CrazyJim~LiZarD vs. Silver[ek]
Battleground:



DIRE STRAITS

Match One

Players:
CrazyJim~LiZarD - PROTOSS
Silver[ek] - PROTOSS

Game Length: 20:20

Both players start the game by choosing Protoss forces to command, and appropriately start on opposite ends of this island map. CrazyJim~LiZarD decides to gather mass resources before building units, electing to construct an Assimilator while Silver[ek] builds his first Gateway. Silver[ek], preparing for a shuttle-based land assault, begins to place Photon Cannons around his base while producing Zealots. Meanwhile, CrazyJim~Lizard manages to transport a Probe to a nearby island and start his first expansion.

By this point in the game, CrazyJim~LiZarD has scouted most of the map with Corsairs, Shuttles and Observers. After locating Silver[ek]'s base, CrazyJim~LiZarD transports one Dark Templar to the enemy island. CrazyJim~LiZarD then moves the Dark Templar around behind Silver[ek]'s resources and begins to surgically eliminate the enemy Probes. In response, Silver[ek] builds a Photon Cannon near his Mineral fields and eliminates the Dark Templar.

At this point, both players begin to build Corsairs in earnest. CrazyJim~LiZarD is the first to send out an airborne assault as he attacks Silver[ek]'s base. Silver[ek]'s Corsairs respond in turn and easily turn the attack aside. After a short respite, CrazyJim~LiZarD attacks with another squadron of Corsairs. Although Silver[ek] flees the battle, CrazyJim~LiZarD decided to pull back his seriously damaged fleet as well.

Silver[ek] then transports a few Dragoons and Zealots to a nearby island, presumably to start his own expansion. There he meets with the majority of CrazyJim~LiZarD's Corsairs and pays the price. With his own resources running dangerously low, and seeing that his opponent has taken control of a backbreaking resource node, Silver[ek] concedes defeat.

Victor: CrazyJim~LiZarD

PROVING GROUNDS

Match Two

Players:
CrazyJim~LiZarD - PROTOSS
Silver[ek] - PROTOSS

Game Length: 18:44

The might of the enigmatic Protoss would be tested as each player chooses to lead these powerful warriors into combat. Both players start the game out in the same fashion by building Gateways. As Silver[ek]'s Gateway was warping in, he decided to scout the map with a Probe. Taking a straight route down the right side, he easily found CrazyJim~LiZarD's base. As Silver[ex] withdrew his Probe, CrazyJim~LiZarD followed with a Probe of his own. Now both players knew the location of each other's bases.

A Zealot emerged from each player's Gateway simultaneously, and was soon followed by many more of his brethren. After CrazyJim~LiZarD had a few Zealots rallied, he went to investigate Silver[ek]'s base. After encountering a reception committee of Photon Cannons and a Zealots, CrazyJim~LiZarD elected to advance in the opposite direction.

In the interim, CrazyJim~LiZarD began to warp in Dragoons. Silver[ek], on the other hand, began construction of an expansion base on the opposite end of the map.

Again, the two players' Zealots met in combat. When Silver[ek] was finally forced to retreat, CrazyJim~LiZarD followed him into his base. The marauding Zealots attacked Silver[ek]'s buildings, but were soon killed by Silver[ek]'s freshly generated Zealots and a Photon Cannon barrage. Recognizing that his base was more vulnerable than he first thought, Silver[ek] goes on the defensive and builds Photon Cannons throughout his base.

CrazyJim~LiZarD has now amassed quite a few Dragoons and has located Silver[ek]'s expansion site with a wandering Zealot. CrazyJim~LiZarD sends a group of Dragoons and Zealots into Silver[ek]'s main base. Meeting with concentrated Photon Cannon fire, CrazyJim~LiZarD decides to take that same force into an easier target; Silver[ek]'s expansion. After making quick work of the smaller outpost, CrazyJim~LiZarD builds a horde of Dragoons and prepares for his final assault. Silver[ek] forgoes rebuilding his army in exchange for constructing more Photon Cannons. This proves to be an ineffective strategy and in a hail of explosions and scattering Probes, CrazyJim~LiZarD stands victorious.

Victor: CrazyJim~LiZarD
