No, it's not ironic, unless you didn't pay attention to what he was saying... He didn't say "Protoss absolutely cannot win and I expect to have a 100% win rate against them", he said "Protoss are forced into risky play while Zerg can play much safer". So losing to the King of gimmicky bullshit does nothing to disprove what he said.

your stupid, MC pvz is solid as a rock, and im not commenting on the disprove/prove thing you guys are posting on, but MC metagamed and outplayed Stephano, showing his series and gameplay is better, with hte only real gimick he did was the 3 gate which tricked the zerg who doesnt scout and doesn't get gas


No your stupid.


Haha, posts like this are always ironic.

Ok, I'll bite. I did pay attention to what he said. He has said that Blizzard should fix the matchup because its imbalanced towards zerg. If he proceeds to lose every series against a top Korean protoss, that would be ironic no? We will have to see how the next few ZvP series against top Korean protosses go for him. He is going to Korea soon, so I am sure that we will get to see some amazing ZvP matches. My guess is that its not as imbalanced as Stephano's comments would seem to imply.

MC didn't win this BO9 with gimmicky bullshit. MAYBE you could consider 1 or 2 strategies gimmicky, but come on man. Give credit where credit is due.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would have thought that Stephano had better ZvP than DRG. Stephano is obviously quite good when it comes to taking out certain playstyles, but he cannot adapt easily and has poor game sense. DRG is on another level really.

Well original poster was correct. Also, all I need to do is see a user's origin and see France to know what agenda is.

i agree with above poster that drg prolly has the best zvp in the world.. but i'd have to say stepano is a close 2nd. losing 5-3 to the best pvz'er in the world is no slouch. mc himself has been quoted saying he will not lose to zerg.... ever. only zerg i recall mc losing to is drg himself. and according to mc, best pvt = parting, pvp = huk, pvz = mc.... which i actually agree with 100%.

Crazy that Stephano could win with pure roach/ling like that after the third got sniped. It barely slowed down Stephanos max.

I think this series was good practice for Stephano to see a few of MC's plays. Now that he can recognise them he should be able to cope better. I am talking about Stephano's decision to make 7 drones during MC's attack on Antigua. If he makes units instead it would have really helped him hold off that one base all-in. Also, in the Ohana game, I guess Stephano will know to scout for that pylon that allowed MC to warp in those sentries into Stephano's main after getting high ground vision from the void-ray. Also I guess he knows he should have sniped that nexus after that baneling bust rather than following the probes into the natural. Plus sticking with Mutas for so long against blink stalkers was not such a good idea.

So some valuable lessons to be learnt there. Stephano seemed a lot closer to MC than in their previous meetings. MC is still setting the standard though.

Thank you IPL for organizing this, but please be sure to put all matches such as these on cloaked maps so assholes can't ruin the viewing experience for all of us. This issue is imperative and needs to be implemented ASAP. IPL has been very good in responding to community concerns, and I have high hopes that the necessary changes will be made.

No, he was not correct, he made a mistake that even a non native speaker think is ridiculous while trying to insult me, so I was making fun of him.

As for Stephano he's actually not that popular in France so you're wrong to think that (or you should I say your wrong?).

Also my original point is still correct, Stephano says Zerg is favoured, he never said he would win everything. People who say "lol but he lost one game" are the ones who are ridiculous.

Well it seems Polt is the next opponent. But Losira would be good choice for the following one in my opinion as well.
