Appreciate the updates Wax, but the 'hide spoilers' option on the TL homepage isn't hiding this. (EDIT: And it's fixed. Thanks!)

Life was not looking good in those games. Even his ling/drone micro wasn't there (particularly against Byun). Sad to see him falling off and I hope he bounces back.

I am still surprised that life didn't advance and that soO did but hopefully next time. Happy that herO did though!

Sad for Life but I think with him winning Ritmix RSL and beating Bomber (who is doing really well in WCS KR atm) shows that he is not down and out and hopefully will recover! On the other hand I hope soO does well in the last season!


As much as I would like to see RSL as a sign of his upswing, you should take that win with a grain of salt. It was all offline, Bomber's TvZ is his weakest matchup and they're teammates. He had a lot of trouble with MMA and Scarlett, who are both not Code S level right now and his offline results (losses in GSTL/WCS to hyvaa, soO, Byun, Genius, with the only notable wins being against jjakji, who hasn't been Code S for over a year and a bo1 against herO) show next to no sign of improvement.

In terms of WCS rankings eSF is doing better than Kespa with only four players in top 16.


Unless I'm missing something, eSF also has 4 players in the top 16. Mvp, Bomber, Maru, Symbol.


EG-TL has 6! Is EG-TL the next zerg bonjwa?

Personally the distinction means very little to me these days because it got kinda confused between players like Parting joining KeSPA teams and EG-Liquid joining Proleague, but as I understand it, there are 4 KeSPA player, 4 eSF players and 5 (6 before Stephano retired) EG-Liquid players. And ForGG and Alicia.

Clearly, EG-Liquid is the next Zerg Bonjwa.

'Course, if EG_Liquid counts as KeSPA with their participation in Proleague, they win pretty dominantly 9 players to eSF's 5 (Axiom-Acer was in GSTL).

Damn you.

Life made one big mistake versus Byun and couldn't recover. Other than that, Life's zvz is his worst match-up, his wins against effort/bang showed that he's still good. Even when Life is in a slump he's one of the best, scary. Sad to see Byun not getting Code S but that just seems to be the story of the Prime players atm Still hoping MKP will get his Nestea-award =)

It was just a few months before when people were calling Life some Genius Savant who figured out how to disarm Widow Mines with lings...

I'm not sure what's wrong with him either, he still has moments of outstanding micro and it's summer, so he should be out of school and have plenty of time to play.

He's still got a really good mentality (I think anyways) when it comes to handling his nerves / pressure.

But, his micro seems to fail him and I can't say for sure, but it feels like he's abandoned his early game aggression. I dunno, something's off with him for sure.

Widow Mines are not the problem, it's bio being too good against everything.

ByuN played like a boss. I think he is a better player than SoO personally (especially from what I saw with Roach/Bane all-ins) and I would have preferred to see him advance. Bang played soooo uselessly. He was by far the absolute worst player, even throwing in a sad cheese in his final game. Life played good, just wasn't good enough. Hero played amazing.
