NesTea is a baller!

"I have three wins, so I really shouldn’t be talking about nerfing terran or anything like that; it’s kinda awkward."

Some worry that because of the dominance of the swarm, terran won’t be nerfed for some time.
I have three wins, so I really shouldn’t be talking about nerfing terran or anything like that; it’s kinda awkward. To be honest, ZvT is pretty tough, but it’s not impossible. We shouldn’t blindly call for terran nerfs before investigating and researching the matchup more.


<3 This comment. I have always hated the OMG nerf this nerf that mentality some have. Hehe but its not like he is didn't have his fair share of whining

If I don’t work very hard while at my peak, it’ll be tough to survive in this scene, so I’m continuing to put in extraordinary effort.
Although there are a lot of players who work extremely hard, I don’t think any work harder than me. I don’t travel anywhere for fun, and I really hope to get a break. My practice partners say my worker count is always higher than other zergs’, so I guess that would be a difference. This isn’t a secret so much as a habit


And there you have it. Talent + extreme dedication

He has always whined about Terran until recently though.
Sometimes it's funny is that, you have to to get interviewed to whine, and so far we hear the whine from Nestea the most.

Nestea seems to claim that he is confident against MVP, so I would definitely like to see that.

My poor Losira T_T

Congratulations to NesTea; the guy is an absolute monster. Some interesting thoughts in his interview, I had a giggle out of the TvZ comment.

Oh what, he doesn't live in the team house?

I recall John saying that Nestea doesn't live in the team house because he can't smoke there, and that if he could smoke in the booth he would lol.

Don't know if he was trolling but that's what he said!

I really hope Nestea does well next season :D I really want to see him at MLG or Dreamhack <3 I feel like we don't get enough exposure to him since he only plays in the GSL and rarely comes out in the GSTL.

Hm in his previous interview he did say he was in the team house and it was hard for him to practice because Horror is sitting next to Losira.

So i'll assume that being the senior, he stayed home the past week so the practice sessions didn't become uncomfortable.

Surprised they didn't mention anything about the fact that it was an undefeated championship. Thanks for the translation!

Btw, there was a Q&A the chinese article seems to have left out. It was between Q8 & 9. Maybe they thought it was redundant because of its length? Anywho, here it is:

Could you evaluate LosirA’s play briefly?
Today’s tactics were ones I hadn’t ever displayed before. It’s possible that because he was facing these for the first time, he didn’t respond well. Although LosirA’s play did leave me somewhat disappointed, he was no small challenge to beat.


This would such a great opportunity for the disappointed Asian father meme....

It is sad that the GSL despite being a collection of some of the greatest players in the world is cursed with yet another one-sided final. Congrats to Nestea!!!

I really hope all this success from Nestea will encourage other old retired BW players to give this game a shot. IM LOOKING AT YOU YELLOW/REACH.

I think you might have hit something there :D

In any case. NesTea winning multiple GSL's just shows that it doesn't matter what age you are.
I just hope that one of the old legens Boxer/July/NaDa wins a GSL or if any other legend transitions to sc2 (KANG MIN PLZ! when his service ends) to boost e-sports in Korea more and eventually world wide.

while at times zergbong/nestea may be mocked for being (mainly) a teamplay player back in bw with mediocre stats, i'm sure 99% of people weren't aware he was pretty much one of (if not) the best amateur zerg in 02-03 (he was practice partners with players like xellos and nada).

(note jinro posts from 2003, how cute)

however he decided to forgo his progaming career to do military service (not sure if he did university as well though). because of this decision, he fell behind (2005-06 saw a HUGE shift into the macro-based play we know today), and after becoming pro in 2006, he was subsequently persuaded to start practicing mainly for teamplay on ktf (now kt).
