He tried to get his units to the top right base when he saw nani's units coming, but was not fast enough.

I didn't realize that SC2 declared a better player by a race to 200/200. You know you actually have to eliminate the other persons army right? Naniwa clearly took a slow and steady approach and poked and prodded when he needed to and beat Idra.
There is no doubt Idra is a good player but he either needs to quit the game or stop bitching and moaning and play the game you're given. Every win of his is "SUPERIOR PLAY" while all of his losses are "IMBA IMBA IMBA I HATE THIS GAME" Get's so old...

At first glance, I sympathized with idra, but yeah... a 200/200 zerg army isn't anything next to a 200/200 protoss army. If you ever look at the army tab, protoss will almost always have twice the minerals of gas into their army. Idra's style would work if he were a protoss, but he most certainly didn't utilize newer strategies to deal with the collosus immobility.

Do you always look at things this black and white? There is an in-between...

He also didn't take the gases at the two bottom bases he took from what I saw causing him to not be able to crank out enough Hydra or change his Corruptors into Broodlords.
He also made WAY too many Corruptors for how many Collossi there were IMO.
Those are just my criticisms as an amateur as to why he lost so.
idra smashed those colossi thats why naniwa had to transition to immo's to survive until he could get storm

i dont want to argue with anyone about whats wrong and right etc, but Ofcourse its easier to max out on roaches when i invest in only gas heavy units... -_-
probably stupid of me to even post this.. but whatever .

if i didnt have knowledge about something i surely wouldnt make a bullshit post just for the sake of posting something, the reason why this site has become so disgusting is because u have to filter throught 50 retarded posts just to find 1 that makes any sense

Hrrrrrrm, what is more old, is that no zergs are winning without all-ining every game. It's either banelings, base trade, or drops (which is base trade anyway).
The sad part is people are ACCEPTING this. They say it's the new "metagame". It's not how this game was designed to be played...

Is there a link to the VODs? I don't see it anywhere in the OP.

I'm pretty sure IdrA saw naniwa coming into the 1 o'clock main through the rocks, he definitely saw the expansion and certainly expected him to attack through that path. I don't think he had (enough or any) corruptors to defend at the 1 oclock main.. The 9-range of the collossi with nothing for IdrA to take them down would have pretty much lost him the game right there.

losing that 1oclock cost him the game and it was something he could have easily avoided with better scouting
It was definately a huge hit but I don't know if that's what cost him the game. Nani's last push with Stalker/Immortal would have been stopped if IdrA's Hydra count was higher. While you can factor in the loss of the 1 o'clock base, I saw someone mention that the exposed expansions on the bottom weren't mining gas at all.
Naniwa wasn't producing any Colossus at that point so it should have at least bought IdrA time that Nani didn't have.

congratulations naniwa You did play amazingly well how you managed to survive there with nothing but stalkers and 3-4 immos at a time is inspirational.
EDIT: Oh yeah thats why naniwa won it was his birthday :p

Agreed if Idra was up that much and Naniwa managed to somehow pull out on top, Naniwa definitely was doing something right.

He really played much better than Naniwa, maybe he could try a different approach, but playing zerg is really unrewarding in these type of maps, especially against protoss. 60 food ahead at one point, protoss just sits on one base and a-moves. i don't know why people say hydras are good vs protoss, they lose to stalker balls really bad. Hydras -do- beat the crap out of stalkers, but not three groups of 15 hydras at a time against one group of 35 stalkers. All you achieve then is hurting their shields and not actually doing any lasting damage. Zerg always seems to need a number above that critical mass to deal with the army presented to them, or lose hard without having actually done much damage. As evidence to support this, look at banelings VS marines, or mutalisks zerglings or hydras vs anything. If you've got three less banelings, it changes from you eradicating his entire squad of marines to you killing six marines and getting rolled by the remainder. This is a myth honestly. Stalkers vs Hydras is very even in terms of cost and supply. People for some reason think that Hydras roflown gateway units when they honestly don't. They need to be on creep to face zealots as well. What owns gateway units, is Hydra DPS, protected by ling/roach tanking.
They're the go-to Zerg response to mass gateway. Sure, you can't make just Hydras, but that's true of any "Counter". Colossus beat the shit out of most zerg ground, but they too need things in front that make them much harder to kill.
My point was that IdrA didn't struggle there because Hydras aren't to gateway balls as colossus are to Zerg ground, but because his engagements with them were poorly orchestrated and inefficiently used. Whether or not he had any other options is a whole different story, but the dude I quoted saying "WELL HYDRAS DONT COUNTER GATEWAYS GG" seemed about as fair a statement as Colossus not countering Zerg ground if you attempt to use them alone, scattered from each other, and at melee range.

u cant have a high hydra count when u have 15 idol corruptors sitting around because u dont have the eco to brood tech, after z whipes out the collo count p is obv gonna switch to ground and idra didnt have enought eco to defend the switch
