Stephano vs. Kas (Kas champ)

I get so confused watching it, I never understand how he wins, but he almost always does.
I feel the same, he seems to play in a fairly odd way and hold things he's not supposed to. Its really hard to quantify what the difference is. The zvz he played at the shoutcraft invitational early on against Darkforce (?) I think was a perfect example, where he skipped tech for ages and massed roaches and won vs roach-infestor.

Drone until the last possible moment and make units. Yeah but he seems to go past that last possible moment and still hold. remember DRG-stephano at bllizzard cup? defending an early pool with an early hatch?

ROFL, stephano suddenly gets a 10 supply lead. EDIT: WTF, massive miscontrol, Stephano fucked up. Those 2 baneling hits ruined a won game.
|
I wish Stephano would just say GG.
It shouldn't bother me but it does, every time he says " gratz " I think he's being sarcastic and BMing.
|
yeah, he was reckless with his lings, his macro is better than violet's tho, so still favorite here.
|
1-1, I think it was Stephanos first loss against a korean zerg in tournaments. But 8-1 is still pretty good.

Didn't see that game, I whish I did my two favourite zergs playing against each other =D DRG is better imo though.

I think its another one of his mindgames, I remember someone explained (MaNa?) that at the beginning of the game he adds player name to normal "gl hf" to disturb his opponnent a bit or smth.

lol "Scumbag Mr.Bitter: says every single drone was killed... still 5 drones at expansion" haha jkjk
keep up the good work

From what I have seen of him, Stephano is a very blunt person. He knows correctly that he is a top player, and beating him is an achievement for everyone save for the world's best. Therefore, he congratulates his opponents everytime they take a game off of him. I guess it is just his style, and he always does it so I do not think it is BM, just his individualistic way to concede a game.

Meh I'm pretty much done supporting Tyler based solely on the "old days" and such.
There are so many other great players out there deserving of attention and notice at the top level of play today who actually take their jobs seriously.
