Soulkey has finally found the meaning of life. Seriously though, what in the world just happened?

This is, I guess, the price to pay for the simple and clean format of GSL "groups". If there is one guy you can't beat and you draw him for the first match, you can be pretty much crewed. As we saw in MLG, Life vs. Leenock was a pretty much even game, so if he got to play him, it could have been very different.

Anyway, as someone who doesn't like the current zerg trend very much, I should be happy that Life is out and the other races do stand a chance now

I wouldn't be surprised if Leenock wins this GSL now.

Why, because good Kespa players winning SC2 games is bad?

fking goooood


Never liked Soulkey as much. Life is funny and shows awesome play. I don't see as much funny play from KeSPA players. And seeing all of StarTale die is just fucking sad for a fan like me.

Life played well, SK seemed to have an edge against him, while Leenock just straight outplayed SK, which is a big deal I think. Somebody has to be better one day or another.


Kespa players have to learn the game. You probably never saw Soulkey in bw because if you did you would know that sloukey had his very own entertaining style.


I did, and he wasn't as high as "in my heart" as Jaedong, Effort and Hyun. Even hyvaa was someone I liked. Oh, and we have that guy too...


Lol. My fondest memories of Soulkey back in the day were of him getting owned by Bisu. Ah... The days when I played protoss.


my favorite games of soulkey are without a doubt those games against fantasy on Dante's Peak and Neo Dante's Peak.

Literally cemented him as one of my favorite zergs of all time

So Soulkey got 2-0ed by Leenock but he 4-0ed Life.

But..But... Life 4-3ed Leenock at MLG ?! What in the world is happening ?!

I guess "If A>B and B>C, then A>C" doesn't apply in SC2 :D

This is why this rushed format isn't good. Certain players get rewarded for their gimmicky play while the good ZvZ players get punished for being better than said players. Life is definitely better than Leenock. It should've been Life and soulkey/symbol to make it out.

At the end of the day, good players should have preparation time, while not so good player can just grind on ZvZ's randomness and win games they shouldn't have. If Life would have made it out ZvZ would have some legitimate skill to it. And no I don't blame life for choosing soulkey nor do I blame soulkey for beating life. I blame leenock for not playing correctly.

Props to Soulkey is combat positioning is so good, once the rest of his skills catch up to that level he's going to be unstoppable.

Yes, good players lose because they are better, if only they had half a year to prepare for a bo3 then they would surely win.

He picked the player. He had a week to prepare. He failed to deliver. The end.

Then Life's MLG win is pure luck too, based on your logic. You have zero preparation time in MLG for series.

And Life didn't even face Leenock, he lost to the player he chose (and therefore was confident on beating) twice lol

You obviously never had the privilege to talk to Idra. I talked to him at an MLG like last year and he says that good players lose to players worse than them all the time. I believe his example was Inca vs Nada last year in GSL. My example is Leenock vs anybody he beats.

Playing correctly? What? Everyone at the top level have their own style. If it works for him (obviously does) then how is that not correct? He even got cheesed on antiga, and lost his hatch. And still managed to calmly get back with great decision making. Leenock is an amazing player, just cause he has interpreted SC2 in a different way doesn't mean it's wrong. The more styles the more fun matches we get to watch.
