Match 5 - Doom.... DOOOOOOOOOOOM
Things really started to heat up on Match 5 as Gamblor and Hamburglar teamed up for the First Time Ever. The scrubby, green newbie team known as Ghamburgloar would be facing the tested and true Braynotron a.k.a. Jimbraynor on their home turf of Backwater Gulch.
Well-familiar with the twists and turns of the local terrain from their early days as Marshall of Mar-Sara, and as banditos on the run before that, Jimb raynor seemed to be Holding All the Cards. But Gamblor would prove to have a trick or two up his sleeve; an ace in his hole, so to speak, while Hamburglar's mastery of the zerg swarm would roll with face-melting might.
Braynor's Mar-Sara brood opens with a daring evolution chamber rush on Hamburglar's creep
Likely seeing right through Braynor's plans, Hamburglar declines the Evolution Chamber Gambit, refusing to delay his evil plan. At precisely the same moment, Gamblor's marines came knocking at Braynor's front door. His evolution chamber defense proved Not Very Effective... against the mass of unupgraded marines churning out of Gamblor's four barracks.
Attack would be met with counter-attack as Jimbotron's zealous zealots charged up Gamblor's ramp. Gamblor, known for his inability/refusal to wall off properly seemed to be in a bad spot as zealots flooded his base. His Million Man March was marching back, but would they arrive too late to salvage what was left of their base?
Gamblor retreats his SCVs and lifts off, finishing the wall behind him in a shocking maneuver!
Zealots desperately attempt to break the reverse-contain, knowing that Hamburglar's roach army is on the way.... and hungry.
With Braynor's cheesy all-in rush proving about as effective as one would expect for a Mar Sara Brood, Jimbotron continued the aggression, hoping to break or at least cripple one of his two (2) foes long enough for Braynor to recover.
Jimbotron's follow-up attack meets a bottleneck. Without Zerg support, it is doomed to fail.
Hamburglar's roach swarm continued to grow, crushing all in its path, be they zerg, protoss or destructible rocks. The surviving protoss and zerg forces sought shelter behind roach-stomping immortals where they could, but soon enough Braynotron's forces were pushed into their main base, where they awaited...
Doom.... dooooooooom!!! Only the roaches survive in the aftermath of Gamblor's nuclear strikes
Match 5 goes to Ghamburgloar!
