Who is currently the Zerg King? - Page 24

IMLosira aka MiniTea is perhaps the hottest Zerg player in the World right now

Dimaga and Sen shouldnt even be choices....wtf...
I dont get why everyone hops on dimaga's dick so much. His gameplay is solid but nothing special at all. The same goes for Sen.
IMO Ret is far better than Dimaga, but he just doesnt play as much and doesnt get as much attention.

A king needs a winner's mind as well as a king's management ability. While it's true that no zerg has yet attained the consistency to be a true king, clearly the best next thing is NesTea, followed by July and Losira. Their level of play is great, even if sometimes they fail ridiculously (Watch ensnare-july NASL lol).

About Idra, first I'll state that I'm neither a fan nor an anti-fan, I do not giggle in happiness when Idra loses, but I think that objectively looking at the level of play, he's a little under the top foreigner zergs (Dimaga/Sen). I also believe that, since Idra's mechanic abilities and overall gamesense are incredibly good, his decision making and attitude with frustration is what's setting him back, it's hard to come up with any other explanation.

As evidence of this, I'd compare his ZvT with his ZvP. In ZvT, idra looks solid, confident in his decision making, confident in how to attack, defend and counter enemy aggression, he strikes surely and with deadly intent in sort of surgical strikes that often cause critical damage and end games. In ZvP however, Idra looks a little lost, and as the matches progress he looks more and more uncomfortable, missing attack windows, GGing to hallucinated VRs out of frustration, 6-pooling an opponent who always scouts after pylon on 2 player maps, insisting on a unit composition that clearly cannot work, failing to put pressure on protoss on many maps, etc.

He also has stated himself on SotG that he feels the matchup is way unbalanced, and that he feels frustrated with it. However, a true king cannot let such things influence his decision making in-game. Out of the game, he can whine as hard as he wants, but when he is playing his game cannot suffer so visibly from this type of thing, it's just not a king's attitude.

What has nestea done in the last 3 months? Besides play some team showmatches lately?....

NesTea only plays a recorded match a few times a month, and he is not winning all of them.

I'm assuming you're an idra fanboy. And I keep seeing you use the same argument. Well? What has Idra done in the last 3 months, besides lose? He hasn't won a thing since October...

Nestea has had the strongest results/consistency so far, which is why most people say him.

He plays in multiple international tourneys where he often places higher than other zerg players?

And it's fair to call korean zergs better because they practice an entire month for a tourney where they only need to win 4 matches to get into the Ro8?

Yeah, GSL is the "top" tourney, but when you play the same people over and over and over...

Yeah I don't think there is a dominant Zerg right now. Same goes for Terran.

MCs recent results haven't been too good either.
