overpool is not an allin. casters missed so much in this game, Nestea just got meta-gamed hard. Really? 11 pool gasless expo not allin? I think this game begs to differ if it's an autoloss to gateway 1st build. Nestea tried to get a scoutless advantage vs the 90% most common toss build, but squirtle took the slightly safer route and got the autowin.
11p expand is the safer (albeit not nearly as economical) alternative to the 15p expand. It also gives you the option to do some crazy drone ling all in if you wanted to

Could have fooled me, I figured they didn't play at all

LOL Alive being gifted IPL4.
This is ridiculous.
retard comment. aLive had the best TvT in the world, even before this tournament, just being unnoticed by many Nice to see him improving in his TvP and TvZ as well, beating players like PartinG and NesTea. Definetly Top 3 Terran right now.
He was implying that out of the two in the LB right now, Squirtle has no chance and Nestea is tired as fuck.
He's wrong but that's what he meant.

How's he supposed to do that in the 5 minutes since the last game HD?
Speed?

11 pool is not cheese? lol. yeah right. Aquirtle just punished a cheesy opening by Nestea. Nestea often thinks he can get away with anything if he plays protoss (6 pooled Genius which became his downfall in the last GSL). That is just contempt of the protoss race and I'm so happy Squirtle punished him for it.

can someone translate the korean stream in chat so i can figure out whats going on. Cause if i wanted to hear myself casting id just watch the main stream

Oh finally unbanned lol but..
I am HOPING for NesTea to win the tournament but i just dont see anybody stopping Squirtle at this point

Lol HD and Painuser are probably better players than most of TL.

"understands"
"plays"
Sorry, should've clarified... Still, they're way better than most TLers

Nestea is a retard for saying oh yea I'm pretty tired I was falling asleep last game when hes standing right next to Squirtle. Thats like the biggest cue to just go ahead and cheese there ever was. Did you not watch the game? Nestea cheesed not Squirtle you're wrong it wasnt cheese... it was an 11 overpool how was that cheese he meant expo on gold 3gate is not cheese by ANY means he expo'ed to gold cause the metagame is FFE. nestea just didn't scout the gateway expand until too late. how is that nestea all in'ing? its standard vs ffe
Well going for the gold isn't really standard, plus zerg take the 3rd (edit: take the 3rd first before nat)only when they get pylon blocked. It wasn't allin, but it was very greedy

PU has actually done pretty well before in the open bracket at an MLG in the last 6 months I think. He's definitely a GM level player if he stays in ok form.

imo it should be the way mlg has it, with nestea up 2-1 and it going for a bo7

Not really thats your opinion. My opinion is that i enjoy the games more when Koreans win. Aren't you two Korean, though? How is that showing him wrong... I'm Chinese American man. Okay, but that's the same thing when it comes to this - you're cheering for people of your own skin color >< lol you're on thin ice buddy What. They brought up the foreigners cheering for foreigners are racist angle; I'm bringing up their double standard. There's a huge difference between cheering for foreigners and hating on Koreans. What you were saying earlier was the latter. Learn the difference and you'll stop coming off like such a jerk. Hating Koreans would be rooting for them to lose - which is what BackSideAttack was doing the entire weekend for Stephano. I don't think I've ever rooted against a Korean, though I have rooted for foreigners. That's the difference. Except no one has EVER hated on Stephano for being French. they hate on him because of the way he plays. There's a huge difference between saying "Stephano sucks" and "There's only Koreans left? I'm leaving or I'm going to complain." Do you see that? No, because no one's leaving because there are only Koreans left - they're leaving because there are no foreigners left, which is the difference that you fail to perceive. Hating Koreans is refusing to watch tournaments in which they participate - no one has ever done that. People leave because there are no foreigners left, which is the reason they leave when the remaining players are all Korean.
I'm done with this.
You obviously just don't get how you're coming off to people.

the only reason to 10 pool is to kill a free forge and pylon, force a cannon in the opponents mineral line and make them not able to leave there base for another 10 minutes
NesTea didnt get anything by cutting so many drones so he didnt ahve the eco to stop a 4gate, 4 gating after a Failed FFE due to 10 pool can work and NesTea got no damage in at all

Why did he save to 400 minerals to put down a Forge first?
