Great mind games by Alive. He doesn't gg instantly after his allin fails.

That map seems really shitty. Seems very hard to take a third (never played it though).

Is IPL a true double elimination, or does the Loser's Bracket champ only need one match in the grand finals to win?

wonder if Nestea would have done this all in if he wasn't playing in Winner's Finals and was playing for his tournament life

Nestea is playing Zerg the way I feel it should be played.

It didn't matter that he was being cost inefficient, it didn't matter that he kept losing a ton of units. He just kept attacking, kept trading, kept picking away at his opponent and Alive eventually folded. The Zerg swarm is endless and unrelenting and they will just win if you play by attrition.

Alive I don't think at any point in that game felt comfortable. He was seeing Nestea's Mutalisks under his bed before he went to sleep and in his mirror when he's brushing his teeth. Awesome way to play.

That style would get completely smashed by anyone confident enough in their micro skills to try and split vs offcreep banes, confidence aLive has clearly shown to lack.




What I've noticed from watching MMA and MKP play their styles is that when players are CONSTANTLY fending off harassment and playing defensively they make more mistakes then when they are playing with some semblence of comfort.

When you play the infestor style, you cannot pressure the same way. It's a great way to play defensively and kill armies out on the map, but you lack that pressure factor that Mutalisks provide, and anyone that's played against a Zerg player with good muta contro knows, they get into your head. You're constantly playing with this semi-paranoia that mutalisks are about to show up and it makes everything else you do in game, be it macro or micro that much more difficult.

That's just what I've noticed anyway. You're right in that it's an inferior style when your opponent plays perfectly, but it's so much more difficult to play perfectly when the pace of the game is sped up like that.

Yeah, aLive is a completely different player vs infestor play. He has never looked close to losing to Stephano ever. His play vs mutas... not so good.

LOL wtf was that

The infamous Nestea melt-down. Earlier when he had these, people even thought he threw games, but he was not.
