Stephano vs qxc - Game 1 (Antiga Shipyard, cross spawn)

5:00
- qxc opens 12-rax into CC/Stephano opens 15-hatch into 16-pool



10:00
- Stephano gets speedlings early and throws down a roach warren followed by a baneling nest
- qxc throws down reactored hellions along with a starport
- Stephano going for a roach/baneling bust while qxc going for cloaked banshees and putting down bunkers at his natural
- Very little damage done by Stephano (1 scv killed) as he also takes his 3rd and goes for lair


15:00
- Cloaked banshee harass on Stephano's 3rd locks down mining. Failed minor ling counter attack by Stephano
- Early Infestation pit by Stephano along with pathogen glands and roach speed
- qxc takes his 3rd base (74 drones to 54 SCVs)
- Stephano goes for hive and +2/+2 melee upgrades and takes 4th base in the center of the map (gold base)


20:00
- Stephano puts down ultralisk cavern and gets adrenal glands, qxc begins to harass the 4th
- Big ling counterattack by Stephano forces qxc's army back
- Stephano pushes ahead and hits some big fungals to hurt qxc's army a great deal while 25 SCVs die. No tanks left for qxc
- qxc tries to take middle 4th base. Stephano has no infestors left against qxc's mass marine/tank army. Stephano does a 2-3 prong attack to take out qxc's army
- Stephano takes out qxc's 3rd base while also pushing the natural. Keeps streaming in units, gg from qxc

1-0 Stephano

OMG qxc! You were playing amazingly until you decided to derpilly leave all your tanks by themselves. :|

Was he? He defended the all-in well enough, but after that he was behind in upgrades, harvesters and put on no harass.
I have no quote!

Stephano looks pretty bad physically. He looks either hung-over, or has a severe headache.

I never see pro players do it.
And I watch a freak ton of games.

They just dont bother with it most of the time.

Gold minerals by themselves are fine but the problem with them on Antiga is that they just help the person who is ahead be way ahead.
