Nestea was probably the 2nd best after YellOw, certainly the best amateur zerg, back in 2002-2003, but he left for military service and when he came back the game had evolved too much for him to catch up again.

He went under the name of Zergboy back then

Glad someone pointed this out. Back when he went by [df]zergboy..!!, he was a tremendous player and certainly the best amateur. Had he gone pro instead of doing his military service, he would have immediately made an impact. Lately people have done a huge revisionist history on nestea, so he's only known as the washed-up KTF 2on2 player. It's too bad...I still remember scouring YGClan for his replays back in 2002.

I like Idra, but anyone who thinks Mana is bad is just fucking wrong. Qualified for IEM China, 3rd IPL, 2nd Assembly, Top 4 at IEM. I'm just waiting for an actual tournament win, it's gonna come soon.

Who cares what IdrA think about MaNa when he isn't performing on the same level. Every time he loses he's like "I only lost because of x" implying it was a silly loss that doesn't count of something. I think he's too full of himself to ever be a champion. There are players who are more consistent and play on a higher level than he does and still he talks about SC2 being too easy, too random and bla bla bla.

im probably going to get a lot of hate for this but does anyone else feel the state of the game hosts except idra don't know shit about Europe players. i used to love the show but i started to feel a little frustrated. how the hell they don't know who stephano is, darkforce even though he went to them at the nasl,nerchio who is a beast and they don't give mana the respect he deserves(mana being such a nice guy and a beast).There are more examples but i dont recall them or i don't want to say something i'm not sure about...

Yo, just realized that although it's state of the game, they barely talk about balance issues instead mostly about events ( mlg especially) which I don't mind personally but for next episode it would be really nice to have a small discussion about the 1/1/1 build, perhaps while some terrans are hardcore abusing it @ mlg raleigh^^

I think it has to be an issue on SOTG since 3 of the pillars are actually protoss players^^

anyway keep up the great work, love hearing it everyweek

Yeah I think so too, but well there all US ppl and it's not a crucial thing for the show to know the euro players while talking about events and balance issues, except to know the winners of the event. I'm also glad that idra seems to know all of them, regardless if he respects them or hates them^^

It is kinda weird as european fans are knowledgeable about both the european and american community. In an ideal world SC2 should have a european SotG counterpart but it's hard with all the spoken languages and difference in english skills.

I think the EU might have a edge compared to the US and it's sad that EU evens and great players are overlooked.

How was he anywhere near the 2nd best zerg after Yellow? You're talking about an era where Chojja, Junwi, and even the Jin brothers were smacking people around in tournaments that actually mattered.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]
