If anything, this is a pretty good argument that the GSL league format is flawed. I'm not sure what would be better though.

A double elimination format is fairer toward better players, but would require more games and leads to a less fair finals (since one player has such a huge advantage).

More group stages will also ensure that more well-rounded players advance, but if it's the same amount of games, it also lessens the importance of preparation (which may also be a good thing). As a side note: I also think the GSL group stage format is ridiculous...at least copy the MSL format.

Inca didn't analyze Nestea's games?
wtf was he thinking doing 3 dt expands in a row
Nestea always gets a evo and spore by 5 ~ 6 mins
if the nexus is a bit late
srsly even diamond zerg players will do this...

He was holding off DT cheese basically of those games.... =/



Dt expand is no different from void ray expand or 3 gate expand. It is not an all in or cheese. It is just a way to keep the zerg occupied while taking a much safer expo

Nada got 2-0'd by haypro...

Still it would've been better just because it's Nada in there.


You take one match as an example of Nada's TvZ, but you don't know that nada won against zenio this season, went 2:3 against July Zerg 2 seasons ago, all of which are CODE S players who have made it miles further then haypro.

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.


Yeah this is exactly how i feel. Its rewarding in itself to see the better player win.

The word all-in gets thrown way too loosely. InCa just played like shit, don't try to read into this series too much


July played just as bad.. and MC also had nexus's behind his 4gates, so it was the exact same as Nestea's build.

You can't call 4gate an all-in if you dont call this roach/ling an all-in. Cant have your cake and eat it too.

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.


i think MKP vs MVP is 4-0 too or something.


The mvp vs mkp was also just as one sided as this one. Only difference is that the majority was cheering for mkp that time and this time the majority was on the winners side. There wasn't any point in any of mkp's games where he stood a chance, mvp was always 1 step ahead.

I must say this was the most lopsided and least exciting GSL finals so far. I think it was mainly due to Inca's poor choices throughout and making major mistakes. He certainly is better than what he showed us, he just choked very hard. I hope next finals are better. GSTL next week at least .

Except you have less defensive units than a 3gate expand. He did 0 fucking damage every game and NesTea just killed him, it didn't even require all-ins. DT expand is only good if you can kill some stuff before the DT die.

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

If we lose - it's because of imbalance.


You are looking at 190 pages of it.


To be fair, THIS ONE TIME, the 50 times better part is true


Fair point.... inca is nowhere near that level.

It's a tournament, and the format doesn't guarantee the best players get to the top. Get over it. He won his way to the finals fair and square. Don't pull that "he sucks" bullshit. Unless you're saying GOM has a rule where they can lie to their players and re-allocate prize money.

If he was really so bad he wouldn't have beaten Nada or gotten to the finals... let alone get out of his group.

I play zerg, and I'm happy that a zerg won.

But this finals was meh. I expected a macro-fest, with 200/200 zerg and protoss deathballs clashing every 5 minutes.

Anyways, congrats to Nestea! For the Swarm!

well the fact that inca was coming from a 0-4 against zerg was a giveaway. still the tactics used by nestea are strong and have been used a lot in the European scene.

Get out a lot of stuff as soon as protoss expands and u got a very good shot at winning. lings if he has stalkers roach if he has zea+ sentry
