Being in a particularly bloodthirsty mood, both players decide to lead the voracious Zerg into battle. X`Ds~Grrrr… and [s]thor both scout the map and find each other fairly quickly. Looking for a fight that is going to be resource intensive, they both move for an early expansion before building any combat oriented units. X`Ds~Grrrr… builds up a group of Zerglings and stations them on the defensive while [s]thor also builds up Zerglings. [s]thor commences an early attack against X`Ds~Grrrr…'s expansion, but X`Ds~Grrrr… is able to drive back the attack with Zerglings of his own.

After replenishing their Zergling force, both players switched strategies as X`Ds~Grrrr… upgrades to a Lair, and then evolves a Spire as he moves along the path to creating Mutalisks. [s]thor decided to hatch Hydralisks. During this time, both players send their Overlords to scout out what the other is doing.

[s]thor sends in a group of Zerglings, but quickly retreats in fear of X`Ds~Grrrr…'s Mutalisks. X`Ds~Grrrr… continues to build up his wings of Mutalisks and sends a group of them after [s]thor's Overlords, killing at least one of the vital creatures.

X`Ds~Grrrr… then sends a group of Mutalisks in to attack [s]thor's base, but they were driven off by [s]thor's Hydralisks. X`Ds~Grrrr… plots a course for his Mutalisks and uses an airborne assault to kill the laboring Drones at [s]thor's expansion site. [s]thor's rushes to defend the node with his Hydralisks and fights off the invaders. Having secured his expansion, [s]thor moves his Zerglings and Hydralisks up toward X`Ds~Grrrr…'s base.

X`Ds~Grrrr… takes this opportunity to send in a group of Mutalisks to attack [s]thor's main base. Although [s]thor was able to build some Spore Colonies around his Hive, X`Ds~Grrrr… deftly skirted these defenses and attacked a group of enemy Overlords. As [s]thor burrows his Drones to avoid the attack he recalls his Hydralisks to defend his holdings.

During this time, both commanders have been building up for a large-scale attack. When critical mass is reached, [s]thor sends in a group of Hydralisks against X`Ds~Grrrr…'s Zerglings. X`Ds~Grrrr… calls his Mutalisks back from their assault to join in the battle. The combination of X`Ds~Grrrr…'s Mutalisks and Zerglings are able to out-power [s]thor's Hydralisks and Zerglings. As the tide of Zerg ichor clears, X`Ds~Grrrr…is left with a sizable force that is now directed to attack [s]thor's town and quickly claws his way to victory.

Victor: X'Ds~Grrrr...

Both players, confident in their strategic mastery of all the Species, choose their forces randomly. X`Ds~Grrrr… is again granted the Zerg swarm to control while [s]thor takes command of the mighty Protoss. [s]thor sends out a Probe to scout the planet while X`Ds~Grrrr… sends his massive Overlord to gain an aerial view of the map. As their minions retrieve vital tactical information, [s]thor constructs a Gateway while X`Ds~Grrrr… evolves another Hatchery at an expansion node.

X`Ds~Grrrr… opts for a third Hatchery and begins pumping out Zerglings. He sends a group of the ravenous creatures toward [s]thor's base, but en-route decides to use the Zerglings to kill the Probe that is idling just outside his main base. Alerted to the early strength of his enemy, [s]thor puts Zealots on guard at the top of his ramp to prepare for any incoming attack. He then begins building Photon Cannons to defend the entryway to his main base.

X`Ds~Grrrr… sends a group of Zerglings and Hydralisks to attack [s]thor, but is forced to turn back when he finds the Protoss base heavily defended by Photon Cannons and Zealots. As X`Ds~Grrrr… retreats, he does eliminate a Probe that is attempting to start a base just below the ramp at the nearest expansion site. [s]thor, however, has already expanded to the resource node just above his main base and has built a web of Photon Cannons around it.

X`Ds~Grrrr… climbs the technology tree and hatches Mutalisks while expanding to two other resource locations. After securing these additional resources, he attacks [s]thor with a group of Mutalisks, but is easily repulsed by a band of powerful Archons. Not so easily discouraged, X`Ds~Grrrr… attacks with an even larger force, but is once again turned back by a mix of Archons, Photon Cannons and a pair of well managed Dragoons. X`Ds~Grrrr… finally morphs his Mutalisks into Guardians, and this proves to be the tactic that [s]thor is unprepared to handle. After putting up a brave fight, the Protoss must admit defeat as X`Ds~Grrrr… advances to the next round.

Victor: X'Ds~Grrrr...
