I approve both of these messages.

Can someone tell me what mineral saturation Stephano prefers? I thought 16 Drones is the optimum, he seems to have about 20-22 most of the time. Is this just so he is able to saturate new bases faster?
Would appreciate it if someone can ask him that in the twitch.tv chat - my account is not working...

16 is optimum and unless a new base is coming up for him or he has more than enough drones, he will stick to 16 per base.

I hope the stream gets some more viewers, so that we will have the awesome Stephano commentary!

Not always. Stephano is always extremely good though.

Thus Stephano > sky.

He lost to two different protosses both 4 gating, one with a +1 timing with it, the other with 50gas for the warpgate and then mass zealots.


4gate comes several seconds before the 7 or 8 min roach warren you build for the 12-min 200supply build, so he just instaloss as soon as the 4gate came.

4 gates are easy to hold off when scouted - the question is, is it scoutable? One of the Protoss players was 4 gating and I think Stephano ended up not being able to hold because he didn't know what to do - to beat 4 gates you need spines - but didn't the other Protoss - TeamClash - fake a FE?

it is scoutable pretty easily with an overlod behind the toss's natural to see whether he truly expands or not. The thing is though that 4 gates have become so rare that most zergs don't send their first overlord to that position and instead put it around the opponent's main to either scout later on or see leaving air units as soon as possible because you also want to skip lair as long as possible with most current zerg builds
I have even seen pro zergs that do not even send their first ovis across the whole map because they do not want to lose it to the first stalker(on some maps this is possible if you have bad luck and aren't very careful)
If 4gates become an often seen strategy again due to the 11 min(yeah, nowadays it's 11 mins:D) max out build zergs will have to rethink their overlord positioning again
With great power comes great responsibility.

i saw one of the losses. He saw the expo wasn't going down and saw three of the four warp gates but didn't build any spines. I think he thought he could just hold with queens and lings but no one could have held that with just lings and queens. He seemed a little over confident perhaps.
To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

I ask to the one with mass Zealot, it was a 5 gates zealot actually.

4-5 gate zealot is a gimmicky build that is countered by roaches and spines. Stephano sounded frustrated today, though, because he was getting all-in'd by these gimmicky builds every game :|
