Man, this is gonna be so interesting! Naniwa vs MMA, I have a feeling this is gonna be a great game. GO MMA!

 

[number386]

Hopefully MMA wins, I want a 0-3 nestea vs naniwa grudge match, with nestea winning of course!

 

[ksan]

Think nani has to win both his games, and MMA lose both his game for naniwa to go through.

[Striek]

Nexus first. Probably the best map for it PvT but still, ballsy.

 

[V_Arnold]

Not really. I don't think FD ever played a game that poorly. FDs fall I remember more due to his aggressive style becoming less and less effective (or more and more predictable). That was just sloppy mechanics from Nestea.

Dude, even if Nestea has ONE game that is sloppy, that does not make him an FD, or worse than FD. This is a strong delusion backed up by your urge to label Nestea as a failure for some reason. Stop

 

[Striek]

Proxy thors...crazy, awesome, and probably easily going to work.

Edit: ^ Its been two games tonight thus far, and his mediocre Code S performance. Its happening, don't deny it.

 

[jersoc]

oh wow, khaldor called something right.

and lol @ korean commentors there

 

[ghst]

khaldor redeemed.

i love mma's suicide scv, pretending he's desperate to scout like he gives a fuck what naniwa is building.

 

[Yoshichan]

Proxy Thor... ridiculous.

 

[ksan]

BIT BY BIT!

 

[Yoshichan]

Hahaha! Double forge, 2 sentry warp-in and observer from robotic

Oh, it is been TWO games? Losing to some of the best players in the world? Oh, how horrible. FD does not even have the right to fight these people. Do not delude yourself further.

 

[TheThunder]

bye bye naniwa

 

[Tacitus_]

Naniwa is so dead.

 

[jersoc]

ok, that was awesome by MMA.

oh wow, he killed the thors?! mma over confident.

 

[Madrical]

Holy shit!

 

[Tacitus_]

Oh dammit MMA.

 

[Yoshichan]

TOP 3 THOR CONTROL

wtf...

 

[AdventureRacing]

Nestea what has happened to you? I can understand when the game seems to just move past a player (like fruitdealer) but nestea is dying to things he used to crush. I would say he doesn't care anymore but you can see the frustration.

 

[Tacitus_]

That was scary MMA.

 

[TheThunder]

Stay free champ

 

[Madrical]

That was intense. Poor nani.

 

[jersoc]

oh man, if he didn't get supply blocked he probably would have won that. poor naniwa

 

[V_Arnold]

Nestea is right now in bad shape. We will see whether he falls further or mans up. Rename yourself to Pepsi Max, and problem solved.

 

[Yoshichan]

That was way too close MMA. Way too close.

 

[vicissitudes]

Can't believe MMA almost blew that. I think he pulled off way more SCVs than necessary.

 

[ghst]

mma so looked that build up on tl during the break.

 

[Deadman]

He almost managed to lose his complete free win, that was impressive.

Terran cheese like that will become so popular on that map. You have to go expansion first to not be really behind and the map is so big that any proxies are basically unscoutable, obviously you can never get in the terran base either.

 

[jorma]

I sort of called it yesterday, but i still feel so bad for Naniwa.

He still showed he is a better player than most of the current code S lineup, he will be able to do well there.

 

[ksan]

No, he just played like shit.

 

[vicissitudes]

Khaldor said Polt will struggle the most...in a group with Naniwa? Come on dawg.

 

[Dooraven]

Naniwa is super greedy, he needs to understand that Koreans will punish everything, you can may be pull that stuff in Europe but not in Korea. But yeah it's almost impossible to scout terran cheeses.

Still as long as he keeps practising in Startale he'll be fine.

 

[Yoshichan]

No, he just played like shit.

This.

Strategy was good but holy crap was that Thor control hilariously bad.

 

[vicissitudes]

No, he just played like shit.

That also, but his 3rd Thor came much later because he was barely mining.

 

[AdventureRacing]

MMA played like shit and didn't deserve to win that game. You could just get a bronze player to amove that army and they would have most likely won. How he managed to nearly lose that boggles my mind.

Anyone who has watched ForGG's stream will know this is about to become even more the case. He is basically demolishing the Korean ladder with 1 and 2 base attacks. It's pretty scary how easily he is dealing with the other top Korean players. Half the time i just feel like he's trolling everyone.

I get the feeling some of his builds have the potential to make a big shift in the meta game, especially in the early game.

naniwa will get stomped in code S

 

[Pandaman]

gas before pool in ZvT... and they call it greedy?

there are no pony images for how im feelings.

 

[Finalow]

amazing leenock.

 

[Striek]

Wow amazing hold by Leenock. Crazy.

Oh, it is been TWO games? Losing to some of the best players in the world? Oh, how horrible. FD does not even have the right to fight these people. Do not delude yourself further.

Not merely losing to two of the best players in the world, embarrassing himself with his standard of play. And I forgot (erased from my memory) the game on crossfire, so its actually 3. 3 games exhibiting mediocre mechanics and awful decision making. This is Nestea, who a couple seasons ago was godlike and this season didn't make it out of the ro16 in code S. I'm sure he'll beat Naniwa but damn, stop denying yo.

It's greedy to try to win.

You have to agree that it's absolutely ridiculous that a pro would ever need a third thor in a game like that. If you're gonna do a bo like that, at least do it properly, not like someone who only plays 4v4s every sunday.

 

[V_Arnold]

Lol, Striek. Just lol. You have no idea what "being a bad shape" means, do you?

 

[Yoshichan]

Perfect management, Leenock.

 

[EviLore]

I'm sure he'll beat Naniwa but damn

Will he? :/ Naniwa took both series against him at MLG Providence.

He also lost to Naniwa twice in MLG, and his loss to Huk in Code S was cringeworthy.

 

[jersoc]

fuck yeah! go leenock. polt is gone

 

[Yoshichan]

Bah. gg.

 

[slidewinder]

Pretty fucking boss.

 

[jrock]

Leenok had super impressive baneling timing. Holy jumpin!

 

[vicissitudes]

Really impressive saving his hatch early on.
