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

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.

This is one of the times where i am wondering how someone like First goes this far in such a stacked tournament and then show the shittiest play so far this IEM.
i mean that control was so bad

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

not sure why life didn't at least try.

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.
