I think mods need to come in here and clean up a little bit. Some retarded comments flowing around.

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.


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.


I remember Stephano got stomped by Squirtle repeteadly. It was weird because even his fanclub was saying how well Squirtle played.

EDIT: Also, one thing I want to note is that he repeatedly stomp Sage at first, but... it almost looked like Sage was getting better due to their games against each other and towards the end, they were pretty even in matches if you exclude the time before the Blizzard Cup.

I've been watching the replays of those games to see what I can figure out sometimes; it feels weird watching them because Squirtled played WAY better than he normally does in the GSL...

Stephano's style is very aggressive but also late game oriented. He will defend ANYTHING that gets used against him with spines and Roaches while expanding everywhere and pouncing on weaknesses so fast. His mechanics rival Korean progamers, it's not surprising he won that series.

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


ok:D

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



and those ppl dont even know shit about games.

all MC did was allining EVERY GAME. there was no lategame and that is the only thing ppl hate on atm. we know that protoss has strong timings that are hard to deal with, but protoss nowadays relies on doing those and thats garbage

Grubby and MaNa take games from him regularly


sephano must be something like 10-1 vs Grubby lol

Talking about ladder here, Grubby manages to beat him there now and then

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.


It's actually how Zerg works. You drone as much as you can, often times too much to be safe at the same time, but your opponent cannot know that easily, and he gets freely behind if you get away with it. Ret is just the extreme of this view.

Zerg is a good race. Infestor good unit. Brood Lord good unit. Good thing protoss has good late game units like carriers. Oh, wait... Anyway, people who dont think the game is balanced are just QQing noobs. Its not like Protoss has nothing to deal with the zerg late game death ball.

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.

Just split the Broodlords or neural the mothership and you are completely fine.


Even if the BL are split you still lose half of your army and the Protoss can finish that off before the vortex pops.

Just neural the Mothership? Just feedback the Infestors. Neither one is particularly easy when HT are picked off right away by broods and infestors are picked off right away by collosus.

Grubby never did a single feed back vs these mass infestors why ?


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.


Yes and while they drop HTs to feedback infestors they cant forget to blink under brood lords and target them 1 by 1, vortex before mothership gets NPd and go back to base to warp in more units. Its very crucial to do all this to defeat the zergs A-move and use of 2 infestor spells.

You mean by top korean protossses only MC right?


Well he's pretty much only played MC in tournaments of the korean tosses but in ladder he gets roflstomped a lot. I don't watch his stream very much but I saw him play against Sage and he got to his mass broodlord/infestor late game comp and still he got absolutely crushed.

I thought you stopped watching? Stop crying balance it's annoying as hell and stephano is clearly the better player right now.


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.


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.


Right. Don't try to argue on a forum if that's the best you can come up with, kid.

Your inability to cast and observe isn't so great too.
Wow that's harsh.

But about observing - maybe sometimes TB can follow the battle more actively when it slides out of the screen. Happened yesterday too and seems so surprising, like the obs is not really watching the screen for a moment, assuming it's a battle.

Stop lying. I watch Stephano`s steam and he harldy faces Grubby in ladder. The last time they actually played eachother was like 2 months ago, before he was going to Korea. All of those games Stephano only lost one.

Were the Grubby-Stephano games good? 3-0 seems pretty decisive.

Broodlords really ruin games. So boring to watch.

On the topic of the match, meh? Neither player looking very good in that last round.

How does a protoss deal with 15 infestors, a billion broodlords, and corruptors >< It's so strong.


He avoids to put himself in that kind of situation. Easier to say than to do, but it's the solution. Remember HSC4, how many times MC did go in late game vs zerg? Never.
