TSL. What a surprise


I wasn't given my own Team Polt icon, so I'll go with Polt/Shine/and the rest. Too bad I can't have KT and TSL. Oh well.


Oooooh player icons would be cool


That's what your sig is for Although I agree that Fionn should have a "team Polt" icon and you should always have a raven icon.

Honestly, an organisation with one player can hardly be called a team, so they shouldn´t have an icon.
Makes me feel bad for MC


You could choose IM, he's going to be playing for them this season.

Stephano is great but still, these games shouldnt work like this, he can just throw away stuff all the time and the momemnt squirtle misses 1 ff hes dead while stephano is hardly doing anything (not hating, I just dont think it matters if he micros or not).

What actually impresses me is that he found this buildorder and perfected it to this level, it makes protoss 2 base allins look silly and crushed 3rds, dunno how he even drops games with this

Tbf there is almost nothing to micro if you play Zerg. I have never seen amazing Zerg micro like you see amazing Terran micro and, a little rarer, impressive Protoss micro. The design of the game and its focus on burst damage makes microing worth almost too much effort to bother with if you play Zerg. You basically get 2-3 control groups up and a-move them through different avenues and occasionally focus-fire if you have the APM to spare.

Not hatin', just pointing out that not even NesTea or DRG can make Zerg micro look good.

........... WHY IS MY WMF ICON HERE?


I'm a P and I think you are wrong. Others pointed some of the ways Z micro, but even moving roaches closer to Stalker/sentry, stutter stepping with them to get more to attack, finding holes in defense etc. We saw all of it that game, stephano microed plenty. With a moved he woulda lost, u saw him micro small groups of roaches all the time to get the win

It's probably 'cause I play more War3 and watch more War3 than SC2 (even now) so my idea of "things that can be microed" is a little different and more specific. I'll just say that sitting down and listing out all the micro Grubby did as an Orc player and comparing it to the list of micro he does as a Protoss player is ... a little depressing. The War3 list is about 3x longer, even if you just list the very basics of Orc micro without taking into account all the other things Grubby did right.

He is just French.

lol, Stephano is one of my fav players. By "French", I mean French people are generally more confident and honest. Some people will mistake that for arrogance alas.

pretty sure french people are cowardly and prone to retreats/surrender.

Stephano positions, engages, and compositions better than other NA/EU Zergs, all the while macroing to the same standard. His micro used to be better too but a lot of NA/EU Zergs have picked up on it; they haven't picked up on the other things. That's what allows him to take wins that they're not able to. His timings and decision making used to be awesome, but against tip top Koreans it's getting harder and harder because they've figured out his style and tries to hard counter him with their builds.

Stephano is adapting to them, but adaptation is in hindsight - each time he plays top Korean Protoss players he has to face new strategies and timings. His ZvT is slowly overtaking his ZvP because top Korean Terrans haven't started to pay attention to him because his ling infestor style was figured out by MMA and MKP, and then they stopped analyzing him and he started having great results with his new roach style.

If Bomber plays like he did against Squirtle, this'll be a real short series.

However, you can't give MC any wiggle room, or he will kick you into next week.

I guess he just knows that he's a very very good player?
He says "gratz" instead of "gg" because he thinks a player that defeats him should be congratulated


Wow really? What an ass if that's true


Chill man. Pro-gamers say things tongue in cheek all the time.

He respect any opponent, and this is how he got so good.... He is far from being arrogant, he just knows he can beat some f the best player in the world.
He NEVER complains about imbalance unlike most SC2 pgms ... Why won't you like him ? Because he beats your favorite players ? Because his hair reminds you of Marley's one ?


He wrote "LOL" in chat while playing against Kas, one of the nicest pros and a very skilled player, while playing a finals match against him on Daybreak. A heavily Zerg favored map. How can you troll your way out of this one?

I have seen Kas write "LOL" in tournaments against Stephano as well. Especially when he was doing his mass ling build

For all we know, it's an inside joke. Seriously, some people are just looking for drama. The pros themselves probably harbor no ill feelings towards one another.
