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

He just broke it. He's risen out of his slump. TL Power Rank #1 material.

I think he had no choice, because Mutas were wrecking his main, so he needed to force Life to retreat or have favorable engagement without Mutas.

What I conclude from the series so far. Innovation can only win in early game while Life knows how to win in long macro games. Well, let's see if Innovation has more flexibility than a couple of Hellbat pushes.

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 hear you, my pet-peeve is certain casters complaining about X amount of hours/events casted. It's not a big deal I just find it disrespectful to those without jobs, or who are trying their best to even get in the door, yet they complain on air lol..

On an unrelated note i'm hyped as fuck to watch Flash dominate

That makes 2:1ratio.
A saturated base gives you between 3-4:1 ratio. Hence 2:1ratio is a gasintense unit. Roach/Marauder/Stalker are sort of balanced units.
Mutas 1:1 is very extreme on the gasside.

--> you need that much gas if you go for banelings or mutas
