Steph has a poor connection when he plays on NA server, sounds like an excuse but it can explain some mistake on the micro, especially in ZvZ.

Still, he barely plays actually since his return in France, I hope this is just a phase where he takes some rest and not his futur practice regiment.

Hm. Normally I'd say this is really no big deal because Hyun is an amazing player but if you think of that he was just 3-0ed last week in a really, really convincing manner by patchzerg sortof I'm not really sure what to make out of this.

On top of that I feel that the just doesn't care about the game anymore and not in positive fassion like staying cool and rational but just gging out of games to end it all. For example in the third game. People like Idra would have left for sure and the game was probably really over but Stephano is the comeback zerg. Think of from which situations he has won in the past.
Maybe he is really fed up with SC2.

please stop using the word patchzerg,

game 1 & 2 aside, game 3 was a build order lose (Stephano's fault tho, I think he should rather do the 10p with a drone scout)
and the game was pretty much over when he did no damage at all. Remember that HyuN was way ahead (5 more drones, speed coming vs still no gas).

While it's true that Stephano makes comeback happen, it's very hard to comeback versus a monster like HyuN (especially because his ZvZ is better than Stephano's)

But he didn't leave in the last game in which he was far, far, far more behind then the Cloud Kingdom game. Last game was actually really bad by Stephano. REally mismicroed. You should not lose vs early pool with a pool gas opening.

And why not say patchzerg? It's true. There was even a thread here on team liquid from an official teamliquid guys. It's true that Sortof/Scarlett etc, are patchzerg. All they can do is abuse the infestor. Stephano funnily enough uses infestors less and less. Not sure why. Against protoss and zerg he goes much more roach hydra now with mixed success.
