Oh, certainly. The only person I felt had a legit chance at taking out Life in TvZ this tournament is Innovation, and that's mostly because his timings just seem to work. Other than the KeSPA Terran, I don't think anyone in the world can reliably beat Life in TvZ.

Snute decided to shove all in and it worked , I don't blame him though he had no chance of winning otherwise after his third was denied and he stood to lose all his roaches on the map to the mutas.

How many times out of ten would nydus work vs a muta player who had his mutas pathing towards the nydus as it was making.

It was like watching a poker game where queen -7 shoves all in vs AK and wins..you know the player with AK made the right decisions but he lost the near coin flip even though he was favored. Crazier shit has happened.

Life's had a few rough games recently, but he'll bounce back. I'm not convinced Life couldn't have played his series vs. Snute a lot better than he did, but he certainly has some trouble with the match-up presently. Winter break should fix this.

Either way, we should send him a few tweets, let him know he's still the best (well, maybe not this weekend) in the business.

It was razor thin, a couple of more seconds, and the Mutas kill the Nydus before it finishes and Snute loses. But stuff like this happens in ZvZ, like the build order loss to Leenock in game 2. The bigger problem is how he lost game 2.

The Leenock and Snute games on Cloud Kingdom were very similar, both on 4 base with similar compositions, opponent attacks 4th, comes out way ahead because of bad positioning by Life, pushes the advantage from there to win.

2-0 in World Championship so far. So tense.

Not the sharpest game vs Scarlett, but a win's a win. He'll have to do better than that to take down 3 more zergs, though.

Bit worried over his lack of experience in lategame ZvZ, but he made it through. It's all ZvZ from here and I hope he can find some redemption.

World: We heard Zergs were OP so we brought *puts on sunglasses* 4 Zergs! (and Lucifron)

Korea: We also have Zergs... but just Life will do

....Will Life counter the World?

Loses to Stephano, but a 4-kill is not too shabby.

Not bad, but his games against Scarlett and Stephano didn't do much to convince me his lategame ZvZ is watertight.

Call me hard to please

a 4-kill is only average for Life!

It's not, and he'll have to learn how to play lategame ZvZ over the next few months if he wants to be a top dog in all matchups. At the very least this will spark some confidence back into his play.
