"Stephano has won 100% of his last 10 ZvP tournament series"

Cool, I wouldn't want to be a toss and have to play vs stephano.

In this case: MC was too aggressive. He kept pushing out when he should have sat back and maxed. 3 base toss v 3 base zerg is a bad situation for the zerg.

MC pushed out with 147 supply against 200.

He was way ahead even before that. But I was pointing more to how Stephano just keeps crushing top Protoss after Protoss like it's nothing.

He thinks that ZvP is imbalanced in favor of Zerg. He even said P might need a buff.

Maybe if this were a "premier" league. This is an invitational.

still won't stop these threads from being hilarious if stephano beats MC and squirtle. There are already plenty of arguments on the level of Stephano's zvp between fans and haters so this will just probably throw fuel on the fire



But imagine if he loses to Squirtle!!

"SEE HE COULDN'T EVEN BEAT THE HIGHEST ELO IN THE WORLD HE WOULD SUCK SO BAD AT GSL LOLLLL"

Although I believe in a GSL style tournament he wouldn't do nearly as well, the fact remains he as pretty much solidified himself as the best sc2 player outside of Korea....

It was never 3o3, stephano had hive, he just did not morph the greater spire (he had 2 spires besides) to be able to counter/reinforce, he also had the mineral available to do a spine wall in case MC wanted to delay the push to reach 200, in which case stephano would have had the time to get the BL infestor and MC was very far from the vortex archon toilet.

Pretty funny how every protoss keeps bringing this up. You should mention too, how every terran say protoss is imbalanced yet have no problems against zerg

I'm equally amazed that Stephano (and to a degree DRG) stomp Protoss again and again, and other Zergs just don't.


Stephano doesn't stomp Korean Protoss though. He does well against them sure but he doesn't just stomp them 80% win rate style.

Historically maybe not, and I know Squirtle apparently had a ridiculous record against him on the Korean ladder, but Stephano hasn't played all that many and his previous Korean nemesis MC has got dismantled the last 3 sets

Also where's this 16-0 streak coming from in Stephano's ZvP that people are referencing? Didn't Hero beat him pretty recently in a teamleague Bo3?

Most of those games were against foreign Protoss though.
