Plus, Nerchio is Z, and the more Z, the merrier for "ZvZ Master but mediocre ZvT" Nestea. Edit: Not that I'm questioning Nestea, I did formulate the hypothesis before the game started afterall. That's quite unlikely, but I think it's possible nonetheless. | ||

Don't think games are even casted in the same order they were played so I think not. And Nestea will be 2nd in the group if he loses.. Meaning he has to play MMA (He does not want). | ||
