They'll just invite him for July then...... its going to happen, everyone wants it and everyone will benefit.

Because he says it is and, yes, because he lost four ZvZ games in a row on ladder.

Where did he say that ZvZ is his worst? And losing a couple of games on ladder is utterly meaningless, especially when some of them were against Nerchio.

He said it in stream chat, and while Nerchio has one of the best ZvZ in EU, Stephano hasn't been this bad vs. him in a while.

He said in stream chat that ZvZ really is his worst match up, because he just can't figure it out (as opposed to ZvT and ZvP)
And 4/5 days ago, against DIMAGA, during a game stephano won, DIMAGA said at the end : "I still don't understand how the hell this match up works", stephano replied something along the lines of "I have absolutely no idea either".
Anyway, about the games against Nerchio, there is no shame to lose against this guy as he is pretty much the best ZvZ'er in Europe. (In Iron Squid, Nerchio 2-0ed Leenock. Nestea also 2-0ed Leenock but only 2-1ed Nerchio).
Finally, about the Stephano BM against the protoss player (I think it is Pomi). Stephano is pissed that all protoss players go for the same build against Stephano, without even scouting or making one observer. Stephano could just go muta and destroy everything. That's why Stephano got pretty mad, even after winning 3 games against the same guy.

0-2 against Nerchio today on ladder, 2 games of 25 minutes, something like 7-0 for Nerchio in the past 3 or 4 days.

hey he plays in the taketv invitational today.

He might play Nericho in the 3rd round. Hopefully he figured out the matchup, lol

Seems like Stephano about to win another tournament. Sometimes I really feel sorry for the protoss race hehe
|
So boring to see him against EU Protoss (against European i guess), and the next round against Socke and it could be another in final. Even as a Stephano fan, it's becoming less and less entertaining, to see him in European tournament.

What? You can never be bored watching Protoss players die:D
|
Socke is a tougher opponent than Monchi, but PvZ itself is getting stale because people aren't trying new strategies. Stephano's TvZ is very entertaining, however - I hope he faces a Terran in the finals.

The third game vs Hero was very, very strange. Too bad he didn't manage to take advantage of Hero's late wg.  On the other hand, very good performance at Take's Inv. Hope to see some more wins today!
|
He played the match against Hero 2 days after coming back from holiday, he was certainly out of shape, maybe not, but we can't conclude anything from this match. He lost but that's not a big deal.
