I'll keep it in one post.

Idra gets a fast spire and ling speed with ground upgrades.

Strelok gets a fast third CC, expands, gets thor tech. He perfectly times out missile turrets and places them in his three bases just before Mutas hit.

IdrA times a big ling/bane/muta hit just as +1 air attacks kick in, magic boxes the thor, overruns the ground forces, and strelok's lowered depot lets lings and banes into the main. Idra rallies forces into the main as his existing lings clear out the third base. Strelok GG's out.

Any GM ppl saw that game can analyze? IdrA saw the early third by strelok and made ling banes instead of just drones during muta production and went for a quick swipe... Responded to the metagaming of strelok on the fast thor.

its simple. he didn't make tanks, he spent too much on turrets, second expo and tech (double ebay, thor, etc.). he overran him with lings, bling and a few mutas because he just didnt have enough units (especially tanks, which he skimped on). doesnt take gm analysis.

G2 - Shattered Temple, cross positions.

IdrA opens 15 hatch, 14 pool. Strelok goes 1 rax, 1 fact again. Barely feigns a marine/bunker push. Then he throws in three marines and an scv for a larger push.

Idra starts a spine, keeping the push away with queens and drones without a direct engagement. A hellion arrives as lings pop out, and it is almost surrounded. Spine crawler finishes.

A few hellions shark outside idra's natural, idra starts lair. Strelok gets an early thor on 1 fact. Idra starts baneling nest as lair finishes. Spire ans +1 attack start for Idra.

Strelok's expo is up and running, and a second thor is being built. Idra gets bling speed and extra hatches.

Mutas are now on the way.

5 Thors are now up.7 hellions as well, and a bunch of scvs on repair. Uh oh.

Idra's mutas blings and lings are sitting back until they get another reinforcement wave.

They engage, the blings make their way around all the thors to the hellions and scvs, mutas all die after leaving only a few thors and a couple hellions.

Idra rallies lings, lings, and more lings.

He finally overwhelms the army and pushes back. Strelok reloads a similar attack with more hellions. He kills tons of lings, but more magic-boxing helps kill it off. Idra sends mutas to streloks base, kills off a thor. Strelok sends all of his remaining army, with a bunch of scvs. It kills off Idra's army after a few good baneling hits, but reinforcements take it back.

Yet one more thor/hellion push, but idra magic boxes and surrounds with lings, GG.
