And yet, all he's managed to get in a whole year and a half is a quarter finals. I think Nada's playstyle is way too passive, it might have worked in SC1 but in SC2 terran is an aggressive race, and his playstyle is completely unadapted. He's got a lot of work cut out for him if he wants to win a GSL, he needs to rework his entire playstyle. Also, he's old. | ||

You can't blame Inca for abusing Nada's passivity, if Inca managed to exploit it so easily I don't see how Nada would have won a best of 7 in the finals anyway. No, the problem is his playstyle, he plays Terran like Protoss, sitting forever macroing defending without ever attacking, except unlike Protoss he can't get a powerful death ball that can win in a straight battle maxed out. His playstyle makes no sense for Terran in SC2. | ||

The most decorated BW player and one of the greatest ESPORTS legends in a foreign team for money ? I hope not. Imo he should start his own thing or join Slayers. The prospect of him joining a team with a say year long CJ B-teamer is disturbing for me. I like team liquid for the types of players they pick up, Would I want sheth ( or any TL player) to be the flash of sc2 to give up being as sweet as he (they) is? nonono I wouldn't Give Nada a chance liquid Nada gogo | ||

He's not older than Nestea, who has won 3 championships so far, of which 1 was when his race was 2 times less powerful than Terran and still managed to win. There's really no angle to explain Nada's underwhelming results so far, except that maybe he picked the absolute wrong race for his playstyle, i.e. passivity and reaction. | ||

His playstyle makes no sense for Terran in SC2. Have you watched his stream? That isn't his playstyle at all. Maybe it was once upon a time, but just because it was once doesn't mean it is now. He does all the standard Terran harrassment: banshees, hellions, drops etc and timing attacks too. He also remains one of the most consistent players in SC2 just like he was in BW, so it's a tough argument to say that his playstyle was failing badly at any one point. Admittedly his win ratio has never been exceptional, but it's definitely been consistently decent. | ||

Nada is extremely passive, he will NEVER be willing to risk it all on an all-in for example, and that's his Achilles heel. Everybody in the GSL knows it, he's no threat in the early-mid game, and everybody knows how to exploit his passivity by either cheesing him or outmacroing him by expanding more. He's like Idra a year ago, except Idra is aware of it and has worked a lot to be less predictable, whereas Nada has made virtually no adjustement. And Idra plays a more passive race, and even then his passivity was a problem, let alone for a Terran. | ||
