Respect for Stephano for playing it out


Yeah. Loved that he kept on fighting.

People just need to stop hating and just enjoy the great show that MMA and Stephano gave us. Even though it was almost certainly over 10 minutes ago.


I agree. Which zerg player stands a chance against MMA? Even DRG, whos is awesome against Terran, gets rolled by him.

No shame on losing to MMA.

stephano had no chance.

this is the reason why he wont go to the GSL.


What the? MMA is probably the only terran currently good enough to beat stephano consistently in TvZ. Polt as well, but stephano vs polt is kinda 50/50.

Also, ZvT isn't his strongest matchups, Stephano way better in ZvP, just listen to how dApollo praises Stephanos ZvP because it's so good.
Hell, it's about time

A foreigner will finish in the top six – 10 to 1


Did you ever imagine this would be the guy bearing your hopes and dreams?
Wax: Tempting, just enough that I'll bet on the foreigners at those odds. Or more accurately, I'll bet on Stephano at those odds. With the chances for a foreigner making it out of the open bracket being ridiculously small, this bet comes down to the players who already have group seeds, with Stephano having by far the best shot.

Stephano will have a tough time against MarineKing, but he'll be favored heavily against White-Ra. Depending on who gets into his group from the open, he could very well make it through. After all, he did happen to go 2-2 in a Blizzard Cup group with MC, DRG, Mvp and HerO, only to be eliminated on tie-breakers (and because MC lost a game against DRG on Crossfire that was totally meaningless to him – let's say NaNiwa's probe rush wasn't the only insensible thing about the Blizzard Cup).

Say Stephano makes it through to the Championship bracket, and faces Polt or aLive as his first opponent. Doesn't he have at worst, a 45% chance against those guys in a series? Stephano alone probably beats 10:1 odds.

Toss in whatever IdrA's chances are (grim, in a group with MMA and Bomber, but he did look good against Mvp and SuperNoVa lately), White-Ra's ability to conjure up incomprehensible wins, and long-shot foreigner chances from the open, and 10 to 1 is looking pretty good.


Guess you guys won the bet, huh?

It's Okay!

Awww. In his defense, MMA's got a bit of a specialty in making his opponents play poorly, his multitasking and harassment is just amazing.

I see IdrA is taking a page or two out of his teammate Incontrol's book while "nothing special Stephano" is placing high in any tournament he enters. Someone has to eat their words.



Don't be ridiculous. Idra retracted what he said about Stephano long ago.


He should never have made statements like that in the first place to be honest. Don't see how he's being ridiculous.

This is the first time I saw MMA BMing someone so hard

Was NOT BM. Kinda surprised that the casters thought it was manner mules, if he was going to do it, he had done it like 5 minutes ago

Errr the whole second part of the game was "GET OUT" bm. Unless you think 5 stacked sensor towers is new metagame.

Not really. He was just straight up outclassed.

Hope he doesnt stop playing SC2. I really wish he would put down some static defense when he plays infestor, ultra and ling style. He got torn apart by drop play

The game was basically over long time ago, both players knew it, MMA just decided to not attack so it looked like he was totally owning Stephano. Pretty BM imo, dont really like it

Meh, MMA is going to die to Squirtle next match and then Nestea is going to win the entire thing because he avoided every single good TvZ in the entire tournament.

I'm not convinced that this new style of TvZ is beatable with the present Zerg meta-game - but we have to wait for another tournament for that.

MMA in trouble now against Squirtle... his bad TvP might catch up to him.

We haven't seen MMA play proper TvP in months. Last time I remember him playing really well against Oz and Puzzle.

You missed where he lost against Choya and Vines in GSTL
