Tell me why don't players like Seth and Idra simply copy his build? It seems really strong. Stephano wins because of crazy good game sense. If the only reason he won is because he had good builds, all zergs would do it. | ||

Worked out pretty well but if they feel like they have something better than I'm all for it. Should be some good games tonight!! He's talking about the Open Bracket. The top 2 from each group still goes to the finals. But the open bracket winners go to the wildcard round where they play against the middle finishers in group play. I like that format better. Don't let an open bracket winner win one weekend online qualifier to bypass everyone who played 9 weeks of group play. | ||

Indeed, he has it all basically. His game sense is impeccable, his macro is superb and he actually micros his units, which zergs don't do nearly enough. | ||

Tell me why don't players like Seth and Idra simply copy his build? It seems really strong. stephano does the same 'build' every game, which is basically an opening from which he reacts very well to the various protoss openings. Stephano is the best because he reads and reacts the best, the challenge of zvp is that if you don't react perfectly to any 2base play you die immediately, and if you overreact to anything you end up maxed on roaches without having a chance to tech to broods. | ||

Foreigners besides Stephano do use his general strategy/build on occasion though, just not as much as he does. It's not hard to max out on Roaches at 12-13 minutes if you aren't pressured much. MC took a risk taking a third off 1 Stargate and 3 Gateways and Sheth just let him take it and hit that Colossus timing that he loves so much. Couple that with really late Broods and over-droning and you just have bad decision-making from Sheth. | ||

I hear ya, but I still think his build is superior to most builds Zergs seem to use. I don't watch SC2 nearly enough to speak anything more than my own opinion, but this build seems really robust and seems to give the zerg control and the ability to dictate the game. | ||

Wow, MC is playing sort of weird, lost a ton of stuff early game for almost no reason :< that random sentry attack was okay I guess? Lost soooo much gas but brought the drone count down quite a bit. | ||

Lost soooo much gas but brought the drone count down quite a bit. I think he also forced sheth to cancel his third. | ||

Sheth 0-2 MC Puzzle 2-0 TargA Polt 2-0 WhiteRa qxc 1-2 JinRo (the players that improved the least since 2010) I agree with this completely. | ||

If he had 12 lings and his drones he would have crushed that but with only drones... Not so much. | ||

Well rather if he had not played risky and brought his zlings back rather than trying to force the nexus cancel. That were like 8-10 lings up there(or I'm reading anyway, if he had made fewer drones, if you meant, if he had those lings then nvm  ). | ||
