I knew it all along. Never seen a single macro game from this guy. The only strategies I've seen him use are rushes/cheese - and the occasional somewhat normal game AFTER the cheese/rush fails rofl.
Instead of trying to play normally he does the same shit all over again and again and again. Fail, fail and then more fail. Either he rightfully has no confidence at all, or he can't actually play a standard game at this level.
Either way he didn't deserve the final spot. He just proved that all by himself.

These finals are really getting embarrassing. I kinda feel bad for GOM and blizzard.

I love starcraft very much. I dont like when people say its just a game and not a sport, or when articles like "The elephant in the room" are published that say competition in this game is farce. To me, starcraft is a great game and it only gets better with time.
And then comes GSL may super finals...
Are these supposed to be the best in the world? This games were horrible! I wanted to see the best in the world show how the game is played and then Inca loses 4 games in less than an hour, short, non exiting games.
I dunno the true reason for this, but it sure is dissapointing. The finals may have been one-sided but they were important games in the development of the ZvP matchup. This is because Nestea shows that an aggresive-style zerg is possible contrary to the popular defensive macro zerg style.
Also, consider that BW has also produced very one-sided finals as well. This is not different from any other sport - whether tennis, football, etc.

i think it's all mindgames: he feigns weakness so that protoss will play standard "abusive" style versus him, which he proceeds to crush. i remember he said in one of the prefinals interviews that although he qqs a lot, he is actually very confident.

But if you think about it, that's a smart way to go about it - cry more and act "shocked" so that you can get your race buffed. These IM players are very cunning - remember how MVP said that terrans were the weakest race? Also, by saying that your race is weak you're sort of implying that you must be very very good then.

I can't believe the whole OGS team, who had nothing to do but help Inca win, couldn't come up with anything better than DT openings -.-

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. 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. Have you ever played toss? You do know now that with extra 20 sec on warpgate. That is a huge delay with hallu scouting versus a roach/ling bust. How many cannon are you going to throw down? Cause 1 is definitely not enough to stop the 8 roach+reinforcement ling rush. What if then you throw down 2-3 cannons after you see the new rush. Remember 2-3 cannon is 300-450 minerals and that is that much less going into army. Toss army get exponentially stronger as army size gets bigger. Zerg can just throw down another hatch and pump drones cause the 2-3 cannons just delayed push by a lot especially that early in the game. The game also hasn't been thought out on a lot of aspects. Think about the fact that those zerg builds (such as the ~7-8 roach + ling reinforcements rush off of ~26 drones), they were developed pretty recently despite the roach being even better back in beta. Similarly, in the last patch if you look at the decreased sentry build time off the gateway and the increased warpgate time, maybe protosses should experiment with halluc first while chronoing out sentries and then getting warp gate tech at least while that roach bust is so popular
I hope you are right that there are better builds and maybe people will post them. I really hate losing to no skill ling/roach rush. My 10 year old bro can attack move with the 8 roach/ling rush. Yet people need good forcefield to stop it. One misclick, gg you just lost your nexus+sentries and the game. It just seem so stupid the level of micro required is so different.

I think he went DT opening because it is good versus the new ling/roach bust. Slayersmin even said stargate tech+dt opening is strong versus ling/roach bust. But the problem is because toss's current builds don't give them scouting fast enough. You basically have to coinflip on guessing whether or not he is going for the anti-3 gate sentry build. If you guess wrong and zerg went standard+an decently early evo. You are just behind from investing so much in tech.

People get angry about GSL onesided finals, but know that this not only happen in SC2, it also happens in BW. The last OSL final which we had was a clear 3-0 victory and was very much onesided.
It also happens that people get to the finals with a fluke, when Best fought July Best had a relativly easy route, SC2 is no exception to this. Sometimes people just get hard opponents all the time and others get easy opponents all the time. This is no different from even the World Cup, The Netherlands in the World Cup reached the finals, yet we had a relativly easy road until we met Brazil somewhere along the way.
These things happen outside SC2 aswell.
Besides, we finally see that Zerg can be aggressive aswell in the game, mind I remind you that Bisu vs Saviour was heavily in Saviour his favour, yet Bisu at that point came up with a build that swept away Saviour 3-0.
Was it lopsided?Yes, however it has become the new standard of PvZ.
The game evolves, is that not all what we want?You can't expect topnotch games all the time, especially when the game is so new.

Soon the finals will all be Nestea, MvP, MC, and MKP, then we can be happy

Agreed. Its just that before this, we had one-sided,non inspiring finals as well. Except GSL2, we never had a close finals, so i guess its quite frustrating. Its frustrating for gom as well, trying to hype up,production etc only to have it end dissapointingly.

NaDa vs. Nestea would have been much better. But thats what happens when you all-in your way to the finals and then have to play the Detective Zerg -_-.

agreed.... unentertaining finals is annoying, but it doesn't mean SC2 is fundamentally imbalanced or poorly designed

I agree with you 100%... but its just like... so misleading to all the non-pros. I mean, how many times have you seen scrubs in lower leagues cling to words that Idra or Nestea say about zerg imbalance when they lose, even when its clear that these players are just terrible and their loss had nothing to do with balance. But they just keep quoting Idra rants, or Nestea interviews. It definitely is a sly and smart way to go about it to prevent spreading the notion that your race is OP, but mannnn I don't like these silly balance politics that all the players play... T_T

I almost felt sorry for InCa, there was nothing he could do there.
NesTea is a monster.

Bathing in the tears of protoss feels so good Nestea too good
