This is ridiculous, of course he is not going to throw away the first game .. if he up 4-0 it could be possible, but right now it's just ridiculous to say that stephano threw away this game. | ||

He does this all the time dragging out ZvP's into Infestor/Brood when he could have won with roaches. He fucked up, accept it. Move on to game 2. | ||

It would probably take a conscious effort not to do it. It would be like suddenly not splitting probes at start or spamming hotkeys. There could be legitimate reasons like jetlag or focusing on doing something fancy, but it was indeed very odd for people who regularly watch his stream and tournament games. | ||

But the effect of a showmatch is probably more like this: Given the choice between two strategies that you feel are about equally effective at winning, you might think, "Well if I'm not sure, let's go with the one that makes for a longer game so there's at least a fun match." | ||
