Thing is, Nestea wasn't behind after the bunker contain. Unless having 2 bases and 35 drones to one base and 24 scv is being behind (with zerg we never know xD) I think he just thought he was in a much worse position than he really was and pumped drones. But still, he had a good amount of lings, he could've sandwiched after the MVP too early stim.

I like TvT because it's the only matchup that usually lasts more than 10 minutes and 2 bases, but that's like an opinion, man.

I find that many posters in these threads are racists in that they automatically cheer for white people and take jabs at Asians whenever possible

Don't be silly, this is a website practically devoted to the worship of Korean progamers. It is nice every once in a while to root for someone that's in the minority to have success.

so much ignorance in this thread

What? Alright, perhaps I'll quote the tl;dr version.

NesTea's defense of the bunker rush was cute, but it also put him miles behind, the game was basically unwinnable there, except that Blistering Affords slightly more protection than does Metalopolis. Hence why the people jumping in the thread to poke fun at IdrA have no idea what they're talking about; Idra never said he couldn't hold that attack off, but to do so would put him so far behind it wasn't worth continuing. NesTea just demonstrated this.

If this is ignorant, then I don't know what isn't.

Difference being that the zerg has to get lucky in order to defend something that takes barely any resources, and even if you do your still behind in every way possible

I wasnt arguing wether or not it was hard or easy to execute compared to defending. And it is pretty damn easy to defend. Also its nothing about being lucky. Its about patroling a drone or just setting a drone to attack the scouting SCV asap.

Wait, why didn't T wall off vs Z in BW? 60 hp SCVs?

didn't 1 or 2 scvs block the ramp + rines behind completely fuck up lings? You can even float ebay to cover the scv so they can't target the scv.

The Code A finals were of the highest quality, if we get finals that are that good, then damn...

TvT is the best mirror match up at least. A ZvZ or PvP finals would be terrible.

Exactly, but really he should have been scouting that.

Still, it is amazing that a bunker rush can fail and then Mvp could expand and get 4 rax's at the same time with an great economy.

Think about how much you lose in a worse case scenario. 8ish Marines maybe a bunker, maybe an scv or two. At the worst you're behind 600-800 minerals but not really because you're denying the expansion and forcing unit production instead of drones. You also probably do about the same amount of minerals worth of damage. Not to mention you can continue to produce SCVs and mules are pulling down massive amounts of minerals the whole time. It's pretty much a no-brainer considering the race mechanics.

It is pretty much a free win, IF the bunkers go up. Haven't seen drones patrolling the ramp recently, not sure for the reason, losing mining time is worth not losing the game IMO.
