Because he is a good caster, along side Apollo and has actually improved greatly recently with his analysis I have noticed. Don't like it? Turn it off. Not hard.

I can deal with pages of Balance QQ. Pretty standard at TL.

But people blatently insulting the organizer/caster/thread owner of this tournament is fucking terrible class. These people shouldn't get warnings. They should get insta perma-bans.

He's entertaining. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean everyone doesn't. Plus it is his own damn tournament funded with his own money, he can cast it if he wants..

Because he's a good caster. The real question is, does making a new account to troll help you sleep at night?

If it wasn't for TB I wouldn't be watching this. Take your hate somewhere else, please.

He's entertaining to listen to and D_Apollo is there for the knowledge.

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...


Yes Squirtle had Stephanos number. Stephano just coulnt beat Squirtle. But sage nahh


Well... at the beginning, Stephano made Sage look so terrible that it was getting sad. But after the Blizzard Cup, Sage was slowly stepping up his game to the point where it looked like they were going even TOWARDS THE END because yea Stephano stomped him hard at first....

I couldn't help but feel that it was like watching teammates play against each other though... what with how many times they played and when you play so much.

MC, Oz, Squirtle, JYP. On his stream he was beaten pretty easily by all these Protoss players, IIRC.

Arguing that Stephano can somehow "figure out" MC and then "deal with it" is just blind fanboyism. *looks at name* Oh, hi HappyChris. What a surprise.

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.



i mostly talk from watching his stream back when he was laddering in korea. so i guess you could find replays of that in his korea ladder reppack. half the games i watched that got to lategame zvp he got demolished by mass zealot warpins all over his expos and mothership/ht/stalker/collossus. you just threaten an attack with your main force as you warp prism in 2 different places, so he cant split effectively.

I find that bashing a caster in a tournament that he hosted in himself very low(?). Regardless, he rarely says anything wrong (since he never analyses) and is very entertaining so that's why people enjoy him casting.
