Why always with the caster bashing? No one cares about how smart you are and you know more than the casters. Good for you. Tell us something more enlightening or stfu.

No he couldn't. The chokes are much smaller on Daybreak and White Ra had a lot more stuff.

Seriously? Stephano wiped out White-Ra's entire army at the third, chokes didn't matter, all he had to do was flood roaches and he won.


Wrong. Stephano didn't have plus one on his roaches, where as White Ra had plus one, in game 2 White Ra has no ups and Stephano had plus one. White Ra had more stuff because he didn't do a shitty opening, he had more gates too in Game 1. Daybreak is much better to forcefield and create chokes. The reinforce distance is also way longer on Daybreak.

Lots of small differences explain it. Stephano's decision in game 1 was a good one. He killed the third and got a lead, why keep pushing and risk it?

Because that's the only way to play PvZ? You never want to force the game into the mothership stage.

stephanos opening in game 1 was MUCH worse..... 4 zealots and a probe for NOTHING. Stephano did 93 drones and meanwhile killed whiteras third. leavin 2 sentrys and about 6 stalkers alive. imagine those 20+ probes being roaches + zerglings...........

Destructible rocks are very good apparently.

Gateway pressure from low ground for whitera again.

Stephano gets a full scout on WhiteRa, sees cannons.
Zealot pressure is not too successful.

This gateway into nexus build doesn't seem very effective. It just screws up your follow-up so much.

But Stephano does do this, because he wins all the time on hive tech vs Protoss. He just made a mistake in this game and lost all his broods. It's completely normal for Stephano to play mass infestor/brood vs Protoss.

I think DRG would have retreated after he killed the third too, but DRG would have made 30 Mutas instead of hive tech.

Insane risky build from White Ra. No way can you expand on that few units in PvZ.

Time to try something else. Stephano knows exactly how to kill that 3rd base timing.
