At the time of writing, it has been 210 days since Life last won a major tournament. Right after the release of HotS, Life beat Minigun, Polt, Last, MC and Flash to win 2013 MLG Winter, taking the first championship of HotS in very convincing fashion when every other Zerg seemed to suck, pretty badly. We all know what happened after that, with Life dropping out of Code S and going from being StarTale's undisputed ace to being the, if we're being generous, third best player on the team.

Flash forward a few months, and here we are. Life will play in the finals of yet another major tournament against my #2 favorite player, Naniwa. To say that I am hyped does not do what I'm feeling right now justice.

Will it be a stomp? You bloody well better believe it will. Naniwa has got nothing on Life. As for why he'll win?

Well...

I fear it will be a boring finals with Life stomping Naniwa so bad he won't come out of his hole for the rest of the year.

Life vs NaNiwa. Literally impossible to choose who to cheer for.

I am kind of maybe cheering a little more for nani, though, as he can go to BlizzCon with good results.

I consider myself a pretty fanatic Naniwa fan and I'd cheer for him against any player at any time (unless the player was Bomber pre-Season 2 finals) except Life. But when Life plays there's just no contest - I hope Naniwa can feel satisfied with his performance after the finals, though.

I've been trying to explain to some of my SC2 noob friends how cool this is as a huge Naniwa and Life fan myself. And I tried to explain how there's this guy Zealously on TL that is probably going to write something about the match. because he's the biggest Life fan I know of. You don't disappoint Zealously! SO HYPED

5/5

I mean not waiting until your player makes the final before posting. Might as well do a 'Why Dear will win the GSL'

I waited like 30 mins after Flash lost his match to shout his name. I think everyone didn't want to bother him but after I called him over a huge crowd formed for his signature !!
