? not as surprised as everyone about that. Terran army was basically thors with very little tank/hellion mixed in. His thors were shooting zerglings, broodlings, spread mutas, and maybe broods.. Doesn't do damage very fast

DDE woulda probably won had he not relocated in a perfectly surroundable spot.

gg's eg, if idra plays in the rest of the series there shudnt be a problem with winning the whole thing.

Don't really know why idra was saying that shit at the end though, he had 3 way surround with broodlords lings and mutas vs thors tanks and mauraders. No marines for anti air >.<!

DDE was on 3-3 on his thors.

It was the fact that he saw so many thors with not a massive army himself that we was like wtf... lucky surround rom him, as someone said before, he was prolly gonna quit after that attack.

He won because Broodlords do a shit ton of damage, zerglings and broodlings distracted Thor fire, tanks splashed his own Thors, and Muta count was high enough that Thors couldn't just go attack the Broods.

Essentially it appears that IdrA did everything right.

Tanks weren't sieged.
Mutas were magic boxed
Lings got surround
Broodlords were in perfect position to engage.

Quite simply what happened was the broodlings soaked all the tank fire and consequently dde's own tanks killed his thors and other tanks. Then the mutas were never bunched at all so when idra held position with those mutas the thors did zero damage.

Thors doing zero damage
Marauders shooting broodlings
Tanks shooting well...his own army.

Don't listen to the gosugamers casters, dde doesn't win that 9 times out of 10, it is completely relient on the move in by the ling/muta relative to the first volley of broodlings coming in.

he had no blue flame hellions so kill broodlings/lings

if he had like 10 hellions it would have looked sooooooooooooooo much different

Do listen to what we said afterwards, had their been hellions nearby to deal with those lings things would have come out differently.

I feel it was more due to the Thor's misfire as well as DDE's positioning. If the tanks were sieged, the Thors would have died far quicker. I think that had he either made marines or over-made SCV's - which to his credit, he did - to repair the mech, Idra would have lost, regardless of positioning. Saying that; DDE wasn't expecting the Brood Lords, so his army composition was inadequate for dealing with it (although I feel that the GG timing was a little unnecessary, as he had time to get a couple of cycles from his Factory's, whilst Idra didn't have the minerals and drones to back up his existing army.).
Excellent game anyway as well as an excellent series. Thanks for the great casting!
