I blame life losing for his mistakes and less so for the runbys even if some weren't very cost efficient.

Ugh, really disappointing to see him get a pretty sizable lead every game then throw it away. Should have been a 3:0 tbh it's his style so you can't ask him to change that. Throwing away banelings for SCVs is the dumbest "style" you can ever have. He will never beat a decent Terran if he keeps doing that. Everyone has basically figured out that the more muta heavy compositions are x10 better than the heavy ling style. 35 Mutas is way more of a threat than 80 lings that can die in 5 seconds. And he was consistently banking like 3k gas all game he could've easily cut back on the lings and made more banelings/mutas/bases in general. Just my opinion anyways and I think the recent ZvT's have shown that's true. I wasn't actually commenting on the banelings aspect but more so on the constant ling runbys. He's been doing it since he came onto the scene(or at least GSL and other tourneys) so I don't see why he should stop. In those games, the runbys did a lot of damage. I think Taeja needs to be given a lot of credit for minimizing the damage and if it wasn't for life detonating his banes in games 1 and 2, then this could've been his series..
I've actually watched quite a lot of broodwar, though I haven't played enough for me to feel confident giving out even a wrong understanding of the game 
That said, the style of harrassing the economy of terrans in zvt doesn't work because of mules, while harassing production lines of terrans is game winning. Yes, if you were to keep emptying mineral lines it would pay off, but the style almost never pays off because outside of maybe drg there just isn't anyone with the mechanics to keep it up for enough time to pay off.

did you end up watching SSL9 finals today? it was sick. Bisu vs hero, PvZ. If you plan to watch, don't look at this gif below:

Anyways, I think production is also a good idea but does life know that? lol
