I hope I'll be able to update it, probably will watch most of it, but in case I can't do all of it there's a Liquipedia link!
Anyone know if Nathanias will still cast this? He should be going to Sweden pretty soon, shouldn't he?
In any case, thanks a lot to ToD for the RSL shoutout on State of the Game! <3
Life fighting!
Also, don't count out LoWeLy, he might find a way to get through this group, somehow he's destined to get 3rd place in RSL no matter who his opponents are.
In the last two editions he managed to place third both times and beat players like MaNa, ThorZaIN, GuMiho, NaNiwa, Oz, VortiX and MMA in Best of Fives to do so.

1% chance of Life losing.
That is fucking incredible.

How is Life going to play in this on Thursday night in Korea, when he's supposed to play at Dreamhack on Friday in Sweden? Is he going straight from the airport to the venue to play his games?

Don't be surprised if Life 6 pools. He has to go to the airport in the morning, and this starts at 12 am in Korea.

Except for the Iron Squid 2 Korean qualifier finals when he rushed all day long and lost 1-4 to Brown because he had to get to bed. :D

so life is gonna play? no forfeit cuz of dreamhack?

It would suck if Life underperformed because he has to get on a plane soon. Life fighting!

I think he was on +2, at least +1 though.
I never get how LoWeLy wins or loses games, it's all so weird with him.

that was painful to watch
|
He's going to kick himself for not taking a fifth earlier and not getting any air upgrades.
|
Austria24422 Posts
HerO doesn't lose games like this, ever. No idea why but people have a tendency to play poor lategame against him.
|
I don't understand why Lowely built 30 corruptors (which are 100% countered by void rays and storms) instead of 30 mutalisks.
Also why the hell didn't he take the whole map when he was 80 supply ahead. He stayed forever on 4 bases while HerO couldn't get out of his third base.
|
Not saying it would matter in the big battle but Zerg players really need to start spreading their corruptors. Stephano is like the only foreign zerg who spreads his corruptors when engaging late game armies.

RSL Guillotine... For some reason this map sounds intensely awesome to me.

|
Back in beta and early HotS all Protoss players were going Skytoss against Zerg, then it seemed to fall out of fashion for a bit in favor of more ground compositions with Void Ray support, and now it looks like everyone is going full Skytoss again.
|
I'm already kinda fed up with skytoss again.

Why would you see the army coming, engage and then turn around to get forcefielded. Either you can take it or you can't and if you can't then you don't fight.

Wow, Lowely actually gets the best build order matchup he could hope for

4 DTs kill third, morph overseers at natural and send your whole army to HerO's base.

Commanded to bust a move while surrounded by lings. The hard life of a zealot.

Life has grown tired of this map. imagine if you put a planetary at that natural though, would be so hard to break. but you'd be crippling yourself really bad of course.

He did make 4 Drones before he made Lings.

That'd be me.
I didn't see cause I'm at work but here is the proper wall off for terran
+ Show Spoiler +

Had an idea for an unusual layout and wanted to try it out. Then I got sucked in by the new HotS assets. The defining feature of this map is of course the natural expansion, which is an in-base expansion where your Town Hall can be used to help wall off a double-wide main ramp.
Well, the important thing is that was intentional.

Well with the way HerO played against Lowely, Life should have no problem getting a 2-0 here.

I also expect another quick 2-0 for life!

If you put a PF at the natural there will have to be some way to compensate for the economic hit that implies. But also the main and natural aren't separated by a ramp, which makes things perhaps even more difficult...

He should abduct the Sentries to troll HerO.

HerO should be embarrassed, he lost to a diamond player.

Austria24422 Posts
What worked against HerO is the 7 zealots he walked into Life's natural when roaches had just spawned, coupled with the third being cancelled in exchange for a 3 voidray attack on Life's third that was defended without any trouble, the third being cancelled again and his army dying.
Also wooooow, cannon rush
|
Always on Bel'Shir. Damn cannons.
At least a hatch block, that's something different.
|
I wonder why he didn't do it against LoWeLy. He had the probe there for a while as if he was thinking of it.

Wow, Life still manages to end up ahead after "losing" two hatches from cannons and using one to block P expo.

Lowely failed an early pool, he was far behind from there on anyway.

Even though qxc is winning, his play is not up to par. His macro is seriously lacking behind his push; he was floating 1k/1k during his siege tank push.
|
Damn, that equaled things out a bit, didn't it?
Lowely's refusal to take more than four bases hurts him so much in these games today.

Always when a fight is happening i feel like a drill sergeant is shouting in my face... o.O
