Innovation beat everybody 3-0 except Flash at the MLG Winter Championships including MC for third place. I have been waiting to see him play again. He doesn't disappoint. None of these guys disappoint. Win or lose they are all still the best in the game. They don't have to prove anything to anybody.

I'm just glad the games lived up to the hype. Except for the silly reaper auto win game, every game was crazy good and ridiculously exciting.

game 1: Life smelled blood in the water and went for the kill... and overcommitted. It happens. (to be fair: no other protoss in the world would have survived that onslaught)
game 2: Life had early aggression, then droned up behind it after Parting again held perfectly. Life was going to 3 bases when Parting hit the one base timing.

Also, a macro game vs Parting is NOT easy. Life lost a macro game last season in the Ro16 in a macro game to Parting.
How could a macro game against a top 3 toss in the world who just beat flash at macro be easy? -_-

Life's overrated, if you can't get out of the group stages 3 GSLs in a row then you are not the best player in the world. Meanwhile Roro won the last GSL, has done very well in proleague and people barely mention him. (Sniper all over again)

So true

LIfe's problem in the final game was all about the 20 lings that got forcefielded in by parting before he moved out. If Parting hadn't caught those, life would have held the push EZ. Amazing the little things that decide games.

To the question of true drama or publicity play, the answer appeared to be the latter: Parting apologized after the gamed ended and said that there is no actual tension between him and his former team.

Not sure where you got that from. I had thought they were just joking beforehand, the interview afterwards is what confirmed that there is some animosity between them.

I'm sorry to Life as well. Even after I won, I feel bitter when I think about him. I know it's my own fault, but I feel like I took my anger out on him. We were close when I was still on StarTale but now the relationship has completely reversed. I want to apologize to him as well as Bomber.

I really, really want a Bomber vs PartinG final, now. Oh God.

But we all know, Bomber will disappoint and drop off much too early. TT

I'm not sure where everybody is getting the "Life is better than PartinG" thing from. Granted, Life is stronger against other players, but head-to-head the two of them are pretty evenly matched. As shown by the last two GSLs. Anyway, great games all around.

Parting lost "back to back blowout games" you say, and you're saying he was all-in both games too. I wonder why he was trying to put down that 3rd nexus in game 1 then, it's not like he would have survived in the macro game, right? And Life sacrificed a bunch of units just to kill that pointless nexus... weird.

By the way, did you watch game 1?

He won many times already, I think that he was exhausted after the games against Innovation(which he should be, what Innovation did to him was insane) and wanted to end 2 games quickly. Didn't work though because of Parting and Force Fields.

Overall, the group went a bit worse than expected. First 3 sets were good(even though Life could've played better against Innovation, but we don't know if it would've changed anything, he just forced a lot of sloppy mistakes.), but then we had Parting vs. Flash and Parting vs. Life that were just painful to watch.
