I hope to see him next season when he's learnt to drop-ship play SlayerSBoxeR style or something equally outstanding to watch. I was rooting for NesTea throughout, but that was solely because he was Zerg and I always root for my race as I guess most do. | ||

Well played Nestea From a spectator point of view, I think that the Protoss race will first have to be completly re-worked in order to make it interisting to watch in a GSL final. Camping with a bunch of sentries at your ramp because of how fragile your zealots-stalkers are against zerg/terran all-in is extremly boring. Not to mention that Protoss then proceed to secure an exp and camp at it once again... At least they could buff the Protoss drop to allow more actions...

Don't prend you don't understand when it has been said over a million of time in this forum. Zerg macro is superior to Terran, so Terran has to rely on timing pushes or risky manoeuvers to prevent the Zerg from droning. | ||

The longer you leave Zerg with a lot of bases, the tougher it is to beat. Not to mention that NesTea is one hell of a good player, only losing sets in the finals. EDIT: NesTea and MVP are in the same clan. As shown in MVP's Ro32 match, he has excellent marine control just like Foxer. NesTea must have something cooking if that was the case. | ||

See Scrap, Xelnaga, whatever other one he lost I forgot. You can't out-macro a good zerg player without laying on heavy pressure. He tried on xel naga and he had 10 less workers by 8 minutes. He was winning most of his games while putting on heavy pressure, there's no reason he shouldn't continue to try in game 7. Would be stupider to try to macro when it's already failed for him so much. He thought his SCV allin hardcountered 14-hatch. Turns out it doesn't. | ||

Final game showed us how it should be if both Terran and Zerg players play on the same level when a Zerg FE before pool vs a terran. The game where Nestea lost to that he didn't defend it the right way like last game. You can't really say that BoxeR was playing to the best of his ability in the last game, though. If he hadn't been so jittery then he probably wouldn't have made the play that he did in the first place. | ||

Terran can and will eventually be able to play late game fine vs zerg. 2. You are right. If this is the case, there is a major problem with the game right now. I hope you are just super wrong =/ | ||

Just like he lost every series but Scrap Station (in which he teched hard for a timings push and lost a strategic loss). | ||

He definitely should have pulled back and at least gave it a shot, but he insisted on moving forward even with the spine crawler there. | ||
