Stephano is ridiculous >.<

"Oh u kill lair? U cancel spire? I has 6 bases"

Damn impressive play.

GG to Stephano for being on 6 bases with all that pressure early game.

Too bad that Mana tried to win with 2 bases against 6 bases.

lol stephano makes it to look like ZvP is imbalanced.

while mana was over committed to the warp prism harass, he was "over-expanding" and "overdroning". he even took a gold base. awesome play.
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

Stephano seems to remax and macro faster than any other Zerg around, incredible to watch. Mana needs to be a lot more aggressive and his third was very late there. With Stephano on 4base vs 2 of Mana for so long I couldn't help thinking it was over...

MaNa did some really cute things with that warp prism that I really like, but his third was way too late.

After the sniping the lair, he should have just expanded, not tried to attack the gold, but drop the zealots on the building bases.

He couldn't expand because Stephano had a very sizable ling/roach army at his 3rd preventing that. Also, MaNa was teching to Colossus tech so he didn't have a large standing army.

Really good game. Just a shame mana couldn't get his 3rd up during his harrass, if he'd done that he would have been in much better shape

wow you're an idiot. are you sad because someone from poland is getting thrashed? nationalism is sad bro.




Nationalism is nothing sad and there's nothing wrong with it. What you call his behaviour is idiocy.

Some of his prism harrass was extremely skillfully executed, but I don't think his overall game plan was good. He gave up any chance of pressuring additional expansions and defending against pressure when he spend like 2000 resources on quite prism harrass so stephano could out macro him. If Stephano had even better composure he would have dealt slightly better with the harrass, had creep all over, and upgrades going. Unless the zerg is unsure how to react I think too many resources were poured into this harrass.

We know you love MaNa but come on its noice reduction headphones there is 10k fans screaming they can not hear the commentators.

MaNa is a great player but Stephano is in another league

I get the feeling that Mana is playing quite well, it's as if he's doing a lot of things right and microing well, the only problem is that the situations he's ending up in are completely unwinnable.

The hallmark of good Zerg play is that it makes the Protoss look helpless, with no chance to pressure and no way to keep up economically.

What a great strategy by mana, who seemed to get infinitely ahead, but stephano is so good. I don't see how either player made a mistake.

fun series


Mana had to synchronize his harrasment with either a faster third or a 2-base colossus push (since Stephano had no spire). As the game played out, he had a bunch of units sitting in the middle of the map while Stephano had 5 bases to his 2.
