Anyways, this is karma payback for the time Keen had to hope Oz beat YuGiOh in the Up and Down matches, but Oz - who already qualified - fucked around with a random strategy and knocked Keen into Code A for a whole season.

Finally worked out for him this time.

Life 6 pools and does weird strategies all the time, nothing new really.


Versus VINES in the GSL, he did a nydus all in and a 6pool. Plus Keen lost versus one of his 6pools. This is typical Life style.

And you dont 6pool twice in 1 series. You know you will lose with the second 6 pool.


Wrong


well you saw keen playing save the 3th game vs another 6pool why would you 6pool in game 4 then?

People make it like Life just committed a sin or something. He was in the position where he can choose who can go through, if he chooses Keen, that's fine, Seed has no saying whatsoever in this. This game is not like Nestea vs Naniwa where 2 players can't change any results.

And FFS, the kid is 15 years old, if he has classes tomorrow and doesn't want to drag the games out, are we adults gonna flame him too?

Life doesn't care about sin because he is already in ze nexT life.

The difference is he didnt try at all, with the baneling bust he just detonated on the bunkers and typed. And you dont 6pool twice in 1 series. You know you will lose with the second 6 pool..


Tell that to MKP or MMA.

Seems like TSL4 will only have 3 seeds.

no way mayne, Keen got payback PLUS. Making TSL4 is one bazillion times more important than qualifying for GSL "Code Stinky".

I think it was pretty obvious that Life did not care after Game 3. He will do all-ins against protoss from time to time, but never against terran or zerg. This was very very odd to see from him, and it's a safe assumption that he threw the matches for any number of reasons (too tired, knew he was qualified anyway, had to go to school, etc.).

If it was matchfixing between the two players, then there was no reason why Keen should have lost Game 2. He could have easily walled off his ramp and claimed it was a safe reactored hellion expand.

I understand that people are upset because the games were mostly ass (and we want to be entertained) but unless there was blatant evidence of matchfixing, you can only accuse Life of playing like ass. Which he undoubtedly did. I don't think he was even aware of how it would bump Seed out of the qualifiers' circle.

I wouldnt say legitimate but abusive play. Works only because of actual metagame, requires 0 skill, provides 0 entertainment.
All we want in a RTS game.


It's just plain ol' cheese, nothing especially abusive about it. Beats greedy builds, loses to safe ones. Imo, roach/bling busts are a lot worse in this respect, because they transition easily after doing a modicum of damage and straight-up kill a whole bunch of openings.


Its abusive cause terran MUST play greedy vs zerg nowadays. How cant u understand that? i guess u never played or watch a recent TvZ.
Violet bust is very strong (op?) but not abusive in that regard cause not dependant of metagame. It can works even if terran open safe 13 gaz.


I really think your understanding of the term "abusive" differs from that of most SC2 players.


Yeah, this word is so difficult to understand that i may have been lost,in the depht of meaning. Hopefully u will enlight me with a good traduction? Because im too dumb to find it on the internet.

"Abusive", adj.: any successful strategy that the word's user disapproves of.

Maybe you can pull 2 cheeses off in a round of a lot. But in the finals you wont take the risk to get cheesed twice on the same way (as you see in how keen did it). Anyhow both life and keen deserved to qualify, only really unlucky for Seed that it has gone this way.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm personally not too pissed off about it, and I don't think Zenex will do anything about it. Congrats to Keen for qualifying.
