nice games today!
Just one thing: Can we please stop calling Life "best player of the world", when he can't beat dream (quite good, but at best a top3 terran atm) in a macro game and even losing on a zerg favoured map in a straight up game.
So TL can we please stop calling him the best? thx :D
No

He won last GSL and made Kespa cup semis (trashing Dream in ro8). He also won last foreign tournament he played in over the recent SSL winner and curently the best Terran in the world (Maru). Oh and he beat both PartinG and herO on his way to the GSL trophy.
If you have a winning record vs every other player in top 4 and are 1-2 in series, and 8-8 in maps vs arguably the best TvZ player in the world (and top 3 Terran) (Dream), are you not the best player in the world? The only person who atm matches Life in consistency vs top players and could be argued to be the best is herO.

In bio-based macro games, you have to add. In all-ins I wouldn't trust him as much and his mech is never used *shrug*.

Fair enough, but why all-in or mech when you can Dream your opponent to death?^^

I dunno. Dream's style is pretty greedy, I feel like he doesn't get all-inned enough. I remember the last Code S where he went down 0-2 to Solar because of nydus play. So it's not only performing all-ins, it's also defending them. That, and the pathetic proxy reaper attempt Dream made during KeSPA Cup T_T.
He's pretty great though.

Than the TL predictions would be much better, of course.

You realize we spend less than 1% of the time thinking about the predictions? Like they are literally completely unimportant in the grand scheme, the effort is put into writing the actual article. Predictions could go and I doubt many writers would care

Whoelse?
Maru? Dropped out today as well. herO? Maybe the closest, but Life has still been more successful lately.Everyone else is not even close to their achievements. Life is still on the top, simply because he gets the really good results more consistently than everyone else.

If that is true, then maybe they should go indeed

It has always been the case, it's simply tradition to keep them, and it gives readers something to discuss other than the narrative itself (which has always been the primary focus).

I know, and do know I'm just having a bit of fun nagging the writers. I don't actually have disdain for their predictions.
Obviously the important part of any preview/review of any piece of content is the writing, not the more speculative subjective values we create to provide context in meaning
