True should have lowered the Void numbers and not take out the base. I make the same mistake too often as well, trading your army for a base against this composition is generally a bad idea because that Toss army can only get scarier and scarier.

People just love to complain about Void Rays instead of acknowledging mistakes on the Zerg side.

Having over half your army targeting the nexus while VR's are killing your hydra's is one way. True never really micro'd his hydra's. If he had, he would have handedly won that first fight and went on to win the game.
True that.Outcome of the fight - All Hydras are dead, all Sentries and Zealots are dead, the Nexus is dead, but the VR are alive, he lost maybe 1/4 of them. He kept the numbers high enough to crush the second attack with more Zealots to suck dmg and rolled True over. Also with double Stargate, transition into 12-15 Mutalisk will do nothing and did nothing

Hydralisks are not a good unit in the grand scheme of things. Very specific timings where they work well, this aint broodwar .
his timing was really good though it was something like 28 hydras vs 7 or 8 void rays
he would have to have all of his hydras clumped up right next to the voids in the open for it to work as simply as those numbers would indicate. He was attacking a third with some FFs/structures impeding him, giving the voids some things to micro around. He would have had to commit completely to killing them and he shit the bed trying to kill the nexus while killing the voids.
The Hydra timing was really good actually, he had like at least triple the amount of Hydras compared to Void Rays, and a strong supply lead, but his micro was really bad, First actually microed his void rays against the hydras and traded well despite losing the Nexus.
