Stephano never had to fight that army. Polt wasn't really rushing to attack and didn't push his lead. If he had waited, like he had the past few games, he would have had the late game advantage. He misread how many marines Polt had.
he didn't know how many rines polt had because polt kept them at his third

Unless you find it more entertaining to watch a 6 minute 2rax game over a 35 minute actionpacked game, in which case you probably represent like 1‰ of the people watching sc2.
Why should I be happy that the games are "entertaining"? When you're a fan of a team or player you want them to win. I wouldn't care that the Knicks were playing a Showtime offense if they kept losing.

he was pretty aggressive in that last game, stephano has great defense
that hellion/rauder versus roach/ling was pretty intense

Stephano reminds me of Nestea in how impossible it is to kill him.
No other zergs I know of persevere so well. I would say they are different though. Nestea has different strats, stephano typically sticks to one strat. Though I would say their endurance is amazing. Ican never sit through a game longer then 30 mins. And that is blizzard time.
NesTea is better early/mid game, Stephano is better late game. Their recent swings in results are partially due to games lasting longer.

Sneaky sneaky Polt was retreating, Stephano smelled blood but it backfired.
I am surprised not more liltlle mistakes slip in. These guys have been battling for 2 days.

Omg, if this goes to another best of 5, I'm gonna have to sleep before then T_T.

Is this the best fucking final ever breathtaking.

Yes, terrans just whine instead of trying, nothing to do with the fact that you gotta have one of the best micros in the world to pull the stuff Polt does while to use fungal, well, everybody fungals in the same way, joegold, jackdiamond and Stephano.

Polt is only aggressive early game, then he turtles up until he's dead.

Yea even fooled me. I thought he had a couple of marines scattered into a mostly hellion tank marauder army so I figured Polt had pretty much no way to kill brood lords. He had way more marines than I expected to see

For some people, the action itself is the important part. For others, only the results.
Strange, how people can have differing opinions.

LOL last 7 comments "once broods are out stephano wins", then Polt wins lmao :D i guess we all forgot that there wasnt enough infester support ^_^ I guess no one counted on Stephano making a clear mistake, like getting units drawn into siege tank fire and then commiting his entire army into a fight he never had to take. Realise your past comments were all about zerg being op. Why aren't you banned yet??
why would you bother to look at someones post history?
forum heroes abound in here

Stephano was behind that game all game long. Polt had less SCVs, you say? Guess what - Terran has mules, and he had three orbitals and the means to take a fourth via a PF.

But joegold and jackdiamond don't hold those hellion/marauder pushes.
I don't get it. When I get faced against helion/marauder I just can't outproduce the Terran.
