I think he's the creative side of MC, where as MC has the skills (mechanic-wise) to pull off those strategies as best as possible. Could be why he's getting eliminated by "lower-classed" players, as the pair aren't devising player-specific builds against them.

Game 1 was the traditional 30 drone roachling "allin" thing that has been around for about 6 months that people on the forums are apparently now shitting themselves over as of this week. Game 1 was also a 2 gate expand with extremely bad sim city and no cannon, on the absolute best map for that bust (holy hell was that ever amateur).

The next 2 games not only weren't 3gate expands but 3gate DT expands, where DT's did a metric NOTHING every game, but Nestea never did the goddamn build you're so upset about. The fact that you don't notice the over 5-minute disparity between these two zerg builds is really something you should think about next time you think you should talk about balance.

He went into the games with a plan on doing a strong midgame centric play that revolves around mass attack upgraded lings and is backed up by speed upgraded roaches (starting +1 zergling melee before lair), which is designed to be good against 2 base allin timings and especially at denying protoss 3rd base, but, as we saw, can be used aggressively when your opponent enters the midgame severely behind due to having an awful opening build.

Game 4 I wasn't paying too much attention to the intricacies of their builds but there isn't much to say either. Inca starts the game at a considerable build order advantage, but squanders it by going dt's yet again and getting repelled as easily as he did in every game before that. From there it was NesTea, who is obviously too good to let his opponents come back after taking risks that do absolutely nothing, toying with his food.

It's absolutely mindboggling how the forum dwellers have taken this roachling allin (which I remind you we saw ONCE in this series) as something new and broken. I'm a grandmaster zerg on EU, and I've been using the build for months every now and then, and every goddamn protoss I have ever played is familiar with it and knows exactly how to stop it. You defend it by having a proper simcity below your ramp, by having your army in a good position before the lings swarm in, and controlling your units and forcefields properly. If you want to be absolutely safe, build a single cannon. So yeah the answer is actually controlling your units, such is the nature of this game.

I couldn't find the word "creative" when I looked up Inca in the SC2 almanac, probably has something to do with him making dt's every game despite knowing Nestea goes for early spore crawlers.
