He's definitely a GM level player if he stays in ok form.
HD is mid master zerg so hes not a bad player. Hes a great solo caster but his duo cast skills arent as good as his solo cast skills IMO.

That's the point of a forum.

I was busy reading the thread so missed it, but usually you do that because you either Nexus first or forge first depending on scouting information.

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.
That doesn't mean it was all-in tho. It was completely blind and obviously put him at a huge disadvantage. But the fact that Nestea does that build on cross only Antiga every ZvP shows how he can get away with it against almost every single Protoss in the world. Hatch first vs a proxy 2gate is an autoloss but that doesn't mean its all in.

Holy shit, Nestea is SHAKING.

HD is your average run of the mill master zerg on NA.

HD plays zerg Yes he played zerg at an mlg if I remember correctly, he was knocked out first round by spadez I believe but actually put up a good fight from what I remember, misclicked banlings into some tanks which cost him the first game which was very close.Well the first game was close anyway.

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 can't agree with you 14 pool 16 hatch into fast 3rd is standart vs ffe but not overpool into gold expo on the center of the map

Is the main streams volume really, really low for anybody else? Stream 2 was fine earlier, but Stream 1 has been low all day.

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. am I the only one that doesn't give a shit about where someone is from only how they play half the time i don't even look at the names at the top of the screen or listen about it. I am here to watch amazing top level play not watch nestea or stephano or whoever. Do I have my favorites? yeah but I don't let that influence my enjoyment... basically I love starcraft not a specific player or race or country watch for whatever reason you want but don't complain when people disagree with you.
I doubt you're the only one but you're definitely in the minority. Almost every sports/eSports fan chooses some kind of favorite, generally related to something they're familiar with or fond of(country, hometown, personality) and tend to root for and invest emotionally in those players.

I usually ignore the HD haters, but "fay-teague" made me lol for real.

"He's going to maybe attack the forge" Forge had no shields when that was said
