Well.. life was ahead in both the games against PartinG after the initial ling pressure. The problem is that the counterattack caught life before he could get his tech of choice. Roaches would have solved that.. he was too greedy.

Certainly he’ll exchange banter with Parting in trash talk and he’ll acknowledge Flash as a player, but no player has ever triggered a sense of competitive obsession the way Seed does in Symbol, Thorzain with Naniwa, or detection does for InCa.

Oh man, I lose stuchiu, I simply lose. Great write-up!

I came here to see some spoilers (actually, just the results, because I missed the action while at uni) and I was not disappointed. PartinG FTW!

There is no need to bash good players when they failed to make it out of the group. Just because they did not win does not automatically make them bad.

And yeah, I can quite confidently state that you suck at spelling, because even with the help of a spell checker (I can see the red lines underlining "sux" you've managed to suck at spelling.

Oh yes, and you failed to use "sux" in the right context. Given that you're using Life and Flash as a collective, it should have been used as "suck" and not "sucks", although it's baffling me right now as to how you'd go about spelling that.

Pretty sure you took that comment way too seriously.

It's obvious they don't "suck at SC2"

Honestly I haven't been following that closely lately, but everyone here is underestimating Parting, not to mention seriously overestimating Innovation.

Innovation is as described in the thread: standard terran at a high level. Technically sound. Not clutch, no comparable results, not a real champion. Can he win? Sure, but his chances don't compare to those of these 3 proven champions.

Parting is disliked cause he's got attitude. He was largely overlooked in WoL for a long time too. The first time I saw him play he wasn't given much credit, but from that game, I finally saw someone who I thought understood how to play SC2. Then he was hardly visible for a year or so, and finally broke through, winning the BNet WC and WCG. All I can say is watch him shred life in this match.

Life is the best player in the world, in most ways, but his micro can't match parting's, and with the balance currently favouring protoss, life won't be able to think his way out of the pressure parting puts on.

Flash is smarter than life, and more professional. He'll prepare very hard for these matches, because showing his fans good games means more to him than anyone else here (how do you think he went from #1 in BW to where he is now?). Again, because parting has stronger micro and is more likely to cheese than Life, he will be much harder to prepare for, Flash also sees Life as the more significant rival and is the one he will be most interested in defeating. It's hard to tell exactly when Flash will overtake Life, but once he does, Life will never get back on top.

Parting>Life --- Life is a little better, but P > Z is the trend
Innovation<Flash --- This TvT is Innovation's best chance for an upset.
Life>Innovation --- EGPZ
Parting>Flash --- Parting will win because he must. He'll be afraid to play Life again.
Flash>Life --- Might be worth a watch.

Flash and Parting advance!

From where did you think Parting has better micro then Life ? Have you seen Life's ling micro vs Terrans ? It's something not even Leenock can compete with. Of Life's play his reaction speed and micro are simply top of this world.

Just by my general sense Parting's is better. Here's a random example of Parting doing cool things recently:
http://www.gomtv.net/2013wcs1/vod/72030 (jump to 15:50 to see it). After the game, Artosis says Parting's mutant power is micro, kind of like Wolverine has regeneration lol. I don't think this is one of the better examples of Parting's skills, but there's no question his micro is top class.

Nobody'd argue that PartinG's micro is insanely good - but you really underestimate Life's micro abilities

Zerg micro - as usual - isn't incredibly impressive to watch, but Life normally just doesn't lose anything due to his micro (and whatever he does there :-P ). Best example MLG: Who on earth defends a blue flame Hellion push with Lings and Drones only? I mean... that's not even possible... normally...

I know life's micro is great, but Parting's control reminds me of Bisu in BW. I'll reconsider if I see Life go for an early attack or two against Parting (and they don't fail brutally). He used to practice with him a lot -- I think he knows better. In a random clip of parting playing ladder at the team house, I saw him mineral walk to surround and kill 2 stalkers at his ramp with 1 zealot and about 7 probes. He lost 2 probes. Who does that? Hahaha.

Sup, micro looked rather silly and one sided, dem Life lings

Sup? Better luck next WCS, Life... As long as Parting doesn't get to pick you again.

I should apologize though to Innovation fans, as I said I haven't been following closely lately, and it appears he's gotten a lot better.
