Hahaha, add him to the list of sorcerers along TaeJa!

When it comes to that, taeja>life. Remember when life accidentally manually detonated 30 banelings vs taeja on heavy rain?

Personally I think it has something to do with his opponents being paranoid about A) mindblowingly weird timings B) runbys everywhere

C) Fearing the #11 in the TL Power rank.

this is the damn truth no doubt

There is no player who's even close to being as unpredictable as Life. That's kinda hard to play against. Especially mentally


TRUE probably comes a bit close, but mostly due to how batshit mental he is.


Well, TRUE is unpredictable in another way. but you're right :-P

Are you serious. Come on dude, don't fall in line with the Taeja haters with the bullshit

It's pretty hard to argue against when a zealot walks out of the hold position and suicides to some lings, loses two probes and gives up a whole base scout. And then later suicides a zealot, colossus and pylon for like 4 roaches. We all know zest is way better then this.

I didn't actually hear the reason. It's not uncommon for Korean players, particularly those on Kespa teams, to cancel participation in foreign tournaments. In any case herO is an awesome replacement, even though he sort of underperformed

1) moving the zealot out vs 6 lings when there's a mothership core.
2) Getting your whole army stuck on the zealot in the wall => lose first colossus
3) MISCLICK CHARGE

2 and 3 won Life the game and had absolutely nothing to do with him.

he spammed his lings through the zealot
he kept distracting zest with lings
to fuck up his macro
faked an attack on a third, pulled the msc out of position
kept sniping the phoenixes while hitting the rocks
stopped hitting the rocks to make zest stop focusing on collosus
killed the rocks
sniped the collosus
made zest hesitant between making phoenixes or voids for corruptors or muta mind game

Life's strange and high pressure playstyle allows situations where Zest can fuck up and he does.

"Unforced" is a complete untruth. Life pressures opponents into slip ups and capitalizes perfectly. Also his post was a blanket statement about Life, I wasn't saying Zest's zealot mistake wasn't silly

Nono, Dear.


Dear won the S3 finals right after, so he's a tier above Classic.

too bad he went to a foreign team, because he had the skillset to be the "Maru" of Protoss.
