DID I JUST SEE THAT?
Stephano just made the ANTI-COUNTER to illusions hellion/marauder timing... and won.
He went a blindish roach/ling timing against 3 tech labbed rax maraduer hellion timing... and he won. Illusion had a better econ due to mules.
That straight pisses me off.

I guess having really good micro comes in handy doesn't it?

Kas vs Stephano is sure to provide very entertaining games !
|
It all comes down to control and mechanics.
Marauder counter Roaches and Hellions counter lings. Yes. But Lings counter marauders and Roaches counter hellions.

What the fuck you got against queen energy bro... Miss an inject every once in a while for christs sake

Starting to get late and when Stephano is tired he plays very sloppy I think its the reason why it was so short games vs Illlusion..
But lets hope Kas can put up a decent fight

he lucked out because illusion had moved out into the middle of the map with his first few units and got overrun. It would've been a lot different if the engagement had happened in illusion's natural.

Stephano is just basically all-inning at this point because it's 2am in France atm...
So I think the finals should be a bit disappointing in that regard. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong for those who will watch it; as for me, I have to go to bed :/

Well... I can't say that he doesn't deserve his punishment... But DAMN I WANTED TO SEE STEPHANO VS KAS! ;_;
Context: Stephano was tired and said that he didn't want to play against Kas due to being tired and logged off telling ONOG that Kas could get the win. He was therefore demoted to 4th place, and the finals will be either Kas/Illusion or Kas/CatZ.

He has been playing for over 12 hours I understand why he coulnt play anymore. And I think the decision is ok by the admins.

I think it's good that you take care of yourself Stephano. Don't overcommit though, you should have been in the invitational in the first place, if you didn't think you'd be able to be in it to the end. But I respect your decision (though the way you did it was a bit disrespectful).
Love your play (and your music), keep going strong!

Seeing Kas in his current shape vs Stephano who's Stephano would've been spectacular.

They screwed him out of revenge for not fulfilling his obligations.
Probably cost him over 1000, since 4th pays out only 150 and first pays out 1500.
Hasty decision probably, but doesn't change the fact that he's the best foreigner in the world. Just makes him 1500 poorer
|
yeah stupid call on his part.
|
Man if he is played for 12 hours I can understand him...Making EU players play at 4-5 am is ridiculous
|
Both sides were at fault, but Steph probably shouldn't have signed up for two tourneys the same day.
As dsousa said, doesn't change the fact he probably the best foreigner.
Hopefully people don't make too big of a fucking deal about it.

I feel its understable by the organizers. Its good that he forfeited and not just cheesed the whole finals. But he should have planned it out better beforehand and disappointed a lot of fans.
|
Instead of focusing on the negative, you should be happy and thank stephano. If he stays against his will and plays, his hearts not going to be in it, so we will have some iffy games. Maybe he would toss i some All-ins to save time. This way we have players who want to play, and hopefully it will be a great final.
Stephano doing his thing, appreciate the balls he has to stick up for himself.

mhm interesting decision making (can't quite follow it)... giving up more than 1000$ and the time he had already put into the tournament must be quite hard... he must be really tired
