It's amazing to see how much room for improvement there is in SC2, Idra was macroing/microing circles around Kiwi with the drops and the drops themselves were generally un-microed.

That game was over when KiWi lost his Colossi outside IdrA's natural. He didn't have a proxy pylon to reinforce so he needed to back off before IdrA's eggs hatched, but instead he stayed and lost all his shit in a non-cost effective way. You can't park yourself outside someone's nat if you don't have warpins ready.

gratz to idra, gotta give it to him. Barring those first two games, he played well, and I felt like kiwi was just playing into idra's hands when he got two up.

No different to Colossus, Carriers, Battlecruisiers, Thors (in small numbers past midgame) or Templar. IF you don't have anything to back them up they die just as fast

Only if they had beta Twilight Carriers with anti-STA shields...

Pulling off drops like that and keeping up his almost perfect macro is godlike.

What? That's it?

Nice graphics, but it would be better to have a closing speech or something.

Wow, it seems a very good decision to leave Korea by Idra now all of a sudden. He was not earning much at all there, here, he already has decent amount in his pocket. Well done, very good games.

Yay Grack!

I totally called this playstyle developing a few months ago:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=203336

His drops did nothing. Getting 5 bases and keeping kiwi off a 4th won him the game.

After the drops failed, kiwi a-moved his army into idras creep and lost all his stalkers/colossus to roach hydra, and was in a basically un-winnable position from there. After losing so many units he could not defend all his bases, but that was his fault for attacking too early and not idra baiting it.
