I think I am going to have to insist that the part where running four bandits out into the path of the revenant rush seriously blunted it is 'valid' and relevant, regardless of what misplays occurred later.
In fact I would say after rewatching the replay that south team had a commanding lead in expansion and map control even before the Revenants were lost, at least partially
on account of the Revenant rush having failed to inflict enough damage, and that the Revenants did not have a lot of scope to change that fact by raiding. So I don't think I agree with the premise at all.
