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.



Then every protoss is mediocre.

Look at Sage's highly aggressive PvZ from the GSTL, and then look at HongUn's aggression in this series. HongUn is passive as shit.

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



Inca got to the finals and he is quite mediocre, being only good at PvP, cheesing in PvT and just being bad at PvZ.

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.

Well Inca made it to the finals, and I think it's pretty undisputed that that was one of MC's worst GSL performances... Sometimes you just get lucky

Hongun made it to 4 GSL quater-finals. This guy is actually insanely good. The fact that he looks like a gold-level player in this series, shows how good Nestea actually is.

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.

Then don't watch it.

Soorry but honghun played so badly, he didnt basically nothing ,letting nestea dronning like crazy.
He just stayed in his base and lost


Nestea is doing amazing scouting and is playing it safe until he CAN drone up. Hongun is playing very well, his force fields and unit compositions haven't been bad at all either. Where he's lacking is his strategies and this continual need to use stargates that Nestea is countering easily. The other problem is that Nestea is just doing great creating more time for himself to tech and drone up, and he builds good amounts of stationary defense, unlike most Zergs that seem to be giving away a piece of their soul to build an extra spore or spine crawler.

MC wouldn't be playing this any better, he hasn't gone very far in the GSL or beaten his fellow Koreans in a tournament ever since 6 gate timing pushes have been somewhat countered. Not to say he's playing bad all of a sudden or his late game is awful, but he's just not dominating the way he used too and he hasn't won a tournament in a while. Nestea is just playing amazing and Hongun needs to stop with the Stargate tech (which MC does a lot against Zerg as well) and try for a different direction in tech and units.

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.


I very much doubt that. QXC might have beat Nestea once or twice on ladder... but who the fuck uses the ladder as a accurate source for training?


I believe NesTea said he only uses ladder to play funky style and never serious, just trying to face all the cheeses there is.

I think HongUn plays really good, but NesTea is one of those few zergs like DRG that plays on a whole different level.


Yeah, if nestea played so brilliantly, then what did hongun do? Trying not to cry imba, but its hard to imagine playing any better than HongUn just did. Perfect FF's (holy crap those were good), good timing on 3rd base, but still not even remotely CLOSE to a win.

Maybe stargate isnt the way to go? But then again, we saw nestea hold off a 7gate pretty easily. Not many more options it seems like...7gate with or without blink/obs is strongest all-in that hits around zerg 3rd base timing and it doesnt work if dealt with properly. Its just down hill from there for the toss
. Cant wait for some toss to revolutionize the matchup, but right now it seems so one-sided.

Like people have been saying, you can't let Nestea get 80 drones by like 10 minutes. You have to harass/force units out to keep his drone count down.

+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.


Please don't comment on things u know nothing about.

There are far too many tells to pull off a 6-gate against someone like Nestea cross-positions on Meta.
