IdrA falls ever just a bit short of victory, le sigh.

2000 minerals and 600 gas when he left at the end + greater spire completed. Think of what a 2000 minerals and 600 gas remax was going to do to Inca's 120 army after the initial engagement, followed by 8 brood lords, and you have the difference between IdrA and Stephano.

hard to pick what he did wrong...bad macro + no larvae. I mean 2.5k banked with 600 gas he easily should have had a extra queen + hatch or just be injecting better.

also no way would 5 BLs be able to deal with that many blink stalkers. Also upgrades probably in effect there it was 1 carapace + 1 melee upgrade vs +3 weps protoss.

if idra remax'd with his money bank just on roachs/lings it probably would have been fine maybe, but oh well.

It would have been a pretty resounding stomp...

Still, liking this play from Idra a lot more than what we saw perhaps half a year ago. Just need to make small adjustments rather than looking lost as all hell.

Furthermore, I am wondering whether that four Zealot drop ended up doing any damage in his main. They were kind of fighting Spines in the one shot we got of them, but they could definitely have done damage had they been micro'ed without any real opposition.

What was Idra's bank looking like before that attack started? I think if those corruptors were BLs for that fight, it would have been a stomp. And he definitely had the time to get them out (maybe he would have to stall a few seconds at most), but I didn't catch what his bank was looking like. All I saw was him randomly maxed after seemingly keeping open supply for BLs, which is definitely a big mistake if he had the money for the BLs.

Looks like they'll be casting Caliber vs Sleep after Tod/Scarlett, unless they're playing the longest series of all time.

Edit: I reverted that edit on Liquipedia that spoiled the games that were going to be cast
