Just no....

I'll agree on Xel'naga but that's it.

I strongly doubt idra called Blistering favored for zerg. I distinctly remember him bitching about it. Hell, he lost that map narrowly to MVP himself in gsl3 because of the advantageous siege positions that terrans have over the gold on that map. Furthermore, this is one of the maps that was highly prone to the double bunker wall off. The reason we have a supply depot at the ramp now in the gsl and the reason nestea lost this one.

The fact that he even had a fighting chance against MVP on basin should be a testament to his skill. I doubt the mutas would have saved him anyway.

Yea maybe shakuras 1.1 was a coin flip, and it landed in MVP's favor with those positions.

Finally, do you even watch the gsl? He 2-0'd ensnare with mass infestors, the games were not even close. Against Happy, the game was closer than it needed to be only because nestea got too overzealous. Top played super cheesy, and it even looked like nestea would come back after losing almost everything on bel'shir. Funny thing is, he actually DID come back after losing a hatchery and a ton of drones in the next game. MMA outplayed him admittedly :/

Yeah I watch GSL LOL

IdrA often picked Blistering against Terrans early in BoX because he liked it ZvT and surprised me when he explained why on SotG (The Terran being slightly helpless against Ling/Muta styles once Z gets to 3base). You even saw IdrA act on what he said by rushing to 3base on Ling/Speedbane on that map against Mvp and getting the crap abused out of him by Mvp's sieged tanks (like he should be).

NesTea said in an interview that he played Infestors against Ensnare because he felt so helpless. Sorry but NesTea who is heralded the God of Zerg feeling helpless coming up to a match against Ensnare, whose sole accomplishment is pretty much an all-kill in Beta using Reapers, is pretty ridiculous. Yes NesTea is humble, but in reality he shouldn't even have to practice or think about BOs in order to slap a Terran of Ensnare's caliber down. Ensnare played plain wrong against the Infestor style and opened himself up to get overrun, instead of emphasizing drops & expansions.

Also TOP didn't play super cheesy LOL
I urge you to take your bias-hat off and try and look at games objectively. TOP opened with a simple hellion into banshee harass-heavy into expand BO and NesTea had huge trouble holding it off. Even Line, who TOP faced then had more success against that build, maybe NesTea should check out the Dual Sight game in order to learn how to hold it ... I mean walling against Hellions with a ling WTF?

NesTea said afterwards that he didn't get any sleep the night before, but combined with his huge troubles agains Terran (83% of his losses come from Terran), that surely wasn't the only reason.

Edit: Also NesTea was never coming back on Bel'Shir, I was actually completely floored when I saw that he couldn't hold a simple bunker rush.
