it was mma destroying his own cc


Followed by Idra taking the worst engagement possible but still crushing MMA because he is so far ahead in army value. Unfortunately Idra completely misjudges the situation as he for some reason thinks he is losing the battle while also forgetting he pulled his drones off mining for a little due to MMA's harass.

Thinking he had lost the drones, losing the battle and not realizing MMA had killed his own base he GG's a game that MMA would GG out of if Idra had stayed a few seconds longer.

Everyone in the audience celebrates as their beloved American player wins... and then it hits them; Idra left another won game. Neither the audience nor the commentators had any clue what was going on.

What a time to be alive.

Idra thought that MMA taking this forward base means MMA is miles ahead as he's taking his 4th or 5th base(remember, back then this was huge). So when he has done what he has done he thought - well, RIP, I am behind economically and now I fucked up the engagement, so cya. In reality it was a desperate gold with the self kill CC. That just shows how hard it is to properly judge the game when you don't see everything.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

MKP (aka Boxer aka Faker Boxer aka Foxer) vs Kyrix series in GSL. The series that earned him the name MarineKing. The series that showed that marines countered their counter (baneling) by micro.

The base by itself wouldn't really matter since Idra was about to snowball the fight out of control anyway. Thus Idra must have completely misjudged how that fight went.

If you notice his mutalisks were split into 2 groups during the fight and it's plausible that he only looked at one group and thought he didn't have more alive (As a side point: The mutalisks should never have been separated - Idra's battle micro was horrible).

Combined with him thinking he lost most of his drones to the drop, Idra thought he was dead and left. So it most likely was a combination of 3 different wrong assessments (2 of which were the fault of Idra) that caused him to leave.

I think I read it in some interview with him, so I stand behind my reasoning xD Obviously I don't have the interview so feel free to believe w/e you want, but I'm not gonna change my opinion :D

Why are you spoiling the outcome of all these matches? I would have rewatched some.

these matches are from a long time ago, it's not spoilers anymore smh.
It's literally in the title, MOST ICONIC GAMES which means the people who converse and contribute to this thread have already watched most of these games.
Or they simply don't care enough to watch them (like me, who was not yet a fan at that point) because they're from 8 years ago.
if you're not one of these two groups of people then why are you even here?

Sure I watched the same thing - but the point is that Idra very much misinterpreted the state of that game (beyond just the CC killing) - and assuming he didn't watch the replay or VOD back, he never realized he was winning the battle.

I guess Idra was just told after the game "MMA actually killed his own CC, you were about to win". And then Idra was like "ah okay but there was no way I could have known that and I was easily losing if not for that". But if you actually watch the game you would see that he was clearly in the lead regardless.

I suggest you rewatch the game and you should be able to identify that.

I'm going full bias on this one, qxc reverse all killing in GSTL was so hype. Naniwa vs Thorzain in TSL3 finals was amazingly hype too.
