I really hope they meet again.

Dumbest shit i've ever heard. SaSe places 4th @ MLG after an exhausting run defeating several top zergs including Stephano, Violet, Leenock and so on.
Then he does bad in a online qualifier like the day after or something vs Nerchio who is extremely good online and suddenly SaSe is "ezypeezy".

No disrespect to sase, but like I say before, Stephano loosing to Sase is not what you expect from him.
Sase play great this MLG, maybe better than is overall level of play in other recent event. But I think Stephano's play is a level higher. even if he loose. Like he say in the interview, i doesnt feel bad loosing to MKP, even say he learned from this game, and will remember it forever. and after he say than he make big mistake against Sase and blame himself.
I dont say Sase is an easy win for anyone, but Stephano got the odds in his favor against most non-korean player, and even against a lot of Korean.

Stephano has now beaten 14 koreans in the past month or so (going back to MLG Spring Arena 2)!
Idra and Jaedong have praised him recently. I do believe he just might be + Show Spoiler + at playing SC2!
Spoilers are in case any haters are lurking!

The host of small errors that Stephano have been making this Dreamhack makes me think that his practice regimen is suffering. He said he hasn't played a ZvZ in two weeks - that's ... Bad. His mechanics are starting to fray at the edges, and he's taking worse engagements than he was before.
The first game vs. Puma, which I think people here saw, was a great example - Stephano had the game in the bag during mid game but then made a series of mistakes that ended up with a last push through the middle that he barely won through - he had no bank, no fall back tech, and less than 45 drones. He wasn't injecting late game and had his hive sniped by a drop.
That was sloppy, and people saw it - but what a lot of you guys didn't see was the first game vs. Daisy. He barely won that. It was on Daybreak, his favorite three hatch roach map, and he had a thin hold against Daisy's two base all-in and was then unable to pressure Daisy before the latter pushed out with a 150 food Protoss army before he got infestors. He had to base trade, and only won because Daisy failed to get a probe out of his base - that was smart decision making from Stephano to prevent Daisy from sending out a probe, but the game came down to the wire.
Playing this way, I think Stephano is in trouble vs. SaSe, HerO, and Dimaga. Okay, SaSe I think he's prepared for, but there's still HerO and Dimaga, and Naniwa though he says he hasn't been practicing his PvZ. Those guys don't play around, and Stephano has to bring his best game and not be this sloppy when he faces them.
Stephano needs to make that training trip and soon. His form is starting to deteriorate.

Yea i can see it also but I also thinks its all this damm traveling. From MLG in NY to Redbull in Texas to MLG in Anahaim to Dreamhack in sweden all within a month. Its to much traveling actually and im happy he gets a small break now after this dreamhack

especially g1 vs puma was cool.
|
No it wasn't. It was horrible to watch. He had his queens at 175 energy, didn't defend drops, suicided armies into a PF, didn't get spire tech... if not for a few brilliant engagements and puma not splitting marines, he would have lost badly.

I don't like when Stephano barely holds. G2 was way better, he knew he won since he saw the mech => T3 broods.

To early depends on how he plays tomorow. He was very sloppy today but then again so was he against Polt at MLG maybe its starting jitters!. His biggest opponents is Naniwa,Taeja,Nerchio,Livezerg,Hero,Fraer,Sase Taeja does not seems to be a threat here, tbh ( and I love the guy). Naniwa, Nerchio (in fact, any decent zerg), eventually Sase are the real deal for DH. $ Go stephano!

Well it's still mind-boggling how he can 2-0 Puma while being sloppy.

Stephano only dropped maps against 1 out of 6 opponents so far at DreamHack. He played Daisy, a Korean who showed really strong form earlier this week to win the TSL4 qualifier in Europe. He also played Puma, a Korean who InControl said was training hard in the Slayers House and was currently placing top of their internal league. Both got 2-0'd by Stephano. It shows how high the standards set by Stephano are, that beating his 14th Korean in the past month has people questioning his form! Going 4-0 against those two in-form players should be cause for praise and not angst over a few scary moments.
Good luck to Stephano in Day 2 of DH. Lot's of strong opponents to come.
