The Fine Line

[s]rated_replay[/s]

There is often a very fine line between a pimpest play and pure cheese, much like madness and love. This has got to be one of those plays that borders the realm of both.
oG)Nis and Blackjack in their usual 2v2 mayhem find a way to amuse themselves, their opponents and us, during what was to all appearances a hard and good game. I will leave the rest of the report in her own words.



United States Blackjack and I* joined a team on west called Siege-. After a couple of days, we were asked to play in a clan war vs USA. We played that clan war today (March 5) as the 2v2 team. The second game of the bo3 2v2 match was as TZ vs PP on Luna, left vs right. Always, striving for creativity, innovation, and a will to impress ourselves, we found a great opportunity to take advantage of those traits.

Around seven minutes into the game, Blackjack and I managed to penetrate into brown Protoss’s base. In attempt to kill some probes with style, Blackjack laid some mines down near the mineral line, and a nearby dragoon dragged it close enough to destroy some probes. But some mines were stuck and wouldn’t move, like a glitch. Puzzled, we sort of sat in silence for a moment.

First attempt to drag the mines into the probes fails by divine providence - the mines float and but don't follow, their foe is spared


I sent some new lings toward the brown Protoss base in attempt to smash something, and halfway down the map to the Protoss base, Blackjack said "… are you thinking what I’m thinking?" Hoping we were on the same telepathic level, I said" Let’s find out! @^_^@~!"

The lings care little about the goons, in single file and with a single track mind they seek their own death

Blackjack un-allies rebelling against the wishes of divine providence


I ran some lings through a gauntlet of dragoons and made my way to those glitched mines. Without mentioning the idea I had in mind, I ran toward the probes next to the mines, and sure enough, Blackjack unallied, dragging the mines to my zerglings and conquering several probes by doing so, to which the Protoss, in utter dismay, poetically replied, "…….. nice".

Kaboom, a rapture of blue protoss and zerg blood, and once again human deviousness rejects the will of the gods

I thought it was one of the more entertaining maneuvers displayed in Broodwar as of the past year or two, especially due to its spontaneity.
