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.

Guys you should calm down and think rationally. Zerglings are good against ghosts, it's a fact, and it says so in the in-game help menu.
Also look at the liquipedia (Wiki)Ghost "weak against: zergling"


well the archon also supposedly owns mutalisks too.


Ultras counter marauders too apparently.

anyone whining about ghosts is conveniently ignoring nestea 1) staying on 90+ drones for too long 2) nestea failing to inject late game and keep up the production to remax with his 11k/6k bank 3) nestea utterly botching his doom drop 4) nestea REPEATEDLY failing to multitask enough to pull drones away from nukes 5) nestea wasting 15 spines in the center while his tech and production got ravaged by tiny drops and most of all 6) nestea making 25 broodlords against a primarily ghost viking army and not supporting them with ANYTHING when he engaged. nestea completely botched that game and mvps control and multitasking was simply better throughout. theres no point in going to 90+ drones and quickly maxing if you are going to let the terran split the map without a fight.

I think noone really disagrees that nestea should have lost that game the way he played. But that does not take away from the fact that ghosts are too good of a unit. The cloaking ability combined with snipe and emp makes them a too usefull unit. They are like Ghosts frombw combined with science vessels and a sniping ability. Let the emp go in the raven and make it a projectile and everything would be fine.

Ghost counter lings.


No they don't, do you even play the game? Ghost are so much more expensive and they shoot slower than marines. The only terran ground unit that's worse against lings than ghosts are Thors without support.

if you play protoss and are afraid of ghost, here you see the same way zerg die to them.

Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void should be renamed to Aliens United. There, zerg and protoss units will all merge and become the ultimate allies to defeat the good and powerful terran.

All units will then have regen + shields. perfect.

People complain about ghosts countering tier3, but if you realize this than why continue going tier 3?


because dude tier 3 is supposed to hard counter every tier below it!!!!!11

and if not then it's imbalanced!!!!

Because Zerg Lair tech cannot touch maxed marine tank. Adding ghosts into the mix only makes it harder for ling bling because ghosts are fearsome fighting units.

When Zerg loses for going lair tech all game, people say 'lol needed infestor brood lord. When Zerg techs to Hive and Terran reacts, people go 'make lingoes nooooooob).

What people should see is that a 200/200 heavy gas beating Z at 200/200 any setup can be balanced. A 200/200 Mech T vs 200/200 Z in BW Terran would destroy Z.

In SC2 you need to control T army size and gas income.

bs..

Ghosts are supposed to be strong against:
* High Templar
* Raven
* Infestor

Theyre not supposed to be killing t3 units with impunity

Can't help but think that IdrA vs. Bomber was more exciting and displayed higher levels of skill from both players than Nestea vs.MVP. Blizzard maps perhaps. I mean, MVP played great after getting demolished by Nestea's prepared build orders, but Nestea just seemed outclassed after his BO wins.

That last game seemed super fake. Way too many novice mistakes made. Maybe NesTea was just cracking up under the pressure and maybe MVP just wanted it more, but I just had a weird feeling watching that game.

You would be right except larva. To remax 2 times with ling/bling you would need over 300 larva...

Can anyone recommend me a pro level game where a Zerg has a good amount of coin banked, and attempts to break a Terran siege/ghost line using units which aren't Ultra/Brood? I don't care if they succeed or not, i just want to see if such a game exists.


Puma vs Idra at IEM. Turtle Terran vs Zerg. Idra won, and yeah Puma had Ghosts

Awesome, thanks, i'll look into it. Did Idra use Ling/Bling or what?

Well all in all..this tournament was shit. As I expected from watching blizzcon last year it was bound to disappoint. Nestea vs. MVP was decent I suppose....except for the later stages of that last game.

Didn't even get to MVTea until the next day on stream. Huge downtimes. AND THE MAPS >_< arrrghhhh

Nestea vs MVP final in gsl November and MLG Providence (lawl open bracket) hopefully.

Your vote: Was that final match "rigged"?

(Vote): The fix was in

I just want to see what the consensus is, personally I wanted Nestea to win so at first I was mad when he started losing, but after the fourth or fifth nuke, the 14k/4k in the bank, the drop where he didn't even unload all his units and then suicided the overlords... That's when I started thinking it was a showmatch.

I'm not sure how many people watch tournaments besides Blizzcon (I'd hope on TLnet that most of you watch a lot of tournaments) but have you EVER seen Nestea do a lategame like that? That's not just him playing beneath his level, that's like LeBron James getting dunked on by a middleschooler because he lifted the kid up to the hoop. He saw the ghost composition and he built 100% broodlords and then a-moved them in.

Also, MVP who pushed aggressively EVERY game took out alllllll those overlords and units in the drop, he's one of the best in the world, he knew where that left Nestea (supply blocked with little or no army) and does he push? No, he waits nicely for the brood lords to finish so they can have a grand finals showmatch battle in the middle of the map.

That's my opinion on the subject, just way too many fishy plays by both players.

Archons should counter mutas and be weak vs immortals. LOGIC wins.


Is it strange for Nestea to get tilted in the final game of a long series?

something is strange because at one point nestea had 192/192 and then he dropped to 184/192 and back to 192/192.. he didn't make that one more overlord for around 3-5 minutes and that was something that even bronze player wouldn't do

ghosts are too sick, you can't deal with them in that phase of the game.. but nestea could finished it much earlier.. something is weird in that game


he should have burrowed move with infestors and fungal the cloaked ghosts and snipe them with his units. Also you can run banelings to where u see the snipes are coming from and detonate them. And finally, he had overseers that were not grouped in that attack. It was ridiculous how nestea threw away that game. He broke under pressure although he was ahead most of the game.
