With next to no macro hatches and also doesn't have all the open bases on the map by this 10k point.

Nestea isn't gonna say "Hey i let him win because i felt sorry for the raping he took the night b4" But that is simply exactly what happened.


Okay, we get it. You think he threw the game. But judging from his reaction and the interviews he did I doubt it. He seemed really flustered in every interview and obviously wasn't happy about the loss. Besides, there is no logical reason for him to throw the game. Just because MVP lost to MMA (a series where MVP looked really tilted/tired) doesn't mean Nestea would hand him first place. We've seen DRG and Nestea throw away won games before, it's just the nature of making mistakes in TvZ.

It's hilarious people think NesTea would hand a win over to MVP out of pity. NesTea's got a lot of pride, and he's nice but he's not that nice to his teammates.

(If he were that nice, he would've dropped at least one game to LosirA instead of trashing him 4-0 in the GSL.)

Losira's ZvZ is just that bad you would have really been able to tell he was throwing games then. Which is highly illegal.

It can happen when you have all the macro hatches you need and have every base on the map which nestea had neither of.

Zerg is also made to throw units away at that point why did he not do that? You will rarely win 200/200 Z v ? so why is it nestea sat there and threw absolutely nothing at MVP til he gathered 19 ghosts?

I feel like a lot of the wild speculation about NesTea throwing the last match stems from otherwise-reasonable people failing to recognize that they are in no position to judge the thought processes or mental states of NesTea and MVP at that point in the tournament. It's not a position that you or I have ever been in, and neither you nor I have put in the countless hours of training that NesTea or MVP have into becoming good at SC2, so it's a little silly to think that we can sit back as audience members and properly assess what they were thinking at the time.

Of course, in retrospect it's incredibly easy to see that what NesTea did at the end was a mistake, and that he should have done things differently. It's also really easy to sit back as an audience member with full vision of both players and say that one player is making a mistake based on what we can see of the other player. It's just really tough to really assess what NesTea was thinking and what he was doing as an audience member with the broader set of information that you're afforded.

Can we stop with the "Nestea threw the game" bullshit? It is enough already.

Awesome interviews. Seems like there were some problems with the translating but very informative regardless.

When they're maxed? Seriously, during the time he was maxed he was trying to find a way to engage without heading straight onto like 15 ghosts siege tanks and planetary fortresses in a choke. Then he attacked and it was horribly cost inefficient, he wasn't going to win that game head on no matter how he did it.

At that point no when he had enough blings to wipe the map clean. He sure as hell could have. IMHO it defaced the value of e-sports. Pretty much everyone here admits something was fishy but they don't know what.

Ya i have seen Nestea maxed b4 what i have never seen is him or ANY pro for that matter maxed with 10k minerals building no static D no extra macro hatches no extra bases.

When he rolls the dude and has nothing but a few hour break b4 the next games then plays 10x worse?? Somehow i don't buy that.


well thats completely understandable cause im assuming u must play at a bronze level and not realize how hard the meta game of sc2 is when u play someone alllllllll the time 24/7 as a teammate too. But congrats on sounding extremely ignorant since you know so much about playing on the biggest stages of Sc2.

Without any actual support of your 'argument', you should just get the hell out and stop posting the same thing over and over.

If anything is 'defacing' the value of e-sports, its people that make claims about fixed/intentionally thrown games without any proof. Next to that, your analysis is so poor and lacking actual understanding of the game that you shouldn't actually be commenting on actual gameplay.
