What Terran haters? This entire thread's been full of people claiming Nestea is overrated and how MVP was going to 3-0 him.

Nestea overrated? he is the only Zerg that can take games of Mvp in the entire world ...



too bad DRG beat him last time



Online tournament.



oh yeah and it wasn't important

it's like if you're a kickbox fighter you would only fight seriously in the ring

if you were walking at night and 2 dudes attacked you you wouldn't fight seriously

and if they beat you to shit you'd think in yourself "this fight didn't matter i didn't fight seriously" meanwhile having the ability to beat them easily;>

i don't get it how people always try to imply that players deliberately don't play up to their abilities in certain games, it's disrespectful towards the player and always used by someone who wants to defend a player or prove that he is the god of starcraft

Thinking of it, i'm amazed by the perfection of MVP's army composition : just enough marines to take down mutas, not too much, while Nestea probably made too many banelings.

i agree with this , zerg need to start teching to brood etc quicker .. i do dislike how terran can just seige up randomly and you are unable to break it unless you have teir 3 units.. vs what is a mass teir 1 / 2 unit mix.. kinda sad, espc with tanks being SO cost effective..


This theory-crafting is ridiculous. MVP won his games because of economic advantage and Nestea's inability or decision not to take a 3rd sooner.

When you have two players at the very highest level, a Terran with 3 bases will almost always beat a Zerg with 2 bases.

To be fair DRG did manage to take a game off MVP at MLG Anaheim......

But Nestea is the god of Zergs. MVP is just Zeus. The Ruler of the Gods.


And beat Mvp at AoL.

Now all hopes are on CoCas shoulders to bring us a TvZ Final.^^

Mvp vs MMA could be also pretty good considering their match in the geforce tournament.


If you watch the games DRG lost and the games he won. DRG's reputation on TvZ is mainly based on beating biomech when it was the main terran strategy.

He is UNBEATABLE in that matchup if terran goes straight biomech. His style revolves delaying his third and having a perfect macro.

However, mvp and MKP definitely showed us how to beat DRG-- you either go mech, or you get fast third so DRG will be extremely behind anticipating the attack that doesn't come.....

I doubt it, Nestea would have to lose a lot more before Artosis would drop that.

Even then he would probably call him a fallen god and praise him on his former glory; "Did you remember back when nestea wrestled a great white shark? yeah those were the good days"

No, no he won't. Nor should he. It's fantastic.

I never get tired of the various insane metaphors they use to put over the idea that Nestea is amazing. It's not like they didn't give MVP plenty of credit. They said multiple times that they were sure MVP was going to win.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

the only reason seems to be to force us to download gretech's piece of shit excuse of a player and search bars - and they don't allow re-streaming

christ I hope this shit fuck of a company burns


And when they stream on Justin.TV there will be someone like you who would whine about the same thing right here, and you would probably be the first to say something like "Better than GOM Player, can't play shit on it".

Thats bullshit you have never watched TvZ in your life it seems like. How does Idra win any games then he doesnt go hive for 25-30 minutes if at all ZvT.


He's usually economically ahead by quite a bit as a result of his macro/mutalisk harass.

thats not really true at all. you need lings to break tanks though, not mass banes. especially against relatively low marine counts, which MVP had in that last battle. 200 supply tank marine can be tough to break, but the whole goal is to have hive before that comes knocking on your door. Nestea had a really awful early game and thus was slower on his tech.

Well at least people will stfu about Drg. Nestea is apparently god in zvt as well when he wants to be. Could have beaten MVP too.

oh yea and I forgot we have another series >______>

yup. i take back what i said about nesteas zvt. imo its not better than drg's zvt, but its pretty close and def 2nd. im very happy to see that he has improved a lot in the matchup.


DRG would have gotten eaten. Main issue with Nestea's ZvT was always the fact that he was too defensive. But this series, he had the macro, the defense, ...a few critically bad decisions but overall good, and above all else he got aggressive.


People will always say lesser zergs have better ZvT just because they play lesser terrans. They always ignore how good MVP played and what kind of reactions he forced from Nestea, how he used the map control terran has in the match up. The decisions he made based on knowing how much scouting nestea could do, how much he could move out was really scary to watch. People just see a generic zvt and think, oh well I saw leenock beat someone who made that unit composition in code a, leenock is better than nestea!


Exactly, you guys really think DRG ZvT is way better than Nesteas? Then you should check their respective records against top players. Both are rather similar with DRG edging out just a little bit.

Stephano stomping lesser korean terrans(Still very impressive) but losing to Alive 2 - 1(which DRG/Nestea will probably beat with ease) says its all

No. They won't. Because, while they are biased, they are hyping the game and keeping people interested.

Sure but they should keep up with times. MVP has the crown currently.

I can understand their reluctance b/c of him being terran but still.

Normally I'd pick Ganzi, but after SuperNova's matches against DRG in Ro16 and his WCG group performance (beating TOP in a sick splitmap Shakuras), this can go either way.

I'm pumped.
