After actually watching the games, this is what I think happened in game 3:
- IdrA's trying to get ahead early (...like he always does) judging by the fact that he took the 3rd instead of his natural
- CrunCher fakes a 4 gate
- IdrA leaves some larvae idle in order to make units to defend this
- IdrA scouts a 6 gate and (The following is just me assuming I know what IdrA was thinking):
- Drones hard, makes just enough Roaches to defend the 6 gate
- Bad timing and FF circle, IdrA loses
Think about it. IdrA is famous for his macro, he took the more mineral-rich 3rd expansion in order to gain an economic advantage, and he had like 10 roaches hatching by the time CrunCher got to his expansion, and he saw the 6 gate. Had those 10 roaches come out earlier or had the ones that were already out been spread out more, IdrA would've held the push, been way ahead, and won in another 5 minutes. His timing was off. I don't think IdrA is dumb enough to go "OMG A PUSH...MUST MAKE DRONES".
