Actually, you could have noticed that all recent tournaments ended in a zvz fest.

Oh wait!
Nice dick move moving the only non-zvz match even further back.

"relax"?

he is absolutely correct, moving a match further back after already announcing it, is a dick move.

If I only wanted to catch the one of the matches, then I would assume minimum 1 hour per Bo5, and plan my schedule accordingly.

Yeah that's just such a terrible attitude, if you dont want to watch ZvZ then quit watching StarCraft because you know with HoTS coming soon the state of the game isnt going to change for WoL, so instead of crying about ZvZ, learn to enjoy the match-up, because it has some depth ( even though i'm terribad at it )

Hard to call since we don't know Nestea ZvZ strength atm. But Nestea used to be allmost invincible in the ZvZ match up.


It is a little odd that a player that we know have probably the best ZvZ out of all foreigners are considered a underdog against a zerg which we seen very little ZvZ from lately. Pretty much because he is a korean.

Guess old habits die hard ^^

It is like they are trying to keep viewers through all these ZvZ's by prolonging the MKP vs. MC

Not because he's Korean, but because he's Nestea. He's one of the smartest players.

What about lag?

NesTea's strategy was old and bad, it relies on the opponent to not make any banelings, and if you scout no hatchery at a timing of hatch first, or pool into 16 hatch, you make a baneling nest.

It's a figured out strategy, and will probably only work on some KesPA players who haven't experienced all the strategies from the past.

Alternating KR and NA, 5th game is coinflip to determine server. Don't know on which one they started.

Edit: This was confirmed by ironsquid somewhere in this thread

Life: "Hey NesTea here's a cool idea; we both go down 0-2 against the foreigners and then make comebacks!"
NesTea: "Sounds like a cool idea!"

*Life goes down 0-2 then wins 3-2*

NesTea: "Now my turn!"

*NesTea goes down 0-2, loses game 3"

Life: "Ahahahahaha!"

That was in Tal'Darim Altar though. It is a lot easier to defend it on Ohana, because there are ramps and it is a lot easier to bring a Queen to the Natural from the Main. It is also easier to scout on Ohana because units are going to run under Overlords on Ohana whereas on TDA it is a lot harder to spot the oncoming units with Overlords because it is a 4 player map and your opponents spawning position needs to be discovered.

I only saw the last game. How did Life lose the first two games?


Goswser came up with a counter build to Life's play that centers around a Roach/Bane bust at a specific timing. Life lost twice, then adapted and crushed it every time.


That's not a bad strategy to use. Kudos to Goswser for the planning.

I couldn't plan, I had to play the match 1 hour after I beat MVP, because I was leaving for Vegas.
Edit: not trying to make excuse, probably shouldn't have posted this at all. Life is by far the better player, I hope he wins in Paris.

They started on NA. You can tell by who has a weird name account and who's using their regular one (Nestea was Random last game and is IMNestea now, Scarlett was Scarlett last game and is IronSquid now).

it was actually planned but didn't get the info before posting the OP, since things are pretty rushy I didn't ask about it before hands, sorry about that.

Keep in mind that you're provided with a 100% free HD stream, switchin a game is not a "dick move" since it's not to drag the audence but rather to have the most peoplehaving the games they want to watch (8pm is closer to a prime time)
