You will be hard pressed to find someone who likes NaDa more than me. I have watched him since his first games, revered him as a terran genius and found myself elated at any success he finds.

You will be hard pressed to find someone who dislikes the Protoss race more than me. I constantly joke at it and am frustrated at it as a terran player.

I used to hate free. I always felt that he was hugely overrated. This season, in MSL and in Proleague, free changed my opinion about him. free is DAMN GOOD now. One of the finest Protosses I've seen. Kudos to free, you have to do something really special as a protoss to gain my respect.

Despite all of this, NaDa didn't lose because of any protoss imbalance, real or imagined. NaDa didn't lose because free is insanely good right now (even tho im sure that didnt hurt). I have always and will always look up to NaDa as an amazing player, but in this MSL quarter final match, NaDa was just not himself. There were lots of mistakes in NaDa's play. Basic mistakes that NaDa shouldn't be making. But he did. I looked into NaDa's play on a commentary looking specifically for what went wrong in this horrible 0-3, something that should NEVER EVER EVER EVER happen to NaDa.

Enjoy:

NaDa vs free 1
NaDa vs free 2
NaDa vs free 3

I hope NaDa re-finds his indestructible flare.

Way better than simply replays, which don't get released anyway. Great commentary and insight. Thanks Artosis.

Definitely restores some dignity to Nada in that it wasn't that Free completely outplayed him in all three games. I like the mentions of the little things that should be done (for example how to handle goons on a ramp with marines, etc), though some might be common sense. Thanks for this.

Nada didn't play well at all. Thanks for the these!


I love how you can hear your resentment towards protoss build with each game.

Nice work man, thanks. NaDa is my favorite Terran of all time after BoxeR ofc. When he's on fire he's basically unstoppable, sooo goooood!

Really nice comments, especially in the 2nd game. I couldn't agree more with the comment that it's borderline stupid not to wall-in or build a bunker when you know what's coming.

The good thing is that I'm a toss player, and since all the D Terrans copy pros brainlessly (yes it's a P player calling T players dumb) it's really easy to do damage with early zealots.
No I'm never serious.

You've got to do something about that site. The videos often stops and the sound keeps on playing and it buffers really slow.

I still think that the best commentary combo is Artosis+Tasteless commentating a TvP. The next great commentator needs to play zerg
