PvZ is such a boring matchup in SC2, just lacks something.

Nestea tho ZMOG he is good.


actually PvZ isn't bad,HongUn fails to deliver on his end.


I duno, just seems to lack something, the builds both the toss and zerg can do aren't really interesting

Players should be happy Nestea isn't the one being sent to MLG and appearing at other foreign tournaments or he'd be raking in more cash than already he is. He seems to be the most consistent player out there and continually stays at the top, and is probably the best player in the world right now if he keeps this up.

The funny thing is that every other zerg that tries to drone like that and then faces stargate into a gateway timing always gets stomped. NesTea is just in a league of his own when it comes to drone timing it seems.

Most tosses those other zergs face try to attack before 80 drones/3base are up/they have like 9 phoenixes as well.

indeed, hydras only become redundant when colossus/HT come into play
if the protoss goes any of those you can only do a hydra timing push around ~9-10mins

Most Zergs are also too afraid to make enough spines and spores because god forbid they have to waste a drone

NesTea you beautiful baller. How. Did. You. Hold. That?

By having more stuff, better composition and just letting your units sit there?

His army was quite a bit smaller than HongUn, it was all the spines.

HongUn let him get 80 drones without doing anything. You really can't do that as Protoss.


HongUn consistenyl killed drones while Nestea remained at 80 drones. Its not HongUn's fault Nestea is a GodZerg.

No he started harassing too late. You don't harass WHEN zerg has 80 drones, you harass so he has to make units and not drones. Waiting until zerg is on 3base before you do anything is never smart.


This man hit the nail on the head. To slow the drone count down you need to force units.

All phoenixes (a huge investment in those numbers) force is a few spores (6-10 larvae for the drones). They also make the Zerg secure that the ground attack is not coming right away so he can pump drones like a madman.

nestea showed the perfect counter to this play: mass hydras vs stargate and gateway units, the key was to delay the push with the roaches at the natural, perfectly outplayed the protoss here

forge expand gives zerg a free 3rd. if you 6-gate he can drone to 50 for free, if you go stargate he can drone to 80 for free.


Clearly you have to 4 or 5 gate in order to expand.

That was beauteful I still have no idea how he held there amazing just amazing.

If a protoss FFE's I can delay gas and drone harder. Lesson learned. Nestea is so amazing I want to have his babies.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon

If he wouldn't have seen that first stargate would have been close.


From what I've seen of Korean zergs, it's fairly standard to just prepare for stargate play anyways. I see plenty of zergs in the iccup weekly not see a stargate at all and still defend it just fine. The double stargate was a bit of a surprise, and it did damage because he didn't scout 2 stargates. Basically: it's either stargate, or blink stalker in the korean toss metagame generally.

That said, Nestea is bossmode and the key reason he defended it was a ling on the bottom catching the pheonix plus being Nestea.
Never argue with an idiot. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
