Well it was pretty obvious Taeja's gonna crush NesTea,hes T v Z is one of the best,but still i think NesTea has a good shoot at finishing second place.

There should be a rule in GSL - NesTea is in code S, he dont drop to code A, he just has his spot non stop

We all know there should also be a Nestea spot in every plane, train and automobile. He's that good.

If Soulkey wins now with how bad he played against Noblesse (who played even worse) I'll hate him forever.

Was nestea on medication? His reaction timing looked awful. I almost feel bad at this point.

You guys way too harsh on nestea. He came out of nowhere and stomped through code B and code A back to code S in one go. He looked great at ironsquid, losing by like one broodling to DRG in game 5 and then just smashing MKP 3-0.

He had one so-so match and Taeja played perfect. Have a little faith.

MKP said in his interview that he was still jetlagged and was a bit tired if i remember.

in particular, older people are more affected. : P it's okay, nestea still has a good chance, unless soulkey beats taeja, then I have no idea.

Yes guys, blame it on the jetlag that Nestea lost to Taeja... That surely is the case :o

Just saw the winner prediction on the GOM site, reads:

NesTea is looking like he is back in form, but TaeJa, Soulkey, and Noblesse are no pushovers (well, maybe Noblesse).

Poor Noblesse, nobody loves him.

I don't think Nestea is in a slump anymore. He was playing quite well at Ironsquid and in the Up&Down Matches.

He is not back at championship-level of play but he is also far from playing bad at the moment

Well, he did have pretty much the easiest up and down group. It doesn't seem to me Nestea will ever be able to perform up to the level of the ever-increasing talent pool that is flooding into SC2. I hope I'm wrong.

It's no surprise he lost to Taeja. People are just mentioning his jetlag as a reason for why he looked as poor as he did that game. I assume. Having not watched it myself.
