as said earlier, his rage is internal, it's more of being fed up by noobs cheesing when he wants to train his macro than raging because he loses | ||

MC, who became famous for his two-base timings and is a master of screwing with Zerg timings? He's not going to be anonymous in tournaments. Stephano's style is understood by every pro Protoss in the scene. They're going to screw with him the same way his ladder opponents are starting to do. | ||

Three hatch roach is a great build, but it's not the only build that works. Dimaga's ling baneling style. Ret's fast brood lord style. They all work and have their pros and cons. He's using mutas now, which I think is a great step. | ||

What I'm not as happy is that I can't watch his stream, or Day9's euro week, cause of my school's fucking internet blocks. Also, while the Red Bull tournament is damn cool, I think its terrible for the scene that its an invitational, for such a huge prize pool. I hope at some point we move on from that format, and Red Bull could cut a small bit off of the prize pool or something to run some online regional qualies. | ||

You have Idra complimenting him, InControl calling him 'the perfect Zerg', Anna making him a stuffed Baneling toy, JYP and Stephano having some weird 'BigHead' banter on Twitter, SirScoots having a meal with Stephano at IPL4 and now Huk and Stephano hanging out and goofing around in Vegas. Makes me wonder if they are putting on a charm-offensive and attempting to recruit him? While I would have a meal with Stephano if the situation arose, I did not have one with him at IPL4, so not sure where you are getting your information. | ||

If he wants to ever beat MC, he needs to learn how to safely get to really fast Hive tech, bypassing mass Roaches or Mutas. MC is so solid against either of those, but lost to Violet and DRG when they switched up styles. Of course, that might not be enough. Chances are, by the time of MLG Arena, MC hadn't practiced PvZ in a while, seeing as there are exactly 0 Zergs left in GSL Code S... | ||

The 3 pylon block down the ramp between the main and the natural in ZvP The 2 bunker block down the ramp in ZvT. Those 2 strats can't be done in tournaments cause every tournaments maps have a neutral supply depot down the ramp. The thing is that there is no point practicing against those strats since they simply can't be done in tournaments. And in the last 2 days, Stephano faced this like 5 times (and lost nearly all those times), that's why he was pretty pissed to waste practice time with this bullshit. | ||
