I think just "Lee Young Ho", "God", or whatever and the hype surrounding him in combination with playing on a foreign stage took away his confidence for a bit. I don't doubt he can come back and crush Flash (after rolling Heart, of course) if he can regain his confidence, That's a rather big if, though.

And that makes me sad. What happened to the kid who talked trash and didn't care who he had to face? He beat Nestea, Seed, MKP, Taeja, and Mvp to reach that championship and people thought he would fail at every single point. Life always talked about how he knew he was good enough to beat anyone as long as he played the game correctly. Seeing this collapse happen against someone who has done nothing of note in SC2 is depressing.

Life already looks a lot better. Maybe he can re-gain confidence vs. Heart and proceed to beat Flash in an extended.

2-0 over Heart. Bit concerned he went for roach/baneling/zergling aggression in both games. He usually reserves that specifically for Antiga Shipyard.

I know there is no real excuse, but this kid is probably overwhelmed by the environment. Its his first time out of the country and he is still a kid. Im going to be disappointed in him but I am still cutting him some kind of break.

Life was way up both games against Flash so I'm still taking him in an extended series. He definitely did not play like himself in the end game of both of those games.

Life vs Flash in the second semifinals. Down 2-0, I have faith he can run it back as long as he keeps his composure.

I think Life can bring it back if he doesn't get psyched out.

I believe in Life if he can keep his confidence. No one can play ZvT like he can if he's confident.

Life has tied the series 2-2, looking like another player entirely.

If Flash was playing anyone else, I'd be rooting for him because it'd be sick to see him in an MLG finals. But this is Life, man... Just, no. I can't.

Anyone know where I can get some Life replays? (replays not vods)

He looks so much like little Jaedong on the player cam ..

The mutalisk micro (if it can be called that - not like BW Muta micro) also makes him reminiscent of JD :D
