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.

How strong is Stephano's ZvZ?

It feels like that's one matchup you need a strong practice partner to learn with.


Ret and Dimaga good enough?^^ Stephano's ZvZ is very macro oriented and pretty solid as far as ZvZ goes.

You know, Stephano is capable of top 4 code S. Calling it now.


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


He has 82% win rate playing vs the top european players and everyone knows his style. I am not saying he will own the koreans but i don't think there are actually holes to be exploited

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.


He wasn't really defending drops well, and StC was macroing better, Stephano was floating a ton of minerals/took a fourth much later than StC's

How to lessen the lag (not fix, but it will get noticeably better!)

1. go to http://www.twitch.tv/ignproleague
2. pop-out video, close the tab
3. quality to 720p


this worked for me, or it was an amazing coincidence that the stuttering stopped

Me also! I had to turn down to 360 though but no more stuttering finally!

This is what people are talking about when they say Stephano is overrated.

He's a great European Zerg. He is not god.

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.


wait wat, he's that young? Omg what am I doing with my life, reading infinite shakespeare plays...

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.

Stephano not code s level? he is rolling over every korean so far.. Unlike any other forginer.

Because group stages did not matter ?
Why show your true skill before it really matters.

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

that would be very very interesting!

Overreaction. He's very good, and if he went to Korea and played there for a while like Huk, he more than likely could make the quarterfinals or above, but if the Koreans got to see him play more and got a feel for how he plays, he might have a tough time.

A lot of people thought Thorzain, Naniwa, etc. were going to destroy Code A, and we haven't seen a foreigner get to the top eight in Code A since Huk. He's the only one to ever do it.

Yo guys! How was he coping with mech or hellions+bio terrans? He really does have an interesting style of ZvT.


on ladder he makes only lings if they go bio. roach/ling if they go mech. Roach/ling/queen if they go mech with air.

so I guess he adds roaches against mech, but sticks with the infestors and ultras.


Yeah, if they do heavy hellion he will do that roach attack as well. And then often queens in general.
