I think he was sarcastic or quoted the wrong guy.

LifevP.... soO, Bbyong, Squirtle are the three players we can hope for him to face when he gets past Maru, whereas the other players will prove tougher opponents. At least San isn't in GSL.

It's an easy pass to the Ro4 though My heart hurts while deciding for who it is an easy pass. I'd say for Life at first, but my sympathy goes with Maru as well.
Without any disrespect to Maru I'd say that the match-up favors Life a lot. His ZvT is still really good whereas Maru's has been periodically lackluster recently. Probably Life 3-1 Maru

From what I gather, He's not saying one game is better than the other.
He's saying that the 'crossover' was not as seamless as people assumed.
The way the game works is different, as such, the people who did well are different. Nothing to do with age/era etc.

Seems fair. ZvT is the one matchup that Life has kept really strong over a long period of time while it's the matchup I would most worry for Maru. I agree that Life should be favored

I haven't said shit about whether one game is better then the other. The only thing I've said is skill in bw != skill in sc2. Aside from that I'm just pointing out blatant contradictions in your posting. Btw, bogus was playing back in 08, the same year as your lord and savior iirc

In general, that is correct, though I think if he just goes down to good old 4M, his micro will make Life actually fight for his prey. But afaik (not too sure though), Maru goes mech vs zerg quite often? Saw it vs Soulkey.

If it's soO I will cry tears of joy. No way Life is going to lose in ZvZ to soO (or anyone, from how it looks right now).
