Whoa now, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Remember TSL3?

CrunCher over Idra
Thorzain over Fruitdealer
Adelscott over MVP
Goody over Nestea
Kas over Nada
Thorzain over MC

That tournament was the best ever in my opinion, and it was full of upsets.

Thorzain over MC maybe is a bigger upset.

It´s funny how important stories are for Sc2 Games. I mean I watch Fanta vs Flash from last week and I´m like: Wow cool game, great play, cool mines...
Then I watch Sjow vs Life: WTFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!! so great, and my heart is pumping like crazy...

life lost to shift queued drops lol

He hardly lost to them, he lost to everything except those drops. The only drop that actually did dmg was the hellion one(except for obviously the indirect dmg)

The only thing I don't like about upsets like this are that they just make me feel that my favorite players aren't nearly as good as I thought they were... as an idealist I need perfect heroes.
Also, maybe Life is following DRG's path to make way for BW zergs.

Those 3-4 mines burrowed exactly where Life's rally was won him that game. That cut the reinforcements significantly and Life couldn't seal the deal. But great game, I was so hyped at the end.

Now I'll have to cheer for Jaedong. I don't even like Jaedong.

this. each of those mines had 15 - 20 kills on them. ~70 lings, banes and maybe some mutas.

Lol I don't know what to do. I never thought it had the slightest possibility of happening. I hope you guys won't hold me to that :''''(

Hmm, someone broke his promise, maybe a little time-out is in order.

Casuals around here are loving the European doing well at a European tournament story. Also loving the crowd reaction. Oh well, the Sjow must go on...

If loving this story makes me a casual then so fucking be it.

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.

Pretty sure the closest SC2 has ever been to balanced match winrates was actually right before 4.3.2 went live

wow the shitting over sjow already started. he played really well, yeah he had 2k minerals floating but in such high pressure situations you can forget such simple tasks like adding additional production facilities. SjoW SjoWed (r) some really really good splits and some good unit control and it werent the widow mine hits that killed Life. SjoW played great.
