IPL3 is still fresh in my mind, but this MLG is totally changing things up! After watching Stephano vs Boxer, it's safe to say that Stephano has fallen from Mvp/Nestea level. I personally put him around Incontrol level now. I don't know about Boxer though, at what level do you guys think he is now that he beat a former foreigner bonjwa?


No...please....just no....

Wow, so much Stephano hate here, some people are really petty. That was a stupid spot to morph his broodlords by Stephano, he would have crushed that with no vikings out. Too bad, players make mistakes. Nestea lost his final GSL game to MvP because MvP took his third before his natural and Nestea never scouted it. Stupid mistake. Players make them. Doesn't mean someone is suddenly trash.


Trust me, Stephano is not going to get enough hate to outweigh the massive fan worship. Europe worships him as hard as North America worships HuK.

How people can infer so much from 1 best of 3 in a game of imperfect information where you can make a mistake from simply not knowing everything is beyond me.

lol losing a good series vs boxer dosnt mean you're suddenly worse. i really hate this theme of a player getting hyped > performing well > loses in 1 tourny and suddenly everyone goes "hahah nubnub hypetrain crashes".

He went into the losers bracket pretty early and got pretty far, i'd say hes done just fine. 1 bo3 dosnt make or break a player lol. He's still an awesome young talent who perhaps have some abit extreme fanboys but all "new" superstars have those, look at early TLO.

But why did he get so overhyped? People should try to stay a bit more humble. If people did not go:
"Stephano is best zerg player in the world!!!"
"Stephano is the next bonjwa"
"Stephano, please crush the emperor, that cheesy noob"
etc.
Then no one would go "hahah nubnub hypetrain crashes".


Omg, did the hype train crash? What a horrible accident! Did anyone get hurt?


well we have casualties everytime something like this happens...as in bans ;D

I think SlayerS studied Stephano's play. Stephano always seems to include roaches in his early-midgame compositions, until infestors hit, and in every game BoxeR was prepared to counter it. He exploited Stephano's lack of banelings by making sure that even if his bio died, his tanks scored big hits and forced engagements.

Also, Boxer's macro looked really good in that 3rd game. People are being too quick to diss Stephano's play and aren't looking at what Boxer did right. Remember long time BW players are experts at dissecting builds.


Well said.

There's a reason the Koreans are so damn good at this game, and it isn't because of some inherent racial talent, it's because they understand how to study the game, how to adapt and how to improve their play in short periods.

Boxer is one of the smartest players in Starcraft. He might not have the best mechanics, or the best micromanagement but he is a fucking smart man and he knows what he needs to do to prepare for a tough match.

So glad to see that pay off for him. I hope he can continue to do well.

I agree. The only reason why I suggested the possibility of Steph becoming a Bonjwa is because I had some weird pyschotropic hallucination of the future where he had Perfect Play every single game.
If you can't jam with the best, then you have to slam with the rest.

Some fanboys did. Do they count?

Oh, and LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!

I'll grin for a week if he wins MLG.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

Why Polt not on the main stage ? Seriously this guys does not get the credit he deserves. Look at his run, he is coming from the open lower bracket ? How many bo3 did he had to play ? Polt for the win.


If he gets past Haypro (going to be tough), then he SHOULD get mainstage against Puma. Except if MLG has a boner for Idra and put him on main stage vs. Sase/Boxer.

Haypro going to be tough? What...?


Haypro beat Boxer in pool play lol.

Upsets happen. Polt is the super tournament champion and is 16-0 right now in lower bracket


Yeah I know, Polt is probably going to stomp him but I just think it´s a little funny that Haypro beat Boxer especially now that Boxer beat Stephano.


I think Stephano could have killed Boxer without big problems but for some reason he chooses to go for some interesting (stupid) strategies like 13minute Lair into no banelings.. I mean watch Stephano's ZvTs and you see that he loses pretty much only when he get no banelings, and he makes that quite often.. not sure why..
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity
