It was depressing to see empty audiences last month.

And again, this GSL's bracket should make the first very sick final. Even if I can see Nestea roflstomp any terran 4-0 in the finals sadly.


What?

NesTea is strong but "4-0 any terran?"

I would be more surprised if he actually DOES beat top terrans, they are overalls more strongly represented in korea.

NesTea is lucky the top ones knocked themselves out.

Let's look at the remaining terrans. Hmm, the best one seems to be Bomber. Do you remember the last time NesTea and Bomber played? It was so embarrassing I almost cried.


Layoff the exaggeration. Nestea did beat Bomber but overall, it was not like the 2 embarrassing Code A matches we had today.

I'm not saying the games were bad, I'm saying NesTea won in a very convincing way. In the first game he had 101 drones at the 12 minute mark and won the game by throwing away small groups of ultralisks.

What happened in the final two TvT games, I missed them both. Where they roflstomps or close games? WTF happened to Nada!

They were somewhat close, but perhaps because TvTs tend to be close. Nada was way outplayed in both games.

The first game of the Polt Bomber game was extremely good, I'll put it as one of the more memorable matches GSL has produced. But then the 2nd game is not worth it, unless you enjoy genocide.

Predicting the future:
Nestea 3-1 Coca
MC 3-0 HongUn
Losira 3-1 Trickster
Bomber 3-2 Byun (but Byun us looking very strong so not sure)

So want a MC vs. Bomber rematch


MC v Bomber rematch without the SCV congo line!

Or that tank/raven/banshee all in. God I hate Terran cheese. Not that I hate cheese per se its just terran has more cheese options.


Realistically at a top level, I think all races have many 'cheesy' options (not cheese, as the marine/raven/banshee allin isn't cheese). Don't make this a "omg terran have more" thing. They don't. Protoss have many all-in/'cheesy' options such as 2gate proxy, 4gate, DTs, 3gate-VR (probably the best analogue of the raven allin), etc. that have been used at a high level. Zerg have the Roach/Ling Allin/aggression off 1-2base, 6-10pool, or the fast lair 2 base hydra drop allin vs P, amongst other things, baneling busts of varying sorts...

Not anymore.
2 gate was weakened by zealots at 38 seconds.
4 gate was weakened by slower warpgate
DT's always been pretty weak against terran early

Why you think MC doesnt all in anymore vs T?

Without perfect scouting the 3 rax all in and raven/tank/banshee is impossible to hold for toss which is how Bomber beat MC.

There is still plenty of cheese you can run on a Zerg though.

This, both nestea and MC have a weakness to the top top terrans.

I don't think that NesTea has a weakness to top terrans at all....
It may be his worst matchup (with 60% win I might add) but when you are as good as NesTea, that's barely even a weakness.
imo, this is his tournament to lose.

everyone said the same last ST,yet Nestea still fell to TOP and TOP didnt play gawdly either. I would say it's 50-50 if he gets to face MC/Bomber.All three are the best in their respective race. (I would say bomber's defeat was due to nerve and he didnt play up to his potential)


Not really. Bomber's TvZ is pretty damn bad, relative to his other matchups. Just look at his recent results (losing to NesTea, dropping games to Haypro, then Moon, then Destiny, etc.). His Korean ELO in TvZ is not indicative of anything except for a small sample size and outdated games.

I'd say that TOP has a much better TvZ than Bomber. Ergo, NesTea is pretty much a lock to win, unless Coca can pull something out of a hat. Seriously, if the GSL teaches us anything, it's that we should be more afraid of huge underdogs knocking out top players than anything else.

The problem is that if you don't go lings at first it's hard to reinforce with pure lings as you are usually larva starved at that point and can't make the critical amount of lings needed to surround the stalkers ball.

losira's zvp style is sick good too, but it's less about the unit composition than about his mechanics

has morrow actually lost a televised zvp series since he switched to doubleling style?

No.

The game 1 was good and close, yes, game 2 was embarrassing. (I would not use this term but I understand someone can use it. I'd say it was a one sided stomp)

Actually I'm pretty sure both times he lost to MC he was using ling baneling...so yeah.

I don't know... NesTea played sloppy in that series, and still almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in GSL history. Just because a player loses one series doesn't automatically make them bad at that match up, players are allowed to have bad days.

Yes there is a possibility that NesTea would lose to Bomber or MC but I think NesTea is rightly the favrourite in against Bomber and MC, so it is his to lose.

Either way, I just hope to see two of the three in the final so we can hopefully have a finals that lives up to all the hype.

hmm he used roach/ling in 2 games and went all-in in game 3
e: he is actually 21-4 in vP since 23rd may, only dropping one series to socke (after a night where he supposedly didn't sleep) + he destroyed every toss at mlg c-bus and literally raped nani at wcg qualifiers

You do realize that they're on the same side of the bracket, right?

...and seriously, NesTea isn't losing that one, sorry. I give a bigger chance for NesTea to lose to Coca than MC.

rofl come on MC is best pvz but he has a worse chance of winning than 0 percent zvz? That is literally the most absurd thing ive ever read on this forum. MC has beaten nestea already.

MC vs Nestea will be sick, period <3 And it'll be a bo5 <3 I have no idea who will win, I could make arguments for both players. MC doesn't lose to zergs. Nestea rarely lose to protoss. They'll train specifically for each other. I'M HYPED.
