Would love to see a ZvZ finals between NesTea and LoSirA. IIRC Byun said that his TvZ isn't very strong so I think LoSirA should have it easy. Losira's ZvT is also his weakest by a significant margin (below 50% i believe), so I wouldn't be so sure. Honestly, his ZvT is not spectacular - that's the only thing keeping him from being in multiple GSL finals. Well for this season, he defeated MarineKing 1-0 and TOP 2-1. Those games showed that his ZvT improved if anything. Byun played TvTs all the way through so his only improvement would be from unseen practice. I would still bet on LoSirA from what we've seen but I suppose the analyzing of his public games could also backfire. We will see tonight. May the best player win!
MarineKing played stupid in that game, no offense. Losira went for a very late lair with baneling nest, and MarineKing attacked with pure marine (which is one of the few ways late lair actually works out in Z's favor).
The games against TOP were better although Losira's micro left much to be desired. At least his ZvT is looking better from his ST match against Polt.
I think Nestea should win as his decision-making is way better than Zenio's. Zenio did some really questionable things like fighting with hatch tech for so long in G1.

I'd like to point out that if it is indeed Nestea vs Losira, Nestea will have an opportunity to have beaten all three races in the finals.
|
Who's ready to die? Betting my life for Nestea to win! Also Nestea only lost to san because he underestimated him and tbh everyone did back then. Also san is out of GSL and Nestea is still tops. Whatever the case Nestea will roll HongUn and put him into retirement like he wants.
|
But nobody wants to watch a ZvZ final. I think Nestea has already proved he's gosu enough to take anyone on at this point.

I don't see nestea losing to a protoss. He's never been knocked out of the tournament by a zerg or toss...sooo? History is on his side. Losira though...Idk, byun has done crazier things.
Well, not exactly, but you came quite close.
He never lost a best of 3/5/7 against Protoss. He has lost some (can't remember) best of 1 though. I personally find this record of his more impressive than his ZvZ record, which is also out-of-this-world good.

GOGO NESTEA FIGHTING!!
also i have a weird feeling byun is going to win the whole thing, but i wouldn't be sad at all if he won :D
|
After all the excitement of the last few days... we have even more exciting games coming up!!!
|
I just have a feeling that Hongun will win this GSL
|
I just wanted to note that stating a protoss and Zerg's versus Terran based on the GSL Code S is really misleading just because there are so many damn gosu terrans...

Waiting for the $10 million or death poll on Nesteas vs HongUn
I think that poll carries a curse though
I'm not sure if the poll will curse this match because I don't think this match is considered super one-sided (as the nature of the poll will suggest). i.e. MC vs HongUn and FXO vs IM had a "predictable" result. Nestea is favourite but not as clear as the other matches.

All I want is not to have a ZvZ final~

Poll: Hopefully MrCon puts it in OP (spoiler maybe if it's cluttered with too many polls).
A GomTV executive comes up to you, and offers you 10 million dollars if Hongun loses. But, if Hongun wins, you die. Do you accept?

HongUn vs Buyn in the final. I have a very strong feeling on it
|
Wow, so many people want Byun to win, I'm suprised.
I'll take that as people not wanting a ZvZ final instead of people wanting Losira to lose, lol.
|
only Byun has a chance of taking out Nestea.

I am 99% sure Nestea stomps HongUn, but from what I wrote in my preview article (should be posted soon in the news), HongUn has a guardian angel watching him. He's played absolutely awful almost the whole tournament, but he keeps winning. Supernova played a terrible game against him in the group stages to let him advance, he and Zenio played an ugly, ugly series, and then MC played pretty bad.
I can't see Nestea playing bad like those three, but HongUn is on a run of a lifetime.

well I've already died twice so why not bet again lol...

His guardian angel felt bad that he had to play through a wrist injury so it got permission to intervene.
His first game against Zenio was ok, it was the second game that sucked, but Zenio was severely jetlagged...
And MC might have played bad, but HongUn did 4 gate like a champ (game 2 was actually really good, no bad play by MC that set, he just outplayed MC then).

For Hongun, it's not that he plays up to his opponents level, it's that everyone plays down to his level or lower lol
