It made so much sense when he said that he doesn't practice ZvZ because he hates it. ZvZ really does kinda suck, I'm with him on that. It's too volatile... too dependent on chance, than actual skill. I don't agree that zvz is too dependent on chance. The top zergs in the world have very good win rates in zvz, all over 60% recently, and some over 70%, which suggests it's not random. If it were a true coinflip you would see win rates closer to 50%. ZvZ openings are well known as are the transitions. Most zvzs in tournaments are macro games, where each player is able to tech up to infestors. The game then becomes about larvae, economy and army management. The player who does all of those things better wins. There's lots of skill involved, which is why I'm confident Stephano will start playing better again now that he's practicing regularly (in Korea no less). Stephano's zvz when he was playing regularly on ladder before he broke out was very good - top 10 probably. He stopped practicing regularly and it's gotten worse and worse. Jaedong may be top 5 in zvz and is at least top 10 and Revival is probably top 20, so he definitely has the practice partners necessary to figure the match up out.
Well, let's hope Stephano starts enjoying ZvZ more. The next time he gets interview, one of the foremost questions should be why he disliked ZvZ so much.

HerO is such a beast! And his Elo shows its, too.
Stephano vs Argo - Argo played well.

He was way ahead. Argo went 2 base all-in and didn't do any damage, then Stephano forced that cancel on the 3rd at least once.
Stephano - I love you - but you need to not lose in PL like that. Your proleague record is going to be a huge deal once you leave Korea. You have an opportunity to ignite SC2 in KR, but you need to show your A game and not throw away wins.
4-3 in PL is not nearly as awesome as 5-2.
<3
Just win baby! Make an infestation pit, its not cheating.

I was watching it and thinking, is this Stephano or IdrA?  the stubbornness toward teching beyond roach/hydra just brought back so many disappointing memories!

Stephano is streaming right now! A nice surprise for me :D

lol another korean dude fallen to pure lings... it never gets old

This style was so awesome back at the day, he stoped using it because there was some deadly marine blue flame hellion timing if I remember correctly, but nowaday with current metagames and the Queen buff, I wonder if it's not doable again.

easy decision for me
also i would get epileptic by watching JD too long. stephano's playstyle is much more laid back ^^
€: uhhhh and the music! there is no choice! fantastic music on one said mostly crap on the other (JD has a pretty good taste for a korean but still).

Didn't they just play each other?
