catplanetcatplanet Profile Blog Joined March 2012 3366 Posts #3 Life is sort of a controversial player here. This is my opinion of his situation in the tournament.

He has been beastmoding through just terrans so far. If he were to win, he would have to beat two protosses (HerO and Creator) and two Terrans (winner of Gumi/ThorZaIN and Jjakji). Frankly, I think life can beat Jjakji. Player vs player puts Life ahead, having beaten Jjakji 4-3 in July. This is before Jjakji wins the GSL but life has shown amazing zvt. Gumi/tz ought to be easier. The big problem will be CreatorPrime.

However, Life has only had to prepare for two matchups, while all the other players probably weren't focusing on their vZ or were busy with major tournaments. 2020 year of pet

Judging from results that are almost a year old feels pretty far fetched, but life is definitely good, i doubt he will win this tournament though.

This is hardly the only tourney these guys are involved in. There is no reason why any of them would have practiced less against zerg in the past few weeks. I dont think your last sentence makes much sense. This is hardly the only tourney these guys are involved in.

yoshi245 Profile Joined May 2011 United States 2782 Posts #9 I expect Hero to win, but between Tzain and Gumiho it will be fairly close imo. I think Gumiho's TvT seems a bit shaky if not inconsistent, although still favorable in his favor. Losing 0-3 to Apocalypse, but then taking out Nada, Supernova and Select shows that Gumiho is capable (even if they were 3-2's).

I hope Thorzain beats him though, he has the capability to make a 3-2 series. "Numbers speak about the past, not the present." -Thorzain

CosmicSpiral Profile Blog Joined December 2010 United States 10853 Posts #10 The fact of the matter is Life is very inconsistent in ZvP. Sometimes he beats PvZ monsters like Squirtle with flair, sometimes he utterly fails against the most mediocre players. The only real advantage he has in this match is no GSL distractions.

Ah well, show the world that you guys are boss! TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

Sadly yea, his indecision didn't help in game2 either. But Gumiho not really even putting in too much effort to get an easy 2-0 lead. Sadly yea, his indecision didn't help in game2 either.
