I think WCS is over for me. I only watch SC2 because of him and GSL ^.^

Anyone knows what tournament he's playing next?

Stephano invested too much in his "all in" on Daybreak and Antiga. He built way too many roachs and zerglings, did not take a 4th. HerO had great force fields. And the final 2 hallucinated colossis ended the job when stephano built 10 corrupters to counter those 2 fake units.

I hope he thinks long and hard about his mistake and come back in the following tournaments

Don't give your matchs to Idra next time (just to avoid Rain) !

Well this isn't my analyze. He wasn't all-in at all and was even in a really good position when he was containing hero and delaying the 3rd. But instead of capitalizing on his advantage he did absolutely nothing, no 4th base, no hive, just sitting with roaches and infestors.
In the end, Hero tries a cute trick (relatively well known today, this isn't the first time I see it) and Stephano overreacts and falls. Actually when Stephano made those 9 corruptors I was thinking, well If he had Hive it may even be a good thing, because he had Spines, and infestors to buy time for his broods. But no, no hive at all.

Not win the all thing, is ok. But here, it is very disapointing :'(. Well, don't forget that lesson. If you enjoy your job do it well. It means PRACTICE DAT ZVZ. Lets wait for DH now!

That was painful to watch, seeing those 9 corrupters in the tab production.. Well that was the most important tournament for Stephano but he still has DH, IPL, maybe NASL, Ironsquid, blizzard cup ? and probably Homestory CUP before the end of the year.

Just don't lose motivation Stephano because of this result, you will win another big tournament.

Well that's bad news to wake up to, but I kinda expected that. You can't win shit every weekend, that's just not possible.

Damn how can idra beat Roro, wtf is that, I gotta watch VODs for sure.

I'm not sure what would be more disappointing -- if Stephano achieved these results and he prepared, or he achieved these results and didn't prepare. I'm pretty sure he didn't prepare but haven't been checking his profiles recently.

Despite his results and losing to Idra, he's had a fantastic 2012 and so many more tournaments are coming up. I still feel sad though because it looked all but certain he was going to be the best Zerg in the world and now this doesn't appear to be the case: He just doesn't have the work ethic to make that happen. But he's still a success and entertaining to watch.
