He probably stood on the stage looking at it and thought "Oh, this is why people kiss the trophy. Because it's the sexiest thing I've ever seen in my life."

I noticed that too ! Well, you (Life) maybe don't get it until you finally get your hands on this trophy !


Or it might have something to do with the fact that the award ceremony ends with "And now it is time for the obligatory trophy kissing ceremony", as translated by Snowbird.

Great Finals! As I was routing for MVP, him winning would be the only thing to make it better but I am happy for startale and certainly Life. Life definitely proved himself to be an excellent player this season. I'm not a zerg player so I didn't realize until the finals who great a player he really is. He might have taken out Taeja and MKP with cheesy play but now I think, as Tastosis said, that he was jsut responding to their play-style. Bravo Life

Congrats to Life and Startale, they finally have a GSL Champion among their midst and a royal roader with that as well.

Infestor/Broodlord is probably the most powerful composition in the game. But it was MVP's fault that he produced tanks non-stop and refused to throw down extra starports in the games he lost (which would have given him the best chance against the comp).

Why are we blaming balance, when it was MVP's style that forced BL/Infestor in almost every game...?

What about last season? Or the season before that? Beatable then, huh? Its so funny how zerg wins one GSL out of the last 3, and 2 out of the last 7 or something, and everybody whines like a bitch. Why did MVP have to go mech and turtle every game? Why didn't he make some starports instead of an insane amount of tanks? I will remind you, the series was very close. There is no other answer for Mech, MVP made the decision and Life reacted.

Look at the # of zergs in Code A up and downs, and the number that made it through code A....the most underrepresented race....wow, how could that be when broodlord infestor is unbeatable? So biased and idiotic.

Very happy we got a game 7, and that MVP lost.

I didn't like the finals at all. It was just a constant game of 'Mvp gets hellions, Life loses' or 'Life gets Brood Lords, Mvp loses.' At some point, their weaknesses were so distinct that it makes me wonder how either of them even got to the finals.

This post is silly and wrong. MVP went mech each game and thus built hellions each game. In the final game he made lots of hellions (instead of just a couple), did a fair amount of damage and still lost. Life stomped everyone he faced up to the finals, so it's idiotic to question his past performances. I doubt you even watched the games.


Edit: The above post is pretty indicative of the posts of the whiney idiots who came to post in here after MVP, who hasn't been dominant for quite a while (despite winning a GSL), lost to a Zerg who's been outclassing just about everyone he's faced, including a much better TvZ'er in the semis, for the past two months. Terran does have it tough in the late game no doubt, but Terran still had 2 of 4 spots in the semis of the GSL, so do everyone a favor and, at least in zerg players fan clubs, STFU and GTF out of here with balance whine. Thanks.

I see you've met an important part of everyday life - taste and opinion. I am sorry if my opinion of these games is 'wrong' because you didn't like it.

Mvp didn't go mech each game and thus made hellions - he purposely got a second factory to get the Infernal Preigniter. Standard mech play involves getting only one Reactor Factory for hellions and not Infernal Preigniter - Mvp purposely over-made hellions to counter Life's ling style in almost every game he played.

Yes, I watched the games. It was Life against a couple of oblivious Terrans - Taeja and Marineking, who were not aware of Life's aggressive style therefore attempted to play their typical TvZ and lost. I doubt Life would've lasted through Round of 16/8 if he played Terrans who specifically prepared for his style and not just play a couple of practice matches to keep their fingers warmed up.

I like how you claim one thing and MKP's interview claims the opposite. Should I trust the random scrub on the forums who says things about players, or what the players actually say?

Watched it, but I'm gonna take a break from GSL, till HotS most likely. While the MU may be balanced, I really want to see something else than infestors every game.
(Heck, even Tastetosis got bored with watching the energy bars of those bugs and trying to count how much more fungals and IT we must endure, until something like a fight can happen...)

Well, if that's your favorite emotional outlet - you can also get pissed over somebody's analysis and post about it on Team Liquid. It's up to you.

it seems sc2 pro players haven't yet reached to so-called S-class level. So many mistakes here and there. Life had so many opportunities to drop zerglings into MVP's base given that his mech was immobile. MVP neglecting to use ghosts to defend infestor pressure (before broodlords). There are so many possibilities yet to discover I hope they gonna step up their games.
