I personally think Nestea-Byun would be the best Finals. I pretty much agree, Byun TvZ is really interesting, he showed versus Zenio that he can properly handle the late game. I would really want to see a Bo7 of him versus nestea. I don't think we will have Hongun beating nestea in the Ro4, because ZvP is not as volatile as PvP. I hope we won't have Nestea vs losira, or, even worse, hongun vs trikster finals How that would be better than Bomber vs Nestea :o Both are pretty much most hyped players right now. There would a great potential for awesome finals with those players.
Byun has a way better TvZ than Bomber.
Last night, in the Korean weekly tournament, Byun show some crazy lategame TvZ skill against Curious. Bomber got some kinda mediocre TvZ, as we see him losing against Moon or July kinda fast.

NesTea is simply scary.
I know that it would result in wailing and gnashing of teeth, but what I want to see is a Losira/NesTea final. The only thing more absurd would be an MC/InCa PvP Bo7. That would easily be the most inane set of matches to have occurred. There will be Proxy Hatcheries.
Though from an objective perspective, I do want to see one of the Terrans advance. That would be significantly more normal. And longer. Muuuuch longer.

Ooh, Nestea's like batman, the detective zerg who can beat anyone..if he prepares (because batman could beat superman if he had enough preparation time)! haha~

I wouldn't pay to much attention to this because the attitude of the statement was probably lost in translation.

Haha love Nesteas baller answers, no one will stand in his way from another 50k.

I know you mean that somewhat jokingly, but I think it's very, very true. NesTea + adequate preparation time + good condition = fucking beastly. But for some reason, I think that if he weren't given time to prepare for his opponents, he'd flounder a little bit. I don't really have much offline evidence for this obviously, but I have the impression that he wouldn't do as well in an MLG-style tournament where everything's just crunched together into a few days. But maybe that's just me. He doesn't do well in the small online tournaments, and while I understand that he likes to blame those results on lag, I can't help but feel it's also because he doesn't prepare very seriously for those tourneys as well.
I'm not sure what I meant say by all of that, other than that he's very well-suited for the GSL format.

For some reason, I really like HongUn's interviews. He just seems incredibly sincere, while injecting bits of humor into his answers. I'm happy for his great run here, and even if he loses to Nestea, well, he's probably going to lose to the first 3-time GSL champion, and there's really no one less shameful to lose to.

MC Ro16 interview :
«Since my opponent will be HongUn who is protoss, I will be able to prepare without much worry. My semifinal opponent will be a zerg. (...) My mind is already at the semi-finals. »
This has got to hurt :/
Yeah I have no idea what MC was thinking in those games. I don't think he does either.

how is that being hostile? hongun is just saying that he has no problems with nestea at all.
you misunderstood the sentence.
|
I'm admittedly hoping HongUn wins the season, just so that he can go out with a bang.
|
really, HongUn in the semis? So sad.
Maybe this will lead to MC at MLG?

I wonder...
If HongUn somehow manages to win the entire event, will the prize money be enough to pay for that wrist surgery?
|
Nestea is a real badass. He seems to be buying into his own legend so to speak, which is giving him a deadly amount of confidence.
HongUn's interview is just hilarious.
|
Hongun is good, but his play is incredibly boring and uninspiring :[ I really hope he doesn't make the finals or it'll be pretty lackluster.
|
HongUn's PVZ against FD on LT was one to remember.
|
Nestea has stated before that the only player he ever fears is mvp. With mvp out, and mc now, bet you nestea is feeling that 3rd trophy.

I wonder how the in-house games between Losira and NesTea go. Losira's shown some nice ZvZ in televised matches, but Coca apparently beats him all the time in practice.

I couldn't tell if that was IdrA or NesTea by reading the interview.
Gogo HongUn.

Only Nestea would feel unhappy about a 70% winrate in practice.

Maybe because every match could be his final match now?
And I can't find anything hostile either.
