I like Nani as a player but always love waking up to some Nani PvP whine. No skill matchup is the reason why we can have dominant players in the matchup like Zest...

...by western standards, still better than most countries in the world. Using the very richest countries in the world as a benchmark makes a distorted worldview.

o.o why is ToD so surprised here? Didnt Rain in WoL already figure out the magic numbers of 8 colossi, then archons and then more immortals always win.
Naniwa had way too many zealots who dont do anything vs that amount of colossi unless he can flank which wasnt possible in this position.

Really fun game tho

I don't understand all the zealot count hype thing (which ToD get caught into). If you look at the units tabs which is shown just before the battle on the VOD, you'll see 35 zealots on Nani's side and ... 29 on Showtime's side. Could 6 zealots really have made the difference? I mean, for a battle in even a medium choke, 4 more immortals AND 4 more colossi sure will own those 10 more archons your opponent has (for a total of 15 we all know) who will not shoot for half the battle duration.

When you completly ignore a lot of tournaments (Dreamhacks, IEM qualifier runs, online tournaments, qualifier runs for other events) and recent results and write things about conceptions that are 3-4 years old then yeah, or what you just happend to catch that time you saw a foreigner play, then yeah you should.

Anyone can get predictions right, but having valueable, up to date information in a preview article would seem usefull to me. I know that I'm being mocked because I lost to heromarine and made that statement (the prediction is right), but, many times when there is an article written here about WCS, or Homestory Cup, I just get the impression someone is trying to score easy points by the writing style that is being used, without actual knowledge or facts to back any of it up.

The statement I made wasn't based on emotion, though It's very strange to read that 2 rax was the bane of my existance when I haven't lost in a tournament game to 2 rax in over a year, not to mention that every zerg has trouble with 11/11 2 rax, and every zerg in the world has lost plenty of games to it as there is simply no counter except for an early scout, be it with drone or overlord and reacting then
