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. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhouu5_live-netgtv-eswc_videogames This is the french casted stream with footage from the main stage, with crowd reactions and shots. Doesn't lag for me. | ||

Or am I wrong? Yeah you're wrong. Stephano has shown expert positioning in the past, for example big flanking maneuvers or burror roach movement. | ||

I feel like khaldor speaks more clearly but I still like RotterdaM's accent more. I may be heavily biased and not know it, I've been a big fan of rotti for a longggg time. | ||

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. What is wrong with a standard macro game? It was standard, but very well executed. Games do not need to contain innovative or flashy stuff to be "finals-worthy". | ||

Protoss death ball is a myth. Protoss needs to use the mobility of their units to win late game. The deathball is supposed to have upgraded VoidRays. Feedback the infestors, storm a bunch, Collosus lasers all the ground stuff, VRs mop up. But I agree that the Zerg ball is almost equally strong. Stephano prepared better for late game (getting all the upgrades) whilst Mana tried to finish it with attacks on the Zerg bases. Mana failed and lost the final battle. | ||

I like them both though. | ||

He just makes sure he gets enough units early on if he needs them. He was maxed at 13min last game. | ||
