Gustavus Adolphus lives

If he actually lives through the war Sweden gets an even larger empire. Maybe he could have a son so his line continues and Charles XII doesn't cripple Sweden
 
It seems to me that the really important question is whether he can win the Battle of Nordlingen where Bernard and Horn failed. If so, that's going to accelerate disaster for the Spanish and perhaps eliminate the need for direct French intervention (or, at least, delay it until after Catalonia and Portugal rebel). If not, his survival makes little differene.
 
He did that though becouse he was badass!!!

No, it wasn't badass, it was stupid, he was damn lucky to have survived campaign against PLC. His dumb luck simply eventually run out. If he doesn't die at Lutzen he dies probably at some other battle.
