Probably the least climactic ending to this series possible - a horrible game where Parting just basically has no real plan and dies slowly. Everytime he needed to commit to something he didn't and in the end he just loses to superior tech and economy while backpedaling away from attacks. I feel the frustrations of Protoss right now as I feel Parting did everything he could in several games but it's just enough against someone as complete and good at defending as Life. HotS couldn't get here any sooner because I'm thoroughly bored with this meta-game - it's awful. Grats to Life though, truly a great Zerg!

The level of play was excellent. Much as I bitch about balance, it's not to say that Life or Parting or Sniper are not incredibly skilled. The game simply rewards Zerg skill more right now, and I hate it.

Word man, extremely well said.

Gratz Life, sad for parting, not a worthy successor to DRG v MMA.

DRG Vs. MMA was a TvZ....

A protoss match up didn't stand a chance.


TvP over PvZ any day though.

Glad to hear Life won, I am surprised he lost games though, Parting isn't fit to wash his dishes.

with zerg.


yes zerg is the issue, its not the issue that parting wasnt mining with 26 probes against 8 in the fourth game or he that he led his carriers die for free or that he led his like 5 of his archons die carelessly to spine crawlers! No, it was just ZERG! yep.

Without Korean toss and terran flying around the globe, zerg will also win all the foreign tournaments.


I think some TSL guy even wants to move to America because of it. Not quite sure who though.

Parting is the winner in my heart. He played better in my opinion, but Life is Zerg. :/ That is all. Gratz to Life!

I feel bad for Parting but sc2 needs consistent GSL champions to keep people interested. Just like how finals with Mvp are the most hyped, now in the future finals with Life will be the same.

Maybe next time, soultoss.

Versus the current version of TvZ, I'd say even PvP is better. Maybe the raven "buff"+infestor slight nerf has changed things, but well..

It was a real TvZ. If we had a TvZ this year it wouldn't be that great and it also would be a miracle.
