The whole point is that there are way to many people that just focus on the "old" starcraft players , the ones that were also had good results in the GSL Open's, there are just alot of new players out that which are pretty young and haven't won a championship yet, but there are definitely more players than alicia and mkp to beat nestea.

Nobody gives players like MMA, Nada or sC a chance?
I mean sC nearly beat him like last month in the best TvZ ever...

I am really happy for NesTea.

Also, it makes me laugh thinking how so many people put Bomber in their top 3 as current top players and top terran (some even forgot MKP) in the GSL fan power rank... While he is definitely a GREAT player he still has to proof himself in being a stable code S player. I believe he has been hyped immensely by Tastosis and therefore there is a wrong opinion that he should placed higher than players like MKP and Nada. Also, the argument MVP > MKP so if Bomber > MVP THEN Bomber > MKP is totally non logical as a mirror matchup does not provide a good image for the whole player.

Yes I am a MKP fan and yes it bothers me seeing people putting him in front of Bomber while it is far from truth :D

By the way.. Amazing games today.

Well, Nestea has been the best player in the world since Open Season 2, even if he "only just" earned his second gold. Anyone can beat anyone else on any given day, but the only one to consistently take series off him in the past seven months has been MVP.

Bomber is pretty much the best terran right now in Korea. No question about it. MKP has a great early game micro, but until he learns the aspects of late game (macro, mind game, map control...etc) he will always be the one who's lacking just that "something" in his game to reach the top.

About the Nestea, I think you have to at least attempt to cheese him, or show him that you are going aggressive in the early game. (which is what Bomber did in second game) Nestea's metagame is just too good when you try something like when Bomber walled in with his two bases in the first game while getting his upgrades early (Thorzain build, so to speak). Nestea knew from the start that Bomber's timing push was not going to happen anytime soon, so he could drone up like crazy while spreading his creep almost half the map while keeping up with his own upgrades. Had Nestea thought he could get a timing push with roaches or Mutas or whatever combination against Bomber's strategy, it probably wouldn't have worked. Basically, Nestea countered Bomber's strategy perfectly. I bet when Bomber was preping for this game, he never saw anyone making 4-3 upgraded mass Ultras.

Damn, MVP, Bomber, and MC out. Nestea and MKP are the clear favorites now I'd say.

Slayers vs Big 3.

only one remaining is Nestea. will Slayers be able to take out Zerg king? Or will Nestea take out of all the remaining Slayers. will be interesting to take out.

I dunno man, MKP has seemed very snipable and their are a lot of capable PvT snipers still in the brackets. Not too mention his TvT has been comfortably meh and theirs a few tvt pros left too.

Nestea on the other hand will probably win, or at least make it to the finals safely. Not many players with stellar vZ left on his side of the bracket.

that's because no one else played him more than like once in a GSL series

he got knocked out pretty early a few times, failed in WC too. Using hindsight bias relating to the most recent wins to defend that he has been the best for the past 7 months when he failed to get through the first round like 3 times in a row is idiotic
