Lol the kpop was pathetic... I would've given them some respect for actually singing but this was just poor dancing from the 90s... I know that the US loves to endorse retarded styles of music (gogo RnB) but seriously kpop should really stay in korea ;o. Although you are right, it made me laugh- at them. ;O.
One of the dancers had a slight weight problem lawl.

That aside, nice games. Nice publicity stunt by stephano, although it's never going to shut up the stephano USA UAS chants. (I'm always confused about this- there are some decent american players for you guys to cheer for why attempt to adopt a frenchman?). Reasonably happy about a foreigner taking the gold.

And Bitterdam was great as per ussual.

I hope Polt will use Ghost next time they meet.
Polt + MVP ghost control = Best player on earth?

Mvp doesn't use ghost anymore in late game TvZ because they are shit now (except vs infestors but they are expensive so probably not cost effective enough to build them for that purpose only), see Mvp vs Symbol from Iron Squid.
But I agree, Polt's ghost use in TvP is not the best we have seen he would be really scary in TvP if he had a Byun-like ghost control / usage, I don't think it matters in TvZ though.
I'm both happy that Stephano won another event and sad that Polt lost.
Gimme terran a lategame capable army blizzard if now even Polt loses to Stephano :/

If you honestly believe everyone chanting USA is actually from the US you are pretty naive. =P
This meme will probably never die though sadly, i do agree. TT

Stephano said in SotG that ghosts are shit and wouldnt have saved Polt. You wont get emps or snipes on the infestors because of brood lord range.

The originals are from the US, the rest is just us eu trolls helping them out, myself included on rare occasion. But it's kind of getting old, almost as bad as the Day9 is dead stuff and countless other common troll comments ;o.

I don´t understand you people really.

I demand a evidence in form of video or photo where you show 40k people how you look and perform something to entertain people.

That was the most enjoyable tourney I've seen in a very very long time. I guess the key is always just invite Stephano and Polt just to have them give us a good final.

Rotti showed us how to react.

Remember when people said that the Koreans will just figure Stephano out after he did good at IPL3?

Ya right :D.

The game on Cloud Kingdom in WB finals was complete (blind?) counter from Stephano, It seemed like Stephano knew what Polt was doing exatcly. So one sided.

I wonder if he ever got a OV into his base, i dont remember them showing it.


Don't see where stephano "blindcountered" polt, he just did his standard macro opening and reacted to the banshee by making spore crawlers. I will steal stephano build so badly btw, it's the same build I'm doing in ZvT, but better :D

i would love to see stephano in a tournament like GSL instead of a weekend LAN. want to see people play him who have prepared specifically to counter him, and see how he does then.

Stephano is the perfect weekend tournament player because he says that he plays completely on feel so I wouldnt expect him to do well in a format like GSL were he has to prepare for a certain style and others can prepare for him. His strength lies in his ability to make on the fly decision like the in the game against grubby when grubby blocked both of stephano's expos with pylons and Stephano made 8 lings and sent them directly to grubbys main and won the game outright.


after he did that in game 2 against Grubby, he said on Twitter that "you won't open twice with that build against me" , so he planned to do that in game 2 after he saw Grubby opening the same not really on the fly


This prove the "weekend tournament player" point. It is not a bo1 tournament. If it was GSL or something like that, Grubby would have prepared a different strategy for each map and Stephano could'nt have been able to react in game 2. But this time Grubby apparently used the same strategy twice and stephano adapted.

You make it sound like Stephano is cheating or something ... He techs late game every game.

First, do i say i speak for anyone else then myself? And second, Rotterdam showed how to react? By trolling the shit out of them with that little weird dance. It was awkward as hell and kinda sad to look at the hole act, just see how the public reacted (well they didn't i guess)
And why would i care how Rotterdam reacts? Do i need to react in the same way as he? What does his reaction has to do with my opinion?

It was a horrible act, horrible dancers, horrible choreography and yes it made me happy cause i literally fell out of my chair from laughing. It was like looking at another sad horrible act on those crappy talent shows and your reaction is on the same level.

Stephano just doesn't lose to Grubby. Check their head-to-head record for fun.
