Stephano remaxes so ridiculously fast, Mana waited far too long there and let him get half the map. I reckon an earlier air switch might have been helpful too.

how is naniwa's pvz any good?

Atrocious :p


He also won against sen the first series. He's much better than a few months ago.


Yeah I know, he impressed me at blizzcon.

Nah, you need to kill them before they even get to this phase in the game. Zerg wins like 90% if they get roach/infestor/corruptor/broods with a big bank. Even a harass style eventually gets a-moved over


Hahah yeah, I mean if zerg gets that composition a direct confrontation will fail in most cases. Ideal scenario would be killing them before that.

That game just wasn't that good from either of them. Sure, it wasn't BAD, but it wasn't particularly entertaining. Neither player looked exceptional, and neither did anything innovative. tbh if it wasn't the finals, I could have mistook it for a game from 2 EU Masters League players.

Mana had no gas. He should have expoed earlier.

Mothership + Archons.

No need to thank me.

A mothership is so powerful in that stage, yet no one except Kiwikaki gets one. It's painful to watch.

It wasn't a bad game, just not very action packed. None of the engagements were especially tense either, before the final one, because neither player extended very far into his opponent's territory. But it was definitely high caliber play.

It's funny that most people consider Protoss a late game death ball race. Truth is, both Terran and especially Zerg beat Protoss in 200/200 engagements.

Protoss death ball is a myth.

Protoss needs to use the mobility of their units to win late game.

Yeah and on Shakura's that's possible right?

I think the ZvT this weekend show cased how the race with inferior siege units fare on that map.

Kiwikaki vs stephano's game 2 in the last MLG was in a similar situation, but Kiwikaki's late game mothership play managed to win it for him.

Infestors > Void Ray, Mothership
Corruptors > Pheonix, Carrier, Mothership
Brood Lords > Everything Else

And that's why you can never beat an army like that, especially in the hands of Stephano.

The only way it's even remotely possible is Archon Toilet, but an Infestor can just neural the mothership, or the corruptors can just one shot it :/
