Life is possibly the best defensive Zerg out there. Hard to cheese him.

 

[Syf]

what a hold

 

[Majine]

Holy shit, that was a tense hold.

 

[Corran Horn]

He who cheeses....

 

[Syf]

awesome game

 

[unknownstranger]

Lol this series.

What was the point of going double Oracle there?

What was the point of going double Oracle there?

cuz everyone else is doing it yolo

Did he even get enough Drone kills to make them worth it?

I don't think Parting got more than 5 combined between them. He killed a ton of Lings but that's it.

 

[Corran Horn]

The comeeeeback

 

[unknownstranger]

Stupid of Life to never get either a 4th base or Vipers.

 

[Kiritsugu]

Only 32k viewers. -_-

This game really is dying (until LOTV, anyway).

Pretty good series so far.

 

[Syf]

these people subscribing during game 6 of the final

don't they know the sub is only for the current season lol

I'm sure charging $14 to get higher than Low quality has nothing to do with it. -_-

 

[SamuraiX-]

All those Sentries AND the Nexus!

roflmfao

RIP in pieces PartinG

 

[Majine]

Wow, what a move.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

holy fuck i tuned in at the perfect time

 

[Syf]

that micro though

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

wow

 

[Kiritsugu]

Wow. The blink micro was good, but what really saved Parting was sniping that third without losing units.

 

[Dice]

THAT is the confidence Dream's coach was trying to telepathically pass to him last night.

 

[Corran Horn]

All those Sentries AND the Nexus!

roflmfao

RIP in pieces PartinG

Say what

 

[SamuraiX-]

I don't at all understand how Life lost that. He barely invested anything in sniping that third. Did he forget to macro for several minutes or something?

It's been said plenty of times but can't be said enough: the amount of bullshit Protoss can squeeze out on 2 bases is fucking ridiculous.

Artosis about the cream himself.

 

[unknownstranger]

Life's taking way too long to tech up. Needs to stop going for these Ling/Roach busts since they aren't working.

Artosis about the cream himself.

He was still basically on Ling/Roach when Parting pushed his 3rd.

 

[Syf]

i dont think ive ever seen a game on iron fortress lol

 

[calder]

That last game was so good it got me out of bed to watch the rubber match on my computer. Thanks for killing my sleep parting!

EDIT: although GOM's crap free stream may be more tolerable on ipad

 

[SamuraiX-]

Artosis just compared this final to Mvp vs Squirtle?

.................

All-in with the full retard.

 

[Corran Horn]

Rah roh

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

gg

 

[calder]

Doughty defense but it's all over. Grats Life!

 

[Corran Horn]

Disappointment :/

 

[unknownstranger]

So fitting for that series to end with cheese.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Nice micro early on by PartinG to barely take any damage but Life read the game and played those first 10 minutes perfectly. All those Nexus cancels plus predicting Oracles and dropping Spores.

Even after all that it looked like he was gonna throw it away when he was pushing in really aggressively 30 seconds before his +2 ranged was about to finish.

Great final, but somebody needs to strangle Arotsis if he starts trying to put it in the Top 5 again.

 

[Syf]

yeah that was getting annoying. like it was good but not one of the best

life's great though. so impressive again

 

[unknownstranger]

First two games were hilariously awesome. Rest of the series was a bit meh.

Minor news..the "PR manager" that has been with SC2 since the beta(so around 7ish years?) left Blizzard last month and got hired by Riot. It's interesting to see Riot has that much of a pull in the game industry and this is the one of many blizzard to riot moves over the recent years.

[Syf]

That is interesting. I wonder what it is that's making the people switch companies.

Money.

 

[RumblingRosco]

That is interesting. I wonder what it is that's making the people switch companies.

Also, I have to imagine that work on SC2 is winding down in many areas as they near release of the last expansion. It's very possible the PR guy/gal wasn't interested in the next project to the same level they were for SC2.

 

[Wedge7]

Bob colayco, I used to remember that guy back in the day doing gamespot reviews. What a blast from the past.

 

[Aaron]

Lucifron and Vortix are playing Heroes of the Storm now? Is SC2 a daed game in Europe?

Last nights MKP v Byul proleague game got DQd for match fixing

Last nights MKP v Byul proleague game got DQd for match fixing

What?

 

[Crimsonlink]

Oh shit! I was wondering how MKP didn't notice the obvious creep. Holy shit! Hope the penalty isn't too much if there is one.

 

[Syf]

Yeah this is the game here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-XbHBQAco8

At 4:30 he definitely spots what's going on but doesn't react. MK pls ;-;

 

[StopMakingSense]

Yeah, plus some v. suspicious numbers on a betting site in favor of Byul.

 

[HellBlazer]

Oh shit, I thought he was just... playing unbelievably badly, I guess. But wow, with the betting situation, that looks extremely bad. I guess Kespa will have the replay files, so they should know exactly what he saw or not. We'll see if they make an official statement - did they ever make one about that San/Dark match?

Still, if that was a throw, way to make it completely obvious. :|

Hope the penalty isn't too much if there is one.

Hmm, really? If MK is found to have purposefully thrown the game

Spoiler

(as opposed to the accidental throws he usually does)

, that's extremely serious and he should face very severe consequences. I don't think a lifetime ban would be unfair if it's 100% certain he is guilty.

 

[Wedge7]

Oh god, not again.

Wonder what the ramifications will be.

 

[unknownstranger]

Got like a minute into that game. Couldn't watch the rest because of how obvious it was.
