Holy shit. Sick play by Life. I wonder if he was holding these strategies back for Inno and had to bust them out after those first two games. "Sick play"? Tbh Dream donated this game to Life after leavin 7 Tanks @ home. ^ This. Life would have died from that first push-out if Dream didn't forget his 7 tanks at home, and take a terrible engagement. Remember, Life tried a massive speedling/baneling push that was near all-in, and it didn't do much damage, while he lost a lot of drones at home. Dream had a huge lead, and probably would have won the game on the following push, but didn't bring his tanks. Life didn't play well at all that game, compared to what we have seen from Life in the past few months. Didn't play well at all? Okay... Dream botched that engagement and donated a lot of units throughout that game but you have to give Life credit for how he handled a situation where he was far behind.
I'm not saying Life didn't 'play well,' I'm saying compared to what Life can normally do, he didn't play well. I'm saying that Life is so good that if he was playing well, I think he would have 4-0'ed Dream in crushing fashion.

dude life looks fucking mad. Because Dream is pretty BM (seriously!) the last time I saw a zerg get this mad it didn't end well for the terran, then again that was 5 years ago and it was BW. that was a good series though. ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/R1CH/Happy2.gif)  thank god, I didn't think you'd get the reference. I thought it was JD? it is jaedong.
The sheep icon was TL's "Raise Your Dongers" during 2013 to the point that mods gave warning for posting/quoting it during BlizzCon

early pool isn't a "reaction" to mech
roach/bane pretty much isn't one as well
later all-ins are gimmicky
mech isn't actually weak in the mid-game, it's just a misconception some people have for some reason
also, I don't think you should have unbeatable armies, it's just dumb

That was a disaster for Life

But those are more of an all in.
Not like early pool, roach bane all in doesn't kill bio player as well.
I am talking about mid game and mid late game.
