It's not like JYP was attacking with pure colossus So? You still need 20+ Vikings against 7 Colossi, end of story. | ||

I'm saying that almost all of the people who he beat were actually really bad, even for that time's standards. (the only exceptions that come to mind are MKP and sC). Every time he faced an opponent of his calibre he got destroyed (Mvp was the first to illustrate this, then MMA in August) If he had to face Mvp in every one of his GSLs I doubt he would have won more than a single one. But it's moot to argue about it now. I don't think he'll drop out of GSL altogether too soon, given that he's good at preparing and usually lucky with brackets (which is the point I was trying to make all this time). We'll see. Go back and look at the brackets, he beat great players in his open run and a mix of good and not so good players in his other two runs. Either way he deserved 3 championships. | ||

Why didn't he face MVP in every one of his Finals appearances? Overall, I do agree that MVP is better than Nestea but that doesn't mean he can't win against him in a bo3. If Nestea made it to a GSL finals and won it we can't argue that he was the best player that season and we shouldn't take anything away from his accomplishments by saying he only got there because all the players he beat were bad. | ||

I can only speak for myself but I could see this being due to french casters. That works for all sports. French commentators always have had a way of making me wish to see french people losing. | ||

It's venting frustration at people like you in a really hilarious, and indirectly mocking, way. You make my head hurt. Whatever people will always believe crazy things. | ||

Astray implies lost. Like he randomly move-commanded them to some places and forgot about them. It was pretty obviously that he didn't that game. Entombed Valley is a big map and I'll admit that by doing what he did he made huge risks. But it paid off. SC2 = risky game. | ||

Plus I think JYP has a very good chance indeed to beat Life. That's actually not unlikely IMO. I know StarCraft can be very volatile and hard to predict at times, but Life is an insane beast at the moment, SuperNoVa can definitely beat NesTea, especially if the latter is tilted, and then SuperNoVa vs JYP... I'm not sure. SuperNoVa has shown some sick TvP in the past, coupled with momentum of JYP losing his winners' match and NoVa winning his losers'. It's possible. | ||

I don't think he'll drop out of GSL altogether too soon, given that he's good at preparing and usually lucky with brackets (which is the point I was trying to make all this time). We'll see. MVP never destroyed Nestea. The first time they played in GSL January Nestea was the only person to take a game off MVP that season and the series was overall very close. The next time they played wasn't till GSL August and Nestea did get 2-0'd there but the first game was close and the second was a bunker wall at base entrance. There next match was Blizzcon which was an extremely close 3-4. Then they played again in October and Nestea was up 2-1 with an extremely strong lead in game 4 (literally in a position where if he attacks he almost gets a guaranteed win but unfortunately he didn't and the game went long and eventually turned around for MVP but the series was still very close. As for MMA yes he lost to him in August but he beat him in the very next GSL so... I don't get how you can say that Nestea was destroyed both the games were very close and Nestea won one of them. The overall post is dumb as well. If you make a GSL finals you aren't bad and Nestea's path wasn't ever that easy he just made it look like it was because he was so amazing relative to other players. Losira at the time of the Nestea vs Losira finals was the second best zerg and without a doubt a top 5 player in the world and had made a name for himself with amazing ZvZ. Nestea 4-0'd him. sC was probably the best TvZer in the world at the time of his and Nestea's semifinal match. Coca and July were both top 5 zergs at the times Nestea beat them. Maybe he would have lost if he met MVP (mostly because of MVP seems to have a psychological edge against him) it's not his fault MVP was busy dropping to Code A and losing in the ro32 of Code S. | ||

You're literally arguing for 40+ supply of units that are going to be useless when the insta-remax happens. The whole point of major engagements in TvP is that you have to take such a huge advantage that you can't lose to the faster remax. With that much supply that's essentially dead weight you're not going to do that. | ||
