GG, i hope HOTS comes out soon WOL is really stagnant now...
I don't even think that game was good.
None of the games really left an impact, the only reason I can see people talking about this in the future is if like it's the start of multiple championships for Life or if it's like "the one that got away" for Mvp.
It's only notable for the history that was/would've been made, not by the games.

Last game reinforcement with roaches and lings instead of bls was pretty nasty though. Not as exciting as MVP 2 rax cheese game 7. But ggs all around.
Call me after you lose 80 out of 100 games going muta/ling/bling against MVP style mech and complain about life going for the correct response then.

I am so fucking mad.
Mom is really super happy though she is all smiles.
From his dad's perspective, life wont be able to sustain this and instead of taking 10 hours a day to study so he can get into Seoul National University and become a rich and powerful lawyer he will be just some random guy. I understand his dad, but it is still pretty cruel to look that mean to a 14 year old.
Life 100% earned that with how he played against how MVP played, but, jesus, TvZ right now. Ugh.
Queens / spines / fungals / speedlings, how do you harass that? Turtle in infestor / broodlord + ultra switching and/or roaches mixed as needed. I don't see how elite Zergs should lose to elite Terrans barring major mistakes. Make snipe useful late game vZ again? I don't know, I don't know, but this is all getting almost as old as brood lord vs. vortex nonsense.
I believe the patch zerg phenomenon is absolutely real in some areas / on some servers. Life IS playing the best TvZ in the world right now, though, and just proved as such, so all the respect in the world to him for that.
Wow such good play from Life. He always looked like a strong and unpredictable player but to pull off the royal road and win against Mvp no less. So impressed and happy for him. Startale curse broken!

Oh well, GGs.
Don't ruin this glorious moment.
its so true
I would like to go step farther and also point out the fact that MVP was fine in each game until Infestors came out.

I'm really hoping for this too. Please Life, don't be a flash in the pan.
jjakji, while very good, had the luckiest run in GSL history with Supernova throwing away a won elimination game in Ro32, Coca DQ'ing in Ro16, and Puzzle being jet lagged in Ro8. Life pretty much crushed everyone and then beat Mvp. He'll be fine.
Fionn hit the nail on the head on this matter.
Anyway, congrats to Life! I'm surprised some dude a few pages back said he hadn't heard of Life before... do you even follow SC2? This kid has been tearing shit up for months. Go Life! ^^
