I think we should all actually take a moment to say thanks to Nazgul for making all this awesome foreigner action possible.

Thanks Nazgul, you're a fucking baller and all your hard work is really appreciated.

There has to be a better way to cover GSL qualifiers than feverishly watching a Twitter feed and mashing F5 on a forum thread.

How can you guys possibly want FD to lose? T-T

IMO he's overrated (he's good, but not as good as people make him out to be), but anyone able to give him a good fight would be interesting to see play.

Overrated?

He won the largest tournament ever when Zergs were dropping faster than raindrops.

What he did was astonishing and no one ever predicted him to succeed in such a way.

No they didn't, but they do now, and now people say he is the best zerg in the world. Yet he almost lost qualifiers. He's prob top10 zerg in the world, but players like nestea (and even zenio) are imo better.

Zenio being better than Fruitdealer? Really? I didn't see any play from Zenio that compared to what Fruitdealer managed to do in the first season. Nestea is definitely a great player with great decision making, but I'd still give the nod to Fruitdealer (only slightly at best) since he won the GSL when zerg was actually underpowered and needed help, he was the underdog by a long shot in every ZvT he played. Nestea had a week to prepare for Boxer and he still lost the first two matches to the hyper-aggressive play style of Boxer, while Fruit was the first well known player to see how good Boxer and his style of play were and consequently lost 2-0. Managing to holdout as long as he did in game 2 was amazing, especially with losing his baneling nest on the first push and having to re-drone from being almost down 2:1 in drone count.

Summed it up perfectly. NesTea dropped the first two games to BoxeR knowing EXACTLY what was coming, if it was a Bo7, I'm sure FD would've adjusted accordingly like NesTea. FD was amazing when Zerg sucked, and unfortunately ran into FoxeR early on. Put FD on NesTea's side of the bracket, NesTea would've lost to FoxeR 2-0 and we wouldn't even be talking about how FD is no longer a "great" Zerg.

So what changed for Zerg that they no longer suck? Besides Roach range, I'm just slightly confused about this. It just seems to me that players are just getting better at playing the game and FD was the first to do so.

Did you not see all the Terran nerfs? =/

Toss got nerfed a bit aswell, Feedback isnt usable against corruptors anymore etc.

at least for that MU.

god stop the balance crap. It gets zzzzzz

ps GO RET

Ret is probably chilling on a macro game. It's going to be a while before we find out those results. =P

I'm just going to put this out there.

ATTENTION: If you look at the timestamp for Artosis's twitter and it is over a minute old, there is a 99% chance we are already aware of it in this thread. It's annoying to read the same tweet over and over again for an hour.
