My apologies, then! I was always under the impression that she was the manager/founder/ceo etc.

I would give *something crazy and unreasonable* for a FPVOD of game 6 Maru vs Life.

Well there are people who are fans and there are people who are famous for fanboyism.

You can watch from Maru's point of view in the replay

I want the mouse and stuff though, replay POV is kinda lackluster... not as kinetic and exciting.

It's sad to see Terran losing, but at least KeSPA lost :D

Just watched Life vs Parting and Life vs Maru. Sick City! G1 vs Maru and G4 against Parting were just brilliant.

Holy shit, what a great final! Life and Maru are just so sick. This tournament was amazing, what a start for 2015  .
Congrats Life, fantastic comeback!

Life is simply too good!! Always love watching him play GG!

ive been watching sc2 for a couple years now. Life vs Maru in the finals was the best series I can remember. 2nd best? Maru vs CJ hero in this same tournament. the whole tournament was packed with amazing games. life vs parting was incredible as well.
I was rooting for Maru all the way, but in the end, someone has to win and someone has to lose. I just hope this doesn't mentally scar Maru and hold him back from being the greatest. (basically what happened to sOO, lost a couple gsl finals and now he's a broken shell of a zerg). not saying that will happen, i hope to god it doesn't happen. i don't think it will happen, because Maru is just never fazed by anything. amazing games, GG to both Life and Maru, they deserve all the fame, all the money, and all the girls. because they are literal GODS at this game we love.
MARU FIGHTING

All fair points, but I said "the" best player in the world, of which there can be only one. I don't think Maru is better than Life (especially given that Life won the series in the end, which is a rather objective measure), hence my statement. I wouldn't go as far as to rank Terrans above one another.

You might want to consider that everything I said in the first place was strictly my own opinions. I said I think Maru played above his level, to which the reply was "No lol he didn't". My statement was an opinion, but the reply was hardly a masterclass in rhetoric

There is no THE BEST player in the world. Life is one of them for sure though

To be fair I always thought about it more like: TB is involving his wife in his life.

Kespa player = moved to SC2 when Kespa did (Hybrid Proleague). ForGG = 0.2 x Kespa. Hyun = 0.3 x Kespa.

Never stop watching a series in which Life seems down and out. Both players are incredible. I haven't seen a Terran make Life sweat this much in a while (forGG I think was the most recent one), so kudos to Maru.
