Cannon rushing vs someone who went 3hatch before pool twice (or even three times?) can't exactly be described as desperate | ||

Maybe it wasn't desperate but considering the execution of the last one.. The two straight up games you're talking about were two all ins from Life after Zest fell behind after the build choices (Life got away with 3 hatch before pool twice). | ||

But yeah, desperate might be the wrong word, but Zest really seemed to be broken by g5. He went gate first, then nexus first. Gate first vs 3hatch is basically an auto loss if zerg doesn't mess up. Nexus first still leaves you behind a bit. G2 Zest did an unsaturated third gateway attack which Life blindly countered perfectly by going roach/ling all in to kill the third. Then Zest won two games in a row and figured that Life would go super greed again, because that's how he won the two games, and cannon rushed. That's why it looked like to me. | ||

Poor HyuN, he might as well have not even existed lol. Though that is how I felt about the last series in the Ro16, that was a loooong day. In effect, Life actually won 5 times - wasn't he was the only person who fought the Artosis curse (1 of 15 lol) in the series vs. San? If that's true, it makes his run even more legendary. While it's silly superstition (well, and Artosis is obviously just bad at predicting) - who knows, maybe now the legend of the curse actually triggers some weird doubt deep in the psyche of the players, causing them to flub in strange ways. Only Life just had the mental strength to fight against Artosis, nevermind in convincing fashion | ||

Zest here, Zest there - MMA this MMA that.. Bomber is soooooooo good - noone can beat SAn in PvZ thats the only thing i remember about what was said beforehand - pretty sad, given the fact those guys make their living this way... And none of them predicted even 1 player correctly. Life predicted the winner very easily, I don't think any other opinion on this particular subject is worth noting | ||
