Had he gone broodlords he probably would have won considering MKP wouldn't have had the resources to build a lot of vikings which would have been fungaled anyway.
No, he would've 100% died while trying to transition, there was no time to build a spire then upgrade it, he would be dead as soon as he made the first corruptors.

Khaldor sure has. He even talked in a reddit thread yesterday about it. And Khaldor is a master level zerg, so he sure knows what hes talking about.
I have huge respect for Khaldor, but to say that he knows what hes talking about because he is master level? Yes he doesnt make huge mistakes but he is far from a "pro analysis".
I don't think it is fair at all to say that B4 threw the game or that MKP made huge mistakes. That game was incredibly taxing; it was taxing to watch and hard to call exactly what was the right decision for the observer sitting there with perfect information. For the players it must have been pure hell.
Super awesome game. #1 english speaker on Prime taking out the #2 english speaker on Prime. Even the finish time was perfect, a minute before my pizza in the oven was finished.

MKP damn he was playing great late game!
Yeah that and too few ling run-bys, MKP had his bases unprotected and whenever there were a few lings in the mineral line he moved back his entire army - 10 lings in the bottom right during a main fight could have done a lot.
Credits should also be given to MKP, he moved his army near perfect in order to stop runbys

BBBB never killing medivacs and never having anything to transition into lost him the game in the end. Still might have won it if he hadn't lost so many units on rallies.
Unfortunate for him, think he played better for the most part though they both played a Code S calibre game.
Indeed.. the medivacs staying alive was THE most important factor because after each engagement there was the situation where a hand full of bio was pitted vs 1-2 ultras with no fungals.. that's where MKP drew even..
No there was a major engagement where BB just A moved his army without the infestors with fungals. He lost all all his Ultras in that attack and had to use all his infestor energy to save them.
True.. it was the engagement directly after the one where he just ran MKP over.. which is why I was extremely surpised that MKP took this fight and indeed won it.. But most other skirmishes ended pretty even.. with medivacs being heroes..

Yet he had the time to build an ultralisk cavern and research chitinous plating?

He would have been fine. There were multiple engagements where he crushed the ground army and then 10 medivacs floated off. 2 Ultras less would still have mopped all that up, with 6 corruptors to mop up a medivac or two and then morph into broods.
