of course he did that was the metagame counter to a gate unit allin like 5-6 months ago

Nestea is a pretty good zerg? LOL, just because he's slumping doesn't mean he's just a "pretty good" zerg.

I think a NA diamond player can pull off that exact same build in game 3. 2 base protoss pushes are just too strong against zerg. 2 base 7 gate is the new 4 gate. sigh.
lol, why do some people always think like this. It is saying that I made a great play playing basketball with my friends today so I could have done that against LeBron James as well... It might look like the same thing but I bet MC has more units, better position, better forcefields and better focus fire. Well, better everything....

I love how people praise players when they do well and when they fall off a little bit they shit on them. NesTea is still one of the best players in the world.
I totally agree.NesTea didnt lose his mechanics all at once for god's sake..1 bad month or 2( bad for nestea would be dominance for ur average sc2 pro btw).I am eagerly waiting for NesTea's games as always!Will be working tommorow and this is the first time i am bying a season ticket..Tommorow is just too great of a day to lose it if u love sc2

Is this satirical? It is almost too ridiculous to believe.
The tournament belongs to Gom, not you.
They did not revoke Naniwa's GSL spot, because Naniwa never had a GSL spot to begin with.

It really depends.Zerg is a reactive race and if they scout they should be able to react according.But if they cant scout the all-in or timing,they are basically fucked if the P decently executed the 7 gate all-in or variation of it.

I thought todays games were slightly underwhelming given the stacked lineup. the TvZ's were great but Supernova vs MC, ForGG vs MC and Leenock vs MC were quite poor series.

But attacks CAN be held entirely reactively, just not by Zerg

They provide excellent casters/music/production/quality (circumstantial but still damn good) You're arguing something that's completely opinion based. Fact is, GOM owns the rights to do what they want and we should just..... ACCEPT.... that.... please, do not bring this shit back up in my threads lol, for some reason I just had an image of you running out of your house with a huge beard and a shotgun yelling: "Get awt o' mah house!"

I mean one of the best Tvzers already in the world having to practice this single matchup for his group?Considering that the other players have to focus heavily on zvz which is already a bit random no matter how much u practice.Sorry if this is a bit off topic but it just struck me.
Scared? IMMvp's TvZ is so solid that he will still own even without practising a whole week for it. Completely confident that Mvp will come first in the group, given that he had 3 weeks to practise against Zergs.

I am too, and for the same reason. I can't support a league that arbitrarily bans players for not even breaking an actual rule. Naniwa wasn't banned, he could've qualified through Code A if he wanted to. We don't need any more of these discussions but people saying that Naniwa was 'banned' just shows how ignorant of the whole situation they are.
I didn't mean banned like kicked out, but if you believe that they didn't rob him of his EARNED code S seed just because they fed some bullshit about how they hadn't chosen the seeds and the way they were going to give code S seeds magically changed for 2012 when MLG didnt even know about it yet... then idk what to tell you besides read between the lines. Also keeping up with the results doesn't support them so idc

I didn't saw the spore crawlers, but if he got them it was probably a good decision too. Leenock only saw zealots, where was the gas going? Could be void rays or DT's. I don't think 2-3 spore crawlers lost him the game. That fight wasn't close.

It truly was a group of death. The lack of Nova support was somewhat surprising... but with Fin, MC, and Leenock in the same group? Not that surprising. Funny though :D
Yeah to be fair, if Supernova was in almost any other group I might have considered him. But with bosstoss, runner up/MLG and 6-0 to Code S vs 'ok' WCG run and failed GSL November on form alone everyone else was a better choice.
Very happy Supernova advanced. Now I actually hope he makes at least Ro8, though I wouldnt mind seeing him do better (finals).
