In light of Life losing to Sjow, that was pretty unsurprising. Wouldn't be unexpected for Life to go out in last place this group. Not that Sjow is bad, but you probably shouldn't be dropping Bo3s to foreigners if you want to be considered a top-level player.
Come on, all players have off days. You don't suddenly stop being a top player because you haven't played well over the last 2-3 weeks.

Oh shit mang, you just figured out late game ZvT. Email Soulkey, Life, and RorO.

He lost his armies several times when he pushed out lol. A lone baneling rolled into his army when he tried to push into lifes 4th.

I think he thought it was a nice counter to hellbat drops (which it was) but he was going to do that kind of shit anyway. Also its not like the early game lost him the game, he got behind later on when he couldn't break the base and wouldn't transition out of mutas.
No, you should watch more of life's games, he doesn't rush for mutas and completely sacs econ, he stays on ling/bling quite a while. Like I said he decided to not do roaches against hellbats and go quick lair, since going for roaches doesn't seem to work to well either for him on Dreamhack vs both uThermal&Sjow.

20+ mutas is actually the correct way to play.

Pretty bad idea, that means detection isn't even necessary against mines if you have enough shit nearby.

when is the fucking hellbat nerf live this is so painful to watch Fantasy's hellbat drops did virtually nothing this game....... Tsubbi always cries every time a Zerg playes. Nothing but informed tears from that guy. 10workers killed, spines forced, some zerglings killed, spire rush scouted... Those drops broke more than even. God beware Zerg has to actually do something instead of only droning now. Jesus. If you hate hellbat drops so much, you can hit him so hard with a queen defence and good roach/bane. Hellbat players don't have tons of defence at home and hellbats don't defend roach/bane that well to be honest. Depends on the game and timing, but when you cannot hit Zergs economy while the bust occurs, you might lose right there. "Lots" of queens are also very good against hellbats in the defence, as they can shoot down the medivac pretty quick. Also, seems like mines were more problematic to Life.
Did I say I'm for nerfing them or something like that. But putting it like "hellbats aren't worth it unless you kill 923783589287 workers" is simply bullshit. Of course they could do more. They could win the game straight up. But Fantasy was surely not in a bad spot after the drops.

Than people should just say that. Saying 0 damage when a zerg loses 10 drones and a lot of lost lings on a two base economy is just weird.

I don't really see that... The locust upgrade enforces a dynamic where the zerg can be miles away before you get hit while one acts like a deterrent.

Yeah cause Roro has been playing so great overall lately and you are seriously implying that Soulkey isnt winning vs Terran in lategame? Christ man

I've seen people use them pretty well against marine/medivac. You just need static defense as well and you've still got the 12 mutas to kill drops.

Life is WAAAAY too overaggressive....... Well, is there a Zerg who wins against Terran lategame? I haven't seen one for quite a while. Which is the reason why everyone plays as aggressive as they do. It's Roach/Bane bust or lose. TvZ is approaching 70% this season for Terran. In PL it's over 60% the last 3 rounds, and this with all the early busts. Lots of wins from Innovation and Flash though. So we're back to the "the top Terrans are just better players" argument like back in early WoL? No. I'm saying if you cut out Innovation and Flash (and you can see their matches, I would argue they have indeed faced off against 'inferior' players in their ZvT matches. vs SoulKey for example its 1-1) and when you take away those games, you won't be at nearly 60% ..
And what's Soulkey's record against Innovation in macro games? How many Zergs have won a macro game against Terran lately in PL or WCS Korea?

I've been watching Life play since he was on Zenex. He used to be a cheesy piece of shit. Hes refined his aggro style a lot, but he has always preferred an aggressive style over econ. Come on man, hes famous for 10 pooling people.
