Technique spammed bikes too long. He could have auto-won if he spammed scorps out of 1 wf while building 2nd MCV on 2nd factory after first wave of bikes hit. Going 2 wf scorps would also have worked as well if he wanted to take a slightly safer approach.
But yeah, regardless going orcas was nice and moving your pred army about. I disagree with Technique's assessment about harvesters - I would say that it actually makes it LESS noob friendly because it isn't a case of "sneak stuff around the map and hope to get lucky" like it is in KW. So many games in KW come down to "oh didn't scout that - I'm dead", which I would say is more boring.

It makes it a build order game... which is the easiest part of rts. Just look how many unanswered attack units he had in his base early on... and still was fine.
What you doing anyway giving me tips on this silly game... didn't you quit.

Sorry for you nubcake but if u check replays of kaiser23 you will see that i play with him in team, so it's not 4 - 1 for you but 2 - 1 for today and yesterday u lost 1 - 2 on tower, anyway, i think it was a good game, sorry if u are mad with yr big ego nubcake.
It is only a "build order game" if one guy makes a dumb move. Builds come down to the decisions you make. If both players play smart then it comes down to micro, map awareness, positioning and army movement/trades/transitions.
Your decision to keep spamming bikes was as bad as him leaving his base undefended - he was building pits while you were sacrificing bikes to try and get more harv kills. This allowed him to get a pit lead on you. Instead of going for the cost-efficient counter you decided to go more bikes, allowing him to recover his eco losses and go crane because you were teching and had no map control. If you had gone scorps, the amount of damage you did at the start would have won you the game, and deservedly so, because he had nothing to defend.
But yeah, I have quit, but I am still playing in the tournament tomorrow so I wanted to watch a couple of replays beforehand.
