What do they have to deal with it?


Archon toliet? Whenever archon toliet beats infestor brood comp everyone bitches about archon toliet. Everytime Infestor Brood beats a late game protoss comp everyone bitches about infestor brood.

I bitch because it is a STUPID way to decide lategame. General pattern assuming the early/midgames went Ok for both players, when it gets to the BL/Infestor combo stage:

1. Protoss has mothership and nails a good archon toilet. Protoss wins.
2. Protoss has no mothership or vortex fails. Zerg wins.

That is a stupid dynamic to me, from both sides of the equation.

He makes most European Protosses sad Zealots. He gets roflstomped by top Korean Protosses though.


rolfstomped? who MC? thats one. And as soon stephano learn that MC never builds 3rd base he will deal with it

You should watch Stephano stream from Korea and see the top korean protoss he slaughtered tbh.

No one cares about ladder. MC is the only top Protoss he's faced in a tournament and he's been raped everytime.


ok, im sure DRG and MMA agree:D

So 1 protoss beats him wow outrage. Call the national guard..

how is stephano the better player right now?
i dont see a difference at all.

both stay passive and macro, grubby even gets a lead after the first skirmishes guess what happens: Army A is unbeatable to Army B.

Not sure if troll or srs right now? Grubby is a great player but he made some weird decisions in g3, eg: Stop to pressure zerg when he is ahead, losing random collosi to fungals, losing many prisms and last but not least: going carriers.

Grubby is worse because he lost late game ZvP while in a lead.

Have you not seen how every zerg for the last few months gets raped from archon + mothership + HT (storm on the infested terran eggs/balls)

No, I haven't seen any of your ladder games.

Stephano is sitting inside Grubby's head, really, all those tiny mistakes that Stephano used to run away with the games ... I don't get the hesitation to build more HTs from Grubby, they are awesome. Some storm drops would laugh at all those spines from Stephano.

Also I'm not sure Grubby has enough experience with lategame PvZ, mothership without archons is kinda weak.

Stephano is 0-5 vs MC.

MC plays to win not to impress balance whiners and wood league players on forums. He's not an idiot that's why he's won $250,000 from this game.

Yeah, Stephano might be a league above Grubby still but he is definitely a league(or two) below MC.

And Thorzain fighting!

dont make balance excuses for grubby being the worse player. if you ever watched stephano playing against top korean protosses with this playstyle you'd see that they dont have any trouble dealing with it. its just that grubby's lategame management/harass/army micro is not that good.

Not balance whining but can you give show me an example? None of Stephano's games I remember vs top Korean Protosses have allowed him to reach this composition.


That's exactly how you beat it

Grubby played an absolutely terrible late game to allow Stephano to mass up so many infestor/broodlords. Against a good player, you simply don't get to sit around till you have the spare 10,000 gas for that unit composition.


so you admit that protoss relies on timings and 2/3 base allins to beat zerg? how funny is that please. shouldnt it be possible for any race to at least have the possiblity to fight any army almost equally in very late game to be able to win games with massive leads?
Its sad that you kill 50 supply of a Zerg army (zerg, the race iwth the highest income usually) with any composition?

did you watch the mc games? he killed him before the late game.

Exactly. So what does it stop Grubby from doing that? Macro games to his viewers? GIve me a break...

Again, a joke.

I think Hts won't get past the broodlings to feedback.


You can and should argue that a quicker, faster and more precise protoss player would use a warp prism for feedbacks. Time the HT/feedback drops with the broodlords slow reload speed.


You'd think Stephano would fungal the Warp Prism.. like he did with the 6 other Warp Prisms Grubby made over the course of the game..

I would say Steph's strongest MU is ZvP, I don't think I've seen him lose a ZvP series while he has laddered.

Grubby and MaNa take games from him regularly


sephano must be something like 10-1 vs Grubby lol

I will root so much for Thorzain because Ret is just a Macro cheeser. all he does is mass drones early on and he wins if the enemie does not kill him then. All the games i saw when the opponent did a 2base push or allin he lost.

Funny how many people think he is good because they cant believe how fast his drone count builds up.


Kind of agree (with pain in my heart). Ret really isn't very good anymore, largely due to poor motivation. He gets a lot of wins based on his incredible talent, but he really isn't up to date in terms of strategies. All he does is open supergreedy and then hope to overpower opponents in the midgame if it goes unpunished.

Hell he is the only Zerg that still goes roach/hydra in ZvP

Non of those games lasted 40min + though, so your comparisen is invalid on how to beat zerg endgame comp.
It does tell that Stephano can be beaten early to midgame but not much more tbh.

Not saying there is imbalance but i have yet to see a protoss without luck defeat this kind of comp.
Could be a way and pro's will find it, while we whine and talk all kinds of nonsense.
