Nice read tree.hugger. Spot on analysis of Stephano ZvP.

The Bisu Flash Jaedong of SC2 is more like MC, MVP, and NesTea. (although NesTea has been sort of falling off a bit it seems).

Being 'gun-shy' would describe Nightend perfectly Didn't watch the Oz vs Stephano series though, so I can't really comment much, other than a nice read indeed.Can't say I like Oz because his PvP is lackluster since it requires skill to succeed at it.

Stephano was out of shape at the MLG arena. You could say well he just won NASL he must had been in shape right? No Stephano won because even if his mechanics was sloppy at the time he still knew exactly what Hero,MC, Alicia brought to the table. Oz brought something new that Stephano at the time didn't had the correct responds for because of his current form that was quite horrible. Even Stephano said so himself he played incredible bad

Stephano is just coming back from a boot camp in Korea. He looked amazing on stream. His mechanics are back and he just seems faster and better. If he meet Oz its going to be a slaughter. Oz don't got a chance vs Stephano. 2-0 easy peasy. The problem for Stephano is not Oz the problem is Violet its a match as a fan that's really scares me
Stephano & Jaedong <-- The Pain Train. Polt and Innovation to EG plz

Counting out Oz in PvZ sure makes you look clueless and without much knowledge about players strengths or weaknesses.

You do know that Oz basically kills viOlet and Leenock all the time they play? (among other known Zergs)

the bisu - mc comparison is the only thing accurate about that statement lololol.

A great read! Deep insight that both hype the upcoming tournament and inspire us to play (us protosses at least ^^).

I agree with what some people say, that some more of these articles would be great before bigger tournaments. But at the same time, it's not always that you can find this kind of rivalry/occurrences/name it. I really dont like when it's obvious that a writer has looked everywhere to find something inspiring to write about, just to end up with the usual (example: ) Nestea vs Naniwa hype.

But thats one of the main things that makes a writer good huh? How often he finds something truly inspiring to write about?
So I say: Keep these coming, as long as they are as genuine as this article felt for me!

Kudos tree.hugger!
he he... ja

Oz just lost to Targa and adelscott in IEM. Trust me when he face Stephano this time its going to be a beatdown.

Doesnt mean as much as one might think.

I see Oz doing great things when the level is very high, on the other side his inconsistency makes him getting kind of lazy when playing a row of games vs unknown (for him) foreigners. I guess he is the type of player who prefers preparation.
