Shut up with the MMA praise regarding his 'ownage expo sniping'. Do you know how hard it is to defend multiple expansions as Zerg on this map? MMA is a good player and is playing awesome. But the key factor for this match is this terrible map design. Why can't you just enjoy the games without bitching about balance? Fuck off with this shit, mma outplayed stephano.
You and the poster above you need to learn to read properly. I wrote that MMA is a good player and is playing awesome. I just feel that you give him too much credit on the specific point of expo sniping (everything else might be well reasoned). That's because expo sniping is incredibly easy on this map. Let him do it again on another map in the same fashion and I will agree with your praising.

Zerg need scourges back!!!

MKP eliminated lol
There is no very good terran against Protoss really... it s the worst match up for all terran in general. People have to know that.
MKP's best matchup is TvP... Squirtle is just really good at 2-base colossus play

We haven't even seen MMA's TvP in months. It could have improved alot.
Also, MKP prides himself in bio while he's crap at everything else compared to MMA.
MKP's mech is garbage

that was AMAZING by MMA
makes you wonder why he struggles vs. Protoss & Terran (compared to vs. Zerg)
anyone knows?
He doesn't have amazing control against Protoss.

Ah well, falling so closely to the best ZvZ player and to the best TvZ player, no real shame in that. He didn't have much luck with the bracket after all 
As much as I love Stephano, I have to agree with the people saying that MMA had the entire game. There's a reason people don't go broodlords--because then you just get dropped / expos sniped to hell as you're moving out. CK is a horrible map for ultras, so it was kind of forced, but MMA was in control from the early-mid game to the very end; his economy was never really threatened, he was constantly maxed...

I insist... whenever stephano plays.. win or lose.. LR threads reach the darkest reaches of humanity.
It's even worse than when Idra plays LR threads are mostly bad and you are right they are getting worse when stephano plays. I don't know why I can't keep away from them, I think I'm addicted to LR threads :/
They do have that effect on people

Stephano badly needed better map vision and I think burrow in that game would have helped enormouslyas he could put a few zerglings round the map for vision. MMA after not getting much from drops early on started to brilliantly use the channels on Cloud kingdom and only after having that work went back to drops....great game though

I'm a protoss player, generally I'll avoid TvZ but MMA is just so awe-inspiring to watch, it's truly amazing. you should watch TvZ more its the best matchup ever Seriously, I'll probably get alot of hate for this, but (top level) TvZ in SC2 I find more entertaining to watch than anything else in esports, even BW. Other matchups in SC2 may have problems, but anyone who doesn't watch good players play TvZ is massively missing out.
Amen
It's my favorite matchup to watch as well. By far.

Without a doubt, MMAvZ is the highest level play we have witnessed in SC2

If Stephano played in the GSL, he'd just be brutalized by Korean terrans. are you trying to say that every code S terran is equal to mma in terms of TvZ skill? not sure if troll Polt is not good at TvZ by GSL standards, and Stephano loses to him. MMA just destroyed him, MKP destroyed him. There are more Terrans in Code S than any other race. Do you think he'd stand a chance, like some of his fans think, at making deep runs? MKP did not destroy Stephano lol...Stephano made 1 mistake in game 2 and lost. He just straight up lost game 3. He beat him game one.... MMA is the best TvZer in the world so Stephano lasting that long against such FUCKING INSANELY AWESOME DROP PLAY and MULTITASKING with minimal practice, means Stephano COULD be very successful in the GSL with more practice.
The ability to practice is a skill in itself. You don't just decide to practice more.

Isn't it a moot point to think Stephano would do well in GSL? He clearly is not going for whatever reason. He won't succeed in GSL because he won't try.
so why should he if he doesnt owe them he will get flamed and there is no value for him in playing there much more profitbal to play amjor foreign events
