Starting off close air positions - not looking good for MVP, according to Jinro.

How was Nestea supposed to do to win that game? faster broodlords?

As Jinro said, NesTea read MVP's gameplan wrong. He was preparing for a mass thor timing push. That's why he got out a shit ton of roaches, banelings, infestors, and upgrades. It delayed his hive tech by quite a bit. That gave all the time in the world for MVP to take more bases and get a shit ton of vikings out.

I think the more important part is that he stopped droning at 49 drones - he lost like 1 drone total to the drops, and he just never made more until he realized 'oh shit, this isnt a 2 base play/im not gonna be able to bust him'. So while killing no drones, MVP was at 64 scvs vs 49.

Yeah, Nestea then droned hard until 80 or whatever, but if he had made a more standard decision and read MVP correctly (hard), then he'd have had those drones much earlier.


Jinro your analysses are so true.

I hope you were commentating these games at the GOM studio

I would really enjoy a Clide vs. Nestea finals, I think it would be a great series. Plus I am interested in how Artosis would react and who he would end up cheering for. O_o

Wow, this makes so much sense, I really wish people would read this instead of saying that all the players are bad.

This is why GSL needs seeding....

There will always be dud finals because of the stupid format.


There was seeding ...

He means later seeding, like at Ro8 players are reseeded.


Since Code S we have had:

MC vs July
MVP vs MKP
MVP vs MKP2
Nestea vs Losira
Polt vs MMA

You don't need seeding to get good matchups in the finals and having a good format doesn't automatically make the quality of the games in the finals great.

Ace match incoming. This next game basically determines the GSL champion.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Nestea's ZvT is looking better than ever but he's playing on basically the best set of maps Zerg could ever dream of and there are still some very scary TvZers left in the tournament.


And MMA has roflstomped him in the past. Even if was only one game, we could see that again.


MMA can also lose to Lucky 0-3.

Tastosis called the last match completely wrong:

1. Losing an overlord in the first five minutes is terrible. Not only does it supply block the Zerg, it slows down the second queen timing by a lot. Losing any sort of supply building/unit this early instantly turns a 5:5 matchup into a 7:3 matchup.

2. MVP killed so many zerglings early on with his hellions that Nestea was never able to build enough drones. MVP started his 3rd base well before Nestea did.


Yeah that really changed the outcome of the maxed battle where either side could pick what units they wanted.

Everyone thinks they're right...


A large part of Starcraft is probability and making the correct decisions. Losing an overlord early is a huge disadvantage and forces the Zerg into risks that have low probability of success if they want to catch up.

Of all the high-level TvZ games I've seen, Terran has won at least 90% of the games where an overlord gets picked off in the beginning.

Let's go MVP! I do feel bad for any pro gamer with wrist issues, whether minor or as dehabilitating as Flash's. I think MVP should take some time off if he does win his 4th GSL and try to heal up if possible - that is if he can get past NesTea here first.
