Looks like a big factor was that the Guard command perikete2 was using is worse than useless most of the time. Causing units to follow another around rather than do anything sensible. Which is particularly bad for Fencer, which can't fire while moving.
Admittedly, ICUPEEE deciding the push with his commander without the necessary skills or backup also hurt badly.

I see two reasons why this game had a low utility rating for izirayd:

1.) extreme knowledge disparity. Lynx/ Doggystylus have far more knowledge (perceived) than ICUPEEE/ perikete2.
2.) Uneven teams putting more pressure on izirayd.
