I am sure Grubby is hoping that Stephano does not take part! I am impressed with Grubby's spirit and improvement, but Stephano just seems to have his number.

Grubby has been improving rapidly though...just a few months ago I remember his play being decent, but he made a lot of key mistakes. But now that he has solidified his game, his results are getting better and better.

I think now he has a mental block when it comes to Stephano due to too many losses. Same with Mana and Stephano. I think Idra has a similar situation when it comes to MC. Stephano seems to be very strong against Protoss recently. He has been practicing a lot with Mana and Bling.

I agree with the Stephano / Grubby and Mana/Stephano thing, but MC is just so much better then Idra and will always be that so that comparison is kinda bad
Slayers Dragon has been announced yesterday - on Millenium TV - to be one of the players of the cup ! Awesome, haven't seen him a lot in invitational cups. Hope he'll show good games.

back in w3 days, Grubby teached Stephano A LOT, and grubby won 95%+ of those games. when Grubby started playing sc2, Stephano teached Grubby a lot and guess what, Steffie won 95%+ of those matches they know each other play styles in and out, steffie seems to have got the edge
Last time I was only able to cast the finals which annoyed me quite a bit. This time I will cast at least two of the three days! Probably wont be able to cast on the first day as I have an exam for my korean class coming up.

Gonna be great, love the MSI tournaments!
Are you going to casting in English or German? Or depending on the lessons, Korean? ;+D
After getting crushed again today in LDLC Winter Trophy, Grubby's hopes that he will avoid Stephano in this tournament can only be reinforced! I am assuming Stephano will be unveiled in dramatic fashion as a participant at some point.

Huh? Thorzain participates in all the team leagues and also alot of other online cups.
Is this not listed on the TL calendar? Hopefully it will at least be featured stream, I can't see how it wouldn't be. I'm just surprised it's not on there, even though it's happening in like 12 hours I believe.
zomg "Homo" Dragon fighting ^_^;. So pleased to finally see him in an invitiational- though he is definately far from being the favourite. I want Dragon 1st but I believe this to be Stephano's tournament, Thorzain will probably end up 2nd as per ussaul xD.

Do you have relocalizer? If you do did you remember to do clean install using the relocalizer, before patching your game?

I've been using bigfoot. And with relocalizer I could maybe fix this, if I hadn't already patched. I didn't realize bigfoot would patch me when I just went on to the EU server. o.O;
ToD did that really well. He faked beelining for high templars and pushed out when he didn't have storm yet, so Dragon would see the temps. Meanwhile he was all the way up to colossustech and already doubleproducing them, so they surprised the unprepared Dragon. I feel Khaldors casting was a bit off this game, he failed to see ToD advantage time and time again.
For some reason I don't like ToD's play style. It's just boring to watch --- definitely effective though. Dragon doesn't seem to have really good micro with that reaper...

Beautiful play by Dragon, those observer snipes were sick. But he has to play Polt next which is unfortunate for him. If he actually takes out Polt, then he deserves a team. But I doubt he can take out the monster that is Polt.

Satiini bunker rushes the natural with reapers, kills the natural. But he doesn't wall off his ramp and Stephano streams lings into the base for the win.

I dont get Polt. I so want to agree with you, and then I see Polt falling to Code B. Like wth he is so strong, but meh.
Don't think Polt is a weak player because he lost to Creator. This TvP serie was close and Creator mainly won by a huge mindgame trick. Polt is still one of the best TvPer in Korea, and his other match up for this kind of european tournies is top notch.

BLs / Infestor ( when BLs count go up to 10 ) is pretty much impossible to deal with if you don't have the proper tool. ( Vortex + archons/storm stalkers / Viking and ghost ) The more time pass, the less i actually like the unit.

Well according to Stephano, even this is not enough. He says late game zerg (BL + infestors) cannot be beaten by Protoss, if the zerg doesn't make obvious mistakes (like stacking BLs).
That wasn't a very nice series, lot of mistakes, but fun to watch Now ZvZ...meh.

I recently see HasuObs destroy an BL+Infestor army (200v200 end with something like 190v100 at the end) but this is the kind of army toss doesn't have the time to make (you know 3/3/3 Carrier / Void Ray / Archon / Templar / MS)

I guess you are right. But with all the defeats the foreigners in the GSL have been facing recently, I am sure many people wish that Stephano could be the foreign hero of the GSL. He is one of the few people who have not been utterly wrecked in the short time he was in Korea (2-2 in Blizzcup against the World's best).

Which zerg was it ? I saw Stephano deal with such an army with ease. It depends on the player as much as the race I guess. It was shortly after that Stephano said there is nothing a protoss can do against BL + infestors, I think it was on his stream during his stay in Korea.
WP by Stephano in this ZvZ, nice micro, but I felt Bly could have played better (1 baneling with the 2 queens for example), and could have made the games much closer, and maybe take a win on the 2nd one. It felt like he gave up mentally beforehand with all this shit chat and stuff :s
When Grubby decided to get HT/DTs/charge/armor upgrades, i knew he would lose. His mothership tech was way to late, his army was kinda small. And HT are a joke against BL/infestor.
Stephano - Polt should be a good match-up. I believe they played a BO5 last month in the Eizo Final and Stephano took it 3-2. In Dec they met in MSI Pro Cup #5 and Polt took it 2-1. So it is 4-4 between these players in the last 2 months. Grubby avoided Stephano this time thanks to Bly.
Nobody know when he play. It is up to the matches before him. Yesterday , I think Polt match was after one hour or so, 21:00. Thorzain is in the same position as Polt so earliest 21:00.
However, if they decide to play the other four matches first it could begin at 23:00 or so.
Having trouble finding who would have vod of Thorzain's games. Anyone able to help? I understand they might not be up yet, but I don't even know where they would be hosted.
Adels decision making is making me facepalm atm. No forge (no cannons or upgrades), no tech, bad production, and building 4 probes on? 70+ probes on three bases.
Nerchio a bit on the edge ! Going 6 pool, failing and raging...He didn't play very well and should examine Stephano's builds ! WP Adel, nice micro on the last one, better than usual.

Then how comes he managed to lose, heh It's actually wrong, Adel has various openings, but it's true that against zerg that plays a certain style he will do a 2 bases push at some point to do a lot of damage. Not that surprising, it's the only way to win against zerg for protoss it seems...
Very intense game. I like Stephano can handle a game when he forced to play with equal bases. A lot of zergs would naturally assume that they are far behind in that scenario.
He showed too many zerglings in the middle of the map so the hellions went back. If they would be out of position Stephano would have made way more damage.

He has no reason to go gas units. Stephanos all in failed pretty hard and could just go for a huge counter instead. Anyhow 3'rd MSI cup finals in a row for polt(Posible third rematch betwen him and thorzain again as well)
Polt is 6-1 vs. Stephano, and have now eliminated him from two separate tournaments.
I wonder if Stephano will start taking ZvT more seriously now. His opinion a week or two ago was still that he's not practicing ZvT that much because he doesn't like it, but with Polt playing in every EU tournament these days it can't be good for Stephano's bank to not work on this MU.
1-2 MSI Cup #5 3-2 Eizo Cup #2 1-4 Assembly Winter 2012 0-2 MSI Cup #7
5-10 total. It's not like losing to Polt means Stephano's ZvT is weak. Polt still has MMA's number and MMA is one of the best TvT players in the world. This happens all the time: Shine vs Bisu, Shuttle vs Flash last year, Cloud vs Goody.

His ZvT isnt bad he did 3-0 puma like less then a week ago and the same Puma 3-0 Idra last time they meet. And everyone says Idra´s ZvT is godlike. I think it has alot todo with styles. Just like Polt beat MMA everytime they meet he seems to have Stephanos numbers also.
Game 1 was amasing and it was incredible high skill lvl by both players i was so sure Stephano was dead at the start but some amasing defence saved him.
As a Stephano fan I think we just need to avoid him abit until Stephano learns how to deal with polt style.

Idras ZvT is not godlike, then he wouldnt be manhandled by taeja and Alive like he did. Puma is a bit of a hit and miss TvZ wise. But Stephano still have very good ZvT compaired to foreigners. I just belive its very hard to practice a matchup when foreign terrans just seems weaker than koreans at TvZ. So finding players to play against can be very hard

Overall Stephano is 5-10 vs Polt. And at Assembly every game was very close, Stephano lead in several games, despite the 1-4. But I agree, its obv ZvT is his weakest MU and he should train it. Problem is that korean terrans are way better than foreign terrans (doesnt apply to other races so much).
No, I don't think it shows that his ZvT is weak. But the thing with professional SC 2 is that if there's one person or MU that you have a hard time beating, then your tournament results will suffer disproportionately even if you're awesome at everything else.
Take Grubby, for example. He's been eliminated more times by Stephano than one wants to count. Without Stephano Grubby could have made it to many more finals and gotten more wins, at which point his career would skyrocket and he'd be much more successful than he is now.
MKP is another example. His TvMVP has cost him a lot of wins and a lot of money. This MLG, if MVP wasn't wrist injured, he could've done the same thing.
A lot of foreigner pros, I think, have this problem, in the sense that they can beat Koreans but not all of them, and those that they cannot beat invariably cost them their tournament wins, leading to the impression that foreigners suck because they can't win tournaments.
If Stephano falls into that boat then it's going to be hard to make a stand out performance. His record before these two tournaments vs. Polt were catapulting him to the top of the world. Now I think the hype is dying down and the going in any tournament Polt enters will be tough.

On first map (taldarim) polt went for helion marauder push, which stephano barely held (lost hatch) and then it went to late game but with equal bases and polts' crazy macro he was able to trade with stephano very well and finally beat his ultra ling infestor compostion with tanks and marines
On shattered stephano tried baneling bust and it failed hard against polts marines and helions. Stephano stayed in game for a little longer but it was basically over right there.

Polt moved his factory into turret range. While the turrets were killing the factory, Polt doom dropped and killed everything in Thorzain's main. Due to the immobile army, Thorzain tried to move back up to kill the drop, but Polt moved in with the rest of his bio force and destroyed everything.

Genius move, that's really cool, thanks. Ah, Thorzain, your were playing really nicely in the mid game, but converting an advantage with mech is tricky. GJ, on to the next one.
Thorzain played better early game but worse the late game positional play, which usually is his forte against non-koreans. He could use some korean practice.
Polt waiting for the one window of opportunity, great play. That is the most disheartening thing for me to watch, see the foreigner win g1 and then lose all the subsequent ones. Often just shows the power of adaption by the korean gosus. GGs by both players, next time Thorzain!!!!
