Spoiler: Battle Report #2 (Not as long but still long)
Once again the early game is quite boring.
He decides we're playing sim city and has three command centers up and running by the 5:30 mark.
Image

A truly thrilling start to any game.

He actually doesn't start building units until an overlord slowly drifts into his base.
Image

He thought he was playing Simcity not Starcraft.

Once again when life hands me
lemons
an immobile opponent who can't put any pressure on I make
lemon-aid
mutalisks and paint the map purple.
Image

It turns out a zerg left alone with four hatcheries can make workers faster then a terran with 3 command centers.

By the time he finally moves out I'm sitting at supply cap and have a huge bank built up.
Image

He cunningly flanks one of my creep spreading queens.

Image

God save the queen.

I admire his determination and his macro is impeccable. He keeps building armies and sallying forth to attack me but sadly for him this game is already over.
Image

He's macroing, I'm winning.

Army after army march to their death.
Image

He would have been a terrific general in WW1.


Eventually he ran out of minerals at his bases and the game ended with an anti-climatic GG.

Spoiler: Battle Report #3 (Fairly Short)
I go for the basic hatch first opening but things take a turn for the weird when my scouting worker realizes that they've hard-walled themself in.
Image

What?

I move my initial overlord into checkout his base because he's obviously up to something.
Image

When your secret plan is foiled by a blimp with a top speed of 3mph you should probably stop and reconsider what you're doing.

Seeing the robotics facility I know that his only option is some sort of warp prism so I just drop some static defense at each mineral line.
Image

At this point I'm starting to wonder if I kicked the matchmakers dog.

To top things off he flies his warp prism directly at the watchtower to make it even more obvious.
Image

The most confusing thing here isn't why he's flying directing into a watch tower, it's why he's researching blink.

Image

2 Queens and 4 lings > his all-in.

Image

He then flies to my natural and tries again there?

This time his masterplan works and he manages to warp in one DT before the queens kill the warp prism.
Image

Success?


He left the second the DT died but the story doesn't end here because I was compelled by a strange mix of confusion and pity to try to help this poor soul.
Image

lol indeed.


I'm 3-0 at this point and really confused.
