Yes because showmatches are obviously so comparable. Beating Nestea in a GSTL match and in a showmatch is not, in any world, the same thing.


I'd pay money to see a Huk say that to Nestea's face. Huk would need something to stand on though.


Haha, this is why I'm not a Huk fan. He just sounds so bitter.


Meh, NesTea is really cocky in interviews and such, you'd expect different given his age.

Not the confident cocky either like MC, just straight cocky.

well as far as nestea goes i dont think hes a god like people say... i remember wolf i think saying qxc was beating nestea on ladder all the time or something like that. obviously his strength is planning strategies when he has a lot of time but above average when it comes to impromtu matches

People mainly say Nestea is a "god" because it is a running chuck norris-esque joke from tasteosis. Clearly one of the very top players at the moment but we all know no one is untouchable right now.

Yeah nestea definitely needs to prepare for matches to do well.
Hes all about the strategy and not so much on mechanics.

Actually his strategy was fine. He just made two huge micro mistakes that cost him the game.

Well, Huk could have played Nestea in the Ro16.

But then he lost to Virus twice.

which builds Tails did vs MVP to counter the 111 ??


He didn't counter "the 111". He countered a variation with cloaked banshees, that did zero damage. Also MVP had no Raven while Tails had quite a bunch of Stalkers. Anyways, it was a 2 Stalker pressure into contain with 3 Gates into Expo and Robo. He defended with Immortals, many Stalkers, Sentries and Zealots.

Kinda sad how GSTL can have four series, three of them finals, go to the ninth game while the GSL Finals has only had two series out of ten that have gone to the sixth game.


No love for Slayers/MvP? Dat DRG/MMA showdown to start their rivalry.


I can't believe there's so little for IM vs ST, that was sooooo good.

Tails absolutely got a deserved win against MvP.

Tails did not get a deserved win against Nestea. But Nestea got a very deserved loss against Tails.

I think a lot of people missed this. NesTea was going to lose that Lair either way. He was still in a decent position, though. It was the silly failed drop attempt that lost him the game.

He really isn't.

Also no need to be angry at huk, he's just talking shit as usual. It's part of his humor.

The build Tails used to defend the 1/1/1 was a 2 gate opening into expansion, followed up by a robo for obs( and eventually immortals), scouted the 1/1/1, made 4 more gates, cut probes at 40, and then made pure units and held with good target firing. He saw a lot of banshees by MVP so he made a stargate to produce phoenix that completely countered the air


So there was a build that could counter the 1/1/1. Don';t understand all the protoss whining when the build was yet to be discovered.


immortal range and fixed GS wouldve made a huge difference... tho tails did mess up control a little with zealots in the back etc, not sure if it wouldve worked pre-patch.. with better control maybe

Why are everyone hyping Tails? It was really Nestea that made 2 MAJOR mistakes that cost him the game. Tails really didn't do anything.



You should just stop being a hater. Tails beat Nestea, who is godly at ZvP.


There's being a hater, and then there's taking a step back and looking at the fact that Nestea let those DTs into his main after he knew they were there. That wasn't godly play, that was a huge mistake that gave Tails a huge edge.

That didn't really give him a huge edge...NesTea had the most delayed upgrades ever, and then the army in the overlords.


Did no one else see the DT's barely walk by the roaches/lings? That wasn't timing, that was blind luck. A one second difference would've been game.

Nestea made lots of mistakes. Tails didn't make mistakes. Tails played better than nestea. Tails outplayed nestea. Tails won. Tails deserved it. It's not "luck", it's nestea making a ton of mistakes.


No, the DT's getting in the main is the definition of luck. Tails outplayed Nestea, that's why he won. But part of that outplaying relied on luck.

It's not the definition of luck. He should've been ready for DT's but he wasnt, thats a huge mistake. Stop calling everything luck.


But that is the definition of luck, his push got shut down, he warped in mass DT and HOPED that there was no spore there, Nestea made a mistake, but tails' final plan there was reliant on luck, spore in main = tails is deaaaaad. Obviously its a deserved win and all, but to say it didn't rely on luck is silly.


i think there was a pylon in nesteas main so obv he wld still have been able to do a ton of damage.
But if there was a spore in nesteas main, mvp tails would look like ogs inca.
Shows you how close the differences are among these pro players.

Well, he should really have killed the pylon that was sitting in his main....

That would have made sense, right?
