Would you be happier if he had flawless macro but lost from donating an army?
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.
So apparently both his macro and micro were awful? Why can't people just enjoy a good back and forth game without whining about a number at the top right?
I did enjoy the game. I just think people arguing that fantasy did anything special aren't watching the same game I watched. I don't think life played well either for that matter.

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.
Well, an off-day is an off-day. A month of underwhelming play is a slump, and to me when someone's slumping it means that they're not currently a top-level player. Life hasn't really impressed me much since he beat Flash at MLG a while ago. He got eliminated in the Ro16 of Code S, dropped 2 Bo3s to foreigners at DH Summer, and also got pretty convincingly beaten by Ryung recently in the GSTL. He hasn't been terrible, but he certainly hasn't been performing up to his reputation.
yeah. Life's gameplay has been pretty bad lately. I think last season his games were still good. But his ZvT style is really questionable right now and his ZvZ has never been overly strong. I guess his ZvP is still solid, but not topnotch either...
Life became recognised because of his ZvZ in the ksl I think it was. The league with orb casting.

As long as the balance whine is to favor a player with huge fan base in TL, it doesn't count. TL is a business, not public service trying to protect justice.

My guess is you can get around 4-5 hours of work before WCS EU, so don't worry. :D

It's because Life's aggressive style gets perfectly countered by the terran's new tools.
