I wouldnt bet on that, latest I remember from Stephano he lost 2-1 to Inori.

Was wondering this myself, some of those songs they played at the end were fantastic.

Thorzain beats Polt for DH and DRG beats MKP for MLG, what a great day.
|
So, here's a topic that might be painful: What do you think about TvT against Korean players?
Pretty well actually. I have some new things up my sleeves that I think might work very well.
I'm not gonna lie, the numbers at least, aren’t that pretty.
Numbers speak about the past, not the present.

Don't think so, but off the top of my mind:
Pendulum - The Island
Avicii - Levels
Avicii - Bromance
Royksopp - Eple
Alesso & Sebastian Ingrosso - Calling (lose my mind)
Nause - Made Of¨
Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound
Justice - D.A.N.C.E
Some Madeon tune.
Faithless - Insomnia
darude - sandstorm
The Prodigy - Breathe

Loved InControl's work as a caster and interviewer/host. The guy is just without equal when it comes to these things, most entertaining off-game content in all of SC2's tournament life. Blatant nerd with social skills and charisma = unbeatable combination for these purposes
The tournament itself showed that even if (or maybe because?) the top-top-tier of players is playing elsewhere, amazing matches can be had and unestablished caster duos can shine as well. Well done Apollo, Wolf, InControl.
Enjoyed every minute of this, aside from the disappointment about some of my favorite players getting knocked out of the tournament. Thanks Dreamhack, you were a pleasant companion throughout the weekend.

One of best tournaments. Great production, players, MUSIC, and streams were great (some lags but not big). Free HD. That's what it should look like!

No one wins 100% of there matchup and if you got a bad day you lose. Stephano wins 92% in ZvP so 10% of his matches he will still lose. Trust me Code S with all these protoss players are like heaven for Stephano

That's cute. He wins 72% of foreign ZvP. Sure Stephano is good but let him play some of the Korean PvZ gods first before you think he'll win anything. I give him a 30% chance against somebody like Hero.

Which is just about one series at Blizzard Cup where Hero notably played the worst starcraft of his career.
