In the beginning, Elfi created the pylon and the gateway. Now the APM counter was declining and nearly empty, darkness was over most of the minimap, and his cat Pekka was hovering over the keyboard.

And Elfi said, "Let there be gas," and there was gas. Elfi saw that the gas was good, and sent three probes into each geyser to harvest it. Elfi called the first three probes "for core", and the other three probes "for stargate". And there was the occasional e-click, and the occasional "not enough minerals", the first minute.

And Elfi said, "Let there be a pylon between the structures to separate structure from structure." So Elfi made the pylon and separated his gateway from the core on the other side. And it was so. Elfi began his first zealot. And there was the occasional e-click, and the occasional "not enough minerals", the second minute.

And Elfi said, "Let the nexus in the main produce a mothership core, and let a mothership core appear." And it was so. Elfi rallied the mothership core to his ramp, and the new probes he put on minerals. And Elfi saw that it was good.

Then Elfi said, "Let the core research warp gate: gateways to eventually transform into warp gate and bear units with attacks, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The core researched warp gate, a second gateway went into construction to bear units with attacks according to their kinds. And Elfi saw that it was good. And there was the occasional e-click, and the occasional "not enough minerals", the third minute.

And Elfi said, "Let there be a stargate to make phoenixes and punish expansions, and let them serve as scouts to mark enemy buildings, units, and researches, and let them be units in the airspace of the map to defend the base." And it was so. Elfi made two phoenixes - the phoenix to show his chosen tech path to the enemy, and the oracle to die to enemy stalker pressure. He also made a hallucinated phoenix. Elfi set it in the base of the enemy next to his real phoenix to deliver more scouting information, and to confuse the enemy as to which phoenix was the real one. And Elfi saw that it was good. And there was the occasional e-click, and the occasional "not enough minerals", the fourth minute.

And Elfi said, "Let the phoenixes use all of their energy, and let them fly above the mineral lines across the base of the enemy." So Elfi hit the G key and clicked on things in the mineral line, according to their kinds, and lifted the stalker instead of the probe. And Elfi saw that it was good, since it gave his oracle free rein to shoot the probes. Elfi blessed them and said, "Vittu." And there was the occasional e-click, and the occasional "not enough minerals", the fifth minute.

And Elfi said, "Let my base produce units according to their kinds: the zealots, the stalkers that blink across the map, and the sentries, each according to their kind. And it was so. Elfi made the sentries according to their kinds, the zealots according to their kinds, and the stalkers that blink across the map according to their kind. And Elfi saw that it was good.

And Elfi said, "Let us expand while attacking, while making air units, so that I may simultaneously achieve everything and optimize the use of my eighty actions per minute on my zealots, and my sentries, and over all the stalkers that blink across the map."

So Elfi expanded to his natural in his main's image, in the image of his main he expanded there, nexus he created there.

Elfi blessed it and said to it, "Be fruitful and deliver probes, fill the mineral line and empty it. Remind me to take both assimilators to that I may hide probes from attacks in them. Allow me to build more zealots and sentries and stalkers that blink across the map.

Then Elfi said to Pekka, "I give you every expansion on the face of this whole map and every building powered by my Artosis pylon. They will be yours to control. And to all the units of the map and all the phoenixes in the sky and all the sentries that blink across the map, everything with the tag "elfi" on it, I send to the enemy base to attack." And it was so.

Elfi saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was the occasional e-click, and the occasional "not enough minerals", the sixth minute.

Thus the base and the buildings were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh minute Elfi had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh minute he left to go take a dump and left Pekka in charge. Then Elfi blessed Pekka and made him holy, because he had just entrusted the winning of at least 100 WCS points to his cat.

and he said unto the dark templar: take thee a young probe for a sin offering, and a sentry for a burnt offering, with a lot of energy, and offer them before ELFI.

I now like Elfi.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

We all know that Elfi = Life and thus also (Z)Life. I have heard some theologians think that they are one and the same person, or two seperate ones. Which one is the true path, and who must be burnt at the stake for having the wrong idea?

So since Elfi is god, Welmu should be the christ. Since he was the savior of the ATC and defeated the evildoers of the Bounty Hunters?
