this kinda shows that match lengths are ultimately arbitrary.

just looking at the results, if it was a bo3 Life would've won 2-0, if it was a bo5, MVP would've won 3-2, but it was a bo7 so Life won 4-3. maybe in a bo9 MVP wins, maybe not.

not at all trying to take away from Life's victory, just an observation. of course you could argue that they would've played differently if they were told it was a different match size.

I'm still of the opinion that Stephano is the better Zerg, but he needs to stop fucking around and play in GSL already.

Which is why MVP has 4 GSL championships right?

Because he has the worst builds =P

Wow. Life! So glad to see him win!
The balance whine apart, was this a good final?

Well to be fair, MVP made his own new builds that completely countered (blue flame double rax) and used deceptive appearing builds (mass hellion into cloak banshee) to combat's Life's style.

What amazes me is that in all 7 games, Life's playstyle was COMPLETELY countered and he still won.

I do have to wonder, other than 100% countering a player's style that he never deviates from, stopping his cheese every time he does it, and not making the smallest of overextensions, what else could Mvp have done better in this series?

Make vikings when he saw the spire late? Doesn't really work, Zerg can mass Corrupter/Brood Lord WAAYYYYY faster than Terran can possibly get up 2 Starports and get Vikings out. I'd also like to note that in the games where Mvp continued tank production while Brood Lords were being made, Ultralisks were the unit being produced after the initial push every single time. He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. I want to know what Blizzard believes is the correct way, as a Terran, to play against a Zerg who tech switches at will, after having your build completely countered from start to finish.
