He made tons of mistakes that NonY pretty much covered, he could've fended off the muta harass with just 2 archons (he made 3), and he picked fights in very bad situations (he won the first skirmish, but only with army trading - that sucks vs a hydra heavy zerg, because at that moment his macro > yours, that's what led to his defeat). He shoulda just turtled a bit more, 2-3 less goons (zlots instead) AND temp energy upgrade. If you watch the game carefully, it's 99% sure he had no temp energy upgrade, and his fresh temps could join the fight later because of that. Those mistakes were punished by July's excellent control and macro. But it was a very, very nice and tense game overall. Recommended.

why would you get temp energy? he was using all the energy he had immediately. no time for saving.
