Well, do you honestly think that wasn't Life just not practicing? Kid has too much talent, right now he's dominating in a way no player has done before, maybe except MVP.

Oh my god, I thought it couldn't get any worse after Maru got 2-0'd.

Before Rain's disastrous RO16 group the other day he was still the best all around Protoss (due to herO's PvP weakness and sOs/Zest not making it to individual leagues). Regardless he's not in the Life & Inno bracket atm but he's been one of the best players of the last 2 years. If you just care about championships you can also say that soO hasn't been one of the best and most consistent players over the last year. And Maru also hasn't won anything in a while but has still been one of the best terrans and players as well.

SC2 simply too volatile/random. That is why I hate it so often.

Cheeses and allins are too strong.
I used to say the better player doesn't always win and then the answer was clear "it is also a sign of a better player to choose the right strategy". Yeah well true that but there are too many strong openers for toss that you can choose and still switch to macro (so not even really a allin/cheese) and that is what I hate about it: Can't prepare for everything as terran, and even if scouted somethimes the build order just outright kills you.

That (SC2 being so volatile) is IMO the reason why we don't see players dominating over a long period of time although being totally on top of their micro and macro.

However, since Parting is a great player he deserves it as well, I just wished he beat Maru in a macro game and not cheese, which I always consider cheap wins. And there is this Protoss Bullshit thread...

Oracle still should be redesigned. It makes too many kills too fast and it doesn't require that much micro compared to other harassement options (and not much of an investment compared to them).

On Marus side I question his decision making, as he must know in a macro game he wins against Parting, so why not go for a safer opening. But what is safer then reaper expand on the other side?

Since they won't fix many of the unit design problems (the game may be balanced but its unstable and volatile) with the addon, and even the slightest inbalances in pro play get really huge in lower levels (an easy to control but hard to defend against harass unit) the reason why so many people stopped playing and watchin sc2 is simply the frustration it gives you.
None of us is Korean Pro Level and therefore things that already look imba on the streams and VODs really are imba at lower leagues.

I wished with the addon, the game gets more like BW again, where 1 misclick in a fight didn't end the game but you could regain lead with several well done other clicks and micro and such and you had the chance to come back in the game just by being better in mechanics.

Since the announcement of LOTV I cannot expect that sort of developement for SC2 anymore. So I guess I'll just wait for SC3 then, since there is no other RTS around (Grey Goo?) that is as good and fascinating as SC to me.

Not so mad considering Maru has a pretty good chance winning IEM and SSL, and can actual play in PL. While PartinG can't even win random online cups

Not winning anything puts you out of the Life/Inno league. That doesn't prevent you from being a top tier player.

Rain is at least as good as Life overall, admittedly he hasn't been as of late though.

When he wins after having his proxy rax scouted vs Zerg, he's super good and deserves it, when he loses to proxy oracles he doesnt deserve it. kay.
