nothing could be done against those blink stalkers without infestors...those blinks were just....dear god


Maybe some Hydra though, the one time IdrA doesnt get his 60 drones and gets his Hydra Roach it hurts him! Hydra the only thing to kill Blink Stalkers.

going hydras is really frustrating/bad imo. i'm by no means a good zerg but as soon as you're off creep, your hydra investment is useless unless you have such a HUGE advantage that you can walk to his base and it doesn't even matter... which would require some serious mistakes on the P's part.

although maybe its more of a defensive opener, i guess.


Yes ofc they are bad off creep, but like you say for a Defenders advantage being on creep anyway its not entirely that bad, plus Darkforce beat real with 2x Roach Hydra timings. I do think there the only way to beat mass stalkers though.


Exactly, iv seen good korean zergs destroy that immortal/gateway push with hydra/ling and couple spines

its all about knowing when to engage and flanking with lings so toss cant run from hydra dps


Xigua destroyed it against Killer without using Hydras. He forced a few FF's and he threw spines. People are forgetting how late Idra's roach warren was. He had slow roaches against Immortal/stalker/sentry. Even if Feast didnt have those two immortals, i dont think Idra was going to hold it.

yay, Feast, well played Sir.

Grubby mentorship pays off :D


Yeaaaaaaaaah right. The fact that Idra does not bother to l2p by watching some DRG/Stephano vods pays off.
The way that guy thinks is beyond me. Watch how they who manage to do it do it, then do it yourself.

And why must Grubby be in everything? Can someone explain why this guy is so important? Just a mediocre attention seeking ex wc3 pro.

Grubby is one of the most humble and nice players in all of esports, really not cool to say things like that about him. He isn't attention-seeking and he works hard -- he's not the best yet, but you don't become a WC3 legend without having sick potential. I have faith that he'll continue to improve.

Try to watch Stephano vs toss and your mood will be way better


But all the tosses will want to hang themselves.

How does stephano typically play ZvP?


He max at 11min and are immune to 2 base timing attacks



Real with that mothership all in could have won if it was executed by MC.

His vP doesn't make any sense, he just mass roaches basically but holds every all-in every game.

It's his superior game sense and strong mechanics.

I'm not going to lie, but I don't think Stephano's mechanics are that much better than any other top tier foreigner. For some reason he just holds shit off though.

I downloaded the Polt/Stephano replays from Assembly. Stephano has stupidly fast APM, way faster than Polt.

That Titan vs. Stephano game was like Stephano's first ZvP loss in forever.

except if u count all the times he lost vs MC. unless u mean just foreigners, but then who cares lol.

He was wasted in his games against MC (in HSC4) and did a all-in on Dual Sight in the Blizzard Cup. I hardly call that a good argument.

Smells like excuses.

It's an explanation. Plus MC is a special protoss, a very good one. No shame in losing to him. You, and some others spend their free time to bash Stephano in every thread and that's fine. Just stop doing it when he isn't playing that makes you look bad. And by bad I meant something else that manners forbid me to say.

he has his build down to a science and any early aggression he is completely economical at dealing with, he never misses an inject or gets supply capped, in g3 idra had to panic build 5 overlords, you dont see stephano doing this in tourneys, stephano has better mechanics and reading of the game


Hey hey, at battle of berlin, stephano got hard supply blocked twice against Goody and lost both of those games. In one of those games he was blocked at 128/128 and made 11 overlords at the same time right as goody was pushing.

never is too strong a word
