He was totally dead at the end of the second. Life had a very good army, Major had hardly any vikings and was denied his fourth multiple times with natural and third very low on resources.

Is there any possibility of Rain facing Life ???

He's good apparently, not sure how he plays ZvZ. Plays extremely boring in vT and vP from what I've seen, but highly rated by the Kespa players

Major stop making tanks and you can win.
If he had made 4 thors instead of 4 tanks just now, he could've done a good timing and won.
Except players don't see the 'exact' comp of their opponent. Too many thors (and less tanks) just means you get run over by roaches. That is one of the issues when playing mech, your tank/thor ratio has to be pretty close to optimal versus the zerg's comp.

In fairness to Major, he played really well. Sucks that he went up against Life. nah he didn't play that well to be honest. That 8 command center move was way too early and the harass/defense wasn't that solid either. It looked good almost when life threw away half his army by attacking before broods but he was way behind anyway.
I suppose that's a fair point. Life is still a boss though.

He's Code S caliber, essentially.

Lol, and to think that in Heart of the Swarm there will be even MORE free units for the Zerg Well, if you apply the same logic, marine bullets are free units for Terran and stalker shots are free units for Protoss.
No that does not follow the same logic.

Well Life threw away that army to weaken the mech force.
That trade was not good but Life was way ahead anyways and was making Bls+Infestor.
Things just snowballed from there and Major getting outmultitasked by Life.
In fairness,judging by Major play.
He really thoroughly studied Life play.
But if 4time GSL Champ MVP can't do it, then Major probably can't

Is there ANY chance, Sheth, a ZvP master, comes up with something funny and takes a game off Rain?

Let's see if MLG Day 1 wraps up in time for GSTL with MVP and the penultimate games for SlayerS.

If they keep winning, of course it is possible. But Rain will not go into Life's group in the 'group stage'.

Major...6 extra CCs only half of which converted to orbitals...
use some for PFs? nah. use some for orbitals? nah.
foreigner mode. activate! He was out of cash and needed to build an army. It's not going 'full foreigner' if you can't magic minerals out of nowhere. If you dont have the cash to build extra CCs with an army and convert them into ocs or pfs...then don't build all the CCs. It was poor management. Deal with it.
'Deal with it' is obnoxious, I'm hardly devastated. He built them with the expectation that Life wouldn't flank around his army. You have to take risks to get ahead in this game, especially against a player of Life's mechanics.

Life's army was like 7 half health broods, a few queens, infestors with no energy, and a bunch of infested terrans that were about to die. That's not a very good army. Major was out mining him, had a few full health vikings and a planetary in the middle. Life wouldn't have been able to kill the planetary with that, and major was in a position to rebuild his army faster.

How is Major not more successful. Even Koreans respect him in KR. He doesn't play in anything, and he doesn't put himself on the spotlight in the community. He even deleted his twitter because it affected his practice. Funny you say that during an MLG match he's currently playing in. Funnier that he has played in almost every MLG and over like 400 tournament games. LOL, every MLG? He had to keep rejoining teams to send him to MLGs, how can you flame me when you said "Don't quote me on this". The tournament games are qualifiers and playhems with some team leagues and TSL4 thrown in. He won WCS Qualifier, advanced to China barely missing the winners bracket finals. Pretty sure the last MLG he attended was the one where sixjax sent him... He played in WCS last time but not MLG because he wanted to focus on his performance there. Calm down or I'll poke you with bamboo.
Then don't throw out false info as a fact. He's never invited to anything and he has barely played in anything big following his stint in Korea.
