Has anyone read an interview with Life post HoTS or something where he explains why he seems to struggle so much? he was looking like the next Bonjwa during the last days of WoL and won the first international major HoTS tournament...

HoTS changes a lot of strategies and Life's style is no longer strong. Not just Life, it happens to many of the top WoL players.

LR batman was still in his infancy, unprepared to face the true horrors of LR threads.

Had byun won that game he would have advanced along with Life because of the head-to-head tiebreakers. One game decided the fate of two spots in Code S. 2 ESF vs 2 Kespa.

You also can't throw away Life and Byun's wins. If they were all 2-2, surely the fairest system would be first to win 2 consecutive games.

If ByuN had won and soO wins his game ByuN and soO would have advanced. If ByuN had won and Bang as well, it would have been a 3 way tie between soO herO and Life since
soO > Life
herO > soO
Life > herO

soO won against the two players he tied with. Having to beat them a second time, when the other players only have to beat him once, isn't fair either.

i guess you are right, but i always thought players of that caliber were capable of adapting. i mean some kespa like players like Bogus could go directly from BW into HoTS and start dominating, changing your style from WoL to fit HoTS shouldnt be THAT hard for a top-tier player, especially in comparison to the BW>HoTS switch.

keyword is some - some kespa players transitioned well, some didn't. same for wol -> hots i guess. most transitioned pretty well, some didn't. and some of it is just natural cycle of falling off or whatever too.

Kespa didn't go directly from BW to HotS. They've been playing WoL since May of 2012.
Some of the players who did well in WoL aren't doing that well in HotS (RorO, herO, Flying, etc). Some players who did bad in WoL are doing well in HotS (Classic, Bisu, Trap, etc)

Life actually did go from WoL to HotS and dominate initially, he won MLG and qualified for the Asian Indoor Tournament (kicking Flash's ass twice).
No, I think there's something else wrong with Life.

Life fans will disagree but it is because everyone has caught up with his mechanics. During his reign he had the best mechanics and micro out of any zerg player. His zergling baneling micro was unparalleled. He was strategically naive doing whatever he wanted but he made it work because of his superior control. Now that everyone has caught up, he can't get by on his mechanics alone. He's playing the same way while everyone has improved.
|
Another reason could be that given how fast he rose to prominence, he got overconfident and failed to recognize the need to adapt before it was too late and most players were already ahead in terms of adapting to the expansion. Add the fact that we now have lots of Kespa players who can Rival his mechanical prowess.
His playstyle is still very WoL-esque, he has not changed much since his first GSL victory.

It's not unfair. Head-to-head is a legitimate tiebreaker since he beat both the two involved in the tie. soO's losses before the tiebreaker give him an advantage because they were to other people, whom Life and Byun may have beaten. They all lost 2 games, which should all be weighted equally. The order is drawn randomly, so you can't blame it on that. The results are what they are and players shouldn't blame it on the luck of the draw. Because if you start that line of thinking, might as well blame "unfavorable maps" which are also semi-random. You can't go x > y > z to gauge the tied players including their games against other players, because it doesn't make sense and will always be tied. There are also no mapscores since this is Bo1. Head-to-head between tied players is the fairest first tiebreaker. soO beat both Life and ByuN. You can't just throw that away. You could do a tiebreaker with soO up 2-0, ByuN 1-1 and Life 0-2 and make it a race to 3 wins. But that is excessively complicated. You also can't throw away Life and Byun's wins. If they were all 2-2, surely the fairest system would be first to win 2 consecutive games. soO won against the two players he tied with. Having to beat them a second time, when the other players only have to beat him once, isn't fair either.
If you consider it like that, then you can also for example say that it is unfair for Life and Byun to not have their win against Bang count against soO if soO had lost to Bang. As you said earlier, you cannot apply transitivity to determine the better player. Therefore, you can only count on how many times they won/lost. In this case, they are all 2-2 and so their scores should reset to 0-0 for the tiebreaker.
