yo, no hating on the ghetto LR OP especially if we whip that shit for you guys together half an hour after the whole thing started, because no one else did anything.

This LR main page is hideous. I do not like the childlike throwback, I don't think anyone here checking this page is 10 years old...
NesTea hwaiting!

OR they were wrong from very very early, and then corrected a week ago.
Fuck if i know. It's confusing as hell either way, and i remember vividly last week (or maybe week before) they had one bracket on Live stream which was different to the one on website.
Pretty funny anyway. Gom made boo boo that's a fact.
John please advise lol! This. The conspiracy theorist in me wants to say that changing the bracket like it is now is way more exciting for the semis and the finals.
About Nesteanypro match, anypro looked bad after the first game because (imo) he wanted to forge expand at least 2, possibly 3 games and this build by Nestea just said to him "No". Imagine having prepared some builds for one week then being denied like that, who your morale is just disintegrated in one second. The game 3 was really good by him, and the game 4 I had a power outage ><
Good GSL day anyway.

Because you just woke up and expect a fine LR product delivered to you by whom exactly? That person that used to do GSL tournament threads vanished into non-existence today, so unless you do it yourself, don't criticize initiative of ordinary community members that managed it for all the live GSL spectators.

Don't hesitate to make the next LR thread. This type of whine should be banned even harder than balance whine, this is disgusting >< The guy who opens the LR thread makes what he wants with it, and if you're not happy you can just make it better yourself next time. LR threads are not a gift from god that appear magically everyday on the sc2 tournament forum section, someone has to do it. If you don't like it, do it yourself or deal with it. But do not whine when someone works for you.

Sick paint skill, this made the OP so much more awesome.
Anyway, Nestea vs Anypro = nothing surprising there

The game Anypro won he deserved to win and Nestea deserved to lose, obviously.
I'm not saying Anypro is a good player though, what he's good at is abusing different all-in timings and once they're figured out I feel he'll drop off the scene unless he change up his play soon.

I appreciate the effort, but without the little mspaint thing the LR would have been fine.

He didn't scout the stargates? Also, if anypro had instead chosen to 6 gate, i'm pretty sure he'd have won the game because of Nestea's 3rd base placement would have meant he couldn't inforce his defense from all 3 bases, anypro could effectively cut nestea troop reinforcement line in half and isolate the third.
he mightve blind countered it since anypro went stargate every game or he did scout it but the observer didnt show us he did.

Nestea is really a Zerg King, feel like he plays Zerg on unexplored level, protoss feels helpless against his strategies.

In the other maps NesTea looked dominant so nothing to be sad of. Btw, is the code A final tomorrow or they have some time to prepare like code S final?
Code A final and Up/Down group drawing tomorrow.
Code S semi-final the next day (earlier than usual remember!)
Then we have Up/Down matches for 4 days, followed by 1 day break, followed by Code S final.
Followed by GSTL 3
Followed by Super Tournament

Anypro only seemed helpless because his style cuts corners. The only reason nestea's spine crawler push worked was that anypro's entire army consisted of one zealot. He was cutting corners to get his stargate out as soon as possible. Nestea crushed his super-greedy play with an unorthodox strategy - even so anypro could have pulled probes to stop the spine crawler that was building inside his vision.
The next game we had anypro go for stargates into colossus off two bases, and that is known to be highly vunerable to a hydra-ling bust off two zerg bases. Anypro did nothing to make his transition safe, so he died. He did not even scout - he just parked his air units over the 3rd and reacted in no way at all when nestea did not even try to expand.
Next game he played a bit safer and got more cannons, and easily defeated essentially the same all-in.
Did anypro learn his lesson? No. He instead doubled down on his forge FE into stargates, and played absolutely horribly. He engaged corruptors with phoenix/void ray while standing over spore crawlers and queens, losing his entire air army for very little gain. It would not have been possible to engineer a worse engagement anywhere on the map - there was no reason for anypro to fight an air army with his army army while standing over their static anti-air defense. After that, he proceeded to float 2600 minerals and losing the game.
There is no way for anyone to argue that anypro played this series well.

Mmm, haha, so first game, I finally saw it ... basically, NesTea did a delayed cannon rush because he figured it would work. Funny shit. That was interesting.

I dont think anypro played that poorly it was a great series, game 3 was pretty amazing on his part as well, usually pheonix vs hydra works for a while and then eventauly the hydra outnumber the pheonix and it stops working ,it worked for him the entire game, its pretty satisfying to see hydras get picked up and immediately killed. Anypro has improved alot recently, thats 2 round of 8 finishes (or was last season round of 4?) either way hes an amazing player who got outclassed by an even more amazing player in nestea. Nestea gets more and more serious as he gets deeper in the tournament you could tell he was sitting at home (with his abacus) picking anypro's play apart and he came up with an amazing set of builds to exploit those weakness's.
Nestea has always and will continue to be my favourite zerg. I think idra could learn a thing or 2 from nestea ^^ XD

Wow. The first game NesTea v anypro. That was one of the most awesome "surprise" builds I've seen!

Well, maybe it's not general consensus and just my weird opinion ... I shouldn't make such sweeping statements, cause people will disagree I guess.
Now when it comes to being a fan, I love July

couldn't anypro just build 1 cannon at the front of the nexus and the spine rush would've been nullified...?

Eh, the BW LR threads sometimes make use of MS Paint graphics, often because they sometimes lack the time and manpower to make proper graphics or perhaps the thread makers are trying to be funny.
Case in point: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=218450
Of course, it's unacceptable to have such poor banners all the time, but I think it's humorous to have such graphics occasionally.
