Life is ruthless. He's not giving out lemons here he's smashing pineapples in Rogue's face really.

What? Rogue's run through the qualifiers was far harder than Life's run through IEM.


Trembling in your boots yet?


Nope. Just stating that Rogue's run had harder opponents.


Absolutely, but I'm talking about how hard Taeja will get wrecked later today. You nervous?

Isn't that what you said before every DH match they played?


I think you missed my post in the IEM WC Bracket thread, so I'll quote myself explaining why Taeja will get wrecked:

That's a great bracket for Life

ez vZ vs Rogue and then either Taeja or Stardust, both of which are beatable. Taeja hasn't looked very good in TvZ recently (lost 0-4 to Ragnarok just a few days ago and barely beat Revival 3-2 two days earlier) and Stardust's recent PvZ history tells me that he's among the more beatable Protosses in Katowice.


Best-case scenario would be sOs going out to Oz, in which case Life would have the best possible road to the finals

He would lose to Taeja, again.


Yes, Taeja's games against Ragnarok truly showed his vZ prowess at the moment.

6-2 DH.


That was in November, and November was four months ago. Do you want to talk about GSL? MLG? Probably not, because they're not as recent. Taeja going 0-4 against Ragnarok and 3-2 against Revival shows certain weakness in the match-up. I'm not saying he's weak, but saying that because he beat Life at DH he'll beat him again no matter what is far-fetched, even for a fan.

Online is completely different to offline and Taeja has shown that he's not very good online in the past.


Alright, let's look at Asus ROG, which was played offline:

3-0 Serral
0-3 Sortof
3-2 Serral

Firstly it wasn't 0-3 so check your facts and it was clear that Taeja wasn't even in the right mindset from his interviews and his fast GGs and he was suffering from wrist issues.


Alright, I'm sorry, 1-3 Sortof. If you think losing to Sortof and dropping games to Serral is excused by "not in the right mindset" then discussing with you is pointless. Life is miles ahead of Sortof in ZvT, and what I'm saying is that Taeja's continued mediocrity (by his standards) show a weakness he didn't have at Dreamhack Winter. Further, if he is having trouble with his wrists again, then predicting him to crush Life after losing to Sortof dropping games all over the place seems a little odd.



What do you think?


Wasn't that over a month ago when Taeja even said he was in bad shape? And Taeja counters Life's style of play.


But he's in good shape now, in-between losing to Ragnarok online and barely beating Stardust offline, right?

And I'm assuming that 10-pool marks gg vs hatch first unless rogue pulls some DRG type hold.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I wouldn't bash Rogue, guys - Life is probably the best ZvZ player in the world and this is Rogue's first foreign tournament. He's looked great in Proleague and online and definitely deserves his hype.


Seriuously, Rogue is carrying my FPL team and is a beast online, but meeting Life first on this stage... Life is just ice cold, no openings. I think Rogue would look way better vs any other player in this tournament.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Absolutely; I think Rogue is probably more solid in vP and vT as well.

Hope life crushes taeja
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
