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.

but where would he put the tech buildings?

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

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.

It was 1 VR, 1 MsC, 1 phoenix vs like 8+ spores, no? Couldn't he just reposition his spores around the mineral line.

There was only 1 void left i think
he already suicided all the others

I disagree. Life could win if First messed up.

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


like losing zealots to drones and losing voidrays to immobile spores?

He lost two void rays when he stopped controlling them and they floated into the spores. So yeah, it could happen.

no high ground vision, i think the voidrays can camp the mineral line and if the drone long distance mine there is phoenix.

Life makes people do crazy things sometimes.

Take that as Life the player or life in general either way

LOL, First could've suicided his void rays slowly to kill the drones. He just needed to keep the zealot alive.

he could tank shots with the carriers while stacking the void rays with spam clicking on one point under them and boosting down the spores...

The last game drained me of my energy. What an unbelievable scenario in a tournament setting, but I guess it takes pros to make what happened, happen.

Life is a god of micro. First worst decision maker LOL

Life wouldn't win, he'd have a mothership core and a void ray on each side of the hatchery, life would've never gotten mining up and they air army couldn't get the spores. They would both have buildings and not be able to kill each other.


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.

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


I thought there was an overlord there, maybe I just imagined it. Well guess he didn't because then he could have just surrounded one mineral patch by spores and place the overlord on top of them for vision and win. My bad.
