I would do dirty, dirty things to see him play on the KR ladder. Can someone explain how he can win all ZvTs with nothing but lings? It seems you'd have seriousss problems with things like Hellions or even just carefully executed pushes with a reasonable number of tanks to kill lings en masse (not to mention things like Banshees)

Hellions got nerfed hard, he does fast upgrades and defends while getting a lot of expansions with very little gas. He has spores and queens for banshees.

dude, you need to go to Korea, you won't learn much more on the EU server
or at least try to play on a Korean account and test out the latency

He goes for very fast upgrades (hive around the 11mn mark) and masses them off 6+ hatcheries and often as many queens. He stops all drops with them and just drowns the terran under glings whenever he moves out, pinning him to 2-3 bases max. Either the terran dies when he tries to move out, losing his army and then his natural, either he just runs out of ressources because he can't expand.
Imo it's not that the strat is awesome or lings that crazy good, Stephano just has better macro and makes it works, if you watch his IPL Qualifier games he doesn't play ZvT like that. But who knows^^

Stay beastly Stephano! Sucks that you didn't play in GSS#2. Watching your stream is always a dose of refreshing Zerg pwnage x)~

Ah yea, I meant that, guess I should have been clearer. Hope it's nothing to read too much into considering the recent events..

Stephano, you need to tell us your secret!
64-2 is... SCARY! Owning the koreans like diamond players in IPL is EVEN MORE SCARY! o_O
Is it the pink power that's running through your veins? What is it? I need to know!
Stay awesome!

make me a fan of stephano hehe
|
I love zerglings so I am a fan
|
Sign me up, glad to see an european Z being so damn good.
|
Hahahaha!! Just saw his game vs Kas in FXOpen KotH xD Kas godt owned with upgraded lings from 4 bases with gosu ling micro and kas writes "what a joke" xD STEAM ROLLED! Love this guy!
|
Stephano is out of this world. This guy made other pros look like idiots in FXOpenn KotH. Only 18 year old but insane skill level! sign me up!
|
|
Nice record you made there Stephano but I'm asking you... can we get the replays? I tried mass ling to defeat terran but I seem to be too stupid to press the Z button. I really really need my muta harass and blings xD I'm so bad!
|
His ling only style is amazing to watch.
GOGOGO Stephano!
|
This game was just so WTF ! i was shocked when he engaged rlfstomped him like a boss O_o.
|
Stephano's too beastly. Watch out NesTea, someone's coming for your crown as top Zerg.
|
I love stephano I think hes a fantastic player, but I need to rant for a second. WTF WAS THAT SERIES VS RYUNG?!?!? RYUNG, one of the best players in the world and Stephano has a good lead on him into the late game on 3 out of four games! And out of those three Stephano only wins 1! ONE fucking game, no imbalance, stephano is crushing him economically but then decides to practically commit suicide multiple times! And that last game? JESUS CHRIST! Stephanos battle control and macro are AMAZING! But that game was so full of terrible decisions that I am actually upset after watching a game.
I am sorry, I think stephano is a great player and it hurts me to see him do so bad. Usually I think he surpasses dimaga for best zerg in europe. But that series... damn it all.
