Congrats to Keen.

And does anyone know what the music in the end is called?

The one problem with TL's format is exposed, the point system is good, but it exposes the tournament to problems like that.


There was one thrown series in 15 qualification tournaments. The format is fine.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Little uncomfortable watching those games to be honest. I can understand Life just not giving a damn given that he was already qualified but it must REALLY suck to be Seed right now given that Life literally just handed Keen the place ahead of him.

it's not that he threw it. He didn't give a fuck because he's in the tournament no matter what. It's also really late in korea which people seem to forget and he probably just wanted to go to bed after playing so many bo3's and again he knew he qualified so he probably didn't care if he lost in the finals.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Reminder that one of his 6 pool actually won him a game.

Squirtle is already in. And those with points haven't done nothing, they've participated in the other 4 KR qualifiers. That's why the points system exists.

I'm pretty sure the 6pools were part of Life's game plan. There IS incentive for him to carrying on playing, you can an extra $50 more. I'm sure that doesn't seem like a lot to you folks, but I'd definitely play for more money.

And didn't you see Life's Code A games against VINES? He Nydus Worm rushed Game 1 and 6pooled Game 2. This is obviously something Life incorporates into his style.
There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum.

Don't want to have games like these? Get a qualifier format that doesn't lead to situations like this. Blaming players for not giving a shit about meaningless games is stupid as hell.

Realistically though, this happens in all sorts of competitions all around the world, including ones of a profile much higher than any SC2 tournament. It's like half of TL has never followed any other sport ever, and are suddenly shocked and appaled that a match that is meaningless for one of the parties can influence the standing of others in the tournament.

Keen deserves it for the close series against Polt

These games were probably really late at night by the time it came to the finals and Life had no real incentive of winning except if he really wanted a bit of extra cash.

Hey, 50 dollars is a lot of money for Life to buy food for his starving team.

I lost a lot of respect for life, or was therea legitamate reason for him doing this? I know was already in but that doesnt mean you throw the games.

LOL

If you've seen Life play in GSTL or GSL... it's not really a surprise. He's a bit of a weirdo who doesn't really have much regard for 'normal' game plans.

Hyper fast nydus + 6 pool to win the fastest ZvP series in GSL history, not three days ago.

Sick IdrA GG'ing out against Puzzle the instant he lost six burrowed infestors.

A bit of a character :O

I thought ZeNEX got the thing.
