HELP! I missed everything! Is there any free vod (on twitch for instance) or any rebroadcast? Otherwise missing THE group of death will kill me.

Every time that Life's knocked out of the RO 16, it has been to a KeSPA player.
Funny thing is that his winner interview after GSL 2012 Season 4, he said that he wasn't sure about being the champion next season due to the increase in KeSPA players.

KeSPA players so good. Life suddenly not so attractive for a KeSPA pick up
Players worse than Life got picked up so it doesn't matter. KeSPA isn't EG. Life is still young and has a lot of potential. Give him the right training environment (KeSPA) and he will become more of a beast than he already is.

Meh, it isn't very impressive to me because I see it done all the time by protosses to the point it's as impressive as a terran dropping a base. I was more impressed by his sim city that allowed him to hold that ling rush.

So much Protoss hate always in LR threads :<
Still, best day ever. I guess that's because Protoss is a gimmicky race. It is a bit like when players cheese their way through a tournament. A win is a win, but Forcefield is widely regarded as the most hated and broken ability in the game, and any game that is decided by Forcefields are gonna get a lot of hate. wrong.warpgate mechanic is the most broken ability in the game when it comes to bad game design and protoss in general. forcefield was something that was bitched about when MC was raping JulyZerg waaaaaaay back in the day, since then we came a long way, and most of the people realize the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the spell in question here, and the implications that we'd have by removing it. en tardo adun, whiner How exactly is it whine to think that a spell that completely neglects micro is a boring spell? I am fairly certain that i am not the only one who believes that there is some inherent flaws in the design of the Protoss race.
Having your ramp FF'ed as a zerg is the single most annoying thing in any RTS game without a shred of doubt.

I wonder what sort of interview PartinG will give. Cocky "I told you I could beat him", or modest "he was better than I thought I got lucky". Could go either way really. Parting cockiness turns me off alot (he's on skt so its difficult) but I tell you what, he backs it up with great play and shows alot of heart and passion for starcraft. Gotta respect that (Y) The "super imba gg" thing at MLG did more to turn me off than his cockiness, but fuck if he isn't good. I think he ate Bisu's power. Wait he was the super imba gg guy??? What a douchnozzle! That makes it even worse lol I get the feeling he relishes being the "villain" of GSL. Makes for an interesting storyline if nothing else. Yeah I see no reason in not wanting a villain. If PartinG wasnt acting like this, we'd just turn someone into a villain, like we did with Sniper Who? Idk. I'm sure someone would dig something random up and then we'd blow it out of proportion and turn them into a villain. we had Shine going for a while but he's out now so no luck there
Sorry, I meant: Who is Sniper?

Flash maybe but Life was a very smart vote it just didn't work out for him today. I wanted Innovation/Life to get out the moment I saw the liquibet; but spending 5 minutes on liquipedia and having each players' match history open on a tab, I had Innovation 2-0 and Flash 0-2. PartinG and Life was the brainfuck - the gamble was the first series. I expected PartinG to win that. You're right, though. Life kinda dropped the ball today.
Like I said... at the time, Flash was statistically favored to win.

Probably very biased. The hatred people have towards the existence of forcefields makes them believe they're trivial. There's definitely a lot of skill to it. Ever notice why Huk gets owned in embarassing fashion every time he tries to do that immortal sentry push? His FFs suck.

See whats wrong with Forcefields isnt the skill..
its that its not exciting..
EMP? EXCITING
New Fungal? OMG THEY GOT HIM! Exciting.
Storm? Aoe, damage effect. EXCITING!
Seeker Missile? EXCITING!
Force Fields? Trapping units and crowd control. zzz.

Shy and Bogus has like the highest chance to win this GSL.
|
I can't believe there are so many people undermining Partings skills. Before coming into this group I underestimated him and expected him to be 0-4'd out, but that comeback on Game 1 vs Flash made me a believer. Sure he probably should have lost that map, but that templar control was another level. He 100% deserves to make it out of this group.
I hope he does make it to the finals, but I hope Innovation wins GSL. Truly think Innovation is the best player in the world ATM.

I agree, Parting's forcefields are 'impressive' but they arent as impressive as say Innovations hellion control.
They are just cool to see (like vintage MC forcefields)
