pretty nice game, i made few mistakes and thats cause that i didnt win. i started creating pd too fast, too late mex teching, too fast factory teching, not enough factories at the begining and too much of them later. everything made that i had -50 mass outcome:/ (1 time i had -100 lol) anyway the game was balanced, we had all time similar score.
i still learn how to use mantis spam well against best players who use those damn aeon imba
EDIT: doh im very sad, i had to start playin aeon to get into top 20. with cybran it was impossibility.

The main thing I saw was his air power totally killed your eco and you didn't rebuild it fast enough. those bombers were killing your outlying mex with impunity and you never really got ints out there until it was too late.
just watched it. You are not using mantis to full advantage vs aeon. The aeon t1 has longer range and will kill a mantis head on. 5vs 5 the mantis can run past the aeon t1 and the aeon t1 takes longer to turn. At least 3 times you send mabey 15-20 troops in and then about face and walk straight backwards. Thus gnug got maximum kills and u hardly killed anything and lost all of your troops. Secondly you did the same vs some of the t1 point defense. Run sideways getting closer to pd's of aeon, when the aeon pd kills 1 mantis it will have to turn and start again on the next mantis. Third you sent a lotta mantis in between 2-4 pd's. Try hugging the wall, killing the 2pd's in range, then walk near the next lot of pd's. A lot of the mantis were pounded from all sides as they walked into a meat grinder there. Finally u need to assist at least 1 mantis rush with your commander. March the commie in first to start takeing pd's fire with mantis just behind. By the time your 50-30% health the mantis are on top of the pd's with not much damage. oh, and if gnug bombs your base just click 1 t1 landfac, press ctrl-z, "s" for stop then hit the t1 aa. it will down the t1 ints with ease allowing you to build your interceptors to go get gunships elsewhare.
If you didnt spend as much time sending the mantis in, then retreating straight away you may have more time to watch the radar for incoming air attacks.
anyway the game was balanced, we had all time similar score.
