Later on in the game Stareagle took one of grubbys bases and had all but won. Then he walked into the storms. I'm honestly not sure who took the most damage, Stareagle or Stareagle's keyboard, I AM sure that stareagle was not happy at all about it though. Other favourite moments was walking back to your chair to watch stephano vs lowely, only to find that mouz.mana had taken my spot ![](/mirror/smilies/puh2.gif) I remember watching that game, and thinking no way grubby could win. Then stareagle stimmed into 3 consecutive storms losing almost all of his army, but he was still up a base so I didn't think Grubby would win. Then he pulled all of his SCVs to attack, got them all stormed then retreated. I think that is the only way to ever lose when up by so much.

So there's no one in Europe who can challenge Stephano? Very disappointing.
|
rofl that italian vod stoRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRmmmu recommended!
|
Thank you Vasa (and Orion ofc!) for the fantastic italian casting ![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif) One of the best SC2 events so far imho.
|
Lucifron definitely kept Stephano on his toes. How Stephano won that game after losing 100+ drones I will never know. It was 20 minutes of non-stop drone frying by Lucifron's hellions and somehow Stephano still pulled it out.
|
wow dat grubby/stareagle engagment was something else lmao
|
Stephano is beastly. Nice to see those brothers performing well, so many good matches...
|
Stephano vs Lucifron game 3 was awesome as well. I would watch the whole series.
|
Tried watching the VODs but for some reason I get more buffering then actual playing of the VOD. It's playing for 2-5 seconds then buffering for ~5 seconds over and over again. When I was watching live yesterday I occasionally had a couple of buffering moments (always during engages, typical) but not as badly as these VODs are doing at the moment.
I have no idea what is causing this problem my connection itself should be fine and more then capable of streaming these kind of VODs (fiber optic).

In "Best Games" there is the first game of grand final Stephano/Vortix, I don't know if it's the best ZvZ I ever seen but it's definetly the best move and the best multitasking ever, even outside of a ZvZ.

That commentator was amazing hehe
Do you speak Italian? Because I do and man was that guy annoying. It just can't get more biased than that. He was actually using "we" to speak about stareagle during the entire game (stuff like "we need to attack now", "great, we got his forges!!", "we're going to win this game, come on !!"), never once analyzed the situation from Grubby's point of view, and was basically screaming his lungs out in favor of stareagle the entire time (adding occasional "go Italy!" shouts from time to time). I have to say that I did enjoy the desperation in his voice and comments after those storms by Grubby :-D

Great writeup Waxangel!
That Grubby vs Nerchio game 2.............wow.....it was akin to watching HerO play. This game takes #1 game of the tournament for me, followed by Stephano vs Lucifron.

yah but it's WCS, and national language stream, I only think the "main" stream has an obligation to maintain certain level of neutrality. Korean casters are always biased as fuck when they cast WCG, and I think they prolly will be for WCS.

That just make it even more cool. If we can start getting the southern European nationalism more involved in Starcaft it will only make the competitive scene bigger and better.

"Stephano proved he is the undisputed champion of Europe, dropping only a single set on his way to winning the WCS European Final."
Not like he could drop two sets and win the tournament, ya'know? (French qualifiers do not count )

Game 2 of grubby vs nerchio was insane, i loved it
