"Someone else".. Just what FrostedMiniWheats said.. I'm also rooting for Squirtle, I'm pretty sure he can do it.

If you've watched enough StarCraft 2 (2 specifically), you'd know that the only thing consistent in terms of results is that it won't be consistent. Even if somebody is the best player in the world, you just can't be sure that they will win because they have not reached a level that they are the best in the world by so much that you can rely on it. Even now, ST_Life is for sure not the best player in the world, and he does not have that much skill more than the contestants already there, korean or not.


Life was consistent enough not to lose a Bo3+ in ZvT for almost a year. "The game is too volatile" is an excuse commonly used when people's favorite players lose, but don't fool yourself - Life is heavily favored against every single player in this tournament. Will he drop a few maps? Probably, but that happens in every game and every comparable sport.

I don't agree that he is heavily favoured against every player. Against Hyun, Squirtle, etc. he is only slightly favoured, and he will be playing people of that level after the group stages. And even if he is favoured, the chances of winning 4 matches in a row are still quite low, therefore I wouldn't give him more than 20-25% chance of getting 1st place, and ~75% of reaching the semifinals.

The "game is too volatile" can either be an excuse or an explanation for why somebody lost, depending on what happens. Of course he's favored, but that doesn't mean that he's infallible. I'm honestly offended that you would suggest something so audacious as fact. It's quite cocky, really.
hmm... let's think about it

Life has mostly lost ZvZs in HotS. His ZvT and ZvP records are still 67%+.

lmao, really?

Life is really damn good and the favorite, but c'mon he's not THAT favored. No mention of Squirtle, Hyun, Taeja, or Violet and then the someone else option? JD alone I think would have a fairly good shot at knocking Life out if they meet in the ro8+, it's not like it's just Life and a bunch of foreigners.

Personally, I think Squirtle has got it in him to win it all. He's been in Europe for awhile now iirc, so he shouldn't be jetlagged either.


He is that favored, don't fool yourself. Life has won the past two MLG's, he's good at these kinds of tournaments.

This poll lacks many players.
Besides, Life is not Flash, which makes this poll not as funny as it is supposed to be
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!

Another way to paraphrase this poll would be 'will Life be in good form at DH, yes or no'.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Squirtle and HyuN should both be terrifying for Life.

I'm going to doubt that Life can win, so that he can win.

I think at this point most people are voting just to keep 50/50
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
