It's probably some guy who's annoyed at Artosis' hyping/Nestea jokes^ It annoyed me a while back too, but it's much more casual now and they know he's not the best player going around so w/e.
Except the part where Artosis explains that Nestea will come out of the sky crashing into the studio, killing half the audience and will tear up the group :p

Soooo Ro16 was only pvp? Man, I didn't know terrans changed their names.

imagine Yugioh 1st round of Code A extended to all of Code A

DRG is the absolute favorite going into the ro8. His tournament to lose for sure now. MC? He's beaten DRG 3-0 before. DRG's probably got a slightly better chance than him, but I wouldn't call it "his.. to lose". Doubt it to be honest. We haven't seen much GSL PvZ from MC, and his cutesy timing style seems much more effective in 2-3 day tourneys. His style doesn't work very well in the GSL anymore.
It's funny to call MC's PvZ as 'cutesy timing' - based given that he's probably the best macro PvZer. Also funny to criticize the PvZ he never played in GSL in 2012 excepting first season where he took out Nestea.

Cutesy timing style is pretty much all Protoss has left against Zergs of the calibre of Symbol and DRG. It's not so much a style as it is "I want to win".
I don't disagree, I just don't think it will work against an opponent that gets to prepare extensively against every possibility and has DRG's skill. Preparation doesn't benefit both sides equally.

Well look at all 3 games he played against DRG. All about catching your opponent opponents off guard.
Now, I know that's part of the skillset you need to have, but for all 3 games? It was pretty clear that Nestea thought he wouldn't beat DRG in a macro game.

It's just that he's not top3 player in the world anymore, he's just a very good player now. He suffers the comparison with his old himself.

...obviously he prepared the most for Genius as that was who he'd be playing first, and Nani said himself he wasn't very worried about Keen as he just beat him at dreamhack. Since there was no way he could play Byun twice, then really all he needed to do was practice PvP.

I think this TvT incoming will be awesome, better then people expect.
Think Ryung will take it though.

Unit of the day is probably baneling
DRG vs Ryung Game 3, banelings negated those all-in SCVs meat shields and saved DRG
DRG vs Nestea Game 2, baneling nest was not made in time to prevent mass lings
DRG vs Nestea Game 3, no baneling means upgraded lings own roaches
It is nothing new that baneling is important, but baneling or lack of it shines today.

wtf? First game was a roach timing. Its STANDARD in Z v Z. Second game I will give you that. Third game was a anti muta build which nestea predicted wrong. -_- I really wonder how do people hate without understanding what they hate.

Just like Symbol. DRG still strongest zerg.  Huh? Even Artosis has been saying for months and months that DRG is the best zerg, its just during casts he likes to keep up with his trend of hyping Nestea just to add something extra to the cast. Not really, they've been hyping Symbol as being equal to DRG, and NesTea as being comaparable. Yes really. That is them hyping people up during a cast. If you ever hear Artosis outside of casting the GSL then he gives it to you straight, no extra hype attached. Outside of casting Artosis has been sticking with DRG for a good amount of time now.
That might very well be! Havn't had time for much non-gsl sc2 lately. But it still means he's overhyped, despite it not being sincere hype

EDIT: I'll give the advantage to Ryung. He's pretty confident in TvT and his gameplay is up there with MVP's.
lol thats just a funny, running joke. People like to mess up anything good :/
but on Ryung vs SuperNova, I hope SN wins so it is an easier match for Nestea

Come on Ryung.
You better win so we can at least see a good match between you and Nestea.

The third game wasn't. In fact he got caught off guard himself. Had he known what comp DRG was going he'd of probably been significantly ahead.
