I really hope no one makes that silly Idra argument..

If zerg's win - it's because we're 50 times better than you.

If we lose - it's because of imbalance.

But it is quite clear that Nestea is 50 times better than Inca.... lol

damn inca.

you are GOOD at cheese. you CHEESED your way to the top (not debating the legitimacy of cheese). why would you shy away from your specialty on the most important match of your life?

Nada would have done better in macro games. You beat Nada by cheese, why would you assume you can beat nestea without cheese? I dont understand that logic.

Its like obama negotiating politics by virtue of this pot-making skills.

It is common sense that you do what you are best at. I dont understand why you lack such sense.

Yeah, cant understand at all.... at least him cheesing will be btr than this rape..... =.=
the dt opening for game 2n3 is understandable but the 3rd game?? what r those dts for?? he could've just teched into colossus and mass blink stalkers.... this is so lame.....


Yeah Incas play was so different that what i expected, I expected a lot of well executed / creative allins out of Inca. Thats why i thought it would be 4-2 Nestea thought Inca would have couple that even Nestea couldn't read, or would react perfectly.

He could be in a foreign country. Some countries use 9-9-9 or 9-9-1 as the emergency number. Not everyone lives in the US.

F or me this was the most exciting outcome. I only want a close epic finals if you have two equally matched players, but with Inca in, all I could hope for was that the better player doesn't have to give up any games to a far worse player.

On the bright side, Kas vs Hasuobs on Saturday and THORZAIN VS NANIWA on Sunday.

Anyways, congrats to Nestea for a strong showing in these finals, even if Inca's play was a bit weak. Hopefully, the team league and super tournament will produce some awesome games.

LOL inca does not deserve that 20k, they should take the 20k away from the runner up if he loses 0-4 and give it to the champion, because lets face it you played terrible and dont deserve any money .

Thats the first 4-0 finals im pretty sure lol. just goes to show how bad inca is.

What's happened to Inca here is just an an indication of how volatile the current metagame is and how easy it is for inferior players to take games of better players with strong all-in builds. That's unfortunate but the truth. As the metagame keeps evolving and players get better that will eventually (hopefully) go away but that's the reality of the game right now.

I don't want to keep piling on Inca though, Nestea is a complete beast. Look at his timings in that series with the evo chambers and spore crawlers, they were perfect.

but nada was as bad compared to inca than inca was bad compared to nestea today. Nada just played awfully, with super risky builds that can't even hold a 3 gate stargate in game 2 or a simple 4 gates (even unscouted, don't need t oscout a 4 gate to use a 4gateproof build)
I guess inca cheesed nada because he knew his builds were terrible in the early game.

Man, definitely the worst GSL finals so far, out of everything they've held.
Even the MVP vs MKP 4:0 finals was better than this, since a couple of the games were actually close. This on the other hand...

Aren't there more GSLs in a year than OSLs? You'd have to up the number to compensate for that.

Nestea really deserved his trophy and championship! I felt inca wasn't prepared at all the roach ling and started always with the same opening. Although it was 4-0 for NesTea this does nothing to do with balance, incas worst matchup seems to be PvZ and NesTea is a maniac in ZvP so what can you expect? Blizzard won't do any fast reactions since their patch just came and they will have to analyze how will it evolve as for now. GZ for NesTea!<3

Although it has nothing to do with balance, that isnt to say that PVZ isnt evening out right now, if you look at all the tournaments right now zerg is winning more than protoss overall.

That doesnt mean im gonna say protoss is UP and it doesnt mean im gonna say zerg is OP thats just the current state of the meta game, zergs are doing quite well against protoss right now.

This finals obviously says nothing one way or the other, inca is a terrible PVZ player, doesnt even look like he practiced it.


Just goes to show you can't pull out a few numbers and make sweeping generalizations about balance

What happened here was an indication of a better player dominating a weaker player. That is the reality of what we just witnessed. Respectively, it was Nada's fault first, now Inca's. It's as simple as that.

Fruit dealer was still in oGs when he won the title isnt it?? he only switched team afterwards right?? so it should be oGs = 3 wins.... xP

I'm pretty sure he was already in TSL, along with Tester and Clide

He actually had no team at the time.

No he was on TSL. Go watch the finals again. He already had the TSL shirt.
