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.

Him beating MC was because of MC played bad rather than HongUn playing really good. HongUn is still decent, but there are a lot of Protoss better than him.

Stargate play will never work on a zerg who knows how to drone that well. Protoss players need to start playing stargates with bisu/sage style instead of following up with a timing attack. Stargate harrassments work so much better when you have ground units killing queens and spores.

I think you are right. Did you see Tester's games?
Being a ho doesn't automatically make you "immoral" or a bad person, but it does make you a ho.

I think the only player he's even lost a Bo5 to has been MVP.

Wrong, he lost to oGsTOP in the ro8 in the super tournament.


I also think it's worth noting that when he lost to MVP one of the games was on close positions old shakuras, so that game wasn't really fair. Also blistering sands.


Nestea has lost before, otherwise he'd soon to be 9th time champion. Even the gods get hurt sometime.

REALLY? Cause mc has never won against decent Zergs with 3base + hmmmm

It's impossible. Protoss have to go all-in every PvZ if they want to win. It is known.

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.


And Hong Un made one huge defensive mistake in leaving the path from the natural to the third completely clear. He made a wall on the far side but let Zerg just walk in his front door.

i don't play much 1v1 ladder anymore,
but is anyone else just enjoying tuning in to see how nestea is suddenly destroying who he thought he might be weak to?

+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.


You're an idiot. Broodlords fling broodlings, which deal initial 20 + 2per up FLYER DAMAGE. Broodlings do their individual damage afterwards.

Uhh, regardless of how good hongun's PvZ is, which I don't think is "very good", he's far far far far below nestea and that's a fact everyone can agree on so pointing at these games and looking for places to whine is a pretty stupid idea.

Yea,he is the best zerg because he is smart.Hongun is a player that does the same tactic over and over and Nestea just exploits it.He is skipping speed early(which if Hongun was smart he would exploit it),Nestea is just making so many cuts in the play to get so far ahead because Hongun is letting him to do that.If the toss would have 6 gated him the last game the zerg would be dead.But again Nestea actually scouts and reacts unlike Hongun.

why oh why didnt they send him out vs qxc! i know he was preparing for the individual tournament but surely he still could have rolled fxo without revealing anything! guy is just a boss..


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"

...that's what I said. Unless you were talking to the originator of the quote chain.

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.


Idk, I think DRG might be better than Losira by a little, but he hasn't had as much exposure so it's hard to tell.

What he"s saying is that Hongun needs to turtle and macro more.

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.


whenever nestea plays, the crowds are usually that big.

As big of a MC fan I am, I don't think he'd fare much better against Nestea if he does his usual air opening (that he uses every game against zerg now). Hongun is already playing REALLY well - Tastosis themselves can't even think of what he needs improvement on. Hongun needs to do some all in cheeses to have a chance. His standard play is already surprisingly solid, but its just no match against Nestea.

A mediocre protoss doesnt get to round of 4. A mediocre protoss doesnt beat MC last round.

Hongun shoudnt give him to drone that hard both game, its ok, we all expect Nestea to steamroll over him, but at least try some 6 gate push next game, dont go without fighting..crowd wants some blood! Tho nothing bad with seeing Nestea swarming over poor opponents
MC:" 2nd game i all in, he drone he drone, me win."
