Crossfire!
Nestea is 7-1 (!!!! again) on this map in the GSL, while Polt is 4-5
Polt's only played Terran on Crossfire, strangely, so no help there (he's also 4-5 against them, so even less help). Nestea on the other hand is unbeaten vT on Crossfire, with wins over asd, Bomber, TOP and sC.
Their only meet so far has been a win for Nestea, but that was nearly a year ago (lol, Blistering Sands)

How do Koreans have NO facial hair? No stubble, there is no sign they shave, there is no sign hair EVER existed below their nose. Nestea and Polt are both adults...
Maybe I just suck at shaving. Probably sick micro. I actually feel a bit ashamed of myself for making these jokes. Not about my Fionn vs the world of Polt unbelievers though. Shame versus pride, at least there is balance in my life. Lol. I am MrCash and this is my favorite response to my question. Even though it wasn't very educational. we have facial hair! just look at mma closely. he has it. mma is an adult nah I think it is just makeup. Everyone knows only samurai grow facial hair... pretty sure becoming one activates the gene.

Why is that? I think 3 would be awesome. They actually delegate separate tasks and have different responsibilities. Most English casters simply stumble over each other. If you will note Artosis and Tasteless have different job titles. One is commentator and the other is caster. They have a very good synergy because Tastless promotes Artosis' analysis, and Artosis lets Tasteless focus on entertaining and narration. Even they sometimes switch responsibilities though. Also when there are 3 they can hit a nice harmony with their screams of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I believe wholeheartedly that they practise this.
There's a little taser under their chairs and when one presses a button they all get tazed at the same time. Leading to the similtanious AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Well that's what makes it more interesting to think about IMO. It's so cool hearing them scream tough :D

Polt does nothing particularly interesting, but Nestea chokes during the lategame.

Leenock would've just rebuilt them at his other base. All he built in the end were zerglings and banelings. Naniwa could've taken out the Hive and the Greater Spire but what would have been the point?
I don't understand why the commentators keep emphasizing this point. As soon as Naniwa started working on the tech Leenock would've just started rebuilding them and it would've bought him time to make a bigger army as well.
The zerg tree doesn't allow the rebuilding of everything that fast. He kills teh Hive nest spawning pool spire infestation pit and ya Leenock coulda rebuilt em but it woulda taken 5 minutes. 5 minutes of no units basiclly insures a win for naniwa THis. people who say that the tech was not important are blind. taking down the hive, spawn P, spire and infestation would mean the zerg taking forever to get up units.
He should had send out a phoenix hallucination checking for all bases, then he would kill tech and go for the upper bases and possibly won imo. Also if he still had DT tech he could send it to the lower bases.
I still think they played brilliant both players.

Naniwa expects leenock to rebuild tech buildings at expansions as soon as his main is seized by naniwa, even before one single building actually has been destroyed. So naniwa doesnt want to waste time killing buildings when his economy is broken and his only chance to win is to deny leenocks mining bases and get there before 40 spines appear etc. He had to know that Leenock didn't have enough money to do that so easily though, otherwise he'd have encountered an instant remax.

But I must admit, the naniwa bias was a bit excessive. Calling something good, when it wasn't kinda grilled my brain. It was an awesome game, but i had to mute it to enjoy it. You have to admit NaNiWa's micro was pretty damn good. but when he had only 4 archons and literally no bases left, it is not 'awesome' to micro those 4 units... He's not talking aboiut the archons, I'm guessing he is talking about the forcefield storm combinations. He's referring to Khaldor's casting there I believe. When he only had those 4 archons, Khaldor said it was brilliant micro when Leenock attacked with some banelings and a few lings. He didn't take a lot of damage, but it was still far from difficult micro.

MMA effectively took down Nestea's 3rd expo and kept pressure on them. At the same type he had very good defenses and took very few loses when Nestea tried to run by and counter attack. A few big engagements later, MMA had a bigger army since the game was 5 base Terran to 4 Base Zerg.

Thats not the crossfire problem. His problem is that his 3rd is either never going to get up or it will be soooooo delayed that it will die shortly after getting up.
