On the one hand, I want Zest to win this so we have a sure trophy for KT; but on the other I want Life to win this because I think Flash will have a much easier time in beating him than Zest.

So difficult...

Why do I keep seeing Zergs rally drones towards their third when they scouted Phoenixes?

No. That green stuff in the spawning pool? For Life, it's butter. His lings are really greased up. Impossible to get a hold of.

Just a timing of when to enter the base.

IIRC he runs his lings when a scout goes out.

Rally all hatches to third and make drones I guess. Unless you're drg and individually select hatches to produce drones.

I disagree. I think an SC2 LR thread is full of many different arguments, only one of which is sometimes who's the best.

You, me, we KNOW who the best is - even if he's changed teams and is hiding it for the time being.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

That is a true story. Balance whine is the only thing more annoying to read.
