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.

Besides Leenock and Life, are there any Zerg players that would have been expected to really win even in WoL in this tournament?


Exactly. Terran is doing well, Protoss is doing OK, and Zerg is struggling.

The tournament had 9 Korean Terrans, 6 Korean Protoss, and 2 Korean Zergs.

This is not a coincidence, and the only race that is imba is Korea


Eh, don't want to go into balance talk, but it was like that for a reason. IIRC, 0 Korean Zergs qualified and LIfe/Leenock were seeded in.

But the qualifiers were during the Hellbat drop week which Blizzard patched pretty darn fast once everyone brought it to their attention. I saw games that were literally won off the first 4 hellbats + medivac.



one change does not invalidate all those games, it's not like every game was a hellbat drop come on now.


You must not have watched those games



Actually I did watch a few .

Pointless to keep arguing though, let's see if life can beat a mid-tier korean terran.




Mid tier?

Polt has been the most consistent top level Korean pro outside of MVP for the entirety of SC2. He always shows up, always puts up good results and somehow ALWAYS keeps improving.

You cannot call him mid tier, he's way better than that.

Though i love polt learned a bit from the Grandmaster Flash and kept on re applying pressure to take out expansions.. Needless harassment cost Polt many units in the beginning. they were well guarded and Polt's upgrades were not sufficient enough to take out the expanded bases in a quick manner with 10-20 marines.

Plus, Harassment is always nice to take out bases, but it might be wiser to take out the workers first. slowing the eco is vital to winning SC

Classic K[9]. This cast has been awesome.

You can blame Bomber and Thorzain for MLG running this long. Particularly Thorzain


It's always Thorzain's fault lol.

Tournaments should plan ahead when they know Thorzain is attending.

but that was the blue stream. as was the bomber/goswer game that was even longer haha

I don't know who I want to win, On the one hand if Life wins we get more TvZ which is awesome but if Polt wins then TvT which I adore. I already like both players so that doesn't help either. Please just let the last game be epic and not a cheese or fail by one side or the other.

Better than Roaches that take bonus damage and are way slower.

The delay here is whatever took Flash vs Ret 90 minutes to start

Life just chose the wrong composition for the map. Star Station is so big that you have to go ling/muta IMO. He could have split his forces to either expansion but then he would have no aggressive potential.

Polt really capitalized on the map and the Zerg composition, as he should have, to seal the game.

Roaches are like the Zerg's primary ground-based answer to siege tanks
