If you don't know how to post in a live report thread by now, be advised: don't whine about game balance and don't bash players/casters/interviewers/staff/other posters. We are monitoring this thread closely.

Stop with the USA USA chant shit. Further offenses beyond page 493 will be met with bans. You've been warned.

I hope Stephano changes his mind about quitting starcraft in a year if he wins more tournaments and therefor more money. It seems to me he cares alot about the money, which you can't blame him for, but he seems to be able to live off of this if he stays at this level, also liking alot of his personality.


iirc he said that he was only getting 1 year of college off to try going full-time pro and if he suceeds he'll stay full-time pro.

How in the world did Alive beat Stephano in the group stages?


Alive is familiar with Stephano's style. They met before in IPL qualifier 2 Ro8. Terrans who have never played Stephano seem to usually lose.

Stc isn't handling ling/infestor very well because it's not part of korean metagame.

Stephano just looks dominant because of that, stop pretending he's code s level.



He is though

I think stephano's normal ZvT style might be beatable with mech, personally it's what I'd try if I knew he was doing ling infestor.

Not sure about that, his style is VERY strong right now, but games in the GSL are known well in advance and any top code S player would be able to study his games and be able to exploit holes


this, and also this is why nestea is top 2 in the GSL because the plays the player and isn't that strong(still strong) in the GSTL

Stephano does get Blizzard cup invite if he wins IPL. So he'll have his chance at the end of the year.

what's a good unit composition against Stephano's ling/infestor/ultra? maybe TheStC should try mass hellions?


Maras earlier?

Heck I have no idea


This was mainly about execution, not about strategy.
In theory TheStC did play it correctly (maybe ghosts, yes) but Stephano did just outplay him by defending the drops well enough and constantly harassing the gold. Really impressive.

It's amazing to think Stephano has come out relatively out of nowhere. His play is phenomenal.


To us it seems he has come out of nowhere but infact Stephano was already among the best during the beta (at least ladderwise).
That shows once again how long it takes from being a very very good player to a worldclass player even if you are as talented as Stephano.

Especially if you're still in high school and can only play a couple hours a day like Stephano was doing until a couple months ago.

I predict revolutionary ZvZ games in the finals. Just a feeling from these 2 zerg players, going to see some good matches I feel.

I'd just go marauder/hellion and kill Stephano.

Ghosts with Marauders and Marines, build tanks once Ultras are cleared.

Use ghosts to EMP/Snipe infestors, and Snipe Ultras.
Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!
