EPTSymbol is great in prepared matches, but I feel like Life can out-muscle him. RorO just seems like a weaker opponent than Life. Soulkey should stop meeting Life in the Ro16 so we can see Life ascend.

The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained. | ||

Intelligent, aggressive, possessing impeccable unit control and flawless mechanics (And of course a master of turning 0-3 to 4-3. He is Jaedong 2.0 What if Life is actually a clone of Jaedong from the future that has been sent into the past to dominate SC2. | ||

Its the same thing over and over from arm chair game designers and its really dumb. Blizzard did change/nerf "micro stopping abilities" to one of the most commonly complained about ability: Fungal Growth. Instead of being instant, it can be dodged now (it's a projectile) and the masses cheered! Slows aren't too "unmicroable" compared to something like Fungal growth. Also about the BW debate, nearly every slow or stun ability were rarely used. (Also Dark Archons were good with Maelstrom but it was an issue of risk/reward because going DA against Mutalisk instead of just staying Corsairs was risky.) (Also due to lack of smart cast in BW, things like using Ghost for lockdown (which was rarely used anyway) was actually hard to do because you had to click each one of them separately to cast it on one mech unit separately.) Here's why projectile Fungal is a huge change, it can be dodged... like this Arbiter dodging two Science Vessels' EMP like a boss. + Show Spoiler + A lot of complaints about SC2 are valid. Most of them from WoL did get fixed in HotS due to feedback (most of the new units, besides Tempest, were intentionally designed not to add to the deathball which is one of the most complained about things in SC2). I agree though, the way Blizzard has done HotS is really good considering they stuck true to most of the things they defend (I like the fewer resources per base idea but it is a huge drastic change to SC2, the way HotS is done is that most things aren't changed too much while reducing the issues WoL had like how most of the time it was just max to 200/200[especially in any match up involving Protoss that wasn't PvP], then one fight, then game over).

He can easily beat Last in Ro8 His real competition is Bomber/MC and then one of Parting/Flash/Rain/Innovation. Entirely doable, although the final challenge seems to be the ultimate test | ||

Symbol won't be worth a kopeck in HotS compared to Life. Mark my words. | ||

I like Symbol a lot (and also hate Roro more than anything else on earth), but I don't think there is a good argument for Roro/Symbol > Life, except that they both made the finals in a tournament where Life didn't. | ||

Do you honestly believe that these underaged progamers don't play SC2 past midnight in Korea? Its just a matter of using an adult's account. You think they can't find someone above the minimum age to register a game for them to practice at night? When progaming is their job? | ||

I predict Last would at least put up a good fight against Life if Life does beat Polt. | ||

He might be sleepy, but it's not like he is playing below his regular level. Wish Polt would stop doing the proxy reaper build now. | ||
