Ugh, such a salty comment...

From a baneling all in to a roach all in... He's on four friggin bases.

I realise you're from the US mr bitter, and I realise illusion is also but at least be realistic, Stephano could have won that with mass queen.

4 hatch doesnt = 4 base when you have about 30 drones

He had 50 when the game ended, and as if that wasn't enough he killed off Illusion's army, so he could've made 20 drones instantly and not have had to worry about an attack coming.

Mind blowing.... where do the units keep coming from?


News flash. Roaches and Zerglings are free. Zerg can sustain constant production of them from 4 hatcheries with 38 drones.

Those 2 additional hatchs were built because stephano banked like 800 minerals during the initial ling/bling attack.

no dude, what he said was true, baneling bust to roach all in, it was smart on stephano's part and mr bitter just called it.

The best thing is that he throws units en masse at illusion and still manages to take 4 bases behind all that..

He had 4 bases, but didn't had drones to mine on it.
Those extra bases worked as macro hatcheries.

It would be so funny if Illusion beats Stephano.. it's quite possible since he beat Lucky pretty convincingly. Those who are thinking this is gonna be a walk for Stephano may be in for a bitter surprise.

Sorry, wasn't even close =/
It might have seemed close because Stephano opted for semi risky builds to end up games quickly and Illusion defended quite well, but there was a big gap between the 2 players. WP by Illusion though, he was close to make those defenses work and take one more game.

I hope you're joking. First of all, Bitter has ridiculous zerg bias, not US bias. Second stephano was on super low drones, it was all in. If he didn't do damage with those roaches he was in huge trouble no matter how many hatcheries he had.

Some people in this community are so biased its a joke.

it was 2 base, with 3rd and 4th being built at same time because of bad macro during early ling bane all in. And if anything, MrBitter is Stephano biased.


Essentially correct on most of your statement except that wasn't because of bad macro. Stephano has near flawless macro on 2 bases, I'm pretty sure you just can't spend the money making only lings and banes, you'll always have extra in the bank. Seemed like 2 macro hatches, but he could have just transitioned into a full on macro game from there. GG

Insane defense by Illusion, I think the kid deserves a lot of credit for holding that long against Stephano.

I think Stephano is going to win the whole thing, but maybe Kas can manage to beat him. Anyway is way too late for me already so I'll have to check the results tomorrow morning xD

It was literally impossible for him to not do damage with those roaches though, no? Unless he move commanded them to the main mineral line though, he hardly had a job on his hands.

Even though Illusion lost I have still been very impressed by this kid. He reminds me of Stephano back in the days when he was totally unknown. Just the terran version.
