On what planet is Nestea not a threat? FFS he made Ro8 GSL last time.
Every time Nestea doesn't win the GSL without losing a game people start dismissing him.

he gets it almost as bad as mvp he wins the gsl and ppl still dismiss him
PartinG and baby have been going at it for some time now. From what started as twitter banter turned into interview banter. I know for a fact that baby will pick pick parting if given the chance and ParinG will pick baby if he gets the chance.

Man, considering how DRG's playing right now, I hope he gets a relatively easy group.

Because Nestea is no longer the force he was. He is still good but before the ONLY person who was favored against him was MVP who now has deteriorated to be much more average due to body problems

Yes, MVP is so 'average' that he won a GSL and IEM this year... I mean, yes, he is no longer as dominant as mid -late 2011. But to call him 'average' is just silly.

Mvp set the bar so high for himself last year that anything less than winning every tournament he enters or at least getting top 3/semifinals is average by his standards

Here are some reasons why people say nestea isn't a threat:
1. He has not won a tournament in a year 2. He has only ever won GSL.
It shows that he was good mostly because of his extremely smart planning but now people have either gotten good enough mechanically that his planning won't carry him through matches or people have learned to plan as well as him.
Not saying Nestea is bad but he's not the fear inducing zerg god that he used to be.

Agree. I think it would be fair to call him less dominant as last year (I don't think anyone else has reached that level of dominance either). But 'average' is probably not the right word. It is like calling Flash 'average' because he didn't win OSL and had several losses in PL last year.
Instead of discussing whether or not MVP/Nestea have deteriorated, let's talk about DRG. What the fuck happened to him? In 1 month time, he went from the prince of zerg and turned into a tragic tale of volitility in Korea. Will we ever be chanting "DRG" ever again?
DRG can bounce back, it all depends on if he has the willpower to do so. It's not like he lost his skill his mental state just went to hell after his losses to MC in the ro4 and to Leenock in the ace match of the GSTL semi-finals.
EPT
hopefully they will be similarly awesome and help out again!
