vAldiCi whooped Sinister Eagle in a 1v1


This game is played on a headmaster's holiday on the 28th of Febuary of 2000 where there is a 29th.... but whatever....this, I believe, is the first official battle report being filed in the year 2K, but so what....


  • Map: Dark Continent (8)
  • vAldiCi: Red Protoss
  • Sinister Eagle: Orange Zerg



    This game is played on the 8 player map Dark Continent. Me (Sinister Eagle) and vAldiCi squared off with me starting in the lower middle while he started on the middle bottom right. After looking around in the surroundings, i saw the ledge, the only entrance to my base. We were both trying to find where the other is while building up, and so we did. I hatch ramped with 4 sunkens, and added some ling. I morphed to lair and went on to my usual ling/mutie build. By now, i have found his base, but he hasn't found mine yet.

    I tried to expand to the bottom left, but before the hatch was done, his goons came, so i cancelled and burrowed. He still haven't found my base, but i knew that he has expanded to the bottom right. I tried to expand at the same spot again, this time, with a little more success. He had finally found my base and was sending goons up the ledge to meet my 4 sunkens. The ledge is small enough to not allow many goons going up, but my 6 burrowed lings certainly didn't help him to proceed either.

    I attacked a couple times with small amounts of lings and some muties, however, some storms and goons and cannons stopped me dead in my tracks. I couldn't expand, and he has massive firepower that i can't destroy. I came again with corsairs while i was harrasing his probes. I didn't get very far. I make my normal mistake of not having some spore colonies around. but my scourges took care of the corsairs. By now, he has expanded again, this time to the spot to the left of the bottom right one. I used my last desperate attempt to expand after my initial minerals were used up. No attacks came yet and i was half rejoicing, thinking that my defense might've worked... what a naive thought... a couple minutes later, my top middle new expansion was very very thoroughly trashed. That was a big ammount of goons, and there was nothing that i could do to save myself... I saw an arbiter near the right side of my main base but my 2 trusty spore colonies brought it down. I realized that a goon recall drop is coming, yet i can't do anything about it. I have around 500 minerals, so i expanded one last time on the middle left. vAldiCi has become confident from my swears that i have lost hope and cannot hope to win: he was right. He shared vision with my, while i watch in horror that more goons are present at my door ...

    Finally, he did another recall dragoon drop on my remaining expansion... And that was it. vAldiCi soundly defeated Sinister Eagle.
