Thanks for the answer, I hope Stephano was already going full lings at that time :D

so many off my favorite players, and some good casters aswell <3. cheering for TLO, even though it will be hard.
|
Nice, i love Apollo ans TB !!
|
fun cam. TB is a bit out of focus. Is it the lens? ^^
|
wow Dimaga greedy not going baneling before muta and even forgot zergling speed?
|
|
|
Hopefully Dimagas computer wont die like yesterday. GL all but especially TLO <2
|
Such a shame the games are from sometime ago Really makes the tourney less intresting, imo.

Sweet matches so far. Great drawing btw too  + Show Spoiler +TLO ToD should be really fun to watch
|
Wow. ToD really manhandled Strelok this game, he delayed mining for soooooo long with this 5 gate pressure, while losing only a few zealots, and macroed/teched up while forcing Strelok on 2 bases. That was so nice to see ! AND in 1.3 !
|
|
Yea, huge suprice. Tod played well constant pressure and never allowed strelok to feel comfortable
|
|
|
Well, ToD also won 2-0 against Boxer a while ago.

No Stephano, you're supposed to go pure lings, infestors is cheating!

Was just about to ask if it was 1.4 then TB said that it was 1.3 at the exact moment, he can read minds!11 :<
I better equip my tinfoil hat.

Kas getting Destroyed like it was nothing.
|
stephano with a nice first game.
|
God stephano is terrifying. Finals are 1.4 but yeah Seronei the games up till then are 1.3. That game made me feel bad for Kas
|
Crushed those early attack with just the right amount of zerglings, Crush 1st attack, make 13 drones, take 3rd, make macro hatch. Crush 2nd attack on 3rd, make 9 drones, take 4th and 5th lol.
Such a clean play, and that creep spread, yummy ! Stephano's play is so nice to look at I'm proud !

All games will be cast today right?

Foreigner TvP is so much more enjoyable to watch, feels very balanced and back-and-forth.
|
What a great game to watch.

lucky win for Socke - I am happy about it though

Socke is like the essence of German efficiency
|
Is there somewhere a grid?

great game by socke, concidering he was so far behind

Hmm.. Sjow VERY all-in ish with those last 2 games.
It's annoying to watch because it feels like Sjow can't play him in a straight up game.
Well played Socke.

Stephano is playing so great. I really think he's the one who will win everything.

Sick engagement.
TLO going for a 200/200 mech + bunker contain TOD smashes it with tons of hallu immortals
|
Wow,Tod is playing amasing
|
Interesting strategy from TLO but tanks are just fucking horrible against toss in the lategame. Unless you have like 20 of them guarding a choke, you lose.
|
That was pretty nicely done by ToD
|
ToD that was amazing, such a cool break.
|
TLO seems to have some difficulties against toss...
|
Lol bad strategy by TLO. gotta spread ur tanks or toss can pick them all at once.

Not to mention TLO clumped all his tanks at the bottom, and Tod attacked his top defended by a single tank, negating all that fire power. Interesting idea but he stretched himself too thin covering that huge middle.

next game in 25 minutes or what?

Go Stephano! I'm so going to try and steal his builds; he wreaks havoc with them. :x

Am i the only one who finds stephano playstyle gimmicky? Don't get me wrong, he has great mechanics and micro but i feel like hes doing so well right now cause his opponents still don't really know how to counter his playstyle. Hes like destiny, only with better mechanics.

Lol i meant hes similar to destiny in the sense that he uses this unorthodox style that no one really knows how to counter. It will work pretty well until he gets severely metagamed. I'm not talking about infestors only, but rather his mass ling style and all that. Don't have to be so rash to judge dude.

Maybe he has to change his style with the new patch, but he is definitely able to do so.

Steph does that simply because he can though.
He had (arguably) the best muta/ling/bling on EU months ago back when infestor play was less common, and he's always been adept at roach based ZvP too.
Fucking batshit insane strategy from Socke xD

And now stephano had about the same resources. Nothing special, and even pros screw up macro from time to time pretty bad in high pressure situtations.......

Why did Socke go for Stephano's natural ._.
|
he keeps borrowing roaches... but who from?
|
La grande nation prevails.
What a stupid attack from Socke after he killed the third But Stephano is so good right now, no shame in losing to him.
|
I get the feeling that Steph' is more of a loose cannon and Socke is the stable/standard one. Maverick always win at the end, I've seen it on film.
|
Perhaps but socke made a poor push after getting a lead despite denying stephano's 3rd, has high templars but dosen't engage the infestors right at all. Stephano is a better play than socke and i feel if he just plays straight up, he will stomp socke even more man.

I wonder why people even try to fight against Stephano - just forfeit and preserve your dignity :D

That was a pretty interesting game, but I think it was pretty clear who was the better player
Hope for an awesome final

Oh my god, an all French final in a sc2 event : no way, that can't be true.

And you all gather that from one Map, yeah? Well, I guess we can also say that Hasu is way better than Stephano. I mean, just look at the game those two played on Xel´Naga earlier this week. Hasu completely outmicroed Steph there, kiling over 25 roaches with 12 Blink Stalker. At the end of the game Hasu destroyed more than double the resources than Steph.
People should really not jump the gun so often and never judge players skill by a single bo3. Stephano was definetly better that day (although Socke lost the second game more than Steph won it), but that doesn´t mean, that he is the better player in general. Both are top players in Europe and when two player of that calibre clash, the daily form decides. I have seen Socke playing way better than that, like when he completely stomped Dimaga in the ground at the last Shoutcraft Inv, which also doesn´t mean that Socke is way better than Dimaga. He was just better that day.

That was one of the best holds i have ever seen! And the DT counter - amazing!

On September 26 2011 02:38 Malinor wrote: I so would have GGed... how the hell did Socke survive that attack.
it was a good hold but honestly it was more that TLO fked it... not attacking the nexus/probes when he had the chance, allowing Socke to slowly weaken the entire army through damage/stim, not building any marines...

Socke started to pick away those weak marauders very cost efficiently since TLO kept pushing and did no real damage.

Bulgaria2443 Posts
Come on, Socke, finish him quickly, i want to watch Stephano
|
Does anyone know if there will be vods?
|
Thanks for the answers, but I actually saw how he held that... I guess I shouldn't ask rhetorical questions It was more like an "I can't believe he survived" than "How did he survive?". At one point, there were just so many Marauders, and so many Immortals died. After charge finished, using Stim until there is no tomorrow just doesn't work anymore, and TLO overplayed his hand.

whata good little tourney!!! thank U!

I still don't understand how TLO lost that. Bad army engagement i suppose, losing all your vikings to stalkers while getting chased by zealots. If he kept his vikings away and snipe those colossus, he could have done well. Also noticed he put down 2 CCs before he just died, he certainly wasn't having enough production facilities for 4 bases lol.
|
Even thought TLO lost I still see improvement in his play give him a few months more, then I think he can get back in the shape he use to was before his injury and his race switching.
|
u just need marines to kill the zealots cuz al he does now is kiting and not even kililng the zealots cuz marauders are to bad against them
|
They said the finals have been played yesterday, wasn't stephano ill yesterday ?
|
|
|
started now
|
Stream died right when ToD cannon rushed him, did stephano defended just with drones?
|

Yes, he broke 1 pylon, then mineral walked and surrounded the cannon. The lings had just hatched and ToD cancelled everything else.
|
well that was one-sided -.-
|
Stephano is going to go 3-0 here.

Omg mineral trick and then go behind the pylon that was insane
|
I love these two commentating.
|
Stephano one of the few zergs who knows how to abuse tricks and timings instead of whining about protoss ball after 25 minutes...
|
ToD should probably have blocked with a gateway instead of pylon.
|
according to mystarcraft.de, Shakuras Plateau is Stephanos best map. In every matchup. XD

He often does a baneling bust on this map, i hope to see it here again

Can someone explain to me the playstyle of Stephano. I keep hearing it is very unique but I don't see much of a difference between many other zergs :/
I've only seen him play today however, and play toss :D

Yep, he exploits weakness. Most Zergs just macro up and wait...

He's fund of Ultras, and quickly techs to get them, he's been doing that for weeks, not just after the patch.
And there's also his special ZvT tactic : pure lings, he destroyed kas with it yesterday.

hmm bad unit combo vs deathball :/ we'll see how it ends

Wow Stephano is the only Zerg in the World that makes crappy unit compositions like Roach Hydra Corruptor work!
|
I don't understand ToD's unit composition, you have 3 bases and don't make 6+ colo? =/
|
Lol, Stephano even wins Roach/Hydra/Corrupter vs Deathball. When you are on a roll, everything just falls into place. Not the best engagement by Tod to say the least.

He does what works in that particular game. I like it.
In ZvT I've seen him play nothing but lings a lot of the time.

stephano won both times because tod fucked up. a decent toss would have pulled this out 2-0 np

ye, tod teched much too late and relied on gateway units for too long... any coloss heavy comp with BETTER UPGRADES wouldve finished stephano ez, although he obv. did the best of the situation possible.

Normally toss wins that so easily because of forcefields. Tod spent all his energy on hallucinations which didn't even help much cause stephano had an overseer. He cld have won that battle without losing much but he threw it away.

Some tension between Stephano and ToD :D

if you're on 3 base, make 2-3 robos. it's not like you can't afford it and use FFs to delay any aggression.

You pretty clueless arnt you. Every player in the world do mistakes you just cant do it vs Stephano he just wait for a weakness and he got you.
And btw Tod is a really good player beating Strelok 2-0 but it really doesn't matter any more Stephano is way to good for Europe I hope he goes to Korea soon

People already forgettin that Stephanos early lingattack delayed Tod ? Gotta see how the game came to that endstage...

It wasnt incredibly bad. he killed 4 probes and stephano was still down 5 workers compared with tod.

Why on Earth would ToD pick this map?
I've only seen a single toss win a game on this map, and that was a sick nasty base trade vs leenock.
Duel sight is not a friend of the protoss.....

Its about the delayed tech, third base and robo, not the ecodamage. Thats why he didnt have 8 collossus what people are asking for.

the results are in the top centre of the screen

The moment the big engagement happens, Stephano throws down a hatch each at both golds. That's such a smart move, considering that ToD will be concerned with other problems for the next 1-2 minutes (fighting into remaxing into possibly expanding). Some great decisionmaking by Stephano.
edit: Not that it did matter tho.

Good old deathball vs roachs hydras corruptors.

It's not ToDs fault, stephano should have gged by now, this is totally unwinnable, 6 base to 2.

I think Stephano nevers ggs or rarely, he either says congratz or wp xD
And there is some tension between these 2 so maybe he does'nt want to say it.

Trying to win vs max toss with roach/hydra/corruptor is kinda hard. At least make infestors or an ultra to break FF.

Can't blame Tod for being cautious. Stephano should've tapped out earlier anyway.
Nice hallucination play by Tod though.

Indeed he basically never uses gg. He always says wp or congratz instead.
He once said on his stream he uses gg when he feels it was a really, really good game. Its kinda reserved for that case, has nothing to do with manners.

The propaganda machine from Team aaa strikes again?
I'm happy to see ToD and Stephano playing well. It was a solid match from ToD, he dominated Stephano with good army management and a smart strategy (negating bases). He's a super nice guy, and he has a huge potential.
Stephano is a beast.

Sorry, i wasn't clear, i was talking about those rumors of ToD and Stephano not liking each other. I'm under the impression Team aaa is the source for most of the rumors and hate of the french scene.

Well, there are tensions, saying the opposite is pure wrong :O
ToD doesn't bear Stephano in his heart that's not new...
|
From TB, seeing 8 gates from ToD: '...also known as the infamous double fourgate'. Certainly made me chuckle! Good series so far, though ToD took so long to close out that last game!

Solid defense from Stephano. Game is over, but i like how ToD solidifies his forward pylon with cannons. He used that with great effect against Idra in the last clan war.

I haven't seen Stephano suicide any overlord ever, and yet he reads most situations very well.

Put this in the other thread but I'll put it here as well for good measure.
Hey, just wanted to say thank everyone for watching. The tournament was a success and something that we definitely will do again and it should hopefully grow in the future as well maybe even offline
Some details from the stream; during the day we had 143,633 unique viewers in total with a peak of 10254 which is a lot better than projected so everyone including the sponsors of the tournament are happy.
If you are interested here (http://www.team-dignitas.net/galleries/65/SCAN-Invitational-behind-the-scenes) is a gallery of the event from back stage, ODEE, Iain, r2k, Zaccubus and Lumpy all helped out making sure everything ran smoothly.
And as a final not I'd just like to point out that we are collecting payment details and will pay out the prize money immediately
