This is why LR threads suck when Nestea plays =/ Win or lose.
In other news: anyone looking forward to sC v Losira? Potential good match incoming (though I always like seeing sC's TvZ)

Nestea vs SC today showed that Idra was actually correct. That was a dumb analysis. First of all, Day9 didn't lose because he didn't even partake in an actual discussion right then. His answer was that he'd need more information before he could definitively deduct anything. Also, saying that one game showed something correct is laughable. The only thing this game showed us that Nesteas OL was millimeters from scouting the starports because they were close to the edge, and he spotted the banshees very early but didn't react properly. You need to be slapped.
Day9 is a professional commentator and sc1 pro gamer, he has as much or most of the insight of any person in the world, what does he need to analyze before making a suggestion for early game scouting? Idra said "its a coinflip at best when you have to guess your opponents build". Day9 had no reply to this, im not saying Day9 doesn't understand the game because he clearly does, but when Day9 or Idra cannot find a solution for zerg early game scouting, then the answer is there is no solution for early game scouting.
Nestea could of sacrificed 10 drones and made 10 spores blindly that game, however if SC went for a ground all in, how stupid would Nestea look? Like Idra said.. its a coinflip at best when you have to guess what your opponent is doing. Good job on SC's part though, he realized his 2 rax opening didn't work and followed up with an effective all-in.

Lol I was just noticing how bad it is all of a sudden. I tried arguing some logic without flaming, but that won't get a huge response.

at first i was screaming when losira moved his lings aways for a second and didn't kill it before it scouted the hatch, but now i realize he did that on purpose to be able to baneling bust asd without him putting up bunkers and stuff Didn't thought about that, if he really did that on purpose that was brilliant yes 
Losira vs sC should be good, imo sC is favored, we'll see.

Queen has a range advantage and can start shooting earlier. Brb testing. No need to test, the queen wins if she has the 1st shoot.
Been testing it and the Banshee wins

I like seeing LosirA! I hope Losira does his revenge on sC this time!

Banshees still beat queens even if the queen gets the first shot in.

I'm not arguing the games I'm arguing an old tried and tested format(of course the BW one is less complicated but more or less the same)

Are people really trying to say losira was all-in lol, and trying to compare it to 2 port banshee. The LR thread does make me laugh some times i will give you that. Always good humor in here.

The LR thread is like today's games, to be honest. A giant shit fest indeed, as you said. You're not going to see everyone go "beautiful play omg sick" when all these guys do is one or two base all inning each other.

Everyone gets so fucking bitter when their favorite player loses and blames it on something like group format, but upsets happen all the time no matter the format bar bo7 every series. If you want fair then it'd be bo7 triple elimination format round robin with everyone in the god damn code S.

Or you could just....scout? Very easy to scout into a terran base with marines in every single corner. There were only marines on the cliff. He could've snuck an overlord to the space behind the main earlier in the game but he didnt. Also seeing 1 hellion, 2 "naked" barracks and 6 marines is a pretty good tell that sC is either going marine/hellion (which is pretty easy to hold off) all in or a 2 port banshee.
how would he know where the marines or the starports were before tho? It just comes down to plain luck
And, while I'm only a protoss player, I think spores are pretty useless for marine/hellion yeah? soooo... whats your point?

The players need all these tournaments from GOM to make money, since there aren't many other tournaments in Korea right now, so they need them every month. They really should have had this BO3 from the start.

And the ability to instantly drone up those extra bases if the attack doesn't work. I don't see your point. He'd be so far behind if that failed that it would've been gg. No matter how many hatches he had . Very similar to 2 Port Banshee . Terran and Zerg All-ins are very different.
Failed?
When you throw that many lings and banes at an already wounded opponent it's not going to just fail. It's going to wreck shit no matter what asd did in that position. Even if Losira just failed to kill him he would still of just built a round of 20 drones behind it and been fine.
