Fail costs MMA game but Idra fails harder

submitted by Jinx
1 decade 3 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

Game one of a important best of three between Slayers' MMA and EG's Idra in the winners bracket of MLG columbus.

When attempting to kill the rocks blocking the Gold 3rd expansion on Iccup Testbug MMA makes a drastic error and accidentally targets his own command centre with his Siege Tanks. 3 quick volleys later and MMA has destroyed his chances of winning a long game and he realises he must close the game out with his next attack in order to win. As MMA prepares to drop and harass Idra's expansions, Idra makes his move with Banelings and Mutas. Siege tanks quickly mop up the Banelings before they do any damage, but it doesn't look like it'll matter; Idra's Muta count is simply too high. As Idra clears up the last of the marines guarding the tanks MMA's drop at Idras expo has only managed to mop up a queen and a few drones and will surely be cleared out soon enough along with MMAs hopes of taking this game...when Idra abruptly calls GG and disconnects from the game.

The crowd can't believe it, Day and Wheat can't believe it, MMA can't believe it. Idra had him by the jugular but assumes himself not only to not be at a massive advantage, but to be behind enough to concede the game. A game that will surely go down in the history of SC2 and e-sports, two enormous fails, one amazing match.
