I hope next games will be better, they seemed to play below their standards because of the game's mean.

when you let zerg get 12 infestors and 20 broodlors with 3-3 air upgrades and 3 melee than yea

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.

Mana had no gas. He should have expoed earlier.


True, needed to take another base. I swear he had enough windows to do so as well, just kind of sat there for ages. I'd like to see more early harass from Mana too, Stephano is just too strong if he's allowed to get 4 bases super fast like that.

I was hoping for a Mothership too, either for kiwikaki recall squads or just for the simple advantage of vortex (as shown in kiwi vs stephano against the same strat stephano was using)

I dont think Stephano has good unit control/micro skills....

He pretty much always goes "1a" with his army, and therefore wins by macroing his opp out.

Or am I wrong?

Protoss death ball is a myth.

The extreme late game deathball is a myth in that you can't use a deathball which is powerful in the mid to early late game to roll over the extreme late game zerg units. Stephano had largely 3-3 upgrades on everything and too many BLords and infestors. I think Mana could've utilized his "deathball" earlier in the game though.

Mana is kind of expected to lose, unfortunately. Manas PvZ is better than it was, but it is still worse than Sase, Naniwa, White-ra or elfi,and probably Sockes.

His pvz is better than Elfi's, Ra's & Socke's.
He plays a very turtlish style which is good but he always switches into air very late versus broodlords.

Definitely not better than recent White-ra's PvZ. Mana's turtlish style might work against some zergs, but it ends up as this game against Stephano vs extremely good zergs. He harasses too little and his late game expanding is just plain non-existent.

What do you think about a change to broodlords so that you can "mineralwalk" over broodlings?
I think the main reason why broodlords are so strong in bigger numbers is that all ground units get stuck and can't attack ( especially archons with 3 range).
Fungals could still root some of the army, but if your fast enough with your feedbacks, you would have atleast a small chance

Great game one!

Pity it was streamed on own3d.tv, which is actually the most horrible viewing experience I've had with streams - with constant freezes and dropouts.

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

Stephano had the bigger army. When they showed the army value stephano was clearly ahead. So it's only normal he wins the fight.

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.


lol, well those 2 masters player took out MC and Marineking 2-0 thats some really strong master players..



Way to completely miss what I was saying. I'm not saying Mana and Stephano are bad - Mana has an amazing PvT, his PvP vs MC was world-class, and Stephano swept aside IPL and looked undefeatable.

But in this game, neither of them played that well. It looked like a very standard macro game between 2 pretty good players. Not really finals-worthy IMO.

Also, I hate own3D too. It's just so astoundingly shit.

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 :/

If you have so many Corruptor that you can oneshot a Mothership you are going to lose

And Vortex has 9 range.
