It's pretty easy to see why the game would be a draw, Life didn't enough money to make another drone, and if he did, first could just suicide and kill all the drones, leaving only spore crawlers, which First couldn't attack, and no units for Life to get First's units, so that was a draw

With proper micro, 1 voidray can kill 100 spores. So, Life's suggestion to draw the game was smart, considering the drone would have died soon anyways with phoenixes around.

People should realize that there was no way for Life to win that and also there was no way for First to win. It was an obvious draw.

First threw all the interceptors at spores near Life's natural, he spent about 1500 minerals for nothing with those interceptors, and threw the game 2nd time with 2 zealots and voidrays, awful :D

True, thats why Life is so good. Forced a draw out of nowhere
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

I don't think First had a phoenix, didn't it die to spores at the beggining of that whole stupidity?

I disagree. Life could win if First messed up.

The phoenix died to the spores earlier, all he had was empty carriers, 1 voidray, and 1 msc

Well he would have lost his drone almost assuredly, even under the spores. First still had a phoenix

Let's just back up a bit and think of how ridiculous it is we're actually thinking Life was winning that game after all that happened. An absolutely amazing game which is part of an absolutely amazing tournament. I love IEM this year. I love starcraft.

Well, 99% it was a draw. There was a Phoenix flying around and as soon as the phoenix sees the drone long distance mining, the game's a draw.

He had no Phoenix anymore. First lost it to the spores before the zealot fight happend! So normally Life would have won...
