I thought the conclusion we reached was that if you approach the matchup the way you did (kamikaze Braxas), it's very close to a coinflip (~49% chance to gas Kurrok in three tries, and that tends to be decisive in the matchup).

I chose my armies based on the idea that worst-case (i.e. I have to play Braxas against FEs, or I'm playing FEs against someone playing kamikaze Braxas) it's a balanced, if not terribly skill-heavy matchup. However, you were the only one that even pushed me to that point; in my other games my opponents either didn't play the Braxas army that way, or they picked a different army that gave me a more favorable matchup.
