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.

Flash you are going to have to play your best. DOn't lost to these gimmicks life is giving you. He is risk taking like hell and you should punish him for it.

I noticed life pulled out his smart phone, and I'm wondering, are those usually allowed in these booths? I mean, to be perfectly fair, vibration from phones and sorts can be seen as signals.

Not saying players should be patted down, but I think its more professional to establish some sort of rule for those kind of thigns.

IOW he won 1 GSL.

Blizzard Cup counts as a championship if MVP's GSL World Championship counts as one.

do you seriously think tanks deal better with mass ling/bling?
In all 3 busts, he never had his army near the point of assault. That killed him more than anything.

Mines are excellent if you have depth, some behind to hit the blob when they finally clump up.
You can't have them all up front.

The thing is that tanks have quite a few hit-points and killing them slows zerg down.
After mine fires it's free reign for quite a while.

Life is winning because he's the one player I see that can take control of the game away from Flash. Usually Flash dominates with his macro and controls the pace of the game. Life, with his aggression, is preventing that from happening.

Seriously though, no one can maintain a 100% winrate nor win every tournament, not even Flash. And let's not forget that Life is arguably the best Zerg at the moment.

People shouldn't be surprised of these quick games, when two super pro's clash they rarely have long epic games. Be happy with what you get, flawlessly executed builds and timings that cut throats before they can scream.

We should all still consider that we are just a few days after release and all those players had maybe 2 days between release and their flights to practice some builds. Of course these are not the most refined or brilliant strats. At this point it is to play to the win here and now and do what's nessecary. Both have been showing their skills in that series, but it's not just about SC2 skills, it's about mind games and picking the right strategies in the right game now.

Flash really isn't getting anything done with his hellions ... if he's going to play greedy why not pump out widow mines for safety?

I can't understand how some people find this series interesting...the quarters/semis were much better. All i saw is all-ins.
