Yes good point. It was just one immortal as well right? That immortal fell really quickly. Poor mana after doing almost everything right but still couldn't handle the 111 power.

Except he would have still lost because that's not what lost him the game.

The second round of dropping did more damage than it should have. Mana did not delay enough with stalkers at the middle of the map. 2 siege tanks are easily breakable, 5 are not. Colossus range was nice but waiting for it while letting 5 tanks siege up on an optimal position, with bunkers and spread out marines... you need a whole army to go through that.

all those probes lost or not mining are easily 2 more gateways + zealots to tank, I disagree

then you instantly lose it to the tanks which have greater range. also, banshees.
plenty of marines were in range of colossus without being in range of thanks. Pick off some marines, force them to pull back, lead with zealots and the immortal can do more damage. Instead he just said "3 COLOSSUS ME A MOVE NAO!"

Couldn't afford them and stalkers are actually quite bad against that composition.

I think he just overbuild colossi. The banshees/tanks alone could clean him up.

You still need them for the banshees. asd killed quite a few units for free with banshee pokes. That plus the supply block made Mana's army a bit smaller than it should have.
