That would be pretty one-sided in Nestea's favor. It's his best matchup and idra's worst matchup by far. Wouldn't be nearly as enttertaining as you'd think. | ||

His TvZ and PvZ are better imo. I think you misunderstood and assumed I meant he is terrible in ZvZ. Nestea is amazing in ZvZ and it's his best matchup. Nestea's PvZ and TvZ are also outstanding. Idra's ZvZ is not his best matchup. | ||

Idra just needs to get eye of the tiger in order to claim the throne. | ||

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  Nestea's opponents weren't lightweights, and he very convincingly won his matches on his road to the championship (the only reason his match w/ sc was close was because sc got a free win with a lucky bunker rush imo). It's pretty clear that Nestea is the best zerg, but I wouldn't say he is on another level or anything, given his tendency to get knocked out of first rounds | ||

Idra's play has always been impressive yet his results have been lackluster. He also has a penchant to complain and pout when he views the odds to be stacked against him. Many were disappointed when it appeared that Idra gave up against TLO at MLG Dallas and against oGsMC at the Dreamhack invitational. Champions do not give up. Idra has the talent to become our Zerg King, but unless he changes his heart he will just be another Lebron James. I Mostly agree with what you said about IdrA. However, his attitude lately has greatly improved, if you watch NASL, SoTG, etc, He's been very articulate, quite analytical, all in all I've been very impressed with his attitude shift as of late. You can even see it in the ipl, the way he plays. | ||

Lol, ZvZ is not IdrA's worst matchup. And a ZvZ between them would prove absolutely nothing. Not only would it not prove who is better at ZvZ, it would also not prove who's the better player overall. | ||

He's only lost the grand amount of one (yea.. 1) televised BoX in that matchup. NesTea is just the king of zerg by far. You may say what you want about inca. But nestea's ability to "just know" DTs were coming was amazing, and his matchup vs sC, particularly winning that 5th match (ON CROSSFIRE OF ALL MAPS), is something that probably no other zerg could have done, from the position the game was in. Add to that the following: TLPD Korea All: 62-27 (69.66%) ---> Pretty awesome win ratio vT: 33-23 (58.93%) ---> Worst matchup, and still a nice ratio vP: 17-3 (85.00%) ---> NesTea vP is clearly not protoss favored vZ: 12-1 (92.31%) ---> WTF how can anyone argue he's not the best ZvZer | ||

vZ: 12-1 (92.31%) ---> WTF how can anyone argue he's not the best ZvZer Because if you go with pure statistics, you'll wind up with stuff like this: IdrA (International) All: 105-55 (65.63%) vT: 50-26 (65.79%) vZ: 17-1 (94.44%) vP: 38-28 (57.58%) (Note that I'm not saying IdrA's better. They're both great Zergs, IMHO, but to say that one is clearly better than the other is going a little too far.) | ||

Someone is missing a buttload of statistics if they think Idra only has one televised ZvZ loss... where did you even pull these massively flawed statistics from? | ||

This website, actually. I looked up his Korean stats and he had 1-2 ZvZ (leveling it off at 18-3), which would still put his win % pretty high up there. EDIT: I admit I don't really know where else to find any statistics other than at this site, so if you have a better source, I'd appreciate getting a link to it. | ||

Because of how he is such a consistent player by how to places well in many of the GSL tournaments. My runner up would be Losira because I believe he has improved alot since being in code A and has shown that he can compete in the code S bracket as well. | ||

Idra - MLG DC, IPL Season 1 Losira - Code A July - GSL Ro2 No one else is even worth mentioning now seen as Fruit Dealer has fallen so far since Season 1. Nestea is just way ahead of the rest, it's not even close. He has the trophies, the prize money, the win ratio, the innovative play, everythng is in his favour. Nestea is the second most successful Sc2 player of all time, behind only MC. | ||

I was actually expecting this... do yourself a favor and look at the opponents listed for each of them. You'll see NesTea's opponents are a million light years ahead of most of Idra's listed opponents. | ||
