The inferior player makes it to the finals and get crushed. The result? A boring and uninteresting e-sport. | ||

It's cheese. You need to be cheeseproof in starcraft, NaDa wasn't. It's that simple. | ||

Please watch game 3, InCa cheeses yes, he gets scouted and he transitions out of it to still beat Nada. Nada often maintains strong macro but his strategy and decision making are hit and miss. | ||

 Just a stupid example but it gets the point, Inca warped in DTs at different timings in the matches, and everytime Spore Crawlers were finishing the VERY MOMENT DTs were being warped; not before, not after. That's just how much Nestea was focused and is able to read the opponent's mind. So, GG Nesta | ||

Silly Inca, why'd you have to cheese out Nada? Nada vs. Nestea woulda been way more epic. Would be 1-sided as well probably, only MVP or MC can go up against Nestea. MC is just a bunch of really "cute" timing attacks with good mechanics. If nestea reads him, MC is pretty much screwed. MVP versus zergs on big maps still seems pretty hard. Anyone who plays terrans knows the pain to push across map and 1 second delay on your tank siege and you are just dead. | ||

Glad we can tell the zergs to stop QQing about balance seeing their race has won the most GSL's now. Because Inka is a good representation of what protoss is capable of verse zerg right? The fact that he got to the finals with his retarded cheesy style pretty much disproves your statement. We all know how good a macro style protoss can be and now we all know how silly a cheese style toss can be as well. | ||

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. I'm not upset about any build. You're the one bringing up balance here. ZvP is a retarded matchup because if Protoss doesn't expand all he can do is a huge 1-base timing and hope Zerg guessed the wrong build. If Protoss does expand he's the one playing the guessing game and basically auto-losses if he guessed wrong. Since Protosses seem to prefer more mid/endgame oriented builds in the recent high-profile tournaments it's no wonder Zerg has been absolutely destroying them. As a viewer this is very frustrating, because there is exactly ZERO excitement in PvZ no matter who ends up winning. It's never back and forth, it's never amazing clever play. It's always one guy losing the guessing game and getting rolled. | ||

Everyone said macro style toss is powerful but how many of them are there that are successful? MC is completely opposite using risky strong opening to get ahead or strong timings to kill zerg off. He almost never go into late game with them. And please don't throw in foreign toss names around because they would have been manhandled by nestea the same. | ||

Cheese is part of the game. And congrats to Nestea ! Champion once more! Now to win the super tournament! | ||

Until the finals, Nestea had not swept a single series this GSL. In fact, Nestea had lost games to played of all races. Inca's prior record versus Zerg was 0-4. Inca made the finals largely because he was lucky enough to not have faced a Zerg. Inca basically did variations on a theme three of four times, even after it got crushed the first time. Congrats to Nestea, he is very deserving of the win. Inca got a bit lucky to get into the finals without facing a Zerg. I don't think he would have been able to beat any of the Zergs in Code S. | ||

It's always one guy losing the guessing game and getting rolled. 3 gate sentry expand with forge + cannon + hallu. You can see the attack coming before it hits and throw down an extra cannon or two and delay with forcefields. Zerg can see if the Protoss is making a forge at his expo before he makes his roaches. No guessing is required in these builds, Protoss just needed to play safer. | ||
