Awesome games, haven't watched SC2 in ages but might get hooked again :p
Hope the grand final can live up to that series.

TaeJa letting his Hellions get surrounded after scouting the flanking Zerlings was so uncharacteristic for him. I think seeing 3 Queens at his 3rd must've really thrown him off. lol

What a fucking series. Life takes his first ever match against TaeJa and on the biggest stage of the year no less.

Hope it's not the last we see of TaeJa. He should give the GSL one last shot next year.

Didn't Artosis predict a TaeJa 3-0 victory? Let's see who he predicts for the grand final.

The StarCraft II venue is probably beyond peak capacity. Take a bathroom break? Sorry, enjoy watching the grand final on a TV in the convention center. lol

Always so risky to try to go fast 3CC against Life.

But like Kaelaris was explaining, triple CC has been TaeJa's strongest build in TvZ through all this premier tournament wins in HotS. It's how he's defeated Life convincingly in all of their prior meetings.

In any other game, TaeJa would have never lost those Hellions early in the game.

So the stream peaked at 120-125k viewers during that last series.

Wow. Where did everybody come from? Maybe from the Hearthstone/WoW streams.

MMA vs Life better go to 6 or 7 games.

So MMA and Life actually played a Bo3 at DreamHack back in the end of September. MMA took it 2-1 but Life is looking in his best form against Terran since he defeated Flash at MLG Winter 2013. Life also defeated MMA 2-0 at IEM Shenzen back in July. Should hopefully be a very even series.

Welcome back to all the returning fans and a huge welcome to new ones finding love for SC2 esports! :D

gotdamn how the fuck did mma even reach the finals

so underwhelming

HYPE LIFE!

How can you hate on MMA? He's been playing fantastically the past couple of months. DreamHack Moscow champion, WCS EU S3 champion and hopefully WCS Global Finals champion to cap off this incredible career. :D

Too many amazing players retiring at the end of this year and next year. ;_;

Interesting point of trivia: MMA and Life, our finalists, are the only players to defeat Mvp in a GSL final.

That's one helluva interesting tidbit. lol

Artosis and Apollo casting the grand final. Exactly how it should be.

Let's just hope Artosis shuts his damn mouth and gives both players a fair chance.

Siiick micro by Life in that engagement. Those Banelings hatched literally just in time. lol

That defense might have just won him the game.
