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.

To be honest Flash was pretty tired towards the end there. Life is much younger and has higher stamina.

This is not a good excuse when Flash is at peak age(20-30) of men. if Flash was tired then Life was too.

Its funny, so much of terran balanced was based around how well MVP could play during the height of his dominance. Meanwhile every other terran in the world at the time was struggling hardcore. It would be ironic if zerg balance revolved around Life in HOTS. One thing is for certain, no zerg matchup overhaul is likely to happen for at least a few more week after life smashed through that stacked mlg!

Zerg is fine even without Life.

widows mines are just a terrible unit

they could have nerfed the warhounds to counter zerg dominance , my estimation.

Life is just above the melee. Zerg weaker, still here. He is the sc2 bonwja.

I'm just sad that SC2 now has such element of pure randomness which is the mines. Randomness is bad. More skill-based gameplay please. Things that you as a player personally control and determine if they were played well. Not this lottery.

Great tournament had a lot of fun watching it. Especially Flash vs Bogus was insanely entertaining. Can't wait for the next one :3

Really great tournament from MLG. A ton of awesome games.

Flash is getting quite good at sc2, good to see. Parting is looking kind of dumb with his imba comments after seeing MC. Life is still the benchmark

little bit dissapointing finals. Frankly Polt's and Last's TvZ looked stronger than Flash's.

Nonetheless I enjoyed this MLG very much

Bogus's TvZ too. Was insanely good.
This MLG is kinda an Life+TvT story : JJ won MKP (only to loose vs Rain ), Flash won Bogus, Life won Polt, and then Life had the title. Because yeah i only see mkp/bogus/polt capable of wining vs Life :p

Btw, now zergs whiners can stfu and l2p.

But yeah very good MLG. Maybe something to do with the terran insane line-up :D

I'm not sure at this time if I hate Life more for beating Flash or hate Last even more, not only for knocking Flash out of the OSL, but also not beating Life. God damnit Last! *is angry*

Don't be a sore loser
Zerg was incredibly OP for a whole year in WoL, but in HotS, they are far from it.
Give credit to Life

Could be the case that they played almost only with Hots Units besides the mines

There is much more to come with the new untis and strats

Also Life's been at this for a much shorter period of time, he might not be as used to this intensity as much as Flash who's been a progamer, but then again Flash didn't really play in many LAN events up until recently (as OSL and MSL tournaments play more sporadically).

Might have changed, but I'm pretty sure they don't release replays.

Why didn't Life loose about 300 lings and 30 mutas to those Mines towards the end of the last game? He just ran in a big cluster over like 5 of them. Looked buggy to me.

It has an activation time. The units passed by so fast that it went through its range and no particular unit triggered it. Mines are really good and really powerful but they are not the end all unit that was made up to be. What needs to happen is some buffs to things that can stop speedvacs drops and the game would be in a pretty good state of balance.

GGs! Years later I still don't know what to do about the 2/2 muta ling baneling timing (you can learn it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hKcxHk5-E).

Too bad Bomber lost in the RO8. Damn, I will give up my soul just to see him win something.

haha what?

I actually thought Life was the one that looked like he needed a long nap just after game 1. At that point I wouldn't have been surprised to see Flash win 4 straight with how exhausted Life looked. Guess I was wrong though!

If there is anything I could say Flash could have improved against Life, would be switching up his builds and transitioning into late-game. Bio/Widow Mine is good and all, but making it exclusive TvZ build just gets predictable, and Life knew this and reacted by doing anti-builds. Flash always banked tons of gas, and he could have invested it into Ravens which would have helped greatly against Mutas and the possible BL transition.
