I trust Flash.

He played great despite relatively little HotS practice, and has already shown that like in BW, he is the kind of player that just gets better and better. Indeed, Life is the beginning of a new generation, but Flash is still young.

I wouldn't be surprised if Flash and Life end up playing each other in code S. Let's enjoy the show of a new rivalry.

He did. He show Life that Life's the boss. Nobody can tell this as convincingly as Flash himself.

Yeah! Now Zerg can stop bitching about Terran and Toss being OP. I hate the poor me shit we hear all day every day from the Zerg babies! lol But Im sure they'll find something else to cry about until Blizzard changes something to get a break from all the bitching haha

Such a great tournament. More then I could have ever hoped for. It makes me optimistic for HOTS tournaments in the future.

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


Haha I saw that too...but I figured that was a joke because of what happened before the finals XD.

Fantastic writeup, you really illustrate the symbolic significance of a Flash vs Life finals. I have been curious for a while why Zergs don't use speed overlords to pop mines before a big engagement. Is it just too wasteful economically? Flank over the Terran army with 6 Overlords, pop all the mines (they take 2 hits, less if you factor in marine fire) and rush in with ling-bling against a Terran army with no splash. Pure theory-craft of course.

I feel, this article is a bit onsided. Like "Life is here, Flash can retire now". But maybe I am wrong with that.

Also I think, that Flash did not really well in the final. It seems to me, he could do better but was not prepared for the style, life played in the final. After all, I am glad, that Terran is only semi-imba and can be beaten.

Great MLG, great write-up

Highly recommend

Flash v Bly (who I hope gets more and more credit for that series, really amazing play on both sides)
MVP v Feast (another foreigner who did alot better than the series score would indicate)
Life v Polt (pretty sure this series is what taught Life what he needed to learn to smash Flash's lets dot he same imba thing a million times in a roll strategy, also was just a great series all around)
Grand finals were great if only to sit there slack-jawed at how near-perfect Life's play was.

I thought Flash vs Bogus on Whirlwind was an epic game and definitely the best of the tournament. The skill level in that game was insane. Also, Flash's progress is great, I can't wait to see more of him!

Also, great MLG overall! The most entertaining tournament I've seen in many months.

i get the feeling that HotS has that BW "thing" about fast games and skill (combination of APM and decision making), still it will never be BW, mainly cause its another era for esports... but the future is bright
