That's 2 wins, one mentioned twice, and his Proleague record is quite poor.

"Made the tournament look easy"
Barely barely came back 3-1 winning off failed cheeses and a runby through a missing depot.

Sure, it's fine you hype your players up a bit, but the amount of misinformation and exaggeration used is becoming really annoying...

That's what hype is at it's core.

Like I said, I'm fine with a bit of hype.

On the other hand, it has to be at least somewhat close to reality. I mean, sure, Life is going good, but winning 2 tournaments is not "The sickest winning streak". Winning IEM Taipei he didn't make it look easy as he almost fucking died trice.

This is what bothers me about current day D9 as well. Constantly spreading misinformation on performance and strategies. Like he doesn't stay in touch that closely to the scene anymore and just enjoys the tournament and moneys. Foreign casting really went backwards quite a bit since the latter parts of 2014 IMO.

Life holds the sickest winning streak.

Is anyone trying to argue Life is not on a streak at the moment? -.-

he is currently on a 0 game winning streak

I'm just sick and tired of negative casting.

Casters like Apollo and Kaeliris will look at an engagement and say "oh this is bad for x player", "oh what a mistake from this guy", "oh this is terrible", "what a bad move", "this player is in such a bad position". Whereas it's true, it just gives a negative spin to the game I feel.

I much prefer Tasteless' play by play "ah zerg is moving forward now, looking for a favorable engagement", "oh player y is looking to do something with these lings" or "and now player x has managed to get a very good position in this game". In the case of an actual blunder, you hear "oh well that was an over-extension from the [race] player", "player x made a mistake and player y really managed to capitalize on that" or something which sounds a lot more smooth than ESL casters which spend 20 minutes shitting on everything they see.

It's placebo, I know. But jesus I feel like the casting is really negative. Be more positive about what players are doing right.

I really dislike not hearing the crowd

Life refusing to tech, hopefully Inno can utilise 3/3 and still win with good engagements.

no way to tech with such a low drone count etc

Yeah, better to float 1k gas than spend it. Herp derp

gas is pretty useful for banelings and mutas you know

Then spend it?

then he spends all, does an attack and after the remax can make 8 banelings

just like after that attack on the 3rd

With everything going around the map, Life still manages to respond perfectly to a Widow Mine drop. Best SC2 player by far.
Parting: Well, even I can make better maps than these.
