Zerospace Winning Iron Shield on Brutal AFTER the Portal Opens

This was so much harder than I expected...

Ever since playing the Iron Shield Galactic Conquest map I always wanted to beat it *after* a portal had opened. I figured with the infinite scaling nature of the Legion Idal Conduit upgrade, I might be able to do it. So I loaded it up on Brutal difficulty and gave it a shot. I figured I'd record the "last couple minutes" after the portal opened and I pushed past the wave of enemies. Turns out it was going to be a little more difficult than that... It took me well over an hour of battling the hordes but I finally managed to do it.

I'm mostly shocked at how much of a balance there was, I could fight back enough to keep them from pushing out into the map, but I could also barely make progress pushing them back to the portal. For some reason it stopped letting me spawn units at all and I had to rely on just the obelisks, but eventually I managed to push all the way to the portal over a very long fought battle.

The video is probably not worth watching, it's an hour of me spawning obelisks, but if anyone is curious enough to skim through it, here is the proof.
