After losing two games to a terran with a three letter acronym for a login, Slayers decided that seemed to be the way to go and sent out their captain, the legend-killer MMA, for the ultimate duel on Dual Sight. He spawned at 8 with MVP at 2; both of them started with a one rax expand before throwing up two more barracks. MMA’s choice of a scouting reaper paid off with 4 SCV kills before sneaking out the back of the base, as well as providing enough scouting information for MMA to make the ballsy choice of trying to sneak a gold base at 5 o’clock. MVP used his star-sense to scout it out almost as soon as it finished, but was only able to force it to relocate to the 6 o’clock expansion. Having failed to eliminate the extra expansion, MVP began multipronged marine harass while he massed up a tank-marine army. MMA stuck with marine-medivac and quickly realized he couldn’t fight MVP’s tank-backed push to 6 o’clock, so he simply let his orbital command, originally built at the 5 o’clock gold, complete its cross-map migration the 11 o’clock gold.MMA finally got sick of being pushed around the map by tanks and started building his own, but promptly lost his first batch due to sloppy control. He continued to dance around in front of MVPs army, forcing MVP to siege and then retreating while the economy from his so-far-secret gold base kicked in. It wasn’t until MVP was ready to take the gold as his fourth that he discovered MMA had been mining it for a while; this prompted him to push in at MMA’s natural. Knowing he couldn’t fight a tank push straight up, MMA looped around to hit MVP’s third. In a moment of indecision, MVP pulled back a part of his army to try to defend while leaving the bulk of his tanks to continue the push. Superior upgrades and superior numbers let MMA’s attack annihilate MVP’s first wave of defense, forcing him to unsiege his tanks and begin the long trek home. MMA saw the opportunity he’d been waiting for and pounced on the undefended tanks; MVP rushed in with his remaining marines to try to defend and ended up losing both the tanks and the marines.At this point the supplies were drastically in MMA’s favor, but a crack team of marines managed to eliminate his gold base, leaving both players not mining and giving MVP a ray of hope. After some inconclusive fighting outside MVP’s natural, MMA decided to pull back, re-claiming the 6 o’clock base instead of pushing his luck. MVP sieged up and floated his natural orbital to the 12 o’clock, but MMA was already rebuilding at the 5 o’clock gold, further extending his lead. The two engaged in some fancy siege tank positioning dances while MVP dropped the gold and thinned MMA’s SCV herd. MMA countered with an elevator drop in MVP’s main, eliminating a significant number of production buildings at the cost of a few siege tanks. He then dashed over to siege the mineral line of MVP’s last mining base, forcing MVP to unsiege and try to push him out. MMA seized the moment to stim in with his bio and eliminate the last of MVP’s tanks, and with them IM’s hopes to retain the team league crown. MVP GGed, and the entire Slayers team flooded onto the stage and started hurling players into the air at random.
