LongDongRaeGu will take this one for sure. The only chance for Losira is to take a sip from Nesteas fountain of wisdom but I don't think Nestea will let him do that...

EDIT: AND WHERE'S MY MAP POOL!
Nestea is boring in zvz? Wut? I give Nestea the most credit in changing my opinion on this matchup from hated to enjoyable. His zvz is art.....although admittedly that might not be true with his recent play :p.
Anyway, DRG should take it. Hoping for the Losiracat to win though.
The games will probably suck, but only because it's AOL, not because it's zvz. I really feel like this matchup can be quite good at times, maybe not as good as tvt but still leagues above pvp and if it's played by top level zergs like these two it can be better than pvt/pvz. Maybe I'm just weird >.>...

Now, you see...I find that boring. Its the Artosis/InControl thing. I wanna see banelings barely missing a group of lings, muta battles galore, a critical fungal on a group of units, fires, explosions, everything. Screw figuring out anything, lemme see a gory death on both sides, and one person coming out the victor, bloody and tired.

IT'S COMING! IT'S COMING!!!
Just not here yet :/
Bud I need to go to bed soon....may just do the same thing I did today....
I think that IdrA vs Nestea was some of the best, most watchable ZvZ I've ever seen. You could see the genius in their play. Having seen that, I would say that Nestea's ZvZ is only boring because he's so much better - just like for a long period of time everyone thought MVP was boring, because he always won easily. Now that he's played closer, tenser games, he's much more fun to watch (MVP vs Leenock, anyone?).
If other Zergs improved to Nestea's ZvZ level consistently, ZvZ would IMO be consistently really fun to watch. I would imagine that DRG vs Nestea would be pretty good.

The winner since Yellow won a lot of special events

hmm, DRGs ZvZ is pretty good and I`ld bet on him in this match.
Really? Hmmm. I've always thought it looked really unimpressive, especially with him almost getting defeated by FD at IEM, then getting killed by Leenock even though he was up a series. It's not bad ... situationally. But it just seems unstable.
LosirA was known to have the second-best ZvZ just a few months ago; I don't see why he should suddenly be considered a walk-over for DRG (the poll from the first page is really one-sided). The TLPD looks one-sided but DRG has so few games that it's hard to draw a conclusion, and most of his games are played against pretty low-caliber ZvZ players anyways. Meanwhile, LosirA has more games and often plays against higher-caliber opponents in multiple Bo3+'s (and has five losses from NesTea).
Well Seeker, you've done it again. Excellent job with the Threads you put up every Tourney. I think Losira will take this one out, however I hope performs better this time than he did against Nestea in the GSL final last year...
