Watch how you approach the topic of match fixing. You can speculate, saying "I'm not so sure about the finals, something doesn't sit right with me," but if you are going to outright accuse players of match fixing you need something more than your word.

TL takes match fixing/abuse seriously and as such there is a burden a proof when you are accusing players.

No no, you just emp them and the lings are magically transported into the world of Narnia where Aslan greets them with 100000 blue flame hellions.

1st) 20+ Broodlords but only 2 corrupters!! what is the logic behind that? he had seen the vikins as well in that scenario even if he demolishes the ground forces then broodlords die anyway. 2nd) he made 3-4 Overseer but didnt bring any of them to the final battle and left them behind so the Broodlords were not even killing the ghosts .

The 27 brood lords was just a terrible decision.

Nestea was fully aware of the large amount of Ghosts present and likely spotted the vikings as well.
With 14k minerals and 6k gas he should've just made a ton of hatches and queens and spammed MVP to death with Roaches/Lings/Banelings.

Regardless of how Ghosts fare against Brood Lords, if you lost 8-10 brood lords earlier to a bunch of ghosts and you know his ghost count is twice that now, why make 27 brood lords.
It's like massing Hydras against Tanks.


He had very limited larvae at that point, your talking about at least two-three minutes to get enough bases operational.
He should have made more macro hatches in the first place.

If you can use 30 ghosts to hit snipe on 100 lings before they die then sure.

Zerg CANT do anythign in that position, Terran make 20 ghosts, about 8-9 tanks, 1-2 thors, possibly some hellions, ~10 vikings, and 30 marines.

You cant beat it.

BUT! there is a way to fix this.

Nerf snipe, by increasing energy cost or decreasing damage. otherwise you can just snipe overseers, nuke spines, and nuke bases all day. Can't engage it.


there was no way for MVP to attack nestea either.

guess what he did? constant drops.

hmmmmmmm


You don't understand.

in the lategame, Zerg wants to be the one attacking, not defending. Unless they blow ~5000 min on spines in all their bases they can be taken out by 1-2 drops and lose valuable buildings.
Terran can just turtle up and put up turret rings because whatever the zerg attacks with they just kill it.

What a disgrace Blizzard. The tournament was so poorly handled I can't even find words to describe it. Congrats to Mvp he was the better player today and deserves his win.
It can't be helped. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm normally the first to question the balance of SC2 especially terran, but this had nothing to do with it.

MVP managed to play better than NesTea in the very end. Banking 13k mins, +100 banelings and decided to drop on his main. And he didn't manage to drop all of the units even. Hands down to the two best players in the world, but MVP outplayed him in the end of that game.

It was a f- amazing game, and people should be cheering for macro game that manages to show us +8 nukes, transfer from marines into ghosts, 25 BLs on the same time and over one hundred fucking banelings.

Shut up and reflect.
Starcraft is a mix between chess, poker and a Michael Bay movie.

You don't have 100 lings, because then tanks or hellions just murder them. True story.

Lol, Nestea and MVP rigged this whole tournament, first game between them in winners bracket was also rigged, MVP let Nestea win because the chance of him beating Sen is bigger than Nestea. Remember first game on Shakuras? MVP doesn't even make a fucking wall-in at his first or 2nd ramp, what a terrible tournament

Now thats some angry nestea fans :D Hilarious ^^

lol.... funniest poll i've seen. Seems to always be like that when a zerg loses.

Well, 80% of TL is zerg, judging from the posts, so, good job all of you non-pathetic, non-whiny zergs For the rest of you ... meh who cares
MVP , MVP

Well, if you were so blind during the third game that you didnt see how AWFULL was Nestea, then I don't know how you can manage to log on TL. Wait, found it.
Anyway this was disguting to watch. 15k minerals and still managed to lose hatch to drops. Btw to the genius that came up with 'more drops nestea you noob', I heard turret/pf hardcounter it pretty easily. And bling drop would have been a favor to mvp, since he can deplete all his minerals with pure mules. The only thing Nestea could have done is to swarm Mvp's defence with a limitless number of roaches/hydras. But he couldn't since his range upgrade were 0 or 1.

maybe nestea and mvp decided to split the prize pot? They are on the same team and something like this happened with TT1 and Fenix before.

that last game was skeptical...

Can someone describe to me a max army that could touch MVP's army? I don't care how Nestea blundered in terms of defending expos, his bank was large enough for 4 remaxes. MVP's turtle on side expos was impenetrable, turrets, sensor towers everywhere. As blunderous Nestea's failed drops looked, he was faced without the problem of defeating the cloaked ghost army. Once MVP reached an economy of similar prowess as Nestea, he could start throwing drops everywhere just like a Zerg could throw zerglings away, and Nestea couldn't deal with it.

I blame Shakuras Plateau (which was the best Zerg map in the pool WTF)

Mass lings, 3 or 4 times would've killed MVP at any point which Nestea could've easily done with his 15,000 minerals.


He might but its hard killing PF's with tanks behind with lings.

Kill the detection, cloak, profit.
Also, they do well vs light, 30 ghosts would kill 100 lings without abilities...

Where's the "no, you're a fucking idiot" answer?

You must be new to esport then

Your the one that must be new to esport if you think he did
You overlook tons of the defence/harass that went on early to even get near the endgame


You overlook that many professional players especially from the same team just split the money from the finals so that they do not have that burden... You are new to esports and sports...

F*** blizzard and Browder and Kim, for making a game where failing doomdrops, letting a terran have half the map while on 15k/5k and staying passive, doing nothing against drops, donating mutas and broodlords, attacking with broodlords without support, letting 20+ drones die to a nuke and not using mutas to their full potential in the early-mid game when terran is not well defended and is on multiple bases will not make zergs win. I'm now writing this angry post, because my hatred for the game's balance is totally objective, and is not at all related to any type of miserable online life with multiple stupid losses because of my own failures, that I blame the game balance for ...


You're delusional. Take your balance whine elsewhere. Nestea played like garbage.

So stupid if you think they agreed to split the pot. If only for reputation why would Nestea agree to show a 4-1 collapse which is basically what happened?

We saw turtle v turtle last game of course its going to look ridiculous... how could a zerg attack into that on shakuras? Likewise what could MVP have done by giving up that position? That would have been stupid of him too.

When would they have even had a chance to talk about splitting the money? Before the Grand Finals when Nestea already had a gigantic advantage? Telepathically after MVP tied it up after the first two games? I mean seriously... sometimes your favorite player doesnt win and I think most people generally think MVP is a little better than Nestea overall. MVP is just so good at every part of the game

he should've remade the spines and hatcheries he lost and another 3-6 hatcheries just for macro, he could done much more with pure lings. the baneling drop was really bad and obviously the 27 broods a waste of gas.
