People who said Life is throwing games you have to consider : 1. Flash is very good at this game 2. Life is 16 old who watched on TV Flash kicking ass.Life doesn't have alot of tournament xp and playing vs some of his heros I bet he was nervous alot.
And also you have to consider the way to beat infestors is to force miss fungals or have alot of medivacs. Both of those happen also Life counter attacks where shit they did like 0 dmg till the last one which lifted the 3rd base. Every time Flash was on the RIGHT place WITH THE RIGHT SIEGE all the time and Life traded zerglings,banes,festor energy for few marines 2-3 tanks. If you watch the game again you will see how Flash charges down the mid to pressure the 4th base because he knows : 1. Infestors don't have energy 2. All zerglings died and new ones are still hatching. Perfect decision making, perfect sieges,perfect moves - Flash. Thats why he won the game not because somebody gave it to him ( the 2nd game i mean ).

Leenock is so strong, will take his 3rd championship!
Although the Flash hype is strong at the moment, i also think that Leenock is gonna win it all. Hoping for Flash, though, but i like Leenock also... Life seemed really nervous vs Flash, could happen to Leenock also. It's something different to play vs him. ^^
Biggest issue right here. It's like being a collegiate basketball player and having to face Michael Jordan in his 40s. Even though he might not be top strength, that aura makes you shit your pants.
I missed the first game of Flash v Life to watch Rain v Bomber, Bomber's TvP is seriously fucking good. Some ridiculously smart play on both maps. He deserves to be where he is in the tournament.

Yes, Flash's defence in game two wasn't absolutely outstanding, neither was his control.
Aye Life just threw the games, Flash didn't contribute anything. Sigh.
look at how much multitasking was in these games. That's the reason they made more mistakes than in bl/infestor no rush games

Yeah, I think it's the end of the line for Bomber, but to be sure, he put on a reallllllly good show. TvP still top-notch.

Tell that to the commissioner.
because that would ruin the final. everyone complains about the final. They are sacrificing the semi-finals for the sake of the finals.
Or they can choose to not sacrifice either by choosing a better format.

More like 60k, while half of them watch both screens.
stream 1 has 72k. Also, we have own3d viewers, who don't show the numbers. Also we have a french stream. I guess not everyone who watches second stream, watches both.
ah, thx. so, we had (rounded numbers): 70k twitch red 5k own3d red 5k french = 80 k viewers + a couple of the 20k stream blue watchers that don't watch both.

Still less than LoL :p
Who cares? Stop this whiny conmparing all the time
Sponsors care. ;(
Yeah, they do. They multiply the numbers LoL gets by 0.25 as LoL players are cheap and/or poor and can't pay for games let alone gaming accessories. They are also young and fleeting and you can't expect any brand loyality from them.
Meanwhile all the SC2 guys have adblock.
(Yes I'm killing e-sports, but I just hate the commercials )

It's not about the money lol (unlike most SC2 pros Rain actually gets a salary). There's also this thing called exposure... and Rain did great imo. Making himself known more in the west.
