Supernova is pretty decent. But yeah, losing to stardust in group stages and beating mostly foreigners isn't that impressive. But what do you expect in a foreign tournament?
Still way better than it's latest performances. Far from being back, but he showed he's not completely dead, at least.

His path wasn't crazy, but he showed that he's at the very least not hopeless in ZvT and his ZvZ/ZvP still have positive aspects to them. Supernova kicked out Soulkey - considered by most to have at least top 3 ZvT in the world - from OSL, so beating him is pretty good. Other than that, a top 4 ensures a seed at DH:W, the more important tournament. It's important to note that it's more than two months until then, which should allow Life to get back some of his old form - he's back to practising hard now, so there's always that.

He seemed to turn his ZvT into overdrive towards the end, I was very impressed by his return to form in this tourney.

Honestly we can't fault him for having a bad series vs. Taeja, the guy made almost everyone including Innovation look silly this tournament. I think we saw legitimate improvement for Life, and from what he said about how hard he is practicing, I look forward to seeing what form his is in come Dreamhack Winter.
