Noooooo. Then again he seems to be in every tournament ever, there's bound to be clashes/scheduling issues at some point.

When people caught up with their ling micro Life's stellar ZvZ started to weaken. I don't think it's the metagame so much as the world catching up to him. | ||

Well, that's possible too - but he was never really good with Roach/Hydra/Infestor stuff (I remember tons of games where he just lost tons of Infestors by missrallying them into the opponents army). I think during the time of the Mutalisk wars, he played quite well.

His matches against MMA were decent, against Jjakji as well. Just the ZvZ is still a problem. | ||

The real reason Life was so good at ZvZ was because he combined great mechanics with having a superior understanding of mutalisk function and transition in the midgame. The latter became less and less important after the summer of 2012 and post-spore crawler buff there is no point to it anymore. His ling micro is extremely good but it was never his primary strength in the early game, which was decision-making and positioning. | ||

I'm curious how his WCG games looked. He went 2-0 vs  Splendid, 2-1 vs  TurN, and then lost 0-2 to  Soulkey | ||
