i think idra could have held on if he didnt try to retreat those hydras. would have been better to just let them die while they are doing damage. would have weakened that stalker ball more so and allow him to rebuild.

Yeah guess what, he had more stalkers?


Because idra had zerglings...... which are supposed to be good against stalkers.

They had equal gas in their armies.

<3 KiWi

Makes me think of that old thread "Which unit represents what progamer" or something along those lines.

KiWi = Mass blink stalkers. Too bad he couldn't get the mothership out too. His secondary unit for sure.

Oh wow amazing play by Kiwikaki. He got his fourth up before Idra which was enormously impressive, and his blink stalker micro was incredible.

would it be different if idra held 4-5 hydralisk production and made infestors instead. and use it on blink stalkers with hydras, may be a defensive stance?

Hydras are so terribly slow off creep, they get punished for being offensive. Must stay on creep aka be defensive or they will all die if you decide to pull back.

Did anyone see that sexy ass ff that kept him in the game, when IdrA was pushing into the natural with a huge army, then half of it got caught behind 3 forcefields and Kiwi picked off the units as they filed into him one by one? The AI of forcefielded units is hilarious though, I love how they just have a little rave party behind them.

I don't think Idra lost because of Hydras, he attacked too soon and too far. He wasnt expecting such a big army. The fake colossi was a nice idea bu it didnt work, he didnt lose much trying it.

idra always looks strong in the beginning. but when the toss gets the deathball going he just crumbles it seems.

Honest question: what Zergs don't crumble to that? I mean, I haven't seen a single Zerg handle that in a reasonable manner, even when they're up on bases.

Infestors were being made, but his main army died before they got out

I liked the fact that KiWiKaKi hallucinated a bunch of colossi early on so that IdrA would overcommit to making corruptors. Pretty clever, especially when we saw about 15 completely useless corruptors ^^

Yeah but the point is IdrA realized he had a few less hydras, but he still had to fight it out. Earlier when Kiwi was outnumbered, he just ran away. Hydras are bad because they can't really escape from anything.


That was the big difference in the game. Idra was short on a couple of hydras and maybe more zerglings. While how many pushes in that game did Kiwi just turned around and walk away?

He never overmade corrupters in that entire game

Protoss freely expanding, hmmmmm. Kiwikaki's ball was pretty much in front of his natural every single time, and there was never any extended pressure on any of Kiwi's expansions. IIIRC he was even ahead in Probes for a large portion of the game.
