Ok, the VODs were up, and we were both right

There were 2 pylons, one on the low ground, one on the high ground. Watch that game again. NONE of the DTs deviated to give view to the low pylon, the new DTs were warped in because of the pylon in the high ground

That is a huge mistake from Nestea

I think the IM coach had the right strategy. Realistically DRG was the only threat. They threw a protoss sniper at him, using up his favorite map, then a zerg perfectly capable of beating him, then the best terran. They would have used nestea last if needed. You can't plan for a random protoss killing the two best players in the world on a team known for relying entiely on DRG.

nice move -_-

What? They send out MVP first before DRG's worn out and DRG wins. Then what? He'll run through everyone not named NesTea, and even that would be close. And it's not like they sent out bad players, YongHwa and LosirA are both great players.

For once, the IM coach sent out the right players at the right time.

I gotta agree with this. Before today, would you believe that a code B player playing a struggling race would win against arguably the best Terran and the best Zerg in a row? They planned against DRG because it's a known fact that MVP relies on him heavily. There's no way they could have seen Tails coming.

I'm not sure why people are second guessing the IM coach's decisions. DRG has proven fallible to protoss several times in the past including his last code A season where I think it was JYP knocked him out in round of 16 so sending a protoss to face him was not a bad idea. That fails so they send Losira, whom most would say has better ZvZ than coca and coca beat DRG at mlg. Because Losira and Nestea play somewhat similar style this also allows Nestea to see how DRG responds to that style and formulate a way to exploit any flaws he sees. Losira loses a very back and forth game and then MVP goes out to crush face. Could they have sent him out sooner, of course, should they, maybe; however it's not like their lineup lacked sense it just didn't happen to pan out.


NSHoSeo is the next challenge for team MVP and I kind of want to see Seal vs DRG just for the creep spread.

It is a HUGE risk to send out MVP against DRG because he is a TvZ monster.

The pylon was on the lowground and got vision in the misty area. Nestea did target it, but was barely too late. Well executed two-prong attack from Tails.

Not really, when a team send his ace, you send a sniper.

Not when the other team sends his ACE out early. Snipers do NOT have a better chance of beating an ACE than your own ACE. If DRG was last, then sure, send out your snipers to wear him down. But when he is 2nd to last and you have a MASSIVE lead, send in your ACE to make sure there is NO chance you are losing. Again, look at Prime vs ST and see how Prime wasted no time in removing Bomber with Marineking even though they had a 4:2 lead. You simply can't fodder in team league. DRG is especially hard to snipe anyway, it isn't like MMA who is Protoss weak, Bomber who is BM weak and Marineking who is TvT weak. DRG is solid so you send in the guy that pratically never loses when playing solid.

IM have this final boss mentality for their best players which makes them overreliant.

I just had a look. Around when he started the attack on the gold, he sent a probe to place a pylon on the low ground, then sent it straight into the main to place a pylon in the main. That finished around the same time as the DTs started heading towards the main

Nestea seems too have sent some Zerglings, but too late

Isn't that what I said? >.> I said they acted properly against MVP by focusing on beating DRG. They didn't have an answer to Tails because who the hell would lol
