A niggling suspicion remains in my mind - does the author even follow Proleague? I believe most would hesitate to call the ace of Samsung Khan, and player with the second best Proleague record an underdog. Let's simply put it like this: Watching Life's plays purifies my eyes. | ||

The problem is that that sort of series would require a final edit length battle report, and that he did as well as possible in one paragraph. | ||

Well obviously, because they want people to watch the VoD. Post game write ups are supposed to be brief, enticing summaries that get you to want to watch the game, not detailed analysis that tell you every single detail. -- Let's go Life. You cannot be stopped. Allow us to beat witness to your greatness. | ||

Luckily, I am not Fionn and thus, this prediction should be fine. Well this ruined it. Anyways, glad to see MC advance, but Gumiho so deserved it  It's nice for racial parity though I guess XD. Was really hoping for Gumiho and MC, but congratulations to Curious! | ||

We haven't seen much from BBoongBBoong so far in his career, but taking down Squirtle and Hyun, two top protoss and zerg, in the last round was a strong statement. Can he repeat the trick? Odds are not but he created the upset last time, and he can no doubt do it again. RorO on the other hand would be a favourite to emerge from almost any group except this one. Right now he is red hot, winning 12 of his last 15 games. His ZvZ is outstanding but his ZvP has stood out as a weak spot. Parting is vulnerable. Ever since Life exposed the fatal weakness in his soul, the aura of invincibility has fell away. He could no longer be called the best player in the world. Now we remember he's never been a GSL champion or even finalist. He failed to impress in his last 2 tournaments, falling short of his lofty standards at Iron Squid II and IEM Katowice. But Life is perhaps even more vulnerable. We will soon see if choosing Parting to be his first opponent was confidence or arrogance. Has he fatally overreached? He might feel confident because of his decisive victory in the Blizzard Cup finals, but this time Parting will be desperate for revenge. He won't rely on the old, broken down soul train this time. He'll have new builds ready, and since their last meeting, the terrain has also shifted in his favour. The infestor nerfs have thrown the zerg-dominated metagame into disarray, and there are new protoss-favoured maps as well. It's impossible to say, but I have the feeling that Parting will continue the theme of revenge in this GSL's ro16. Innovation shutdown DRG in their ro16 rematch after getting shutout the previous round. Curious did the same to MC. Symbol managed to exact his revenge against Squirtle by the end of the same night. And if Life takes the L in his first match, he'll have no more margin for error. It could come down to him and RorO in the last match of the night for the last spot in the quarterfinals. RorO's zvz is world class. So is Life's but he has also shown dangerous vulnerabilities. In a match at Iron Squid II last month against Goswser, an unheralded zerg from North America (which says a lot right there), Goswser managed to take the first two games against Life before Life came back with three in a row. In the finals against DRG, Life had thrown it away after going down 0-3 in a bo7 with some sloppy play and questionable decisionmaking before storming back in the next 4 with, frankly, more than a little help from DRG. In a bo3 with everything on the line, if he makes two slipups in a row again, this time he'll be going home empty-handed. I still think Life and Parting are favoured to make it through, but it wouldn't be a big surprise to see one of them joining pre-tournament favourites Mvp, Nestea, DRG, Leenock, and Sniper in the practice queue for HotS games. | ||

Life 4-2 PartinG GSL Blizzard Cup These 2 are EXTREMELY evenly matched. I'd say it's a 50-50 chance for both. And I agree, BBongBBong and RorO are really good, but they really aren't on the same level with the first 2. However, crazy stuff have happened before... | ||
