Same here, I just want mechanics and control to be more important and actually make a difference if you're competent in those regards.

Really tempted to switch to T at present, just finding them more interesting to play. Polt is a monster to watch, loving these FP views

It works in his favour i think, people never have high expectations of him causing him to upset time and time again.

DJWheat is doing great this tournament! Also, Polt is really good. Like, sick good.

On another note - looking at the bracket, it seems Heart has the easiest run. Discuss!

There is zero measure by which Stephano is better than MC. MC surpasses him in overall results, results in 2012, prize money, head to head record, record vs other top Koreans.

what about hair? I think stephano is ahead in that regard.

MC has the superior clothing though like the murloc suit.


Good point. MC also confronted a pickpocket at ESWC which means he has an advantage over the french.

Well at the very least if stephano tries to pickpocket MC at a fashion contest it's gg no re for stephano.

Stephano 2-0 MC? Sweet. I picked him to win it all. Hopefully he continues to play well.

You'd think that after EVERY FUCKING MLG people would stop thinking its an upset.... W/e, hope he still manages to get pool play for championship

Stephano is 5-10 vs MC. MC is better than him (as evidenced by MC's two major LAN wins this year) but obviously Stephano is no scrub and is capable of beating MC.


The important part here is the reversal in score, it's like the whole Polt vs Stephano story, he used to get crushed by Polt all the time, then he won some, and now he wins most of them.

Stephano lost to MC all the time before, the two latest records are 5-3 for MC and 2-0 for Stephano. Now I still think MC is better overall than Stephano but the rate at which that zerg player adapts and improves is impressive.


MC isn't at all better than stephano. He squeaked out that FC win after Stephano was coming off a 10 day lay off. Stephano is 6-1 against JYP, who is far better at zvp than MC. Stephano is the better player, IMO and this is evidenced by his having a higher Elo in the matchup. Having taken down MC Stephano will trust himself and stomp MC just like all of the other protosses - at least that's what I predict. Go Stephano!


Major LAN wins in 2012 for Stephano - 0
Major LAN wins in 2012 for MC - 2.

MC is the better player.


Major LAN wins in 2012 for Parting - 0

Major LAN wins in 2012 for Thorzain - 1

Thorzain is the better player.


I don't know why I bother talking to such clueless fanboys.

I agree that MC is better than Stephano, but you can't be angry that your terrible metric for player skill is turned against you.


Yes, tournaments won and head to head record is such a poor way to compare players.


H2H record from a year ago, combined with tournament results from just 2012?

Besides the relevance of these stats, it's obvious that you're massaging the stats you're giving to paint Stephano in a worse light. Lifetime results are great for evaluating a player's career but not for how skilled they are right now. Tournament results are heavily dependent on the roll of the dice a lot of the times due to the way brackets are set up. Squirtle has zero LAN wins in 2012, does this make him worse than MC?


Lmao you act as if the H2H record taking from a year ago was what made the H2H record so one-sided.

Blizz cup was just a few months ago, HSC wasn't that long ago, and IPL FC was just a few weeks ago.


He lost 1 game to MC in Blizzard Cup, and 4 in HSC. HSC 3 was one year ago. Counting only the HSC 4 result -> Stephano is 2-3 vs. MC on LANs, 3-5 vs. him online. It's a decent result considering MC's PvZ is enough to 3-0 DRG.

I disagree with every move except for the last one. There's no reason for carriers to be as terrible as they are now, but delaying warpgates solves nothing, chronoboost is fine, delaying forcefields would do nothing and protoss already is the most micro reliant race out there.

According to Blizzard they won't fix the glaring holes in P game design. Nothing on WG, Colossus and FF. Just to hope they revamp them completely or make them so weak they won't be able to stand a chance in pro games. Balance has nothing to do with this spectator-aspect, I just can't stand watching the infamous ball.

He was winning games in Korea (GSTL and ESV) before his NASL breakout and everyone thought it was a matter of moments before he was tearing up the GSL. It was really just comparing the way Polt seems to be fine vs Koreans outside Korea but can't string together wins in it lately though =p

Man, if Inori beats Heart and then beats Stephano I can't wait to see how absurd this thread is going to be.
