IM can't be bothered to think about correct strategies. If you immediately put up Nestea vs DRG, no offence DRG I love you, Nestea will slay DRG. At that point you have a 4v1. If Tails beats you 4 times in a row, you don't deserve to be in the league.


I thought at worst, you throw Losira at him first, since Losira is also great at ZvZ and if that fails you give Nestea a game to watch DRG before taking him apart.

I can understand sending MVP against him though, seeing as how he did 2-0 him in MLG and is coming off a GSL championship, and he did actually beat him today. But there was no excuse to sent YoungHwa out to die like that, they had to know that they had a plan for MVP/Nestea so forcing yourself to send them out back-to-back was just asking for it.

Although, I can see the overconfidence in IM thinking MVP / Nestea can't possibly lose to the same guy. And Tails was a hair's breadth away from having his DT gambit slammed shut (one spore in the main or a ramp block after already seeing the DTs at the gold and its over).

But still, why play around with taking DRG out?



there were not playing around, they lost plain and simple, PRevious gstls they played around, for instance when they faced Fxo where the only star player to play was mvp.

Look at who IM used and tell me if this is playing around.

-Happy = really good terran
-Losira = Top 3 zerg in the world
-Yongwa= probably best protoss in the world
-MVP= best terran in the world
-Nestea = supposedly best zerg in the world


yea it sure looks like IM was playing around!!!! lawl

Yonghwa is far from the best Protoss in the world.
Even without looking at results, I would rank Sage and JYP above Yonghwa. I'm reluctant to put HerO above him as well, but HerO is definitely more innovative. Even what we've seen recently from Oz has been very impressive
+ Show Spoiler +
You also can't rank him higher than TAiLS, he played like a monster

EDIT: I would also probably rank HuK above Yonghwa as well, even though both players are kind-of in the same spot as MC, where they haven't really evolved like the newer Protoss' have.


I agree in saying that youghwa is far from the best protoss in the world but he's still pretty damn good from what he's shown us. Taking out bomber in a macro game....is friggin sick dude. but yes, we havent seen enough of him so hopefully he gets into code A and shows us what he can actually bring to save protoss in the GSL.

Tails is ok...but the game with Nestea had a LOT of luck involved so yea. MVP game was good though

Also to comments about messing around with DRG. his worst matchup is vP and yonghwa is IM's best P anyway with solid gameplay from what we've seen in GSTL, so why not send him.

Haha, both teams to go out drinking IMO. Beer for MVP, hard hard liquor for IM. Tails gets toasted 5836937 times, Nestea and MVP are buying all the drinks that night.

Yes, and people said that it was a fluke and MMA would never win in a Best of 3, 5, 7, etc.
and then in Arena of Legends MMA 2-0'd NesTea in a Best of 3.

it's kind of silly to compare Arena of Legends to the GSL, just look at the prize pool. I wouldn't be surprised if MKP wins this tournament.

A competition is still a competition, though. Overall record as far as I can remember is 4-1 favoring MMA, so that means something.

Yeah, Tail might not be to beat Nestea/MVP again but we could not also say that he will never beat for sure.

Fixed that for you ^^

Seriously though, even though tails was very lucky in the nestea game, the fact is that he beat mvp with BAD micro. Usually protoss require excellent micro to hold off the 111, but he has all his zealots stuck at the back in both fights.
The world is ending what should we do about it?

Look at who IM used and tell me if this is playing around.

-Happy = really good terran
-Losira = Top 3 zerg in the world
-Yongwa= probably best protoss in the world
-MVP= best terran in the world
-Nestea = supposedly best zerg in the world


yea it sure looks like IM was playing around!!!! lawl


Yongwa is the best toss and Clide the best terran in teh world. GJ artosis fan boy.



Yongwa is the best Protoss on IM period.

That said, I found it extremely suspicious they had sent out Yongwa, a protoss who is well known for being overly defensive, on dual sight, the map that is tied with Belshir beach in being extremely hard to play defensively.

The moment I saw they purposefully picked that map I assumed Yongwa wouldn't play his normal game and he didn't. This was the only dumb egregious decision IM had made as a team.


Can someone please post a screen shot of the look on the IM team as they lost? I had stayed up to watch them game but I didn't pay for the GSTL this season and I just want to immortalize the most heart breaking team defeat I ever saw. Noone has looked as crushed as IM just did in past matches or seasons.

Wait wait wait I've been gone all weekend, and some random guy named Tails, WHOS A PROTOSS, beats the best terran and zerg in the world?
What happened in those games?
