The only think I could see make a difference there would be to wait for the corruptors before engaging...and making infestors. Maybe done a couple more drops, as the one he did was really effective

This is what I took from that game:
1. IdrA didn't take a fast enough 4th, there wasn't anyway Elfi could have punished it as his whole army was just phoenix and IdrA was floating 1.3k minerals.
2. Overlords die way too fast.
3. Colossus are still retarded.
4. Hydras are still bad.
5. Protoss still just sits in one spot with their stuff, and then they attack and win because they are so efficient.

what was that game? what the fuck, Idra's game sense INCREDIBLE, HIS READ WAS INCREDIBLE HIS MULTITASKING INCREDIBLE, in every single way he outplayed Elfi, why couldnt he go hive? he HAD to make hydras to kill those pheonixes, the SINGLE MISTAKE was making a bit too many hydras.he couldnt transition with so much gas being put to survival, he was a base up, he dropped,and usually i dont call protoss a- move race because i like to think they require some micro.. but there were no FF or blinks or anything, the DEFINITION of A move attack. idra should have won that game... what else could he have done with the opening he chose?

Well with all of those Phoenix, he can't really use Infestors. And he doesn't really have the gas for Hydralisks and Infestors. He'd need to hit a perfect transition timing which requires really good scouting. He did scout the Colossus pretty late.

Hydras wreck gateway units though, if you buff them hydra busts will be nigh-on impossible to stop as Toss

buffing hydra speed off creep wouldn't change hydra busts in anyway. If you're going to hydra bust a Protoss, you already have overlord highway leading to P's base.

It is sad that the only way zerg can win is by taking over P units, and now we can't even do that

Don't buff them right off the bat, give them a research-able upgrade that lets them move faster then 1pixel per minute.

Or Blizzard could be creative and let Hydras morph into something cool. "Oh I've cleaned up the air, now I can transition my hydras into a useful late-game unit."
