Well yeah both could have won if the other player made a HUUUUUUGEEEE mistake. A mistake like that doesn't happen at this level.

First's control wasn't very top level, he left units to die to Spore Crawlers and wasn't managing his Interceptors at all.

There's the chance that First botches something. He already made a series of bad decisions in that game.

He could still mine at his hatchery protected by spores... Just watch the void ray and move drone away asap if void moves in. He gets to 50 minerals and he wins.

If First forgot that he had units…. Life had less than 50 minerals and one drone that had to long distance mine. If he saw the drone Life's game was over. Draw was the correct ending.

Life possibly could've microed his way to building enough drones to eventually tech up and kill First's army. However, it'll probably take longer than just winning 2 more games.

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...


I think he only lost 1 of the 2 there.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The only way for him to lose was that he somehow lost all of his Void Rays without killing that 1 drone. That would never happen.

I would call losing two of your three void rays for free a huge mistake.

There was definitely a Phoenix scouting around.

This has been an amazing tournament so far. And we still have Flash vs TaeJa to come as well as potentially Zest vs Life.

how would he watch them though? He had no way to view high ground and void rays can reach that mineral line from the high ground safe from spores. He would have had to long distance mine because First wouldn't let him get a single mineral trip from that hatch, and if First found the drone long distance mining (still had a phoenix) First would have killed it
