Hope he can cope with that loss he has just not so much practice with a terra like mma (mma >> polt in tvz). Or it could backfire and make him even more lazy because he wouldn't have to win that many tournaments to get money. Actually, he practices atleast 5-6 hours a day, i don't know why do they always say that he doesn't practice at all. | ||

You don't - he is too greedy for you to enter late game vs. him without doing damage early game. Do damage, and there's a lot you are able to do vs. his drop heavy style - get a handful of mutalisks, corrupters, spines & spores, etc. It's not his style that's killing people, it's his unpunished greed. Terran has straight-up better unit efficiency than Zerg. This means Zerg has to mine higher resources to beat Terran. When Terran mines the same resources, well, that's unwinnable right there. | ||

He already commited to lings and roaches but he backed out and droned behind it meaning weak hive transition, you just cant make middle calls like that vs the best tvzer. | ||

I think this tournament showed Stephano is S-Class level player beating Curious, Bomber and JYP and taking games from MKP and Nestea before going down to MMA. Not good enough to beat MMA today but overall an extremely impressive showing. Another $4000 into the winnings pot for Stephano. Hopefully this will enough to encourage him to continue into next year. As stated before hopefully Stephano can get some more Terrans to give him good practice partners and improve against Terran. Beating Polt, Bomber and Puma recently shows he is damned good at ZvT currently, even without dedicated anti-Terran preparation. Don't forget Stephano is starting his NASL 3 run in a few days! He is in Group A along with Puma, Hwangsin, Cloud, TT1, Brat_OK, Zenio, Haypro, and NightEnd. Good luck to him. | ||

When he was in highschool he stated low amounts of training - and this reputation stuck to him :D | ||

Btw, here are Stephano opponents for NASL season 3 : Division 1 . PuMa - . HwangSin - . ClouD - . TT1 - . Brat_OK - . Zenio - . HayprO - . NightEnD - . Stephano - Stephano needs to be top5 to get to the next step, or top2 to directly go to the championship sunday (that will happens sometimes in July). Should be doable EZ PZ. PuMa would be the hardest opponent but Stephano 3-0ed him recently at Assembly so.. | ||

None of those opponents are very hard for him. Puma, Cloud, and Brat_Ok are capable of upsets, while Zenio and Haypro aren't half-bad at ZvZ. But he's the favorite against all of them. Taking Top 2 in his group gives him a very good shot at the NASL finals, which is good money. I want to see him do it one last time before he retires - win a big tournament, and with NASL being filled with foreigners it's doable - provided he focuses and doesn't forfeit games. | ||

(He said to ask Bling if his interviewer didn't believe him about his practice schedule.) Checking his history leading up to IPL he was practicing on average probably around 2 hours a day; there were a few days where he didn't play at all. His results given his practice schedule are completely amazing IMO. | ||

Furthermore Stephano has already shown that ladder games are good training after all, recently even some koreans (for example taeja) have stated that their training is mostly ladder + It always turnes out rather poorly when zergs study their opponents and prepare sniping tactics since the terra could just unexpectedly slightly change his bo and it doesn't work anymore... Imo Stephano forgot the baneling nest in game 1 vs mma, it looked like his typical roach-bling all in against terran(also executed against mkp in game 1 and three, both times rather succesful) just with banelings which are definitely required to bust the front door and destroy the bunkers, he was pretty far behind from that point(44 to 46 workers favouring mma + mules for him) sadly casters didn't really point that out so all the clueless people will never accept it and say that stephano got outclassed in the lategame by mma in fact he got far behind in the midgame in both of the games | ||
