It wasn't 4gate but it was an all-in.

I wouldn't transition out either if I was pulling that far ahead.

What are you on about? Just because somebody didn't find a game to be mindblowing doesn't mean they have no understanding of the game. The first game wasn't bad, but just because it's long and drawn out doesn't automatically make it a stellar match.

Yes, they're playing at a high level, but watching players posture for 20 minutes with negligible harassment isn't exactly exciting as a viewer.

Not necessarily. The Stalkers are good since if the battles start going poorly, you can really book it before Speed pops. It's a strong pressure, and you're not committed as a Sentry/Zealot attack or even a 2 gas variation.

For those that were thinking it was pressure. No that was all in.
It's a 3 gate because he's makeing almost unanimously stalkers, this is because he saw late/no gas.
This build is all in because the protoss cannot afford 4 gates if he's producing stalkers non - stop. 3 Gates takes care of that.

Nowadays, zergs really rely on those FFE's to go quick 3rd to stream shitloads of roaches to win without any micro. Do something different and it gets really amusing.

hope Stephano makes a few builds to prepare for a bo9 like this, His build is solid, but you can't win all the time with just one build.

People saying that was an awful game???
Really???

lol it was really bad.. endless posturing with no engagement. I hate it when sc2 games play out like this, when there's zero harassment and no splitting of armies, then a 5 second battle to close the 15 minute stalemate.


It probably wasn't the most "entertaining" game for people with low understanding of the game. However, I thougt the game was freaking awesome by mostly watching the production tab. So high level play and awesome game for learning.

Yes I probably just couldn't comprehend what was happening.


if you thought that game was anything below stellar you must have a miniscule knowledge of starcraft...

*sigh* i guess the since BW is dieing sc2 fans can turn on their elitist switch apparently.. you also have no clue what the other players understanding of the game.

Personally it was an avg GM level PvT late game i was watching that i can watch on the live stream tab... I am not saying the game was awful but it certainly wasn't mindblowingly amazing as all these people keep claiming.

In theory yes, but theoretically, no.

Stephano seriously misread that. He thought more zealots were coming, queen/slowling with some spines works against early zealots, but not against stalker pressure. MC saw this mistake and decided to capitalize on it by allining. You can see that by watching the late forward pylon. MC wasn't originally intending to win with that.

Stephano still doesn't know how to handle 3-4 gates off of one base. A lot of Zergs have forgotten how to beat this, but you have to get spines down quickly and get down a roach warren and speed. It's a thin timing back when Protoss were 4-gating during Beta but now the timing is thinner because Protoss have figured out how to micro their stalkers.

That definitely wasn't an all-in. He originally planned to just do pressure, and then he committed more when he saw that he could actually kill Stephano, but if Stephano had ended up holding, MC wouldn't have lost the game (or even been behind, let alone very far behind) because Stephano had lost so much larvae to dead zerglings instead of drones and hypothetical mining time. Stephano had no tech, low drone count, and two bases.
