He spent all his gas on ultras and was sitting sub 200 gas right after I posted it

This was a surprising series in many ways. Definitely will make me reconsider the way I feel about those infestors ultras styles, with adequate micro and vipers it seemed amazingly able to take fights even against an army designed to slaughter it. I would have liked to see pucK have some more storms and to take other walled bases before engaging (if you wall them correctly the ultra player can't really do anything until he has brood lords), then try to kill the remaxes as they hatch.

i dont see how he could have attacked any sooner to "kill the remax as it hatched", he went immediately after the fight and ran headlong into the remax which is what lost him his whole army + 3 colossus
as much as the immortals are important if you dont have colossus then ling/infestor suddenly wrecks protoss

His army composition wasn't perfect. When you face ultra styles you aim for literally mass archons + immortals + templars for feedbacks and storms because it will literally kill any remax. He had a bit too many chargelots for my taste, he could have sacrificed some for harass while building up a gas heavy army behind his walls. And no armor upgrades definitely hurt. It was complicated anyway, don't get me wrong, infestor ling kinda make you need colossi but then vipers counter them so it becomes a micro war. Tricky style, good for Zergs who can micro 3-4 army groups without any problem I guess.

yea you may be right but i honestly think the bigger problem for puck was how he positioned/took engagements and his decision making in when to counterattack. i dont think a top level protoss would have lost if you gave them control of what puck had

It's really refreshing (who would have thought back in 2012 someone would ever say that !) to see some infestor styles.
