Great read :D.

I'm still shocked by the negativity surrounding these finals considering the epic narrative (master vs apprentice) and potential for an amazing series of a matchup which is rarely played well. I'm betting it'll trump every other final so far.

Lol dissing pvp and comparing zvz to coffee, these guys never fail to crack me up (and amaze me) hahahaha! I'm pretty hyped!


Coffee? I thought ZvZ was being compared to fine wine.

Anyway I think this is going to be a great series but NesTea is going to win.

This is gonna be awesome. I feel NesTea will win, but I hope that Losira is crowned champion

Waxangel, loved the running joke. TL really does have some gifted writers.

I'm going to say 4-1 Nestea, because it is Nestea, but it is also ZvZ o.o

However, I don't see any reason why this won't be the typical 1/2 base all-ins.

There, sitting in the middle of the dark and bleak room was Nestea on an iron throne. On each side of the throne were his pair of GSL championship trophies.

When you play the game of drones, you either win or you die. There is no middle ground.”


Haha, nice ASOIAF references. I can't wait for this finals, I wonder if Nestea truly has taught Losira everything he knows.....

I laughed sooo hard at the game of thrones reference. Good writeup, but that Losira-kitten hybrid will eventually lead the zerg to conquer the protoss, and then the hybrids will lead everything into the void.
Oh wait, wrong hybrid?

Its an entirely different matchup.

Great write-up. It makes me more optimistic that this finals could be somewhat exciting, despite it being ZvZ.
Thanks. ^^

At least ZvZ is not as boring as it was in BW. I am still upset at (Z)ChoJJa for beating (Z)sAviOr and denying Savior a 4th MSL.

At the end of the day, we have a Zerg vs Zerg final. Losira went 10-3 to get here, while Nestea was undefeated.

Nope, Zerg's probably not getting buffed next patch!

Which is sorta funny, because Terran players took all SIX Code-S spots up for grabs in the Up/Down Matches (nine Terrans in total competed), while the Code-A final was a PvP. In spite of this, DongRaeGu will probably win MLG Anaheim, convincing Blizzard that because the top three Zergs in the world are in Code-S, there's nothing wrong with racial balance. Hmm, maybe it's not so funny.

No, we didn't hire Idra to write the intro this week.
Is there a thread out there which shows [or a means to compile] zvt and zvp win rates in the foreign and korean scene respectively? Always with the calls of imbalance it would be interesting to have something actually tangible. I recall a few stats a week or two ago but I believe that they were ladder stats, or am I mistaken?

----

Should be an interesting finals, would of been more interesting had you discussed nestea's/losira's respective strengths within the matchup. Honestly I have no idea as I've never watched their mirrors, so I'm going in basically expectionaless in regards to style.

Great write up. I think Nestea will win 4-2 though. I just don't see Nestea losing this series. He hasn't even lost a game yet!
