Love the replay analysis. Shows that a brain fart by Stephano lost him the game.

Yeah, it's hard to notice when you aren't analyzing the game yourself, but Apollo is making terrible calls this series. I understand why, though - these games are not going the way TvZ normally goes. This last game, for example, Stephano defended everything from Bomber fine, but then he lost five infestors in the middle of the map attacking into one of Bomber's armies. While he did destroy the tanks in that army, it left Bomber with a lot of marines and a supply lead. Then, because Stephano didn't make a lot of additional infestors he ended up having less infestors than he needed to crush the second attack.

Apollo didn't see that during the game, I think - the infestor count was way too low to support the brood count and rushing to broods is not a great idea against Terran in general and Bomber in particular because he plays marine heavy. Stephano was better off doing a later Hive transition and going heavy on the infestor count. Zerg is never ahead of Terran when the advantage they have amounts to having a couple of brood lords and being 30 supply down.

Not in the slightest.


3/3 almost done for Stephano and 3/3 just started for Bomber

4 bases vs 3 bases

4 Broodlords vs 1 starport and 0 vikings

Stephano was ahead all game long and engaged 20 seconds before the 3/3 completed, while pulling back 90 cracklings twice and engaging when they were 40 and not 90 anymore

He lost a game to his opponent changing styles, he was even in upgrades and ahead in supply all game but got manhandled because mutas picked off so many tanks.

He lost a game to painfully mismicroing a push which should have won the game, probably figured it was an easy win in their positions.

He was ahead in supply ALL FUCKING GAME game 5, after delaying his expo when he opponent actually opened 3 hatch. He outmacro'd Stephano, and everyone in chat just spams that he lost because of 1 bad engagement. Just because someone says it doesn't mean it's true.

Stephano was ahead all game long and engaged 20 seconds before the 3/3 completed, while pulling back 90 cracklings twice due to hesitation and engaging when they were 40 and not 90 anymore.


Bomber was already retreating, Stephano misread the situation and chased him with the Infestors too far away for the fungals

Bomber had a massive amount of marines though, army supply advantage was >50 before the engagement started

Stephano had a slight edge in upgs and an edge in tech BUT Bomber was way ahead in army supply.

Yo dawg, I herd having 80% of your army supply in 2/2 marines means you're ahead when you're against an army of cracklings, infestors and broodlords.

Oh wait, it doesn't.
