It seems like DRG has this tournament. Nestea is out, probably MC is the biggest obstacle, but far from impossible.

dat foreigner bias, can't believe it's that strong. naniwa isn't exactly a loveable personality. Maybe it's just an underdog thing.


What is hard to believe? He is the only foreigner in modern times to get this far in the GSL, now he's up against some glasses wearning nerd ready to crush faces and take home the trophy for sweden, ofc we cheer on him! :D

As much as I'd like to see a foreigner in the Ro4, I think DRG is about to hulk-smash him to the ground so hard it's not even funny.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

TERRAN CANT WIN ZERG OP BLAH BLAH BLAH

Nestea gets 3-0'd ...


The issue that players like Mvp and MKP brought up was that at equal skill levels T can't win.

Not saying I agree with all that, but Byun is currently a much better player than Nestea. download any recent replay pack. Nestea plays with 150 epm while Drg, Symbol, and even Byun play at 200+.

When Nestea goes to foreign tournaments he doesnt even do well and is outclassed by other korean zergs.




That assumes that who is the better player is an objective fact and not situational at all.

The better player is who won, isn't it?

there was no neutral supply depot...

on any given day a palyer could be sick, could have gotten bad sleep, maybe have sore wrist that day e.t.c

winning one set agaisnt someone once doesnt make you better then them

if beating them doesn't mean you're better, what does?

either beating him a few times (series not individual matchs) or consistantly placing better then him at tournaments

Has Naniwa ever played an immortal sentry all-in? I think I have never seen one from him. Do you think this might be a good decision here?


It might work in Proleague but DRG is just too good against all-in play


HerO 3-0d DRG with three two base attacks, not even all ins just a week ago. DRG has been overdroning a bit.

If we have another terran champion, I will start questioning things.


Terran is the most versatile race so they have tools they can use to attain victory even when the metagame is against them. When Protoss or Zerg isn't doing well, you see them all out by the Ro8, with only 1-2 players in the Ro16. When Terran isn't doing well (or, at least, when you see heavy Terran balance whining), you still see them in the semis/winning GSLs.


Or maybe, you know, it's because NesTea simply played bad.

His A-move strategy on the last game into a maxed out siege line perfectly positioned with even a bunker or two is equivalent to someone scouting a 4-gate while executing a 1-rax expand and not building any bunkers.


Nestea had no reason AT ALL to attack into that, he had been given a golden ticket to win in that game.

He was maxed out, terran was isolated and sieged up defending. He could have taken the bottom right part of the map and built his bank up.

Use up supply by harassing with mutalisks, maybe do baneling drops to hurt econ, just defend a bit and tech up. He had like 10000 different options that would be safe and almost guarentee a win but he choose to attack into a siege line and when it went bad he didn't back off to at least try to salvage the attack, he pushed ahead. It was the only that byun could have hoped for to allow him to get back into the game.

Nestea threw that game soooooooooo hard.


Nestea has been in a habit of doing that lately. Remember his loss vs Huk? It feels like Nestea gets very impatient in his games. I think he just wants easy quick wins compared to long hard played games. Maybe his stamina isn't what it used to be? Wrist problems perhaps?

Did Nestea micro a single unit in that entire series? Zergs disappoint me so much with their control and unit splitting. Reminds me of 2010/early 2011 protoss that 1a'd everything and sent the entire army to deal with drops. Seriously, that's exactly what happened in game 3 -_-;;


I have to agree here.. I see way too many zergs just ramming 3 banelings to kill the last marine and such far too often. Its a bit disappointing to see such poor unit splitting & retention from code S GSL players, but at the same time, I'm confident in due time the level of skill (in this aspect) will get to where it should be.

Yeah I don't know what was wrong with him today. He normally micros his army a lot better, not really wasting banelings as much as he did today. It's unfortunate we didn't get a better series, but I guess the better player won today.

Now DRG sacrifices Naniwa to the creator of the universe.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

He should have said the better player TODAY won. I don't have any problems with game 1 bunker play. Nestea scouted everything and just bungled what should have been a very defendable cheese. I'm zerg and I thought he just got flat out outplayed the whole series.
