So today I played a game on ladder (crazy right?) well it was no ordinary game. It was a ZERG VS RANDOM GAME
My opponent was a very nice chap and very kindly proceeded to tell me which race he had spawned as. But by a small stroke of misfortune, he had actually missread his own race and had actually spawned as protoss!
Honourably, he began to make do with the card RNGsus had dealt him. But though he had told me his race, I did not trust the fiend and drone scouted his base anyway.
Unknown to his shenaniganry, I opened hatchery first as 15 hatch is the build players use in Proleague and GSL. I felt satisfied with my KtLife-esque opening, but before I could brag about my perfect 15 hatch timing in the fray skype group, my opponent scouted my base with his probe and revealed his true race (and identity!).
The plot twist didn't end there, for once I scouted his main base I saw no building in sight. I had been had!
I quickly cancelled my hatchery and immediately placed a spawning pool, for I knew soon the zealots of Jehovas witness would soon be knocking on my doorstep
I valiantly rallied the drones, who hid their wives and children within the hatchery and fought for their lives against the foreign threat! The drones held their line but they were taking heavy loses.
The drones fought long and hard. As their bretheren fell they continued to fight for their homeland.
Eventually, the foreign threat was removed and the base stabilised! Corporal spine and Sergeant Queen took control of the battle field as Combat squad Zerglingu Bravo took to the field.
But the war was far from over. As the game continued, I got my serious face on, determined to prove to my units I was a compitent commander. I droned my main hard, spread creep, took a natural expansion and then I err, built 2 roach warrens... dunno why
Maybe I thought the first one got lonely?
The identity confused protoss then followed up with one of the meanest pushes available to the Protoss arsenal, an Immortal sentry all in off not one, but TWO BASES! *gasp*
Luckily Sergeant Queen's creep spread had aided our forces handsomely, for the hydralisks and zerglings were slipping and sliding around like Formula 1 race cars on the creep. As the enemy pushed against our walls, things started to look grim. But favour had striken the zerg forces, for our terran friend had forgotten that sentries had the map editor ability!
I SWOOPED IN WITH MY HYDRAS AND SNIPED HIS MOTHERSHIP MID RECALL
Chaos erupted as my Hydras and Zerglings ravenously attacked the hapless immortals and sentries.
The sentries, now under threat of their robotic non sentinent lives, suddenly remembered they had the map editor ability again, but it was too late!
The zerg brood rallied, waved the banner for their fallen drone ancestors and beat back the terran forces all the way to their homeland. They then attacked and crushed the terran force from planet Overgrowth LE!!!
We had won!!!
gg!! Thanks for reading, I hope it wasn't too long or had too many images, I feel like it did but oh well, was a fun blog to write Cheers!
Great writeup! Many badges of honour should had been awarded this day.

This is probably one of the main reasons why Chase is one of my favourite team partners ^_^ He almost always starts our games saying something ridiculous or 'serious' to our opponents.
I remember once he told me, dw nem go nexus first
I knew we had 2 zerg opponents but hey, chase said nexus first
So confidently I took a nexus first so he must have a plan right?
then mid early game Chase says
OMG it's 2 ZERGS!!!!
