Head says Creator, Heart hopes that NesTea enjoys HoTS and is on the same upwards path that he seems to have been on in WoL lately.

Please Creator, don't let me down ;_;.

I really hope that switching to HoTS brings back nestea from the early days of winds of liberty. He was really a sight to see.

NesTea with mutalisks. I am 100% sure he will! :D

In WoL, yes. In HotS, not so sure.

Nestea is a build order master, often coming up with very innovative ideas. Creator is kinda the same, but seems more reliant on hitting weak points in the current metagame and refining builds.
Normally Creator would be favored, but I could def. see Nestea taking him out here. After all, he is the Creator of the Universe.

Creator has quite a bit of HoTS played as of now but I'm not sure how much he had played when these games took place. Hopefully the Prime players pull through!

sooooooooooooooooooooo excited to see NesTea's hots play...

Nestea needed to focus on creating baneling all-ins in WoL for his match vs aLive.

I wonder if NesTea can convince blizzard to give him the baneling that explodes into more smaller banelings from the HoTS campaign to use in real games

Good protosses are really hard to beat in HOTS. Both the players probably will be prepared, but Creator will win easily.

I would guess Creator'd have less time to practice HoTS, but I have no idea. He's amazingly smart so he's probably got builds planned.
I expect atleast 1 baneling all in from Nestea though :p

i don't even know who to root for. i like both these motherfuckers.
|
Nestea beat Bisu in a showmatch (I guess before blizzcup finals), so he wins

gogogo come on nestea make zergs have some kind of hope for hots!

Maaan, this is some sweet streaming quality 
|
Just tuned in. What was that timing?
|
Wow, pretty nice timing there. Creator takes Game 1, don't think Creator will win X-0, though.
|
Funny how often the casters are totally off with their comments.
|
The only Korean Zergs at MLG will be Life and Leenock. Because they qualified from top 4 of MLG fall.

I wouldn't call it funny, I'd call the the utmost common thing from any caster. Except Artosis because he's some sort of sorcerer.

Bad luck, Nestea
Managed to hide spire, creator goes mass stargate anyway

Another time-warp on air units.
Doesn't anyone read tool-tips anymore?

Most underwhelming battle ever. Gigantic muta flock against 6-7 phonenix and 8 voids. Muta melted.
|
|
|
Blizzard really did a good job of splitting the Protoss deathball in HotS.
|
NesTea has a bad habit of just massing Mutas and Spines on Whirlwind.

ok ZvP in HotS. Protoss goes stargate phoenix voids on such a large map. What does zerg is supprosed to do? Mutas? Don't work. Hydra? Nope... So what?

Mass muta was a bad choice on Nestea's part vs someone who opened phoenix. It just doesn't work.

Man, Nestea is like twice the age of Creator.
|
Nestea in a nutshell: prepare and train hard with complex sophisticated strategies.
When the match starts, suddenly decide to just make mutas. ¯\_(oo-)_/¯

Burrow at hatchery tech obviously! One base all in. You also get fast overlord speed, the Protoss is so confused doesn't know what hit him when your 7 Roaches knock at his door.

Yes, obviously  But, yeah, definitely a bad decision by Nestea. Makes me wonder if he has played HoTS. It's a very uncharacteristic mistake by prof. Nestea. Making massive micro blunders is in character, making stupid build decisions is not.

Mutas worked well at the start, but he has to to get infestors out for fungals and added dps, otherwise phoenixes just lol at mutas with their upgraded range..

He still has code A so probably not as much.

NesTea got a bit lucky with Creator's build, but I think he will still hold.
|
Nestea gonna get slaughtered.

|

Critical error to research Burrow there. I wonder why he even decided to research it there, it would have been so much safer to do it at the main.
|
Worst series so far 
G1: Cheese,
G2: STOOPID-Bomb,
G3: Fail-cheese into die to cheese.
|
Matches like this just make me want the Warp-in mechanism be removed and protoss redesigned....
These games are so boring; building up 8 minutes and then 1 timing attack/all in
|
does anyone know what nestea said at the end of that game?
|
hm I am glad Creator made it. However, the games were horribly one-sided and hardly interesting T_T

So you'd re-design Warpgate so that Protoss don't have all-ins?

T_______________________T

And thus, it ended 3-0, like I didn't predict. Hmm, maybe the game still isn't ready for release.

I dont think you can judge if the game is ready for release or not based off these games. They were played about a week ago and one of the IM players said no one had basically touched the game yet that was still in the GSL. NesTea and Creator still have Code A matches to play so they haven't switched to HoTS full time. There's still a lot of stuff to figure out.

So that not all Protoss warp gate attacks are all-ins, preferably.

It's OK, they're not all in anymore. Protoss can just recall if it doesn't work.

Nestea actually even streamed HotS several weeks ago. He also played in showmatches on 2 different occasions, one of which was the 1st HotS showmatch series ever, AFAIK. I'm pretty sure he has more experience with HotS than Creator does.

I'm pretty sure for both the hots showmatches, he just showed up without practicing (or practicing much)

It's ready for release when the SP campaign is finished and polished, they'll balance the rest of the stuff as they go along, like they did with WoL.
Obviously it's imbalanced now, not as badly as WoL was at release but it is and pros will figure out more and more completely imbalanced exploits that can destroy tournaments as they play more games.
You just have to accept that for the first few months everything will be a bit volatile and results don't necessarily represent player skill completely.
Just watch and fun and try not to root for one race too hard, depending on the state of the game and on which one it is you might get depressed about results or get too used to success and get depressed after inevitable nerfs. :D
And no way NesTea has more experience with HotS than Creator, that isn't even close. The Prime kid has practiced quite a bit, like all of his teammates.

I doubt it, Prime is pretty HEAVILY into Hots, more so than they should considering up coming matches TBH.

Creator had 210 ladder matches played as of last night. I dont know the timespan for playing all of them though. His ladder account is SKTRain

Prime is really OP right now. They have both SKTRain and KTFlash on the same team

Wouldn't draw much from this. The games were played live on Gisado's stream right after Nestea gave his post-interview in code A in which he stated he hadn't really been playing HotS. Had a lv 10 account on the stream as well, so take from that what you will.

Yeah idk. It seems to be a Prime thing. KTFlash = Marineking, SKTRain = Creator, CJEffOrt = Emir/HogU whatever his name is. that new zerg

I dont know the timespan for playing all of them though. His ladder account is SKTRain Really? I wonder why they don't pick their names. I find it irritating how they name themselves after good players like that -_-. Yeah idk. It seems to be a Prime thing. KTFlash = Marineking, SKTRain = Creator, CJEffOrt = Emir/HogU whatever his name is. that new zerg It probably ended up as a joke about how MarineKing went by the name Boxer at first
And Creator named himself after NesTea after all.

After watching the series I feel like phoenix shouldn't be able to decimate mutalisks so easily. They have the range, do bonus damage, and attack while they move. While it doesn't hurt all match ups it seems to easily cut through muta plays, maybe if they could remove the bonus damage vs muta? IDK, there needs to be some drawback for the phoenix maybe reduce shield HP or something.

I also feel like phoenixes are way too good against mutas, it just seems so 1 dimensional "oh you went mutas? good cause I got phoenixes! I WIN!"

so funny they increased the muta speed by 5% or something to see more muta play but buffed the hardcounters 10 times more lol, well muta all the way in zvz at least

If phoenix didn't hard counter muta, protoss would have no variety at all and no follow up to defending it. Zerg would go muta, protoss would answer with blink + storm, and zerg would take every base on the map, pressure with swarm host, and then push with the doom army that protoss doesn't have gas to stop.
And really, it's not exactly any harsher than other unit responses in the game. It's not like zerglings do better against colossi or brood lords do better against vikings.
