Contrary to popular belief Stephano is not from the States, any mindless spam asserting otherwise after this time (19:48 KST/ 5:48 AM EST/ 10:48 GMT) will meet a moderator response. We have enough confusing spam posting in LR threads these days. Lets try to keep the love for everyone's favourite French zerg reasonable.

And as always:
- No player bashing.
- No caster bashing.
- No balance whining.

Enjoy the games.

MVP vs HerO!!!!!!!
Gonna be legen.... WAIT FOR IT!
it will be a legendary roflstomp

i do not see how hero can even scratch mvp. hero vs. puma is a very even match right now, and mvp is exponentially stronger than puma


We thought the same when MMA faced MVP in the GSL final everyone thought MVP would have this easy. But you never know and thats why I love starcraft:D


But MMA's beaten MVP before a few times, and I believed MMA would win that. Hero on the other hand, i do not think he has beaten nor even matched with MVP yet has he?


They've played 5 times, MVP leads 4-1


Are you talking about matches? even if MVP won more matches, MMA has still been able to take off a good number of games off MVP to be considered to be a "worthy" opponent. And I think MMA 4-1'd MVP or something in that GSPA tourny, even if it's not that important. So even if MVP is better their skills (judged by performances) seemed close enough that it would be a decent match.


Nah, I was referring to the MVP vs HerO part of your post. Sorry, I trimmed the quote to make that clearer.


oh kk that makes a lot more sense :D

sorry myself, i didn't read carefully ^^;

When Stephano or MVP or whoever loses, let's guess the blame:

Jet lag
Map balance
Bo1 (even though it is 4 games)
Race imba
Matchup imba
Not enough time to practice
Groups too big

Antiga is a map MVP doesn't lose on


Ouch... 13-1 on Antiga.

yup

If it was a different map, I would put Hero's chances above 0%

But I thought everyone has figured out Antiga is a very terran favored map by now, so I'm not sure why anyone thinks this match will be close

I think Stephano's chance of getting 3rd in this group are good, but I don't see any way he can beat MVP on Shakuras either. Can't just look at players, need to look at maps too.


I agree with you on that, no way MVP losses on that map to Stephano we all saw what he did to Nestea at blizzcon. I also think Hero vs Stephano gonna be a lose for Stephano. Hero looks so damm great in that matchup atm. It all comes down to his match vs DRG and MC if he can win those 2. his record will be 2-2 and then I think he will go further


If I'm thinking of the same game, I don't feel that game was unwinnable for Nestea.

My predictions

IMMVP <Bel'Shir Beach Winter> oGs.SK.MC
MVP is so sick, saw him once again dominate on WCG, the traveling will affect him obviously, It isn't possible it won't but still he should be able to take down MC.
liquid'HerO <Daybreak> M|Stephano
Both these players are so unique and talented, however I think HerO's style suits perfectly to Stephano's style. His aggresive style will give Stephano loads of problems.
IMMVP <Tal'Darim Altar LE> coL.MvP.DongRaeGu
DRG is and stays a beast in ZvT, MVP can't be in topshape, it's best of 1, taken all these things is consideration DRG takes this match.
oGs.SK.MC <Calm Before the Storm> liquid'HerO
MC's mirror match is great, HerO and MC trained a lot together, however I think MC is just a little better in mirror match.
M|Stephano <Crossfire SE 1.1> coL.MvP.DongRaeGu
Stephano in ZvZ is a class apart, he got this without a doubt.
liquid'HerO <Antiga Shipyard 1.1> IMMVP
This game HerO gonna show how PvT has to be played, we all have seen games of him against PuMa on both dreamhack & NASL, now he has gotten the time to prepare for blizzcup and I am sure he will not disappoint us.
M|Stephano <Dual Sight 1.1> oGs.SK.MC
Stephano will (ab)use his mutalisk like crazy, and even tough MC got great blink stalker control, it won't be enough. this game will be Stephano's.
liquid'HerO <Shakuras Plateau 2.0> coL.MvP.DongRaeGu
HerO's PvZ is from another world, DRG's ZvP hasn't impressed me that mauch so far, HerO will take this (with ease).
M|Stephano <Shakuras Plateau 2.0> IMMVP
MVP has to win this match will he be able to make it through the next round.... so he does, everything is on stake this game, and then we will see the best and scariest MVP there is.
oGs.SK.MC <Crossfire SE 1.1> coL.MvP.DongRaeGu
MC's PvZ is pretty decent, DRG's ZvP isn's that impressive, conclussion: MC wins

1. liquid'HerO
2. IMMVP
3. M|Stephano
4. oGs.SK.MC
5. coL.MvP.DongRaeGu

So actually I think MVP, Stephano & MC all tie with 2 wins, however MC does lose to both Stephano & MVP so he is out, MVP beats Stephano so, Stephano 3, MVP 2.

My top 3 are Map balance, Bo1 and not enough time to practice in that order.

People who race and match-up whine usually don't stay up for first rounds of GSL events.

I don't think MVP will win on belshir against MC. MVP's strongest strength is being able to metagame with 1/1/1 but he doesn't have that advantage on that map and it'll probably be a drawn out bio vs. deathball game which is exactly what MC wants.

When stephano wins, Let´s guess the blame

Korean´s are jetlagged.
Bo1 means nothing.
Stephano got lucky with his unsually style that will get figured out eventually.
Good maps for stephano.
MVP are tired after WCG

:D

It puzzles me that many of you think Stephano will do better than MC and DRG.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

For the record, MVP lost to Nestea on shakuras in the brackets at blizzcon, and with the finals played on shakuras having Nestea on a huge lead all game long, I wouldn't say the same either.
