Ok guys! I have missed two days of MLG because of family weekend birthdays etc. I was wondering if I could get someone to give me a brief "Previously, on MLG..." because the results only tell so much, and from results alone I feel like there are potentially interesting storylines coming out I want to see more about tomorrow!
So yeah, anyone able to give me a recap I guess of highlights from MLG's play so far without me having to trawl through 1000 pages of Team Liquid? =D?
Naniwa beats MVP then beats Nestea in Global invitational. In 1 of the games vs Nestea, it was a weird game on taldarim. Nestea would send lings and pull drones, naniwa cancels nexus and nestea sends drones back, keeps lings to harass. Nestea eventually loses.
Boxer takes 1 game off impressively (nice strategy) off Nestea but still loses 1-2.
MC beats MVP. MC beats Idra right after (AGAIN LOL). Also, MMA vs DRG is at the same time, but DRG owns MMA 2-0 it was a disappointing series.
Also, Naniwa vs Nestea... AGAIN. 2nd game was really funky. Same thing, taldarim, nestea drone rushes, but sends them back. Nestea's lings prevents nexus going down (cannons are out of range), and nestea gets on 3 base. Naniwa pumps out of 2 stargate after retaking his natural. Lots of air comes in, doesn't kill nestea but picks off his hydras and such. A roach counterattack forces Naniwa to send his troops back. Then nestea pumps off 3 base to try to kill naniwa, brings about 20 hydras vs 8 phoenix 3 voids or something, naniwa has NO WARPGATE LOL pumps zealots out of 9 gates to defend. He holds somehow, rofl. I guess those phoenixes had a lot of energy or the hydras were focusing the zealots instead? meh
Well Naniwa keeps holding and it looks grim for nestea but nestea finally breaks him somehow.
Game 3 Naniwa does an impressive strategy on nestea, quite weird. 2 base vs 2 base. He canon rushes nestea behind the nat min line, then later he gets +1 attack and a 4 sentry drop and warps in 4 zealots into his main. He uses FF to protect zealots as they snipe the lair. He rallies one colossi (no thermal upgrading) to move to the lair too, to kill it (this is shakuras, so they spawned close by air). Impressive strategy, really epic micro. Poor nestea though.
Well I think that's it
Oh and MVP beat Bomber 2-0 quite disappointingly, tho the 2nd game was a bit interesting (both low econ, severely hurt, etc.)
Also, Huk beat Hero 2-0.
Also, Naniwa called Nestea an idiot for pulling his drones (idk the exact quote or wording) for the first time they matched up (global invitational not providence). Nestea interveiewed and said he found out, and said he would destroy naniwa. Artosis notes how Nestea was uncharacteristically talking to other koreans to ask for tips/strats/advice to beat naniwa, haha. And then later after Naniwa beat nestea at providence, he thumbs down nestea.
Also, after MC beat MVP, he did that epic dinosaur ceremony that u see in the spoiler. I twas hilarious!
Well I think these are the big things, hope this helped.
EPT
