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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I wonder if Stephano will come back to the pro scene after his studies

I heard lings and Ultras can't shoot up

Ghosts with Marauders and Marines, build tanks once Ultras are cleared.
Use ghosts to EMP/Snipe infestors, and Snipe Ultras.
