What happened to the Puma vs Nightend games?

They will probably be played next week, i assume they were not played today because Puma has no other game today.

It really seems like Stephano is just fucking with Haypro in this game.


Yeah I was wondering if it was a bit of trolling on his part.


He played like this against violet at redbull, and I saw him doing it a bunch on ladder while he streamed. It blows my mind that it even works. I do kind of like the roach ling way better than trying to stay on pure ling until ultralisk, but still weird.


He wins because his mechanics outclasses a lot of NA/EU players. His APM in the last Red Bull tournament averaged 377, and that is not spam - he had higher EPM than the Korean pros in that tournament. DRG is faster still, I think, but Stephano is closing the gap.

With this speed and his precision, there's a lot he is able to get away with vs. NA/EU players. He is able to fight Haypro's baneling roach army because he is fast enough to separate lings to take out multiple banelings simultaneously while running the rest around. This style that he's playing is not doable without high APM and Stephano is abusing that to make it work.

The problem, though, is that because his mechanics outclass NA/EU players he doesn't see the weaknesses in his build playing vs. them, and that comes back to him when he plays in big tournaments against top Korean pros.

Bravo! Beautiful play, really emulating the multitasking and aggression of TvZ greats like MMA and MKP.

Cloud demolished Zenio there, hit him at timings when he was transitioning. Great games by Cloud, and this is great for Stephano because he is now in second place and has a decent shot at staying there against NightEnd.

Yeah, Cloud's tweet was definitely a spoiler.

Cloud absolutely crushed Zenio this series. He simply played better on basically every aspect.

Puma is qualified for the finals. He will at worst be 6-2, +7, so only Stephano can pass him.

Zenio's ZvT has always been mediocre and his big function for Liquid in GSTL is his ZvP (his ZvZ as well obviously, but they've got two other excellent options vs Z in Hero and Taeja). Liquid has other vT options with Taeja's TvT, Hero's PvT and possible snipes from TLO.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Great outro music. I remember they gave out a soundcloud page several weeks ago. Does anyone have a link to that?

I wouldn't even say it's mediocre, it's almost as bad as JYPvT. It's just painful to watch. But yeah, Zenio has some pretty strong ZvP and decent ZvZ. A lot of players tend to always have that one MU that makes them look kinda bleh at time.

The thing about Zenio's ZvT is it seems to be almost purely an issue of understanding the matchup, not mechanics or execution. It's entirely possible I'm just too bad to see the underlying reasoning behind a lot of Zenio's decisions ZvT, but from what I can tell, his ZvT play completely lacks direction and logic. Pretty much the exact opposite of Ret's ZvT.
