Never doubted you.

Never doubted MVP either.

Either person deserved it.

Back like 2-3 months BEFORE the queen patch, when early/mid agression was quite standard for both sides BL's seemed like a luxury, that made you gasp in awe when they came out.

Nowadays they're too standard imo, but enough of that Life played really well and showed he can adapt. Didn't see that much of Life's unique playstyle but oh well.

GG wp by both. I think MVP should still be considered the most accomplished/best WoL player even though he lost.

Mvp already had 'best WoL' player wrapped up with his season 2 win. This finals run just put him even further up.

Wow looks like Life will win the next 4 GSLs! Someone of that age is bound to improve! Just keep him away from hookers and cocaine.

I think the finals were only fun to watch because of what was on the line. It was just a clash of the same build order seven times (with slight variations).

Takes me back to the amazing DRG vs. MKP rivalry, that seemed a lot more fun to watch...

Still, Life played very solid and found the strength needed after game 5, Mvp's fifth title will have to wait.

Congrats Life!

no one think Infestor is overpower?
only zerg player need do is A and control infestor F to terran army !


protoss does the same, using F with forcefield

Plus if you want to look at statistics, im pretty sure MC + MVP have won more titles/tournaments than their respective zerg players, before people whine about balance.

Amazing final! And wow, we are looking at a terrifying future Zerg-player if you ask me.
Really sad to see MVP loose tough. I firmly belive that Terran players will start picking up ghosts again after this finals. Vikings aren't enough to battle against corruptors and GG-Lords with Infestor support.

Funny that everyone is bashing on life going infestor broodlord when it was MVP who went mech every single game... As you may already know the only viable composition lategame vs mech is infestor/brood/roach. Life's games in ro8 and ro4 were among the best zvts i have seen this year... Even though the games were kinda stale at times it was still an epic finals imo.

And MVP went Tank/Thor/Hellion every game. So what? What unit is he supposed to build? Life pretty much built all the units in the Zerg arsenal this series except Hydras. He made Zerglings, Roaches, Mutas, Infestors, Broodlords, Ultralisks and Corrupters. Which other units should he have built?

Yeah, GJ life. I think terran has been really nerfed badly. at least turn back the snipe damage back


"at least" yeah such a small thing the old snipedmg. What is wrong with this community.


I dont think subtier players realize how retarded the old snipe made TvZ at high levels. A metagame where one unit counters all zerg T3 is a bad meta.

It was almost as bad as the old Neural made ZvP.

THANKS for the quick recap of the finals, I could only stay up for the 2 games. Kind of depressing that MVP couldn't hold off a single Broodlord based composition after I've seen it done so flawlessly many times. Want to buy VOD of final GG.

It never was OP, snipe only looked OP in a couple of series' by a couple of the best players in the world, they didnt even give it a chance to develop in the metagame, just nerf hammered it as soon as it looked viable, like many other strats, fucking blizzard

Very happy for Life and Startale, even though I was rooting for Mvp. Royal roading makes me hot and bothered. Finals was on at a shit time for me so I'll check the VODs now. Once again, congrats Life!

Wow, pretty damn impressive of (T)Stalife to not only win the GSL after coming back from being inactive for a long time, but to also do so after switching from Terran to Zerg!
