sCfOu: I want a rematch with NesTea - Page 4

Protoss is the strongest, Terran is average, Zerg is the weakest.

giving money to the parents doesnt mean the parents go out and buy something for themselves. most likely the money is going towards paying the house or into the bank for the kid.

nestea is a lot better than sc it wuld appear since nestea went pool first with many lings every game sacrificing his econ greatly but still winning

I don't see why people think sC is all that great. He beat July using really exploitative timing builds and won the first game with NesTea with a bunker rush. In the fifth game, his Tank positioning and control was great, but NesTea made a lot of early mistakes in that game as well.

When I was last watching Idras stream, he quit a game immediately on Shattered Temple when NamhchiR dropped two bunkers down blocking his ramp. The resources necessary to overcome such an obstacle (that can itself be refunded nonetheless) for Zerg are gigantic compared to the resources and risk the Terran players takes. Bad maps make for bad play.

SC won the first game with a bunker rush vs Nestea. His bunker win didn't prove who was the better player, it proved that on that map in those circumstances Terran has a build that is incredible difficult to stop vs Zerg (with the bunker going down in an area that makes surrounding difficult, and with SCV's being spammed to "Stop" so drones don't auto-target, forcing a micro nightmare for Nestea). There is literally no good solution for Zerg in that situation (at least that I can think of) unless you have the foresight to lay down creep tumors so you can build Spines near your ramp or make a lot of lings (which means less drones) early, in which case the Terran player can back off and macro and be ahead.

Nestea did this in later games (built lots of lings), and it showed why Nestea is so much better. His macro exploded and he took out SC, despite committing far more resources to defend SC's rush, than SC committed to the rush.

Nestea doesn't play properly or seriously on ladder, so I thought he wasn't that good but when I played versus him in the GSL MAY Code S semi-finals, he was very good so I was caught off guard.

- If you use a strategy on battlenet it goes around pretty quickly, any complaints?
(Nestea) – I am extremely dissatisfied. When I ladder I cannot use a build that I would regularly use. So rather than taking the ladder seriously, I use it as fun or recreation. I use the ladder to feign weakness and I also use weird builds to play mind games on possible opponents.
