And the question is, will Grubby be finally able to do it ???
He should have an advantage now, he must have studied Stephano builds pretty hard in case of he meets him again

as zerg you can just make ovis at around halftime before injected larvae pops out, than you have enough supply, when you need it
stephano doesnt seem to have a problem macroing

It's okay to be supply blocked as long as it isn't hindering your production cycles. Key difference.


And even if it is, as long as you're not attacked or not utilizing those units immediately, it still won't cut into your production cycle, as larvae accumulates. As long as you don't go beyond the normal 3 larvae at the hatch, that is.

Grubby fast expands, being annoying with his starting probe delaying Stephano's natural, then 3rd base.

Fastforward now - +1 5gate aggression coming out of Grubby. Stephano already has a handful or roaches and 3 base decently saturated. Deflects the attack with ease, Grubby backs up and is going Robotics.

People really think Stephano gets supply blocked frequently and it affects his games? I can understand maybe if you don't know anything about how Zerg works. Racial supply block severity looks something like this.

Most Severe - Terran > Protoss > Zerg - Least Severe

Supply block as Terran is a critical mis-step because they have no way of accelerating their build-time and as such dumping resources. A supply-block as Terran WILL result in a smaller army at any given point in time before 200/200. Having those minerals in the bank, unable to spend them, does nothing. A supply-block as Protoss isn't good, but it's not as bad. You can dump resources with a warp-in after the fact and then use chrono-boost to catch up with having to build more production facilities. A Terran's only option if he can't spend his money is to build more production facilities so he can spend it faster, which in itself takes time. A supply-block for a Zerg generally only makes a big difference if you are in the process of being attacked. If you're building drones and you spot the army coming across the map. You go to build units and suddenly you can't, you're in deep shit. If you can point out when this happens for Stephano, then fair enough but honestly, I must have cast 50 maps of his in the last few months at least and I can't remember one instance of that happening. Otherwise, supply block for Zerg really does not matter all that much. If your opponent is not attacking, getting supply blocked isn't going to limit you very much at all. You can stockpile larvae up to 19 per hatch, you can then immediately spend it all at once provided you have the necessary resources to do so. The supply block does nothing to you in this respect. The only time this is really going to affect you while macroing is if you get supply blocked frequently while building rounds of drones, ergo slowing down your economy since you've been able to mine less over X period of time.

if you watch carefully, you could see it now, stephano was 76/76, 4 ovis were made, few seconds after the larvae pops out
edit: and now 110/110, 6 ovis

It looks like players are so afraid of Stephano defense they don't try to attack him, so he takes advantage from this by droning like crazy

What TB said. Stephano is in no way perfect, but supply blockages aren't a real problem for a player of his level.

Correction. He doesn't lose to Grubby. He's got an absurd record head to head with him, hopefully Grubster pushes him a bit closer this time.
VERY FRAGILE, LIKE A BABY PANDA EGG
