Wow, it literally does not matter how badly MC fucks up, Ret just instantly hands the game back to him. Ahead after a bad attack by your opponent? Float 4 lone broodlords towards his expansion to even the odds!
Yeah, I feel that's where Stephano differs from Ret, he just doesn't make those fundamental mistakes and always has good decision making.

this will be so crappy if it's a 4-0

I don't understand it. Ret is so good early game, good midgame, he has sick macro and he has some OK micro when he needs it. But once he gets to broodlord tech he always looks so bad. He doesn't micro his broodlords, he doesn't spread or position correctly, he lands a couple fungals here and there but never has lings or roaches to help out. It's like he thinks 3-9 broodlords can finish the game on their own with a-move.

Also to show that he can hold off aggression on equal or better economy then the zerg, and survive the lategame.

Start to feel like this is going to be a 4-0 MC game :/

Ret has terrible positioning.

stephano also has some sick reads on build orders and has very good timings himself

Hope Ret manages a win. 4-0 into 4-0 must be tough.

Hopefully, that'll save us some time for the finals to start sooner.

3-9 can't, but like 17+ with infestor n corruptor support can :D

Ret endgame isn't good enough. I don't understand why...

MC's strength lies in his boldness to go all-in 2-base play when his macro is also good.

The odds on MC were 1.376, which is super value bet IMO. I only put 20€, maybe should've done more. Where? And the odds should have been better.

Having units and infestors below your broods is so important and had Ret just slow pushed across MC was not going to win that.
Can't blame him at that point, gotta try to win it somehow, mc had like 3k in the bank constantly killing rets southern bases, its not like just sitting back passively was an amazing option.

after this we will see stephano vs alicia? or canadian wcs ?

according to idra in some interview, stephano has some of the best game sense- he doesn't really know what he's doing, he just has a feeling and goes for it
reminds me of the old bw pros' starsense haha
