASTER.

First time in his life, he called someone master that deep in his heart. But, forces of the executor were approaching. He remembered what his master said. He blanked his mind, and the overmind himself talked to him:

"Go 2 hatch muta, and don't get scouted or attack prematurely. In you, we trust, young cerebrate".

Now, play this before going on:



Lobo, lured his opponent to rocky deserts of Char, better known as Novice Desert Oasis. He took the advice of Overmind himself, and decided to go 2 hatch muta from then on. But there was one problem: He couldn't get enough gas for that many mutalisks. So, he expanded and expanded and got 6 geysers and sent drones to mine.

After getting some mutas, like 7, he heard his master:

"Lobo, you got some forces, you can attack him".

Lobo, with a very calm tone:

"No, master. I sense too many stalkers. I need at least 10 mutas."

Lobo, after having 10 mutas, started to rain death and destruction to the outpost of the executor. Killing so many probes, tearing apart pylons, and calmly avoiding direct engagements with stalkers while putting the executor in a supply block.

But what changed the fate of the war was, when Lobo scouted another Nexus of the executor. His mutas went there, rained death and destruction upon probes and their Nexus and already starting to enjoy the victory.

But not much time has passed, the executor had his forces to counter attack to Lobo's outpost. But, Lobo sensed that immediately and sent his forces to intercept that attack, and he did intercept that attack with letting none of the protoss invaders alive. After that, he and his remaining mutas attacked right on to the outpost of the executor, and suddenly the overmind contacted him:

"Take down the cybernetics core! It will prevent the executor from getting further stalkers!"

He did what Overmind said, while destroying the remaining 3 stalkers of the executor, which sealed the victory for himself, and the whole planet Char !!!

Lobo turned right back to where his master lives, and

Lobo: Master, I did it !!
Infrawhite: Congratulations, young one.. You passed your first test to be a cerebrate. But, you need to be aware that being a cerebrate is a long way. You need to take every single step carefully and calmly.
Lobo: Yes, master.
Infrawhite: But, not without celebrating your victory first. Your victory against the executor was nothing to underestimate.
Lobo: Yes Master!!!

Replay

Later that night, while Lobo was celebrating his well-earned victory, Overmind himself contacted Infrawhite:

Overmind: Well done, cerebrate. You took the impossible decision, and you succeeded. This is worth a good prize.
Infrawhite: I did this for Char, master. Young Lobo has a great potential, which can bring him to a great future under your command.
Overmind: I can see.. He also passed another test. He can take decisions on his own, without any premature mistakes, and execute this decisions calmly and carefully. Also it was good for you to take him into that test as well.
Infrawhite: Thanks, master..

Real story behind this:

One of my rl friends on battle.net (Infrawhite) is 1000+ Diamond, and he's also a zerg player. He said that Ultras alone, or with lings, can't be effective. I should either use infestors with fungal growth or don't use ultras in the first place. I took the second alternative, and it worked :D
