Let's not crown anyone prematurely. Dont worry the only one I fear from the open bracket its Alive. And I welcome any protoss players with open arms | ||

He uses larva in rhythm--one full round of 15 drones, then a round of 4 or 5 overlords etc. When people do one overlord at a time they cut it way too close and get supply blocked etc. when a single overlord dies. Stephano has it so that he delays the cost of supply to the very end to maximize his economy at that given time... Commentators don't even notice it; they think that somehow a person who beats koreans like its nothing has a mistake as dumb as severe supply blocks ALL THE TIME. He does it on his stream, he does it in tournaments, it seems to work pretty well. Just one of the many casual flashes of genius by the best foreigner to play the game It actually hadn't occurred to me about the supply blocks, although that of course makes perfect sense. If you build hte drones first and then build 5 or 6 overlords and importantly have very low or no larvae available it is undoubtedly better (assuming your opponent isn't attacking you at that instant) to get supply blocked. Stephano generally gets "supply blocked" at 46 against P for just the reason you suggest undoubtedly. Nevertheless I don't think all of his supply blocks are on purpose but surely you're right that probably quite a few are. | ||

2 Protoss is good, although they both are very strong players. Edit : Apparently I got it wrong, someone on the main Thread is saying this : On June 10 2012 06:04 Fionn wrote: Looks like: Group D: Thorzain, Golden Group C: Rain, JYP Group B: Oz, Sase Group A: Alive, Puma Still damn good for Stephano, might even be better. | ||

Rain is a good player but he is strugling in TvZ and Stephano should win it quite easily. For JYP, it's a closer call because PvZ is his strongest matchup, but Stephano's still the favorite considering the state of his ZvP (+ I remember watching a practice session between them about a month ago where Stephano 4-0'd JYP). | ||

He also 2-0 JYP at IPL 4 | ||
