game 1: I feel Nestea kinda fell apart with all the Hellion harass, like I feel he should have used way more static defense. MVP seems to be liking Mech more and more in both TvZ and TvT, hopefully he starts using Mech in TvP too. Game 2: On this game I feel like Nestea(beyond some cases but the damage was not that bad) really stepped it up and defended the Hellions well. He abused Zerg mobility to delay MVPs push more and more and had some Clutch Broodlord timming that won him the game.I still feel Zerg delay Hive a little too much, dunno I feel that Hive tech came into play much earlier in BW. But in this game it came in time Game 3:Nestea defended the mass Hellion opening.. Ok, I feel that Z players are not using simcity too much atm, but Nestea was definitively behind. Some cool stuff that nestea did really let him climb up(the drop play had MVP turtling too much on 2 bases and its nice to see Zergs remembering that Bling drops are still awesome against workers). patience and an awesome engagement let nestea be ahead and some smart muta harass gave him the win.Pretty cool game I think this and game 2 were the best ones of the series. Game 4: Well, I don´t know what nestea was thinking this game. He defended Hellions beautifully but it seemed like he was gearing up for a 2 base timming and I feel he didn´t take his 3rd as early as he could have. Which delayed hive, which let MVP be super prepared for the Blords. it didn´t help that nestea lost a lot of his infestors. I feel nestea could have won that but he seemed kinda indecisive on that game. Game 5: Well, to be honest i feel what won MVP the game was his super early 3rd and Nestea going for a 2 base drop build, which delayed his 3rd. Still i feel that the early 3rd is what made the game for MVP, he had a larger than normal tank count and I feel Nestea was way behind by the time the push came. Still nestea played pretty well, but i feel once that many tanks are out you seriously need Hive tech which he didn´t. Still a pretty GG maybe a little one sided.Nestea defended pretty well though Have not watched the Ganzi v Supernova games. I hope they were good. | ||

Still a pretty GG maybe a little one sided.Nestea defended pretty well though The really crazy thing about that game is that despite MVP having the third the whole time, Nestea really could have won. His econ was good enough about 2/3 of the way through the game to bring it back, he just didn't deal with that push properly. When he tried to cut off reinforcements, they had already arrived, and he also didn't attack the army before the reinforcements came. There were some parts where it was 20-25 mutas against 15 marines and he was too scared to engage. Still a pretty sick game though, I can't believe how much MVP mined and how little Nestea's drops did for the cost, but he still managed to make it look real close. | ||

Yeah i definitively agree that nestea could have won that game despite all that went badly for him. And yeah I definitively agree that he could have crushed the 1st half of the army but the reinforcements managed to arrive in time(and really that showed how crazy MVPs macro was too). Definitively a finals worthy game, which is a shame it happened in a RO8 but oh well | ||

In game 4 He could definitely have taken out MVP after denying the hellions and being almost maxed out on lings roaches and infestors. In game 5 NesTea, despite not being aware of that ninja 3rd for like 10 minutes still held his own but then again after the failed 1st attempt at breaking the doom push he morphed 40 lings and I was screaming at my computer "go for it !!!!). Instead he waited for MVP to reinforce and make his push absolutely unbreakable without tier 3 tech. If he could put a little bit of "julyzergness" in his play along with his great mechanics and godly game sense he would be the absolute best in the world. | ||

Nestea just took 2 games off the best TvZ on the planet, and instead of giving MVP credit for being downright amazing, you take the asshole route and say Nestea's ZvT is bad. Nobody stands a chance against MVP as Z right now, its a testament to Nestea's skill he took two games as is. Nestea's worst match-up against MVP's best and it was extremely close  | ||

Belshir which is 14-17 favoring zerg so slightly zerg favored (even though NO map is going to be 50/50) Metalopolis is 30-24 favoring Terran. Day break 12-18 favoring zerg Taldarim 42-26 favoring terran Dual sight 30-27 favoring terran. so overall the maps were pretty balanced 3 were favoring terran 2 were favoring zerg (I wouldn't even say any really favored either because the stats are very close except for taldarim most are within 5-6 wins from each other). Just find it funny how people say nestea shouldn't lose on "zerg" favored maps when they are all pretty even .Good series wish Nestea had won though but MVP just has his number and is to gosu. | ||
