You might sound smart if it weren't for the voidray nerf, drastic metagame and map changes that occurred since then.

If we teleported back in time to when Cruncher beat Idra in TSL3, top Zergs would shit on Colossus Void Ray. Zergs hardly used Infestors or Brood Lords back then, the Fungal 'buff' wasn't even that big, and it's not like they buffed Infested Terrans too or anything...


...so? It's called a metagame change. You can't deny that the infestor change was one of the better move by Blizzard. Zerg was really lacking that late game long range, splash damage unit that allows it to capitalise on an advantage in the midgame. Yes people can deal with it better now, even without the infestor, but only because they've gotten better at killing the Protoss before that stage.

(and I'm pretty sure a 260% DPS increase is a huge buff...)

(well, re-reading your message it's pretty obvious you don't have a clue, I wonder why I even answered).

MVP is called cheese/alliner because of 4 games in 1 year, what did you expect from LR thread concerning MC?

Byun is pretty much guaranteed to win the whole thing now. Can't have a GSL without a Terran champion.

thanks for spoiling gsl
but there is hope left.. there is one protoss who can win GSLs and he is still in it.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

I like how NaNiwa beating DRG is the biggest problem you have with that sentence...



You really think NaNiwa is going to beat DRG?..

Because he is an amazing player? He's shown time and time again that he can employ a wide range of strategies, all with great effect. Abusive rushes to 40 minute macro games, this guy can hang with the best. He get's overshadowed by MKP and until recently has had relatively little recognition despite being one of the best Korean Terrans.

He was right, what is your problem? Haven't you seen MC play in 2010-early 2011?

Or do you expect incontrol to predict a player's change of style?

He was wrong, since MC has always been risky and yet continues to succeed. He had a slump but he recovered nicely and has continued to be an extremely dangerous player who can never be counted out. He's also still the only protoss to win anything.

Nestea hasn't been looking dominate either he has been making it through his groups but really Byun has been looking great against Terran and Protoss. Hasn't played a Zerg this whole time in GSL. Now the thing is though can Byun ZvT up to par with his TvT or TvP...A lot of people are pointing at the GSTL that he lost to two zergs named Coca & Moon. Which both of those players aren't on Nestea standards.

Nestea though seems very comfortable against the Terran he has played against. I do think Byun does have a shot his mechanics against TvT and TvP is awesome. If he doesn't win then Nestea will be playing against Seed. I do think Seed will make the finals if Nestea does beat Byun.

Yes because changing the game is much better than making players figure things out. The biggest thing the Infestor buff did was make Zergs use Infestors. The DPS of Fungal isn't the most dangerous thing, it's the part that makes things unable to move. The DPS buff helps most at taking out Sentries super fast. Hell back then Zergs hardly made Brood Lords or even did hardcore Mutalisk builds which would wreck Colossus Void Ray. I'm pretty sure you're the one who has no clue what they're talking about.
