Dont start that shit again.
Just enjoy Nerchio's victory.
Lol Stephano didn't even play this tournament, but if he had i'm sure he would have won it. Nerchio gets his first big offline tournament win and he is now magically THE top foreign zerg. LOL for days.
Don't be ridiculous, Nerchio was the best foreign zerg before Stephano rised, like one year ago, but americans didn't know that of course, like they didn't know who kas was before tsl3. Now the same guys who didn't know who Nerchio is are like "wtf this guy isn"t supposed to be that good" but he is. He is as talented as stephano, and has been regular for 2 years now, he just didn't won much live events because he couldn't attend because he is not a full time pro.

I had to prepare an important presentation for Monday (aka tomorrow), and I'm just starting now at 11:30 PM. The torunament was so f* amazing that I put everything aside and watched the entire of it.
Thank you for ruining my presetation.
Well in the next 7 day I have three exams I planned on learning for this weekend and need to write a labreport until wednesday. Why are there always great tournaments during my exams? I will completly miss the NASL-finals which really hurts being a massive HerO fan. And congrats to Nerchio obviously, finally a big LAN win for him. And he had to go through the toughest opponents, very impressive.
So he did mineral walk and push them away ? he didnt click his dts away to save them because you can see nerchio pushing of 2 dts first, other 2 dts were still hitting once more, and then they got pushed away
Is there a vod of the second stream? I was trying to look day3 stream earlier but could only find the main stream. Naama vs Ret sick game was on taketv2

Was that impressive play by Nerchio or poor play by the protoss?

I have to commend everyone involved with HSCV for giving me the best entertainment I have had in a very very long time. The event was simply amazing and the players did a great job casting. Big shout out to the sponsor too for supporting e-sports!!!!!!!!!

He had roaches hatching, and when they popped they pushed DTs away.

It was lucky, not skillful, but still awesome :D
edit: SASE ON TAKETV2
not only roach hatch, but also return cargo drone trick
probably the sickest single move ive seen in sc2, its even more epic when u see yonghwa's reaction to that , and about 30s later nerchio makes a fuck yea face

Back then Stephano practiced a lot and became better than Nerchio, but Nerchio kept practicing, while Stephano stopped, and now Nerchio is catching up to him.
Nerchio is #1 EU GM. You don't get #1 EU GM by not playing.
Stephano's stopped laddering from what I'm able to see. He does play custom games, etc., but it's not the same. When Stephano was rising he was destroying everyone on ladder and getting 85-90% win rates on EU GM. That's how you're able to tell that a player is aiming for the top, and Nerchio is.
EDIT: But then again, there are a couple of smurf Zergs on EU GM. Is Stephano one of them?
For example, X Tentaculat, #17 EU GM, has a higher win rate in GM than Nerchio.

I dont think that he did return mineral command, I just think that hatching roaches pushed other zerg units in a way so they pushed DTs or sth. Need a replay to confirm 100% though.

Check the vods and you can see he is using the drone mineral trick and pushes the DT away. That was some of the most skillfull play I ever seen. Luck had nothing todo with it
