How come Stephano vs Grubby always endup 10x more onesided than it should on paper? :/

Stephano in good shape is (arguably) among the best 10 / 20 players of the world. I don't know if Grubby is even top 50. So no, it shouldn't be close.

thx for unbiased opinion

Perfect tournament, lets go!
This just shows how talented Stephano is. I would go as far to say he is the best zerg in the world at the moment. But not by much ^_^


Not in the world :/, but best foreign zerg most definitely. Dont think anyone can prove otherwise atm.

Stephano's macro, micro, timing, strategy, and game sense is a complete package. It's hard to think of another NA/EU player who is good in every aspect. Sen and Naniwa can compete, but both have their weaknesses - Stephano has very few weaknesses.

True, but this is different: Stephano litterally has 95%-ish winratio vs Grubby. Stephano is way better, but it shouldn't be 20:1 in rato...

We CAN call Stephano a top 2 foreign Zerg I guess, but not more. He still has to prove himself in GSl against the koreans yet, where every single other foreigner before him fell. The difference between him and the other foreigners is that he just doesnt make mistakes. So do all the koreans, but the thing is, some koreans play genius + flawless, and thats whats called a GSl champion.

Would it be possible that Grubby loses the mindgame and isn't able to perform as good as he should do on paper?

Ugh why did Grubby wait so long to warp in.. then he did it when the lings were about to kill the pylon. T_T There goes any chance of aggression.

Yeah, and he stomps everyone while experimenting with a variety of mid-late game strategies and unit compositions, a different one each day.

He has already played versus koreans. That's really annoying to have to " prove yourself in GSL ".

Sen. The only foreigner left in GSL, among all the koreans

I don't know how Protoss are supposed to counter that.
To say the truth, I don't think they can.

Against whom if I may ask you? MMA in an online qualifier? Some Code A or Code B players outside of korea? GSL is different than any other tournament.
