The first game was commenced on the map "The Lost Temple." I will refrain from making the obvious comment about how overplayed this map is.  I join the game Mcnasty made to find everyone ready, and the countdown begins.  Both players choose their race as [STiM]Pylon decides to go with zerg as Mantra! goes with protoss.  The starting builds are pretty common for a ZvP matchup, with Pylon going 9 drone and 9 overlord followed up by the extractor trick, which gets him 10 drones while the overlord is building.  At 12 drones he starts and expand at his natural.  Mantra! doesn't do anything risky, building a pylon on 8 and a gateway on 10 followed by another pylon and gateway.  

     Mantra! had sent a probe out scouting counter-clockwise, so it came upon Pylon's base before any of Pylon's overlords had found Mantra!'s base.  This little probe saw that the zerg had expanded and a pool was being built, while about 13 drones were mining.  As the probe is looking inside the base, Pylon builds another hatch at his expansion.  At about the same time Mantra! starts up on gas at    home.  Soon 4 lings are hatched as they clear the probe out and go guard the front of the expansion.  Pylon then builds a creep colony behind his first 2 hatcheries.  This is always a good place as if he were rushed I imagine he would bring some drones and lings to surround the sunken effectivley blocking it off and creating havoc in the zealots pathing. 

Pylon only produced 4 lings, and that is it.  While Mantra! builds up on zealots as he gets a cybernetics core.  Pylon adds another hatchery in his main and then puts another hatchery between his natural and mineral only natural, he also starts mining gas from his main.  When he gets 7 zealots Mantra! decided it was time to attack and takes his zealots and a probes and heads out.  Right when Mantra! leaves Pylon only has 4 lings and 2 creep colonies, but he also has an overlord over the zealots before they leave. 

Pylon immediatley morphs his two existing creep colonies into sunkens and starts two more creep colonies.  He only built two more lings bringing his total to 6.  At this point Pylon was more concerned about using every available larvae for building drones instead of using them for lings.  Just as Mantra!'s force arrives a 3rd sunken is done with the 4th close behind.  Mantra! charges in as Pylon pulls a handful of drones off mining duty to help thwart the protoss invaders.  In a good move Pylon uses 2 of his lings distract 2 of Mantra!'s zealots in the back, allowing Pylon to only take on 5 zealots at a time instead of 7.  After one of the zealots is killed, his brethren retreat back to home.  Right before he attacked Mantra! started up a Citadel of Adun at home, his choice of tech this game: templar.  He also used his newly made goons to snag a gigantic magically flying space slug, also known as an overlord.  The first lull in the action came about the game as both players built up their forces for the clashes that were sure to come.  Pylon built a hydra den and an evolution chamber at home, will expanding to 12's "hidden mineraly only" while upgrading to a liar at home.  Another quirky thing he did was mine his mineral only with that hatchery that was in between his natural and mineral only natural.  He had quite a good amount of drones on this.  At first I thought to myself "what the hell is he doing" when I began to think about it.  Only so many drones can mine at a given time, he made so many drones that he just went ahead and sent that to work at his mineral only rather than just sitting and  waiting to collect minerals from his main or his natural (I think).  Mantra! had gotten temps and storm and expanded to his natural about 1 minute after Pylon took 12's mineral only. 

    Pylon decided it was time to turn on the macro as he saves up larvae from his 5 hatheries and builds hydra/ling.  He was able to build a constant flow of units due to his huge economy.  He put his first group of hydras and lings outside of Mantra!'s base while taking the 12 o'clock main.  Mantra! only sees about one control group of zerg units outside his base so he takes his 4 zealots, 6 dragoons, and 2 temps and pushes his way through to the middle of the map as Pylon retreats his forces to 12's mineral only.  Pylon has been building up his forces this whole time and sends about 12 hydras down to the 6 o'clock mineral only.  As soon as they get there he brings another 15 or so hydras from his main and then commences an attack on the middle, bringing down his original hydras from 12 and bringing up his hydras from 6. 

     This 3-sided attack would of hurt Mantra! severley had he not pulled his troops back at the very last second.  Pylon, seeing that the advantage is his, tries to push into Mantra!'s base.  A good amount of storm stopped the hydra push, but it also boxed Mantra! back into his base.  During the battle he had tried to expand to the 12 o'clock natural but hydras stopped the attempt. 

Pylon uses his recent victory and expands to the 6 o'clock mineral only and to the 12 o'clock natural while adding 3 more hatcheries at 12.  Mantra! quicky builds up a force of 13 dragoons and 4 templar from his 5 gateways and decided he has to stop Pylon quick before he totally engulfs the map and him.  He pushes out and up, heading towards 12 o'clock.  Mantra! does alright in the beggining, getting off some good storms, but is quickly run over by the hordes of zerg units.  He tries to retreat but only to find that his main and natural are getting attacked by more hydras.  Seeing that he is vastly outresourced and outnumbered Mantra! concedes game one.
