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.

I think the finals wasn't quite what Innovation vs Life could have been.
The fact that Leenock fell to him 3-0 shows that there is something strong with Innovation's TvZ

By the way, comparing Flash's 2rax in the middle of the map cheese to Life's baneling bust "cheese" is ridiculous, Life's attack was off 3 bases/drones and really early 1-1 upgrades and over 50 drones, he'd need to lose everything without dealing any damage for him to be out of the game. It's just a pressure build.


oh my... why do people with so little knowledge always feel like they have to share their opinion

What's wrong with it? Actually it was 65 drones and 1-1 at 11 minutes that he had in game 5. In addition he was ready for Hive at 16:30 and also was at 170 supply of mutalingbane at 16:30 despite losing a ton of units.

I didn't expect Flash to win in TvZ. Flash showed off in TvP and TvT and was brilliant. When playing with Life he looked a worse player.
I don't think it is good to speculate whether Bogus or Last would be a better opponent. But Bogus is better at TvZ for sure.

This MLG showed immense progress of many players but old SC2 legends were not among them, which pretty clearly defines the tendency. I hope we shall see more entertaining matches in the future. This is just the beginning.

I still don't get the idea of leaving siege tanks completely ot of scope. Only game 2(?) on Neo Planet S was really a game worht of a story, the other ones were kind of one-sided or happened to be won by one clean sweep (such as those 1-2 baneling speed timings that Flash just couldn't stand).

For the most part Life won with WoL strategies and units despite Terran and Protoss have seemingly stronger new units to compliment their play. He showed why Zerg (at the top levels of play -- and that is what we are concerned with) need no buff or nerf.

He did play like Mozart though - and that is outside the scope of 99.8% of SC2 players.

Wasn't quite the finals I expected but ok I guess.

Don't understand Flash sticking to the bio style when Life just pretty much steamrolls over bio with lings/banelings, then adding mutas.

I was expecting adjustments from Flash with tanks.

Gz to Life, well deserved win!

wow can't believe Life won.. this tournament is one of the most stacked i've ever seen

amazing work MLG, all casters were great, especially enjoyed Totalbiscuit + Incontrol, but everyone was great.

Life showed he has the best control of all Zergs out there. Really stellar play by this 16 year old. His status as best player has to be surely cemented by now. He has won so much and defeated so many great players in such a short time.

I'm actually curious as to who is gonna dethrone this monster!

No Doubt, huge parallels between this MLG and the first GSL

1) huge amount of zerg complaints

2) no other zerg can beat ...anyone

3_ zerg visionary comes in and shows us that zerg is ok



I just Hope Life doesnt go and play LoL!!!


2) umm???? WTF?! Hyun didnt beat Polt in IPL Fight club? Nerchio and Slivko didn't beat Lucifron? Violet didn't beat Sting? Ret didn't beat Kas and Sting? Killer didn't beat Thorzain?

Get out of here with that stuff man. There is virtually no empirical evidence that suggests z is struggling vs t, except blind cries and foreigners losing to koreans.

i love your examples

As a side note, was anyone concerned with the fact that we really saw nothing new from Zerg? We saw a ton of Mothership Core + Oracle as well as Hellbats + Widow Mines + Medivac boosts, but we saw a little bit of the Viper and really none of the Swarm Host (to my recollection). The only difference I noticed was that we saw more Hydra Roach, since Hydras get that speed upgrade now. Granted, I didn't watch everything this weekend, but still.


I don't disagree, but there were at least two games with heavy swarm host use. Life used them agaist Last when he was meching on Whirlwind close positions (didn't work because of good positioning by Last). There was another game earlier where a Zerg was sieging up the Terrans third on Daybreak and won but I don't remember what match that was.
