Because he didn't have to lose it, he chose to lose it by leaving his mutalisks clumped over the archons without any micro at all.

Mutalisks are not too good against archons. Also zealot forces held zerglings and roaches from killing archons. He might have win that with better mutalisk flank.
Nerchio managed his economy quite poorly that game. he had too many drones on gas and too few on minerals, couldn't use all his gas when he needed to and it cost him when Stardust attacked (who was more or less all-in right there)
Blizzard really needs to normalize these formats. Korea decides to play bo7 semis for two seasons, then goes back to bo5. the other leagues have always had bo5 semis. the 5th place decider matches are just all over the place with different formats between regions as well as seasons. the fair way to do that would be a GSL style group anyways. what the fuck man.

NaNiwa is in 15th place now and can be passed by duckdeok should he get 5th place.
Top 16 advances to the WCS Finals. If duckdeok advances to the Season Finals Naniwa will be 16th, and there are a few players, i.e., SOo, Vortix, Dear, and Genius that can pass him. All these players, however, are 700 or more points behind Naniwa. That said, they can win many points in the Regional and Season Finals...
