[s]thor decided to try his luck with the Zerg, while @~Thuggy~ took a risk with random, and ended up with Zerg as well. Both commanders send out their Overlords to scout the map and find each other in short order. Both players then evolve a Spawning Pool at about the same time and began hatching Zerglings.
@~Thuggy~ sends a wave of Zerglings out to [s]thor's base and is met by a swarm of enemy Zerglings. As @~Thuggy~ sends his units into a full retreat, and [s]thor carefully follows. @~Thuggy~ returns safely home, and [s]thor keeps his Zerglings stationed just outside of @~Thuggy~'s base. After a few minutes of frenzied hatching, the intruders are dispatched by @~Thuggy~ with another Zergling wave.
At this point, both players begin spawning hordes of Zerglings, sending them to the center of the map -- each waiting for the other to make the first move. As the escalation of forces continues, [s]thor builds a Spire and @~Thuggy~ decides to upgrade his Zerglings.
[s]thor then sends a lone Zergling out to check on @~Thuggy~'s forces. The scout is quickly swarmed and killed. This small incursion is the spark that ignites the fires of battle as @~Thuggy~ attacks. The two Zergling swarms collide in the center in a violent shower of blood and Zergling bits. The upgrades that @~Thuggy~ has evolved prove to be the deciding factor as [s]thor's Zerglings are easily slaughtered by their superior kin. @~Thuggy~ decides to push into [s]thor's base with his remaining Zerglings.
As @~Thuggy~'s Zerglings begin to tear into [s]thor's buildings, three Mutalisks break free from their eggs. Unable to defend themselves from this aerial assault, @~Thuggy~'s Zerglings are quickly killed.
Hoping that @~Thuggy~'s base is now defenseless, [s]thor sends his Mutalisks in for the kill. @~Thuggy~ is not without defenses, however, and the invading Mutalisks are met by a viscous barrage from the waiting Spores Colonies. [s]Thor is forced to withdraw.
[s]thor builds more Mutalisks while @~Thuggy~ has switched gears and is now amassing Hydralisks. After a few more Mutalisks were created, [s]thor decided to attack again. @~Thuggy~'s Hydralisks managed to fend off the attack, but his Hydralisk Den is lost in the process. @~Thuggy~ retaliates by sending a swarm of Zerglings to [s]thor's base which forces [s]thor to bring his remaining Mutalisks back to defend. This gives @~Thuggy~ time to build another Hydralisk Den and more Spore Colonies. He manages to replenish his Hydralisk force before [s]thor sends in a third wave of Mutalisks.
Both sides have suffered heavy casualties from this final attack. @~Thuggy~ may have been able to defended his base once again, but at the critical point [s]thor sends his reserves of Zerglings in to join the melee. This final push proves to be too much for @~Thuggy~ to counter as [s]thor claims victory in the first game.
Victor: [s]thor
