Young ones...

Beware. Searching within the gloom of TL's dark history can lead one to peril. Among the onyx, one can find the obsidian, and the ichor. I recently braved the madness and emerged rewarded, with a gem of a thread:

>>Clash of the Titans I<<

In it was a story of a fair knight, defending his honour against the onslaught of a ruthless barbarian. Using his god given talents of speed, cunning, and dashing good looks, the young knight beat back the darkness from whence it came.

Now the threat arises again.

Clash of the Titans: Mustaine's Revenge

Back from his snowy realm the barbarian reemerges from years of training. He is faster, strong, and smellier. Our brave knight once again rises to face the challenge, but this is not the knight of old. He is older, slower, and more deliberate. Age has weathered his face and crippled his hands.

Inside though, the rage burns hot, and threatens to emerge in a raging torrent at the slightest provocation.

The Terms

The match is a 9 game marathon, spanning each of the starcraft matchups. The first battle will be terran vs terran. From that point on, the loser of the battle will select the next map and matchup.

After nine games are played a victor will stand tall over his vanquished foe.

The reward for victory? Besides the obvious wealth, glory and endless stream of virgin maids that routine accompanies such battles, the loser will be forced to buy and send a bottle of Ballantines twelve year old scotch to the winner. In addition, the loser will recognize the victor as their superior in Brood War and all aspects of life, until such time as battle is drawn again.

Live Reports

Game 1: The evil barbarian selected a BULLSHIT map, and narrowly squeaked out a win TvT on longinus.

1-0 for conan's red headed step-child

Game 2: Infused with the powers of Jaedong, our hero counter punches with a resounding win ZvT on Tau Cross.

1-1, its so tense, i cant watch!

Game 3: With both fighter bloodied from the initial tilts, the scene shifted to Katrina for a zerg vs protoss matchup. Our hero, cloaked with the power of the swarm, watched as his opponent built up a fierce army powered by a FE build. With deliberate and ruthless aggression, our hero pinned the protoss to his base, allowing him to tech to his favorite dinner, cow. Despite the scourge of invisible ninjas, zerg prevailed.

2-1 for the light!

Game 4: Back to the bloody battlefield of Tau Cross we go. This time roles were reversed, as our hero was forced to play terran against the fearsome swarm. With amazing (questionable) unit control, the terran took vengeance for their fallen comrades and the score further tilted in favour of justice.

3-1 for goku.

Game 5: PvZ on Blue Storm. The heros of Aiur, bannermen to our cause, answered our summons with a resounding victory on the blue alien terrain of Blue Storm.

4-1 for jesus.

Game 5: With the fate of the rebel cause hanging by a thread, the final match was PvT on Longinus. The terran army smashed hard at the protoss encampment, but...

+ Show Spoiler +

NINJA'S! THOUSANDS OF THEM (ok three) snuck into the terran main and vivisected the hapless scv. With the brave zealots throwing themselves into tank fire to delay the push, the espionage tactics won the day.

5-1 for Jamie Lannister.
