he did not do this time

which means he wants to give a win to wr

y Stephano, the moneymaker, will risk 4000$ just like that, you are clueless


Exactly. Give some credit to White-Ra. They are going to make it entertaining as in tending towards longer macro games but they are both playing to win no doubt.

If you have Stephano's mentality, you don't consider being down 0-1 to a protoss in a Bo9 a threat.



if you read stephanos twitter he considers this as "just a showmatch" he wants to please the crowd. and a 14 min roach push to win the game is not crowd pleasing. stephano is just toying with whitera and he is gonna get the 4000$ in the end anyway.
as stupid as this sounds

It was too much of a showmatch, if you ask me.

It was an enjoyable display of skill in my opinion ^^
Standard game, calling special tactics for the next couple followed by an epic last game :D

Casting is a little worse then at MLG but man.. the crowd... this hypes up the mood of the tournament so much when you can hear people cheer in the background.

On a side note I really love all the content IPL is creating at the moment. And Doa and Catspajamas are doing a great job casting all that stuff.

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.

People being too generous to Stephano. It's not at all uncommon he's goes into Morrow mode and plays too safe instead of just winning. He made a bad call had crappy control and lost.

Are you serious? Stephano was up 50 supply, white-ra had zero army left, Stephano could and would have ended the game right there in a tournament setting.


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.

Yeah stephano didn't throw this game, he just messed up by not spreading out his BLs.

The strange thing is that he always splits his brood lords. 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.

I don't think either would deliberately play worse in a showmatch.

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."

Those saying white-ra stretched it out. It's very easy to lose a game your winning by attacking into infestor/brood/spine.

I think his plan was to fungal the archons, in order to prevent them from entering the vortex, but it failed, and from then on it was a massacre. I really hope he gets serious from now on and destroy WR. Or else!!!!!!
