he lost because he executed it poorly.

There is more than strategy in SC .

if you make a mistake like mismicroing all your banelings into a queen your probably going to lose if your strategy hinged on doing economic damage.

For you yes. For me, this is what I used to play several months ago. Koreans are very behind in zvz metagame.

hahhahhaahhaha you can't actually be serious


14gas, 14pool into speedling/bane without scouting the opponent is a build done since beta and used to be the most common zvz build. For Tasteless it was something totally new and apparently some of you agree with him.
Korean zvz is just a lot of gamble, but I'm not going to explain you how zvz works now.

I just usually vote if you have time unless its actually a good close game with some sexy builds/micro/strategy.

Or no when its shit like a lot of the time.

Sounds like how I vote for every matchup.

How was it done in beta when I feel like that was a dual-sight only strategy?

Apart from Metalopolis, what other maps can you expand to gold? Doing it on metal is just dumb because of watchtowers, xnc has rocks and there really isn't any other maps that have gold expos apart from belshir which has rocks blocking the gold too. It's just a Dual-Sight only strategy, and a great way to open up the match.

You say that Koreans are behind in ZvZ when NesTea is the king of Zerg? kk

wasting all your banelings = blind countered?


1 base roach vs 1 base baneling = blindcountered.

He focused down 2 of the 4 banelings with roaches, and then the other 2 may have misfired on the queen, but they were still in range of the newly spawned roaches. I don't think they were going to get to the drones.

Which is why zvz is so bad to play. Might as well flip a coin at the start of the match.


It wasn't a conflip. You don't hatch first on Xelnaga.

It's not even funny how much better Nestea is, yes Cocas strat in game 2 was extremly well thought out, but porly executed and the way Nestea dealed with it and managed to get the win just shows why he is a 2 times champion and why coca will not make it father than the round of 8.
Given that after the next game (which should finish the series 3 - 0) we'll get the worst mirror matchup in the game which will probably result in a lot of 4 gating and games that don't get past the 10 minute mark, this day should be just as short as yesterday. Tomorrows PvZ and TvT should promise more action though.

Jaedong, Fruitdealer for a while, Nestea... god

How Fruitdealer for a while? He didn't play a single GSL ZvZ until Season 3, after NesTea had replaced him as best zerg.


well then he didn't lose any ZvZs in the first season, amirite?

nope, execution. If those banes hit the drones instead of the queen, nestea probably woulda gg'ed out.


Nestea would've just pulled the drones...and targeted the 4-5 banelings with the queen and the 3 incoming roaches.

Beautiful trick play by Coca but it was risky, if it was executed beautifully it could have actually won him the game.
Nestea is an utter beast.
Wishing you well.

Holy hell zvz has become close to unwatchable now, I feel like I enjoy pvp more now.


And it's the only matchup you play on the ladder too, makes playing and watching completely unenjoyable. Was hoping to actually learn something from tonight's games. :-/

Really? I feel like the games you learn the best from are those between two players of close skill level. Here we have considered the greatest ZvZ player vs a player who is winless in ZvZ in televised games. With Losira still in the tournament, I doubt Nestea is going to throw out any groundbreaking strategies. If you want to learn ZvZ through nestea playing epic games, pray for that as a finals. Even then, though, we would have to see if Losira is up for the challenge. Puma and MC said they are practice partners, and that turned out pretty epic. Nestea plays with Losira all the time
