I guess you can't argue that Anypro has played a good game since he has 2.5k floating mineral on 2 bases even before the baneling attack.

People keep quoting me this awesome deal, but it's bullshit. I've paid for every GSL up to this one, and I can only find time to watch a few select games.

I'm not going to keep buying GSL passes just because each of them is "a month of entertainment".

I bought NASL too. I guess that's like 3 months of entertainment? So with three GSL's in three months, and the NASL, you can now buy 6 months of entertainment, but to keep up, you have to consume it somehow in 3 months.

The city library can offer me YEARS of FREE entertainment, a deal that is, by your reckoning, infinitely better than yours.

There is a saturation point, you see. If I leapt on every deal that offered me less than a third of a cent per day of entertainment, I would not be able to move for entertainment.

Wow dissapointing games. Why the hell did Anypro go stargate in every single game? I mean he knocked July out with a lot of 6 gate stuff, and nestea's never been great vs 6 gates....

terrible micro too. and nada's going to crush inca

Poll: Would you recommend game 1 ? NesTea vs anypro

Yes (443) 98%

I just watched this game and came to this thread, I think this has to be one of those games that go down in SC2 history. I knew creep was waaay to easy to spread compared to BW but Nestea redefined what zerg's can do against static defence and PvZ FE builds.

That play by Nestea in Game 1 is the most creative play I have EVER seen in SC2 since it came out! I mean really like Artosis said, why has no one thought about doing this and Nestea did it in a live tournament game, ugh my fear of creep just multiplied

And the legion of fan boys are in. Anypro is not a bad player.

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.

Anyelse remember idra kinda doing the same thing as nestea in game 1 on steppes of war against a protoss? I might be imagining things. Nevertheless, great games by nestea!

you mean floating minerals when you can't make units out of your stargates because that would be suicide and then having banelings constantly destroying your production facilities over and over again before they can even get up?

how unforgiveable
