The point is that he had 60+ larva saved up on FOUR HATCH, he kept up his injection in the middle of the engagement. Think about that, he doesn't miss a beat. He had been stuck on 200/200 for ages and was floating over 5k minerals and 2k gas it was basically bad macro saving him
Wait, what? He was maxed and banking money, and that's bad macro now?

So much for Zerg needing to be a base ahead. Stephano was 1 base ahead for 90% of the game Stephano took his third at like 4:30. MC took his at 9:30. At least come up with an excuse that has some basis in reality.
And then few moments after stephano took his 4th... yes he had to sacrifice it, so they were both on 3 bases for a moment, but then stephano remade his 4th. Hence the 90%... Did we watch the same game?

Im confused, how is bankrolling when your maxed considered bad macro?
I could understand that if he wasnt maxed and was wasting the money, but this confuses me.

MC is overrated, not that much but he's still overated. I mean he lsot a BO5 to nerchio last week.
And Stephano lost to Mana at dreamhack... How a player is rated is not dependent on 1 series or 1 tournament. Would you say Mana is better then Stephano? Or roof is better than Stephano? Stephano is obviously one of the top foreigners in the world but it doesn't mean he will win against all foreigners. All the top players can take games/series off each other.

He did a while back, right before he really got his fame. A friend played him on the ladder several times and he lost to his mutas with base-trade-type strats.

no practice for 2 weeks
still wins against best PvZ player MC isn't the best PvZ player. Yes he is. Seed and Squirtle are both better. neither of them are better lol I'd say all three of them are quite even at it right now MC has more diversity than either Seed or Squirtle, that is what puts him one step above in my book. He just has the most complete repertoire of builds in PvZ, with at least comparable mechanics. Seed has more diversity than any other Protoss... He is the only one that gateway expands a significant amount. Just a few weeks ago he showcased a completely new build where he got a quick 3-base and maxed out on pure Stalker. Seed looked good against Symbol because Symbol went for Roach/Hydra/Corruptor and is nowhere near the level of Stephano or DRG in PvZ. Seed has only otherwise played Violet and Curious (LOL) this season. Not enough to compare him to the likes of MC.
Why do you say lol next to Curious he is one of the best zergs in the world. Also Symbol beat Parting and Squirtle this season. He is far better than Stephano. It's hard to say where he stands compared to DRG. Also Symbol only went Roach/Hydra/Corruptor in 3 games and he won 2 of those games. In 2/3 games he lost he didn't go for that style. So I'd say it worked out pretty well for him.

Why would he make roaches against stalker/immortal?

Only time I've seen Stephano go muta is vs Mana in a practice game, and Mana complained that Stephano could go any unit composition and still roll him.
