It was weird sack of mutas & lings and sack of roaches. Maybe overconfident.

Roaches? EFFICIENT?

Surely you jest. Roaches are cheap, but they're pretty much the least cost efficient unit in the game.


Roaches are incredibly cost efficient until max, so I guess you would say they're not supply efficient.

this tournament is just stupid. How can you run a tournament without soundproof booths at all that just lets the players turn their head to see everything that's going on?

Man, please don't spread false stuff like that.

What do you think happens if a player turns his head in front of this crazy crowd ? Seriously, it's not like he can do something unnoticed on stage...


sure he could. And I dont think theres a rule that says, dont turn around during the match or something. its really pretty weird that this possibility exists for the players (although I dont think anyone would ever make use of it)


A player can also leave his computer and stab his opponent...

I'm sure ESWC has a clause in their ruleset that gives referees power to make calls on the fly especially in these kinds of situations.


wow I didnt know that. would be pretty awesome to watch I guess

and on a serious note: you can be "sure" while still being wrong. The player could also just say my neck hurt and I had to turn around or something like that. (if a rule that would punish that even exists)
I tink, MC so sterong

Very mineral/gas efficient, but very supply inefficient.

As opposed to Stalkers, which are very supply efficient but ridiculously mineral/gas inefficient.

Mana should go stargate then warp in zealot to surprise stephano. He should not do the same thing again.

Zomg Stephano was ahead by 2 bases then started suiciding roach armies into Mana's base, is he match fixing?!

Honestly though, I hope the series goes to the 5 game for some extra excitement

He was still at school when he won this tourney, and couldn't practice full-time, so he was actually not a pro..

I don't get why Stephano gg'd there, he still could've just gathered a decent army and killed MaNa if he sacced a hatch. :/

It was 80 supply vs 150, and he had no money.


Because Stephano kept streaming in 5 roaches at a time. If he would've just sacced the bottom right hatch and gathered a decent group of roaches and hydras rather than throwing 5-10 at a time at MaNa's army he could've had a good chance.

Please Mana make immortals instead of colossi. Invest you gas into high templars. This will destroy that roach/ling so hard.

How are roaches not cost efficient?? I don't even...
Not supply efficient at all though

Not really. His first big success was third place at Assembly Summer 2011. He beat Sen in that tournament. He clearly was already an experienced player at that time.
Also he made an appearance in the first Shoutcraft Invitational, but didn't do very well. That was several months ago.
Saying that something is killing esports is killing esports.

If you still aren't satisfied:

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Stephano

"Prior to playing StarCraft II, Stephano was a notable premier French Warcraft III player who began his competitive career in RTS games at the young age of 14. "

Perhaps he only recently became full-time SC2 pro, but he used to play WC3 for a while competitively.

EDIT: Also, as far as not counting as a pro because you are in education as well, for most of the first year of Sc2 Nada made the Semi-finals of the GSL while at Seoul university, and he most definitely counted as a pro.

Isn't that just arguing semantics? I'm mean by that definition a lot of "pros" wouldn't be pros because of school and such.
