So, can we just sum up that the zerg won the games where he successfully teched to broodlord / corruptor / infestor and lost the rest? Or the terran lost all the games where he allowed the zerg to tech to broodlord / corruptor / infestor and won the rest?

No agressive play? Life opened early pool twice and was always searching for backstabs and openings and kept Mvp at his base for as long as possible. Blame Mvp for going mech EVERY single game if you didn't like passive play.

I don't think it was life's fault, he was agressive, there's just no other way to kill mech at lategame without brood lords, specially with so many tanks

pretty much. i kinda feel that the whole series was too 1 dimensional and didn't have much variety. straight up mech vs broodlord/corruptor/infestor. i was hoping mvp with spice things up a bit or life would try something insane but it didn't happen. but then again, it's all for the sake of winning so i guess they both just made compositions that they know will win the game for them.

Haha, watch the games before you whine. As i recall it was Life who was the agressor throughout most of the series. The only real agression MVP did was trying to roast drones in the early part of the game, rest of the games he turtled heavily. Gongratz Life!

People will bitch out IMMvp till the end of time. Didn't pull one cheese off and not even a CC first. Then people still shit on BFH builds?

Managed to spoil myself, so no idea how exciting the finals really were. Slightly repetative with really similar builds - from both players throughout the series, but to me it looked like they were really evenly matched. I was betting on MVP winning, but hoped Life would win, so gratz Life! He won himself some of the games with nice tech switching to Ultralisks.

I am looking forward to HotS with it's new units, because I think the metagame is becoming a little stale. I dislike that the whole low use of the Battlecruiser and Carrier. Both Zerg and Terran air-to-air seems a bit too strong, probably due to the Colossi.

Bio with some match thrown in? Did you even watch the games at all?
If you think it is "Bio" when Terran makes few Marines at the start and a BUNKER, then yeah, there was a Bio play in all 7 games... And some mech? He used Mech every single game.

The problem is though that early aggression just doesn't cut it for terrans with queens like they are now. this range buff killed a lot of terran openings. The style we see thus is more lategamefocused with a lot of turtling from T. And Z really can't break a Terran defense without Blords. And there we go with this finals.

I rooted for MVP but I can't say Life didn't deserve it. congratz
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

it's a shame the outcome of the Finals are on TL's front page. Spoiler alert, someone? It's the first thing I read this morning and I would have liked to keep the results hidden until I viewed the games...

I don't know what is going on with all the people saying "GG I guess..." or "boring games". The builds may have been just about the same every game, but the micro and tactics and harass from both players made the finals so intense. Very exciting games. Congratulations Life!
