NesTea happened


The GSL crowds have been growing in size and volume for the last few weeks. I think MLG and NASL finals hurt their Korean pride, and now they're stepping it up.

Nestea literally went pure drones and got his lair like 10 minutes into the game....
any composition without harass would have still won the game because hongun went voidray/pheonix which was stopped easily. If the toss 6gated, it would have been harder to stop


He would have seen the Gates, though, on his scouting and gone heavy roach. HongUn isn't hiding enough tech to concern Nestea to play a non-safe, super macro game.

In PvZ, if a Protoss wants to Forge FE like that, they've gotta play it more like TvZ, where you go all the way to the "deathball" style, making it very hard to break.

So what you're saying is that Hongun should proxygate him...lol

Protoss need to stop doing these forge expand into really fast stargate, Zerg has figured out how to defend it too well and get way ahead

MC played terrible and deserved to lose. Just like how badly Zenio played. Also Supernova's fault for forgetting how to play the game in the middle of his match.

...

hongun is playing well, but nestea is on another level.

if mc wanted to be in the semi-final, maybe he should've focused on beating hongun rather than ignoring hongun and focusing on nestea.

FXOBoSS said on Choya's stream that QXC beats Nestea in practice and that he didn't expect IM to send NesTea out.

ehhh....I think any pro/decent player can occasionally take games off anyone else but in a tourney setting it's probably different. Also consider on ladder that Nestea probably isn't showing his best strats cause you don't want to reveal those to the world.


best nestea practices against fxo...right?

I dont' think nestea likes to show his strategies in practice/ladder games. Most the games we see out of him are this weird composition...Who here has ever gone zergling/infestor/baneling against chargelot/archon.

Also, MC is probably shaking his head saying.."that coulda been me getting destroyed"

This is why you see so many 6 gates vs. Zerg lol.


Exactly. People dont understand WHY 4gate and FE 6gate is so common, but if you DONT do that, you basically have no chance vs a decent zerg in the mid-late game.



God please keep the balance discussion out >.<


This is not a balance discussion,that was stating a fact.You have to go almost allin against a mid game zerg that is about to start massing infestors or mutas.


It IS balance discussion. Just because you can't play defensively and make cannons and templar, doesn't mean it can't be done.

FYI: you're watching the best zerg [and player] in the world vs. a mediocre protoss.

HongUn is not a mediocre protoss at all lol.
He has a very good PvZ and has raped MC like it was easy.


HongUn is mediocre.
he basically did no harassment, letting droning neastea all game long.

I guess you're not really paying attention or know how the game works, but when you have the clear macro advantage and can lay a killing blow with the units you have, regardless of "unit counters", you do it, so he did.

+2 flyer attack, preparing for broods at a guess


Broodlords do not benefit from flyer attacks, only from flyer carapace. Also, broodlings are affected by melee upgrades.


The broodlord attack is called broodling strike and it does 20 damage, each time a broodlord launches the broodling at something the impact of the broodling hitting does the 20 damage, each + flier attack gives +2 damage.

Broodlords don't attack, they shot broodlings, who does the MELEE attacks.
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

So far with what I have seen, MC is the only Korean protoss that can go toe-to-toe with Zergs in macro games.


Which is weird because it's hard to be a protoss "macro god" because all you can do is chronoboost probes and make one after another, yet he seems to almost always match zerg drone counts. Maybe it'd be different if he was facing Nestea.

kinda hard to macro when lings are constantly in your mineral lines and your nexuses are getting sniped...

It also doesn't matter if you don't micro when you have 4 bases and Hongun can't get a third up.

FXOBoSS said on Choya's stream that QXC beats Nestea in practice and that he didn't expect IM to send NesTea out.

But Nestea admitted that he messes around all the time in practice and on the ladder to feign weakness. If you remember before the Nestea sCfOu games, sC was like... I beat Nestea all the time on the ladder. I think he'll be really easy. Then after the games sC said it was like facing a completely different person


This. Nestea would never show his true strength in practice or on ladder. It would just be unfair for everyone.

It's also summer and the GSL is getting bigger with more recognition.

Please oh please don't let it be ZvZ final. But i guess that would be fitting, considering the history of GSL finals.. :/

We don't get to see alot of ZvZ. I for one, would LOVE to see a ZvZ between the two best zergs in the world, in a bo7.


Why do you hate everyone? ZvZ finals is the worst thing you can wish on anyone.

When you play a zerg like Nestea as protoss, you should always have a sentry by every nexus to forcefield wall-off your sim city. How many games does NesTea win just because he has great zergling harass when the P is on 3+ bases. Or, wall off completely each base.

since nestea is the god of zvz, it pretty much makes him unstoppable in tournaments.
