I think the thing with Tasteless is not so much the lack of knowledge, it's just that he seems to go on autopilot often and just says things he's used to saying. | ||

For example, MC recovers from jet lag very fast, but NesTea takes probably 3 days to recover. Just like puma and inori were most likely still jet lagged, that's literally the only reason NesTea, inori and puma lost to their non Korean opponents. LOL | ||

I say in weeks' time we will see Nestea co-coaching LG IM instead of competing It's not mechanics, it's strategy. | ||

He's going to marry Nestea after all. I'm so happy for Kas, it's a huge victory for him  And as a ZvT and TvT lover, I'm happy for the tournament! Only thing that makes me a bit sad is Feast ending with a 1-4 score, even though he really showed some strength today. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the future. | ||

It was only subpar because NesTea was so jet lagged. Kas can play well, but unfortunately, NesTea is just 100 times better than him. Again, NesTea was simply jet lagged. | ||

Funnily enough, the players don't make those excuses for themselves (Idra being the obvious exception), but fanboys to it for them. Really strange... | ||

Zergs like DRG and Symbol steam roll Terrans with bad composition all the time. It's mechanics bro. | ||

He just ends up tarnishing his rep by losing like that. owell He was there for gamescon promotion with IM. And I don't think he worries about tarnishing his rep. He is a progamer, he plays games for a living. | ||

I say in weeks' time we will see Nestea co-coaching LG IM instead of competing He will play as long as he can stay in GSL, he has no problems with staying in the most difficult league so far and i don't see it change in a couple of weeks. Nestea never showed his best play abroad and proberly never will. That does not make him retire though, IM has sweet sponsers and plenty of coin to spare for a player like Nestea. | ||

The only person I really defend when it comes to people saying this jetlag shit is Nestea since it's pretty obvious. I don't think it has anything to do with jetlag to be honest. Nestea has been looking bad in every game that goes to Broodloords for a very long time. His best days were when Zergs could still win with Muta-Ling without going hive tech. When the game goes to that stage he seems lost, whether it's ZvP or ZvT. And it looks like his mechanics also can't keep up. His creep spread is much worse compared to the newer generation of Zergs, his injects fall behind and he can't rebuild as fast etc. | ||
