TOP played really well, as did Nestea, that middle game was absolutely insane and Idra could take a couple lessons on his gg timing there. TOP deserved the wins, those were some solid pushes and great macro. Nestea's drone control on the first game could have been a little better and he would have won ... That being said it's unfortunate we have to see so much TvT now. | ||

So much live reporting, even in pictures. No balance whine. Why not just continue with it? Top did nothing special to win against Nestea (imo). Good games and the winner really won with better play (well it´s everytime this, can´t stop cheese? you don´t deserve to win. Don´t want to say TOP cheesed. Strait up games imo) It was the best LR thread if have seen for... well I guess since I registered. So sad now (well, not so much whine now, but now I want to express it) | ||

TOP isn't an overly cheesy player, but he certainly did resort to some cheesy banshee play against Nestea. Sad to see him win. Seriously? He won that game because he got lucky with a baneling mine, not because outskilling Top somehow or something. I definitely think Nestea is a better player overall, but face it, he played terrible today - whatever the reasons. And it's kind of sad how everyone keeps bashing Top because he beat Nestea - you'd think after taking a win like this a guy would get more credit, not suddenly become the 'worst ever' - it's not like he's some kind of a noname either, he's had some amazing results in the past, and while this match was definitely an upset, it's definitely not nearly as surprising to me as it seems to be to other people out here. I mean, Bomber doesn't have half the Top's accomplishments in GSL, and it's not like he's pulling amazing games left and right or anything - yet everyone goes OMG BOMBER!!! because Tastosis hyped him up or something; and if Bomber beat Nestea, I don't think anyone would be throwing rocks at him - yet when a guy with a Code A win and a 4-0 series against friggin' MC does it, suddenly he's an awful cheeser just because Artosis said so. Give the guy a break, really. If anything, you should be whining at Nestea for not being able to deal with early game pressure. | ||

Pure buildorder wins, I mean christ look at game 2 where he does 0 micro on his units, and yeah that'd be okay if he was busy macroing but the guy killed off half of nesteas workers and still lost a macrogame... Rofl, wtf. Ya let's just make barracks at 52 supply and cc at 13 14 15 16 17 AND 18. | ||

I really don't get why people keep saying this. How is mining up chokes to punish your opponent for not scanning or making a Raven getting lucky? Some of them were duds, some of them got scanned, but the ones that worked out were because of intelligent placement and errors on Top's part. | ||

Line outplayed and outsmarted Nada. Don't believe me forget everything you know about all those players and only watch the games played today, look me in the eyes and tell me otherwise. Its sad how artosis bias hype made some players seem better then they are and others seem worse then they are, but fortunately the games(muted) speak for themselves. | ||

That one was incredibly lucky because right at the moment Top scanned the Banelings exploded. | ||

Not saying it's not a smart thing to do or anything - but to be quite fair, it's very hard for a Terran player to fight something like that. No, making a Raven isn't an option - with 30 mutas on the map, the Raven will NOT stay alive for any length of time anyway, and you'll just waste 200 gas on nothing. Don't get me wrong, I think NesTea handled game 2 very well and I'm not out to say that was an undeserved win or something - after the fumbled opening, he did great to recover and turn it around; but damn, it sucks seeing people claim a burrowed baneling is the most skillful thing ever witnessed by man while taking out 20 drones with a banshee is LOL CHEESE NOOB; as if commentators being horribly biased about it because they have a mancrush on NesTea isn't bad enough. | ||
