Bomber suddenly decided he wanted people to remember that he was once a GSL championship contender. Bad luck Rain caught him on the wrong day.

He did look pretty pathetic in his last game against Leenock, but maybe that was him getting his shitty play out of his system just in time for Code A? Like what he did against Scarlett at the beginning of MLG? One can hope ...

I say it's a wash. Depends on how he does in the Worlds. If he wins, then it's all good. If Rain loses at WCS Globals, then having those empty weekends watching IPL5/GSL will be annoying for him. Also with Life's win at MLG, he is firmly the best in the world and will keep that title until proven otherwise. Even if Rain wins the Worlds, he needs to beat Life for me to change my mind. Worlds' line-up is too Protoss heavy.

So... was this a mistake to goto MLG?

Well, we havent seen Life beat good protoss in quite a while. He's been riding the terran wave pretty well lately. His Zvz was always good, so yet to be seen how he fares vs toss.

While I personally agree with you that Life is currently the best in the world, he didnt have to play a pvz all of MLG. Only series PvZ I've seen him play recently was his 2-1 against seed about a month ago. I know he is no slouch in the MU but still some reassurance in a live event would be nice.

Also the real standout player of MLG for me was leenock. I mean he just looked so complete. Yeah life beat him and has better ZvT in my mind, Leenock showed that he is definitely one of the best players on the planet, especially in MLG format (again we already knew this though, its why he won 2 already).

Life and Leenock are my two favorite players. I felt Leenock was the best player overall at MLG and I think he blew it in the finals (not saying Life didn't deserve to win though - just Leenock played 2 bad games and lost a won game in the final game... just having been up 3-1). Leenock's mechanics, builds, decision making, micro, macro in EVERY match-up are world class. To me he's in a league of his own. I want him to get a GSL or OSL championship soon so much - he deserves it. I guess we'll all settle for him dominating MLG every time though.

Did you actually read my post, I'm talking about Leenock in the entire post.

Oh, c'mon. We both know that GSL is bad unless you get to the finals.
