I legitimately feel bad for anyone that became a fan of nestea because of Artosis and did not know the skeletons he had in his BW closet, he's just being zerg bong without Reach to drag down with him.

I wish he was still called ZergBong. Nestea is a crappy name.

Also he beat Naniwa, nuff sed.

I can't speak for others, but my appreciation for Nestea is due simply to the fact that he plays Zerg far better than anyone else in the world (even taking his recent form into account). Artosis' hype is amusing, but kind of irrelevant. As is his BW career.

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I have tremendous respect for Artosis, he's a pillar of the community and a great commentator. I enjoy his hype, and its partly what makes the GSL such a great experience. All I am saying is that my carnal love of Nestea is not contingent on Artosis' hilariously hyperbolic descriptions of Nestea's intelligence.

Nestea was way ahead of the metagame and this was his edge.

Unfortunately for him, he revealed a lot of strategies to win his GSLs and his peers caught up to him and figured them out. Now it's up to players with great strategies and great execution as well.

I think it's hard for Nestea to compete with young guys like Leenock or DRG on a mechanical level. So although he's still great strategically, SC2 progamers are becoming good enough that you need to be excellent mechanically as well.

MVP knows how to counter Nestea's strategies. MMA can out-multitask him. Leenock can outmicro him. etc etc.

The final thing is motivation. After you've won 3 GSLs, you can get complacent. When your competition is young kids who practice hardcore with the immense desire to win a championship and make a name for themselves, it's hard to beat them all. Especially when you have too much footage out there to be analyzed.
