Only in the GGGSL At the time, the statistics kinda favored Life and Flash.... You think voting for Life was an unfounded in statistics? You must be joking... 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.
I didn't see this :\ Just by looking at this and playing back his past 10 or so games in my head, I knew he wouldn't get out.

When you couple with the fact that its Ghost vs HT, Feedback/EMP battle, yes it is exciting.

Being able to warp in units at any pylon means that, by necessity, our basic units need to be relatively weak. To compensate for them being weak, our power units(voids, colossi, tempests, templars) need to be very strong. Because we rely on our power units, we flat out die to any sort of early pressure or all in given how much better hydras/roaches/MMM/mass lings are, so we need a method of holding enemies at bay while we tech, namely force fields and now photon overcharge.
Chargelots are probably the only real exception, but that's only if we have a significant upgrade advantage. Otherwise, they just kind of die while running in.

GSL and WCS should adopt a Bo5 system. Life would never lose.

So true... all life did was mass lings on 1/2 bases throughout that series. Damn fuckin right he deserved to loose.

He was on the A-Team long enough to be considered very mediocre. Wasn't Mvp woongjin terran???? wtf Yeah, that's why Woongjin Terrans are best Terrans in sc2. yeah. I mean he took a game off flash!!!!!!! IN BW!!!! you forgot WITH BATTLECRUISERS!!

I agree, he did deserve to lose. I wasn't happy with his strategies in those final matches at all. He did NOT need to do that to win. He is a better player than parting and threw those games away.

Parting has WCS
Life is clearly the more consistent player. Parting advanced today and good for him, but let's not kid ourselves here.

Everything you say is correct. Parting played very good against Life. And i agree that people see Protoss in the way you just explain. Atleast i do anyway. But i simply think that Protoss is badly designed race, and it find it incredibly boring to watch compared to Terran or Zerg.
