there isn't that much in the french cast that could actually help Stephano, for the most part they are hyping the final and struggling no to miss stuff left and right

it's probably more of a distraction to Stephano than anything else

Mana took his 3rd expo at 18min ... wtf is he thinking


This. If Mana took a third earlier he would've solidified his lead. Other than that Stephano is a beast.

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.

His point is more that it's hard to keep zerg econ down with midgame harassment. Mana did alright to take down tech, but couldn't dent Stephano's econ in the slightest.

Not that you're wrong. Mana's third was really late.

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.

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


They dont use player booths in pro CS matches either so, headphones do work.

User was warned for this post


And the other players notice that they can hear the casters and don't complain about it.
Oh come on, grow up and accept that he's an excellent player.

Well didnt he lose his main hatch on a warprism harass? I doubt it would have happened if he was cheating....

Also I dont think that other players would accept to play without saying anything if they thought Stephano was being helped in any way....

The game is never balanced around equal bases.
Protoss will never be on equal bases with zerg, because you can't.

I dont know how good Mana is at PvZ but MC would have done something better there. MC's style of PvZ seems more effective than other protosses.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe he thought that his harass would force too many units out of Stephano that could potentially bust him if he expanded early, due to relatively later colossi?
