Nesteas record V. Toss for the gsl was 17-3. Id say his ZvP is pretty fantastic.

And yet he still says toss is OP :/

Well considering the counter argument is "Crossfire is imbalanced against Zerg" you have to show at least SOME evidence for that statement. Unfortunately you can't because the only evidence available shows a favorable win % for Zerg. Sorry, but the "map is balanced" argument wins here. The evidence is called "common sense." The stats are irrelevant if they ignore the players, the mistakes, and other crucial specifics. And the sample size is small. | ||

When you get a bigger sample size over a longer period of time, sure. Saying 98 games is not a good enough sample size makes you look retarded You also have to take into account which players played whom in those statistics, or otherwise, they're misleading. I mean, if it was July or NesTea owning up players like anypro on that map, it's the skill difference that won them the game. The game that burns fresh in my mind is the sC vs. NesTea game, where sC made so many more small mistakes than NesTea, yet the game still came down to the wire. Every game I've seen on that map where a strong 2-3 base Terran plays a solid contain game on the high ground, the Zerg almost always loses. Although, I do think that the map is more skewed towards TvZ than PvZ, as the stats show. | ||

There is simply no real answer to forcefields. Because air units, backdoors, drops, and massive units don't exist None of those things are viable in ZvP; at best they're risky with minor potential payoffs. Yes they are. A baneling drop on the mineral line only has a minor potential payoff? Or baneling drop with ling roach on the army? Or mass muta which is pretty strong until the Protoss get Templar or went Stargate. And all Zergs should use backdoors because it exploits Protoss' main weakness. Immobility compared to the Zerg. Ofcourse you can't use all of these in every game, some maps it's just no feasible but to just completely write them all off as not viable? Lol. | ||

Who's talking about him? Someone like MC? Oh wait, he's already beaten MC in Season 2. Granted, MC wasn't at good at execution as he is now). Someone like Squirtle (who still hasn't made Code S)? Oh wait, he already beaten Squirtle in the GSTL. Guess your statement has zero legs to stand on. | ||

If the best zerg in the world can't have a good win rate against protoss then it would be hopeless. Plus he hasn't had to play people like MC lately. | ||
