You don't know what cheese is, do you? 10 pool shouldn't win unless the opponent is mega greedy, but if done right it's guaranteed to do enough damage to keep the game equal. Nestea 10 pools in z v z on a regular basis against anyone he knows plays greedy. | ||

EDIT: Lol at so much people voting on Stephano winning. He's obviously gonna place good (he already has), but win? No. That being said, I've been a hardcore Stephano fan ever since before Assembly Summer, his breakthrough tournament. | ||

That said, I wouldn't bet on any player, basically each of them is able to take it home, with the possible exception of Sase & Taeja. | ||

He played really good in the first 2 matches abusing stephano with mutas since he knew steph never goes for mutas or hidras but that 3rd match 10pool was patethic. I agree that it wasn't a good decision although I disagree that 10 pool is that rare. The risk with 10 pool is that if your opponent goes 14-14 or 15 pool, 15 hatch (which Stephano did in MLG against) and your opponent has OK micro, you're way behind. Because he's going to hold off the early pressure with minimal losses. Violet's decision in this game was bad for a couple reasons: 1. He knows Stephano rarely goes early pools (8-10) but does mix in a fair amount of pool first builds. As stated above, against a pool first build, you're in trouble if you go 10 pool. 2. Stephano's unit control for Zerg is pretty much as good as it gets, which makes it silly to get into any early game micro wars with him. Unless he's been drinking, you're unlikely to get the better of him. (On Ohana, Stephano took out 6 or so banelings with just lings and then forced the cancel. That was one of the best micro displays for Zerg i've ever seen.) That said, Violet killed 5 drones with his opening and was able to hold the drone lead for basically the entire game. Stephano simply outplayed him in the mid-game. Violet kept going mutas because he was successful at MLG. Prior to MLG I believe Stephano was 5-2 against Violet. If they're both on their game, Stephano should win. | ||
