I'm not even convinced DRG is better man. I think especially if Stephano starts training hard he will certainly be better than DRG if he isn't already

Stephano might be more talented but there is no doubt DRG is bettr than Stephano now. DRG is just more complete in every match-ups. He is the best ZvT and his ZvP is as good as Stephano's one. DRG is the best player on the planet i think.

No, he was not saving minerals. He ended up with ~170/200 supply after the 'remax.' You know he wanted 200/200 during that remax, but wasn't able to hit it because he was larvae starved, which happened because he didn't make an extra hatchery when his resource income started spiking up.

Fanboyism is not seeing that he made a mistake and supporting him whatever he does. There is a lot of room for improvement in his mechanics, but he wins because he has better engagements and decision making than other Zergs, including the bulk of Korean ones. With better mechanics, he is able to take that further and reach a level no other Zerg has reached before.

You realise that if he had that many hatcheries and larva he could only support 1 reinforcement? Once those resources are drained having that many hatcheries would prove to be inefficient. You cant support that many hatcheries. The reason he's floating resources is because he maxes and then builds the bank. The amount of hatcheries he has perfectly matches his income. In fact, usually he has TOO MANY larvae (hence, 120 zerglings built at once in a recent game). If his reinforcements die he doesn't want to end with 0 money in the bank and 900+ resources worth of macro hatches.

He will probably postpone his uni for 1 more year, come on... who wouldn't ? $160.000 in 10 months? He would be crazy if he just left with great talent and chance to earn so much.

An extra hatchery is 350 minerals. He was floating 1500+...

@azarkon- say something man 4-0ed alicia, crushes Mc, destroys Hero a who's who upon the top contenders of the starcraft 2 scene. He is still good in his games. We know u have clear eyes to see how was that, hope your not blinded blinded by your own critical opinions.


The high mark of this tournament for Stephano was when he defeated HerO and MC back to back yesterday. Against Alicia, it was dangerous because of Alicia's ability to make great two base attacks, but Alicia ended up succumbing to nerves, playing bad, and being a walkover. HerO and MC are bigger wins by far and shows that his switch to ling heavy over roach heavy is perfect for the present meta-game.

His mechanics are still questionable, however. The third game he was floating 1500 minerals without enough larvae to remax after he lost his army to the colossi push. A better Protoss would have punished him for that, and I don't know why he didn't make a macro hatch with those minerals.


Although I respect your opinion and even more so your courage for posting criticism in Stephanos fanclub, you will always find mistakes when you want to. That's because the players are human (although that's sometimes hard to grasp :p).
Stephano isn't worse than other players or undeserving, just because he too is human.


Of course. I never said that Stephano was undeserving or worse than other players. I said that I saw a decline in his play prior to this tournament, and that this makes me worried about whether he's going into a slump. It's a legitimate worry given what he showed in the last two months. But then what he ended up showing is that he didn't work on ZvZ because he was working on ZvP. I still do think his ZvZ needs a lot of work, and that he has a lot of room for improvement in his mechanics. Imagine having enough larvae to spend all his resources after losing his army. Nobody is going to beat him then.


Well, in the end it isn't a slump and he's doing fine :-) And while criticism is the most important ingredient to improvement, this only applies if it reaches Stephano. And I don't know whether a fan club is the best place for that.

Aaaand he doesn't have enough economy to support more hatches. What aren't you understanding?

At some point, you should just relax and congratulate Stephano for winning.

Overly critical is overly critical. Winning is better than whining.

How does floating 1500+ minerals = not having enough economy to support the hatches?

Banking larvae is always a positive in the late game. It's the exact same logic for having extra gateways for a Protoss, and extra rax for a Terran. You never want to be in a situation where you have a lot of resources but not enough production to support them. Having extra production is a plus, not a negative, especially when you go lings, which are larvae heavy.

There are Zergs who never float resources until maxed, and who are able to hit higher unit counts at faster timings. I don't see why that's bad. Stephano himself has said that he has a lot to improve in his play - why think otherwise?
