Russell Cup Invitational Season Two (2) LAN Event Spectacular a Success!
Well it’s that time again, folks. With the Russell Cup Invitational Season 2 LAN Spectacular Part One (1) at an end, fans are still recovering from all the twists, turns and startling upsets found only in competition of this caliber. Rusty Russellson here, reporting on the events from My Computer.
A total of nine (9) official games were played at the event, and the eager fan(s) finally got to see the mysterious Hamburglar in action as he Took on All Comers, playing in each and/or every match of the event.
Though not officially ranked, fans were delighted by the 1v1 exhibition match between Hamburglar and Jimbotron in which Hamburglar’s creep tumor contain was met by Jimbotron’s mass planetary fortress strategy.
The real matches began shortly after technical difficulties and/or tweaks were made to the event’s gaming booth(s). Things started off hot in Scorched Haven as Braynotron took on the new team known as Brewdurglar of Deaths and Sex.
Braynotron vs Brewdurglar of Deaths and Sex
FIGHT!
The match was over in minutes as Braynotron opted for an ultra-quick rush of scvs, marines and a zealot/stalker combination. It was Braynor’s marines that led the assault, with his half-dozen (6 {six}) barracks churning out a non-stop stream of dozen(s) of marines per minute, supported by a massive amount of SCVs intent on soaking up damage and fortifying the position with bunkers. The (some say overly) aggressive attack proved incredibly successful against the trio of marines trained from a single barracks and Hamburglar soon found himself forced to lift-off, taking refuge in Brewdwarf’s Protoss Fortress in order to stay in the game.
Not known for their overwhelming numbers, but instead for the overwhelming might of what few forces they field, Brewdwarf’s Protoss Krew seemed to have this game well in hand with nearly no standing army to speak of. This would prove false, however, as Jimbotron’s three zealot and stalker combined with the 20+ marines and scvs managed to shatter the sentry defenders and claim the scorched wastes in the name of Braynotron and leaving Brewdwarf fuming over the loss.
Five marines against fifty? Hamburglar's marines make their last stand.
