Telling it a few days on beforehand ain't the same as 15 mins on beforehand.
I think they are asking bomber' opinion, just a guess tho.
I guess, just would be a shame to knock such a monster out via dq. Surely they could postpone it until after the scarlett/strelok and life matches to give him a bit of time.

Rescheduled! \o/
Yeah I'm sure they wouldn't want to fuck up the tourney with a semifinal walkover. This is the correct decision even though it might not be "by the book". Bomber is probably practicing anyway so it's not like he necessarily loses out on anything.

Any extra time for Bomber to practice his TvZ is good time. I don't mind this decision at all.

So, it seems like we're gonna have Bomber vs the guy from the other side of the bracket[most likely Life].

Read above, match was postponed, date TBD
I'm listening to russian stream, as in event admin.
Hyun is in China, and because of it he's having problem to get to a PC bang to play in the tourney.
Add: Apparently, there're no PC-bangs working after 6 PM anywhere close to his hotel. He can only show up at Monday(something like early in the morning in the morning) and admins don't want to prolong the tournament more.

Also pretty weird that he doesn't at least bring a laptop for backup, he can then try to hook it up in his hotel. But idk about the whole internet/pc situation in China ^^
Wow Scarlett, what a throw. This game is perfect for a "how to lose 6 base zerg against 2 base terran" guide. Why would you switch to broodlords when you have bases spread all over the map?

Life's ZvZ has always included a loooot of early pools because he had superior ling micro to just about everyone. Now people have caught up to his micro

Yeah but this allin is soooooooooo late june. You gotta live with your time! (seriously tho, it now seems that about every Zerg player has now learnt how to repell this BO coming from Hatch first.)

Yeah, there was a short period of time, where these 10-pool Banebusts were kinda successful, but not anymore - especially because you'll never get the Hatch down and I think the opponent is almost always ahead :-/ But whatever, Life is known for his early aggression.
Old tweet.. organizer posted they will reschedule after that tweet. No news after that except the guy from ukraine (following the russian stream) saying it is a forfeit loss.

Oh nice. I got confused with the chronology there.

He was insanely good in ZvZ once, but he's really bad in the current metagame :-/
His strength in ZvZ was built on the fact that he could early pool or attack at any time and win with his mechanics and micro. 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.

I think he got better again lately. 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
Losing to Soulkey in ZvZ is... okay, I think. But the WCG games prove my point: He's better again in ZvT/P, but ZvZ is a problem :-P
Haha Life you could have just flew in with all your GGlords and snipe 2 or 3 Hatcheries before Scarlett could have had a chance to react...instead he pulled back ^ _ ^

more like it is 2013 and pro gamers still try to do everything without thinking, including movement only through a-move. Same reason why you see pro gamers forget essential upgrades. Game is to fast no time to think .
Nice play from Life, to bad 70% of the current maps make it hard to abuse swarmhosts like this. Unless you find the ovi drop button.
Life played that quite well, imo. It's insanely hard to play against this style, but he abused the immobility really well and preventing Scarlett from taking a 4th is definitely not too easy.
