+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.


As others have been trying to point out, this is wrong. Broodlords do damage with the initial volley as they launch the Broodlings, which is what the flyer attack upgrades.

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.

Then is it also worth noting that MVP also 4-0d Nestea right before that GSL at the Gainward Tourney? He went 7-1 vs him in like a month span. You can't blame that on maps

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.


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





let me add another thing: a mediocre protoss won't stay in code s since the beginning. hongun's one of the most consistent code s player and he hasn't even dropped to code a.

hongun is highly underrated, damn.

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?

Nestea actually loses quite a bit in practice by his own admission. But that's what makes him so good. He's seen and lost to pretty much everything that's out there and has figured it out in his head.

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


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


So your saying he needs to practice with col.Cruncher?

Like it or not, that's probably one of (if not the best) ways to beat a zerg. Cruncher does it right, just defend defend defend until you get that "death ball" and try to kill the zerg in one blow.

Hongun always upsets, like versus MC I knew HongUn could screw my liquibet like several times before, lol. HongUn will win this with 3-2, even though NesTea is the zerg king.

Also think Byun wins 3-1.

Think your going to have to eat your words about hongun in about 20 or so minutes.

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.

hongun got 3-0ed by lastshadow in Zotac...

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


Sorry, he raped MC by 4-gating in 3 match up where MC wasn't totally prepare well for a 4 Gate Allin from HongUh as HongUh did said he hates to us 4 Gate.

That's your excuse? MC may have played bad but how can you not expect the most basic pvp build that he himself used a lot? I'm pretty sure that the two best PvZ ratio (in GSL games not korean weeklys or tournaments like that) are MC and HongUn.

Hongun just isnt using his chronoboost enough on probes. His probe count is always too lows. It should never ever be 70 drones vs 44 if you forge FE. I've tested this quite a bit and if you continually chrono boost probes you can actually be only 10-15 behind which makes for a much easier late game. That being said I feel an extra 10-12 probes would have been able to change any midgame fights and allowed hongun to reinforce far easily.

Theres a reason why players like MC can actually go toe-to-toe with zergs without 6/7 gates pressure because they actually continually chronoboost probes. Honguns micro that game was quite fantastic and his early defense was sufficicent, but fundamental mechanics are wedging a line between him and MC(which sort of explains why Hong-Un was able to beat MC in PvP because things like chronoing probes is sort of less important to things like micro).

I won't be surprised it was private/practice matches, Nestea does seem to be on good terms with FXO. They went out for dinner after the IM-FXO match on Friday.

The DPS increase is only .8

It's not even worth it.

If he was getting +2 flyer attack it was for either muta or corruptor transition.

He had a ridiculous economy and a lot of money banked, he could get whatever the hell he wants and be okay

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.


Volume can also be increased by increasing the mass of each person present in the crowds. So maybe everyone attending is just getting fatter. Just sayin'.

I can see QXC beating Nestea convincingly since QXC won't allow Nestea to drone at all with his constant aggression.

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


yea pretty much lol, he is a monster as you can see in pretty much every series
IMNestea's biggest fan.
