Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment.

In addition leave the usual out of this topic:

-Balance complaints
-Map complaints
-Stream complaints
-Caster/player bashing
-Off topic discussions

Logically continue this list with things that are obviously frowned
upon. Enjoy the free and wonderful event with loads of games and coverage!

whatcha gonna do? you cant force a fight unless you have broodlords out so they can turtle their heart out and then 200supp a-move...


Infestors and Broodlords make the zerg army so much stronger. Stephano's compositions were too simple in those games.

Protoss figured out how to counter this composition by turtling about half a year ago. -.- Then zergs realized they could be aggressive and make it work by spreading the ball thin, but stephano is playing like he's in the aforementioned era.

Stephano just didn't play very well in both series, and you cannot win every tournament. And Naniwa is a boss anyway, I hope he advances.

please dont start this. Stephano its playing an outdates style.

Can you quick please tell me, what kind of army Stephano needed to win this/stay more on top in that fight?

I am low platinum myself and I end up having exactly the same comp of units against a protoss in my games.

Thanks

Stephano could have teched earlier. Some Infestors or BLords would have helped him alot!

Horrible play by stephano. He was in no position to roach/hydra/corruptor which is an awful composition anyways. But Nani played very well. Warp prism and DTs really shook stephano...

Lol? What would you have him do?

Tech up to either mutas or broodlord/infestor like everyone good at ZvP has been doing? Seriously, if you plan on going roach hydra you have to be aggressive but he didn't even try.

If you play a year old style then yeah
Roach Hydra Corruptor sucks unless you max on it by 14 minutes and just GO


Foreigner zvp is just on such a lower level than korean zvp. Foreigner zergs like roach hydra corruptor too much. When koreans do that they actually only really hit timings with it, not play all passive.

Idra vs Huk was pretty 1 sided.


+ Show Spoiler +
Huk wins the moment he spawns 1 dt in game 1 and the moment he holds off the 1 base roach all in in game 2.

no he couldn't have

Naniwa killed off all his expansions and kept him on 6 gas all game

he would have died if he teched to hive or infestors

huk didn't necessarily delay it. idra went for really late gas and didn't even bother to get it until DTs were nearly warping in next to his natural.
