I just cant get over the fact that people whine about Nani not trying anything beside 4gate. He FREAKING won the semi 4-1, he outclassed his opponent in such a short time.

Give me one....ONE good reason why the fuck he should try something els? To get some respect from a few tl.net members who are sore losers because there player lost?

FAce the facts, this is not a style point competition. You win the game and thats it....case closed!

from what i've read so far (and my own opinion), most people think it's not a problem with the players, but a problem with pvp in general. it's boring, and frustrating, that protoss has one build that is so strong compared to anything else you can do. even on maps with small ramps; 4-gate won in this series (although that seems to be player error here).

i wouldnt call almost 40.000 people a few, you know..


I very much daubt that 40k people whine about Naniwa 4 gating his way to a NY final in TSL3. Compared to tl.net member total, it is a few that hates on Naniwa and complain that he did not mix up builds.

Overall, everytime people use the argument that a player did not mix up or try something els, its always just sore losers!

I love the nerds raging on Naniwa for 4 gating. When a game is for a chance to win 15k you do whatever you need to (in game wise) to win. Naniwa stuck to the basics because he knew he could come out on top. It doesn't matter that the basics for this matchup might be boring to you.

Feels resentment to White-Ra vs MC a month ago.

This is correct. Hasu showed some bad decision making these few games. Game 4 he did not scout for proxies and was punished with a proxy-gate into 4 gate. Every time he tried to wall off, he didn't wall off properly and let Naniwa into his base. Game 5 when it was a 4-gate battle, he chose to tech and not get sentries. This meant Naniwa straight up busted his way into Hasu's base before Hasu's tech could kick in.

If anything, Naniwa exploited Hasu's bad decision making and response to 4-gates and repeatedly punished him for it. It's as simple as that. There's $15k on the line. Naniwa is not going to leave this up to chance. If you know someone always plays Paper, it's not cheese to go Scissors. It's just the correct decision.


Thank you for this, MoonBear. And thank you for the great LRs. <3

Can't believe people are complaining about one base play in PvP.

When you're interested in seeing high-level competition and excitement and what you get to see is essentially three identical games back to back (the proxy was a deviation...that led into 4(5)gate; the first game, the one where Nani's initial push didn't insta-win, demonstrated his ability to fall on his face on demand), it's understandable to be a little disappointed with the show. No spice. No variety. It wasn't even like they were 4gating back and forth so there was some ebb and flow to the match.


Nani didn't play well G1 but you can't extrapolate that to mean that he has terrible decision making or crisis management or w/e, he has played lots of impressive macro games

I didn't extrapolate anything. I said that he demonstrated his ability to fall on his face on demand, which is what happened. If you want to infer other qualities about his play from that ability that's your decision.

I'm sad to see Hasu lose, but Naniwa played good and is the better player, so he deserved the win. GL to Thorzain and Naniwa in the final!

Little pissed Haus lost since he's a much less abusive player and haus/thor finals would have been great macro.

of course I do, because it'll be delayed and u'll have time to get up a robo or w/e in time instead

It should change things yes the counter to 4gate aggression was 2 gate zealot. It crushed it but whether people will appreciate 4gaters being crushed by a 2 gate is another question. I suspect not.

I hope not nani will 4gate and kill him before the first thor is out....


I hope he does 4-gate him, so he can walk into a 1-0 bio ball and lose

Actually people hated zvz for the same reasons they hate pvp now. There were just a few players who somehow held ridiculous win ratios in what people felt was a rock-paper-scissors matchup when it came to build orders.
