Well, if the opponent forces you to make mistakes... isn't that the definition of being outplayed? ... No one forced Zest to have nothing blocking his natural wall in game 1, to move out like a retard and no msc close in game 2 and don't tell me Life outmicroed Zest in game 5 because I'll laugh. Zest just made every click possible to lose after he set up that cannon. Those were totally unforced mistakes so no, not outplayed by any means. Well, then Life has to be lucky quite often because almost every player lets Life's Zerglings into his natural/main at any point of almost every game. Game 5... well... Zest decided to cheese and Life held it off. That's how it goes :-P
How can you say "Life held it off" ? It's : "Zest managed not to win".

Do you really think people just coincidentally make so many more mistakes against Life, every tournament, every year? Really? I wonder where his magical powers to make his opponents play bad were gone when he dropped out of code A. He's not a magician. He chose good builds to put Zest out of his comfort zone and was lucky enough to have Zest making one of the biggest throws of the year in game 5. Nothing more, and it's already a lot. But Zest beat himself. Don't doubt that.
yeah Life winning 3-2 doesn't change that Life is in Code B and Zest made Ro8 all 3 seasons. same with herO, he could win Blizzcon and it would still not make him #1 in the world.

Not only has Taeja won a shit-ton of tournaments, he's done it in an incredibly short time.

I just realized after seeing the stats, but this is literally the most winningest player against the least winning player...

If soO loses this, Kespa is officially worse than non Kespa

i didnt realize today is the GSL grand finals already

Life beat Zest by forcing him to play unconventionally. Zest doesn't go for the cannon rush in Game 5 if he doesn't go for the proxy dark shrine in Game 4, and he went for the latter because he felt like he needed to catch Life off guard.

The difference is that Soo's results are consecutive. MVP fell to code a between GSL wins. Taeja's 11 premiers are over the span of 3 years and in much easier events. It might not be the highest peak but no player has ever done anything anywhere near this consistent before.

The only thing I'd like to see now is some nicely placed first person stuff.
