not to take anything from dimaga, but considering Nestea refuses to play in basically anything but GSL, where there is like 5 other zergs, and only 2 of them being anywhere near as good as him.(Losira and Curious) he doesnt exactly have much competition. there is only 2 non GSL events on his achievements list (one of them being Blizzcon) and he only played a single ZvZ set in one of them vs a non korean. your right, Dimaga being the only person to beat him isnt sheer luck, its sheer probability. noone can stay undefeated forever. especially in this game. he was going to lose eventually, and he did. if you think about it, it wasnt really surprising at all either. he lost to a player with strong skills who he had never seen play before or prepare for.
His ZvZ record would hold much more weight if he had to play more tournaments which didnt give him a week to prepare for each challenger.
MLG Providence will be the perfect test for it. (although to be clear, i still HIGHLY doubt he will lose a ZvZ there either)
moral of the post, dont put someone on an untouchable pedestal because of one bo3.

I'm sorry but Curious is nowhere near Nestea's level. And I also won't begin to explain how wrong the rest of your post is because it's a fan club.

Hope you boss it up at the ASUS ROG Stars Invite :D
