Nicely done, that's the 2 players I wanted to see. couldve done with a protoss less, but still ok i guess skyHigh played terrrrrrible tho, so better a protoss than having that level of play in code S. maybe thats a bit harsh, but his games really were pitiful
Not really. He played pretty well against Squirtle, and had better control than ParalyzE for 99% of their game. If we're basing our opinions of players on one series, I guess Life should have gotten knocked out after his loss to Squirtle, because that was pretty painful.
But Life and Squirtle obviously should have gotten through and they did, so justice was done.

you cant really compare hero's one or two summons at once with uncountable waves of free units with ridiculous damage

Squirtle 2-0s life was unexpected, so was paralyze beating skyhigh. I guess someone will be happy when they wake up to the results lol

Haha^^ I saw the end of the game. I think Hajime no ippo is a very accurate example indeed.

Paralyze did play well overall though. Not enough for code S but close.

Not really, Life was in control of that game from start to finish. Once a certain amount of broodlords and swarm hosts are massed then there isn't really anything protoss can do.

Really enjoyed these matches today. SkyHigh impressed me, even in his losses. Such high level play, I hope GSL survives until the final SC2 expansion runs its length. Mannn ... so good!

ssxsilver pointed it to me that free units as a concept is not inherently bad and used WC3 as an example. I've just agreed with his correction/note to my first post.
Free units in SC2 are still disgusting though. I wish they would be removed from the game completely and replaced with something other.

That build from Squirtle was so fucking clever.
I hate him so much for it. I feel terrible watching Sky High fall for that. Wolf fell for Squirtle's trickery and he had fucking Observer tools. Skyhigh never had a chance of seeing that coming.
Tell me more! What was the trickery? :D
