Korea still >> EU but its really remarkable seeing the EU guys winning tournys lately. I mean eerybody expected the gap to be bigger as times goes on, but it seems not really like that. The top EU players can def hang with the top korean players right now.

Only if you're a moron. Stephano could beat anyone in Code S. There are a good few Code S players who could beat Stephano as well. In case you haven't noticed, sometimes people can lose to people that they're capable of beating.

It seems like the main things stephano does better then a good portion of other zergs vs protoss. (there is a 90% chance i'm horribly wrong though)
1: Injects even in the mid-late game he doesn't seem to falter.
2: Surrounds the protoss deathball especially with colossus is very "front loaded" so any surrounds are so strong vs protoss.
3: Disengaging from a battle to keep units alive.
4: Sacrificing the correct things. So many times i see stephano just sacrifice a base or some roaches and then just pull ahead with other decisions.

All of these things seem to set him up very strongly in the late game.

He's not unbeatable in ZvP but fuck it makes me so damn uncomfortable watching him play with me being a protoss player.

Blind hate. Stephano proofed often enough that he can beat the very best. Its time for those people to shut their mouth and stop that hate.

This isn't an example of a weak race, this is an example of a weak player.

As much as I like Alicia, nerves or what, I don't understand. Stephano is just on another level to him.


Well, you can be pretty sure that Zerg will be hit in the next patch, warranted or not. Not just Stephano, but many Zergs are winning the tournaments at the moment. Honestly Stephano + Zerg looks much more powerful than any korean Terran has ever looked, he made MC look like a gold leaguer, and Alicia is looking like a...well let's not go there .

What???? Did you completely miss MMA/MVP dominating korea for over a year?

I guess you forgot about him 4-2'ing the current RO4 player MC? He's playing even better than he was yesterday too imo..


MC owned him at red bull
one series means little, also, he's playing much worse today than yesterday.

Who?


go watch MMA vs Stephano IPL4. Stephano got dismantled. He would also lose to Symbol, DRG, Nestea, MVP, MKP, Squirtle, etc. Basically 75% of Code S veterans
Players: MMA, Boxer, Ryung, Life, TaeJa, Squirtle, Brown, Dark,

What if zerg is imba?

But no one is hitting their injects like stephano


When I said that he had good injects and thats the reason he has so much more stuff and creates timings or easier defence for himself, I was called out as a bad observer, because casters call out Stephano for bad injects... :x


lol Well.. i'd let you obs my games anytime :3

DRG comes to mind


Actually he cant beat most zergs atm since his ZvZ sucks hehe but Stephano actually beat DRG at blizzard cup tbh


DRG won the last Blizzard Cup so IDK what you're talking about.


They met in group stages. Stephano beat DRG when they met.

That said, I think a really strong ZvZ'er, such as DRG/Symbol/Nestea, would be tough match for him. He still has a decent chance to win regardless though, everyone was writing him off against Nerchio's ZvZ at homestroy cup 5 and stephano just ploughed through him 2-0.



That said, Stephano didn't make it out of that group. Irrelevant.
