Just like banelings? Both banelings and widow mines force micro.
When the tier 1 Korean tried to fight 3-3 marines with mutas head on?

sjow didn't even damaged life's economy with hellbat and there is no hellbat in his composition in game 3.......... don't know what you're talking about

Lol @ this comment. Easy to say that after the upset happened.
I've been saying it all tournament long actually... His ZvT and ZvZ was bad.
Can you quote a comment of you saying this? (before the game obviously)

So absolutely epic.
Best HOTS moment so far, for sure...
the emotional swings, life agasint the ropes, not giving up, sjow backing up only to get cornered in his own base, both players scrambling, lots of micro with little misaktes, and the magic of 4 mines with 40+ kills combined lined up in the reinforcing path of the zerg... and the foreigner korean dichotomy ... holy shit

Our European/Non-Korean hope. GoGo!
Innovation is the best atm...
Yeah, you're right. But he won probably vs the second best player and for sure the best Zerg.
I think Sjow should give credit to the author of the strategy he followed like a cookbook, INnoVation. Life played mediocre at best, didn't adapt and got caught by surprise with such TvZ style from a random foreigner. GG though.

Sorry about the inconvenient truth.
1. SC2 has never been at a better state of balance . 2. It was freaking Life vs a random foreign terran.
Sorry for the truth but your so-called "inconvenient truth" is has nothing to do with truth. That's the truth.
