I dont understand your reasoning, July's still in and the only korean zerg that has been there? Not sure if Lucky was there but afaik he's the only korean zerg present and still in the competition

People are hyping Stephano and his macro so hard, forgetting that he takes GIANT risks early game. And Boxer just punished that. That wasnt stephanos usual play though, no idea why he changed it up, maybe the bunker rush and the need to defend with drones just ufcked up his build, but yer, if anything I'd say he normally takes very few risks, since he's relying on zlings and upgrades.
I agree, I feel like that's why his playstyle has been taking the scene by storm. Mass zlings with ups allows you to defend almost any ground force efficiently while posing the threat of counterattacks. All the while he is aggressively expanding and teching because he spends relatively little gas on his defense.

I agree. He is really good, no question about that. But he is way overhyped. I think the same goes for MKP aswell. The community loves to hype it to the max.

IMO Cross spawn Metalopolis is about as hard as it gets for Terran in TvZ.
I'd rather have Cross spawn Tal'Darim Altar.

I don't want to start a balance discussion, but 60+% win rate for zerg WITH close pos does sound pretty zerg favoured.

Some terrible LRing coming up:
Machine vs Hero Game 3 on Metalopolis
Hero spawns on 9 and Machine on 3 (sort of). Pool first for Machine. Hero blocks the Hatchery and puts down his Forge. Machine blocking Hero's Nexus while getting a Queen. Cannon and Gateway for Hero. Machine pauses the game. Machine pausing like a madman. Machine going for gold by getting the gold, while hero gets 2 gas and his core.
6.00 Hero scouts the gold and throws down 5 more gates! Machine getting his Evo chamber and a Roach Warren. Hero getting +1 Attack

unless you use a ton of mech or ghosts it's actually really really hard imo, but not imbalanced

No one bashes Stephano. The problem is with his zerglings fanboys, they exaggerate anything he does ridiculously.

Yes yes, let's keep up the trend of inviting at least 2 Kr terrans to each MLG.

How is MKP overhyped?
A lot of korean players talk about him in their interviews, he is very respected by the pro korean players.

i dont really feel all this boxer hype is really genuine for the most part. i think most people here like him because all the casters are telling you you have to because he is a broodwar legend. i didnt follow the broodwar scene so im not really a fan of him. does it give you street credibility to love boxer? its kind of the same phenomenon with whitera in his case i can understand it more because he is so funny and nice and has funny english but what has boxer ever done for you?
