Wow, so much zerg rage. Why can't you admit that Nestea lost because his poor micro and weak early decision making (he made a queen in steppes, wtf?). He's a good macro player, but that is not always what you need. And don't expect terrans not putting an agression early game. If you let zerg expand, and not put pressure on him, after 10 minutes its like 30 scv vs 60 drones.

Seems like Artosis is back on the FruitDealer bandwagon after completely writing him off before this season began.

Sorry for noob question, but why are people calling Rain the worse player even though he won? I'm confused, if you win, doesn't it mean you are better?

Poopfeast420 will win the next GSL. You heard it hear first, folks.

It's funny how just a few months ago, macro-based Terran mech play was deemed imba against Zerg. Then Zerg learned to adapt and Terrans deemed that Zerg was imba. Then marine SCV all-ins come in and everyone says Terran is imba, at least in the early game.


He is a bronze league Terran, so not likely.

edit: although if he can 2 rax, it could be possible.

Game 3 wasn't an all-in. It's early marine bunker aggression that all zergs should be expecting from Terran players. Nestea could have held that off but he made a critical mistake of letting that SCV live with 1 hit away from death, as well as not pulling drones to bring down that bunker earlier. It's is REALLY sad to see Nestea go down like that but he made a crucial mistake at the wrong time and it cost him.

i really dont get how every terran whiner can overlook jinros amazing games with pure terran macro overwhelming the zerg.
i guess they are just supermad because the only way they can win on ladder is 2rax/2base allin because they don't know how to play a good game

Screw these cheesy builds.

Marines need a serious nerf. Slower movement, slower firing rate, or lesser health.

Stim also needs a longer build time.



This is not a balance issue. This is a build order issue. This kind of patch-hungry attitude is a very bad part of the SC2 community. It's limiting innovation. Zergs need to understand that hatch first against an aggressive Terran who 2-barracks, is not a viable build.


Pros keep telling you that it is the only viable build. I have a feeling that they know better than you. Just sayin'.


July almost never hatches first. Is he bad?


People have not 2 raxed July in the GSL

Your argument = fail

I'm fucking sick of idiots questioning hatch first after Idra and Ret tell you that hatch first is a must.

I'm just absolutely fucking pissed off right now.

Nestea losing to a terrible all-inning player while noobs who think they're good are trying to explain that 2 rax counter hatch first.

Fuck that noise, fucking seriously.


Just because it's an all-in does not mean it doesn't counter hatch first. If Nestea really is that strong in the management game he has no reason for not building a second spine on blistering. Many Terrans have resorted to all-ins simply because they haven't found any solution for the current Zerg late game (not saying one doesn't exist, but in the current metagame trend, once Zerg gets to late game it will win. Terrans either need to adapt, or all-in. Considering GOMTV does not give players much time in between matches, there is little incentive for players to innovate or try new things. Rather, they use their precious time to practice games and get to the next match.

What would you do in their situation? Try to play out a macro game when you're consistently losing in practice, or all-in when your chances are slightly over 50% at winning. As described above, Terrans hardly have enough time in between games to try something new. Props to Jinro, but I don't think Moon was a good player. He wasn't even solid in the matches he won.


Quality post.

I think there are a lot of Terrans who would rather play a long macro game , but since there is no Solution to the Lategame Zerg army(that hasn"t been Discovered) , Allin is Really the only solution so far.

Quoting Nestea"s Words "This game needs a Bonjwa"
Thy Shall Die Alone...or emm..something like that.

Whatever you guys think, rain still won with superior play. It's not his fault... don't hate the player. He used a winning strat and it worked. Nestea did not play the xel naga game correctly imo. The battle at his natural was insanely close, had he had built 2 spines in front of his hatch instead of 1 he would have held his expansion quite easily...

so this is what i get up for. a mediocre player cheesing its way into ro4. dont even want to talk about balance,maps or whatever. but from a spectator pov its pure bullshit. i rather watch noobs getting stomped in ridiculous ways like in gsl1 then this crap which happens in like 60% of T matches in gsl3...
