That was cool to see stephano vs a non regular build.
He deat with that really well, doing mass towers and not building spire until he knew it would be enough

Well they were nice showmatches which showcased most of the units. But Stephano's play is really on a whole other level (Code S) WhiteRa knows and went for entertaining play (:

making a foreigner showmatch with stephano as part of it is doomed to be 1 sided, unless its maybe huk or naniwa :/

anyway was a pleasure to watch

It was a showmatch with a lot of cash, but still a showmatch! Great to see the crazyness that is Airtoss vs Air zerg.

It's always sad to see whitera lose like this after flying around the world. He keeps doing the same wonky strat every game, if he just played standard he'd probably do better.

Stephano is the most hyped foreigner atm, and White-Ra one of the most popular SC2 players, if not the most popular because of his kindness and his special tactics. Of course Stephano vs Naniwa or a strong Korean would have been more entertaining, but there is some logic behind the fanbase choice


30K people tuned in. I'd say they made a good decision although I'm certain they'll be extremely disappointed to hear that you would have rather have seen Spanishiwa v Incontrol; had they known that in advance, they probably would have scrapped this series and given Incontrol and Spanishiwa the chance to show off their mid-level NA GM skills.


Edit: Meant to reply to Soma.bokforlag. Sorry.
To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

Sound proof headphones. Didn't see what they were wearing, but typically they'll play white-noise in the outers, game sounds in the inners. You just can't hear other shit at all.

White Ra always has so much to say! <3

it's not "derp sound proof headphones", these are ear defenders, made for people working near planes only hear a smooth breeze when a plane take off with its 150db of noises

Why are they running commercials right after the last games? It ruins the moment, IGN, IEM and MLG should learn from the korean tournaments
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
