Ok guys lets analyze this carefully.

Idra probably knew MMA has a 3rd by the time his mutas were roaming. Then, MMA pushes, obliterates all the ground of Idra, while his mutas are still alive against what idra thinks a 3 base terran going into 4th at the gold while his natural was not functional and his gold was going to die soon IF those tanks live, which he probably assumed would be the case considering MMA has turrets and marine reinforcements.

Thus, Idra GGed because:

1. He though the terran was getting his 4th at the gold, closer to the zerg, while he was on 4 base and was about to lose his 4th due to his ground dieing and his mutas not being able to clean up the tanks fast enough.
2. He also was probably annoyed at the drop and was disappointed at himself for not dealing with it better.

Considering Idra probably knows 4 base zerg vs 4 base terran is a lose especially since the 4th is inching closer and that he lost the engagement (in his own skewed perspective), then it does make sense that he would gg.

Idra is just making another point about zergbalance. He can't win with them even if the opponent destroys his own cc and loses his army.

Many viewers make the mistake that players can see everything we do.
IDRA DOES NOT HAVE OBS VIEW
- He does not know MMA killed his own OC
- He did not actively scout for a 3rd
- He realised that MMA army was > than 2 base economy
- He assumed incorrectly that MMA push was not a desperate all-in from that OC cancel, but a calculated decision.
- Idra assumed incorrectly that MMA was on a 4th base AND has enough scvs to transfer over
- Based on this and MMA's very successful drop, Idra has 0% chance f a comeback assuming his assumptions are correct.
