I'm glad it is Life who made it through not MC. Aw, Flash lose. I cant wait for another rematch of both of them. I will support Flash, and hope he win. | ||

More importantly, in the Round of 16, Every Zerg left facing a terran (excepting Life) was 3-0'd, and before you scream Korean vs Foreigner, so was leenock. Additionally, the Zerg facing a toss was 3-1'd, and even Life had to pull out a 3-2 victory (though admittedly he was playing Polt). | ||

Finals had a lot of suspense but Flash tore my heart going the same strat vs muta ling bane 3 games in a row while he didn't even come close to winning. I don't know - previous one was pretty epic as well... | ||

PvZ and TvP feel fucked to be honest. Couldn;t help but feel P is forced to play aggressively in TvP or just die to medivacs, if they invest in too much defense against drops they just die on the ground (phoenix for example are nice at stopping drops but just suck for anything else). Z is also forced to play aggressive in PvZ to not die to the deathball, for example MC just died to 3 aggressive early plays which are not difficult to stop at all. Despite Z winning they are definately weakest, they just hardly get anything useful while there are a couple more openings to surprise them with. Their lategame composition is pretty much nerfed to death as well. Life won the event but basically on WoL units alone and by being aggressive or gaining big advantages early on. I feel if flash used tanks / widow mines for defense a little better early on he would have beaten Life too | ||

Flash stated that he hadnt played the beta at because of proleague all when it was already ended, and that he just now felt he was starting to get a grasp on wol. So yeah... I think Flash will win this code S or next. It seems he still hasnt played the game long enough to perfect more than one strategy in some matchups (tvz) which shows in his lack of versatility. | ||

Edit: Life's play style might be really effective because he is the only one who does it, and if more zergs did it, more P and T would know what to do against it. In that case a buff would be fine. | ||

With a 2 - 1 victory over the two time GSL champion MC, Bomber earned a third place finish at MLG Dallas, his best finish in a major tournament yet. I think you meant INnoVatioN there... :p | ||

Life's games were every bit the "fun" as WoL in its heyday- I really, really enjoyed this tournament. The BL/Infestor turtle is clearly dead. The only changes I'd make is to have a better way for Phoenix/Viking to catch turbovacs- Mutas were able to catch them sometimes between turbos. | ||

Flash got second place. 1 month ago, he was considered a mid code-A player caliber, yet this tournament, he was able to get to second place among all the elite competition. That's top-tier code S material. I would say that's a success. I admit, Life is hella good, but I feel this tournament gave me hope, as a flash fan, instead of disappointment. It showed me the rate of improvement of flash. From a bw legend to mild success in sc2 to a top code-s level player all within a couple months. | ||

But it was 1 series. Who are we to determine balance off of 1 Bo5? Let's give a time before we conclude that Zergs are underpowered and need range 7 queens :p | ||
