A true king does'nt a-move with infestors against tanks. Nestea is not the zerg king. Btw IdrA is far more impressive than July. Have you seen July's games in NASL ?

With watching Nesteas run through the GSL i would say it is not him. SC outplayed him but he has terrible Macro and really weird decisions when it comes to expos (not taking the 9 o clock expo but the bottom right one). Nestea barely won.

Inca played poorly Nestea didn't play well


Jaedong is a Zerg for his incredible play vs top players like Bisu or Flash. Nestea plays the game like a sluggfest.

NesTea discovers even the tiniest hole in your defense and will exploit it. How is that a slug fest?

Also he won against SC on Crossfire which is one of the worst maps for zerg in a long time...

It's a tough call between idra and nestea, but after todays farce at the GSL finals I have to say Nestea. He is pretty imba. And I like the guy. Isn't he over 30? And he still found the passion to go all the way after an (arguably) failed bw career. Gotta respect that.

Oh my bad, he isn't 30 quite yet.

I love how people tell us that NesTea played bad opponents. Well, that would pretty much invalidate all of IdrA's achievements bar the GSL attentance. He even said himself he only won the IPL because of Kiwi playing bad rofl.

Such hypocrites ^_^

So nestea won and now he is zerg king. Lol that's so funny... I can guarantee if he would lost to inca noone would say that he is zerg king


Firstly, he was already the best Zerg before this and the only reason he wasn't dominating the poll is because of the massive pro-Idra bias that exists on this forum.

Secondly, no shit he's the king after winning the GSL. That tournament is the benchmark in SC2 and any player who has won it so far has been considered the best of their race at that time. No other Zerg besides FruitDealer (who was the best at the time but has since been surpassed) has even come close to winning a GSL and now NesTea has won 2.


I just want to say that winning vs. player who played horribly bad does not mean much. I don't say he isn't best zerg in the world right now, but that is so funny to hear ppl immediatly starting calling someone king just by winning few games, no matter how those games went

WHO HAS IDRA BEATEN IN ANY TOURNAMENT HE WON?

He's won IPL, which had a very weak player pool.

Not one Zerg have been pulling in consistent results, Nestea was knocked out of Starswars in a nonimpressive set. Idra has been playing well but hardly amazing.

The Zerg king should be a bonjwa not the currently best preforming player.

Compare July's games in the GSL to Idra's games in the GSL, July is about 20 times better than Idra

One of the reasons Korean dominance in BW is more prominent is because they don't play in laggy online tournaments like the TSL and Star Wars.

Honestly, it should only be judged by LAN tournaments and currently GSL is the best league by far..

I hope the people discounting NesTea's win over InCa aren't the same ones who have spent the last 50 pages citing IdrA's ladder games and his wins over people like Drewbie in American tournaments as evidence of him being the best in the world.

what does the title of the thread read? the CURRENT zerg king. Therefore: it is nestea

Even though I do not play zerg, from my perspective, no zergs currently can be called "kings". Simply put, all the zergs right now are not nearly as perfect as they can be. Even though Nestea is the best zerg currently, it is extremely easy for a highly talented player in the calibur of Jaedong to dominate and completely outclass Nestea.

Yeah. As much as I like Idra, I think we all know who the Zerg King is right now.

It's way too early to have a true Zerg king in SC2, and that appplies to the other races as well. Currently the most accomplished zerg is Nestea, but that doesn't even mean if we had a league of the top 100 players in the world, where they play round-robin multiple times, that he could get the highest score among the zergs. In such a format I expect Idra to do pretty well - he is probably the most stable zerg vs highest class players on the long run, but he gets sniped in eliminations too often.

Gotta go with NesTea atm, but I really like July and his style of play.
Nestea - What a beast.
