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


Stop being dumb, please.
Reading stuff like this is just painful.


stephano knows he's better, this won't even be close if it were a real tournament

I dunno pretty obvious that Stephano let White-Ra have that one. I wish people wouldnt do that for the sake of having a 'entertaining showmatch'. You know whats entertaining? When players are playing their best and trying their hardest.

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.



You are delirious if you think Stephano didn't throw that on purpose. Anyone with even a basic understanding of Starcraft and has watched Stephano play before knows that he could have easily ended the game once the third was denied by flooding roaches.

I dont even know what to say about so many people saying he threw on purpose.

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.


Broods auto clump when you move them, probes don't. He just fucked it up. Just accept it, it happens.

QFT! Everyone knows Stephano's specialty is late game zvp and his fight vs the dreaded mothership.

No one said Stephano threw the game but hes trying to show good games not fast wins and White-ra seems to do the same thing.
They both care about the prize but want to show nice games, Stephano wouldnt ask for funny strategies on his twitter if he was serious
