If you're going by GSL winners then MKP doesn't belong there

FD won GSL open season 1 -> world champion
mkp beat FD in open season 2 -> unofficial world champ
nestea beat mkp -> 3rd world champion
rain beat nestea -> 4th world champ
mc beat rain -> 5th world champ

so on =]

televised live lan matches only :D


Ok, ok, I see. So at one point Jinro was the best player in the world! :D

haha maybe, will have to go through and check everything properly
might do a compilation if i'm bored sometime~

No, it really doesn't. Makes you look dumb for not understanding basic probability concepts.


I don't see what "basic probability concepts" have to do with 93% of people being overconfident about Stephano's chances.


Looks like you don't either, but you just blindly hate Stephano anyway iirc, so it wouldn't really matter for me to explain it.


Tell me more about whom I hate, I'm very interested in finding out new things about myself.

It comes down to the map pool for why Oz was able to get away with what he got away with.

Antiga -> Cloud Kingdom -> Daybreak, no loser's pick. Three great maps for macro Protoss play, no Shakuras / Tal'Darim till the 6th and 7th maps.

A lot of these match ups come down to map choice for what strategies players exploit. Oz has got a great map pool for his sort of play, and I think Antiga is the one map where Stephano has a better grasp of because it's his favorite map. Daybreak, from his NASL results, was a Protoss win each time he played it.

NASL was the opposite.

This tournament, I think, is going to be won by a Protoss.


Antiga is an awful map for macro PvZ, no idea why anyone would think otherwise. It's really hard to take a 4th, and if Zerg takes theirs in another main, it's very hard to push it without being extremely vulnerable to a counterattack. Broodlords own the center in the lategame, and it's really easy for Zerg to deny Protoss bases with that as a staging ground. There's a reason MC almost always all-ins on Antiga.

In any case, I don't really get how the maps being balanced and reasonable figures into anything. Shakuras/TDA are just bad, and shouldn't be in the pool at all. :/


It's easy for Protoss to take a third on Antiga, and from there you have to contest the center, obviously. MLG's version of Antiga is a subpar map, however, because they put extra mineral bases at the center when it's already a very important location, making the entire game a wrestle over the center 4th. But, at the same time, Zerg doesn't have an easier time taking a 4th provided that you control the center. The game does play into fast three base styles, which is what Oz loves. I feel that Oz's play style is dependent on getting a fast third and that this is his advantage over Stephano on maps that allow Protoss to do so.

But yes, Stephano loves Antiga too and I don't think it's a bad map for him. Cloud Kingdom and Daybreak, though, aren't great maps for him these days.

Doesn't take that long for late game stephano zvp to get figured out. This just proves that if Stephano played in GSL he wouldn't do good. Oz didn't even prepare specifically for him but his builds alone were enough to make stephano lose.


One BO3 is definitely going to prove that Stephano couldn't hold up in GSL. Point is, we won't actually know until he goes (if he ever goes) to compete. A lot of Koreans seem to have a very strong opinion of his play, but a lot of Koreans also had a strong opinion on Thorzain's play and that hasn't gotten him very far in Korea, so who knows?

Eh... I always thought Thorzain was way too predictable (which is VERY bad as a terran) to be able to win consistently in Korea.


And Stephano isn't lol?

The difference is that Stephano's build is good against everything as long as he scouts it and reacts properly. In the games against Oz, he got thrown out of his element by a bizarre opening in games 1 and 2, and in game 3 didn't scout a crazily early third. Had he scouted that third, he would have reacted and been in a good position. Instead, he caught it too late and was basically dead from there.


I don't think he could've done anything. He seemed to have read it well, and started making lings despite not scouting it. Oz was just really well-defended against a Zerg with late ling speed. So being predictable did hurt him.

It is a list of the guy, who beat the guy, who beat the guy...., who beat the guy, who won the first GSL. I expect it to go pretty weird, when MVP loses to Adelscott after winner GSLWC. And pretty hard to reconstruct, seing how many weekly-cups where up, in which Adel prticipated.

He still hasn't played that many matches in korea yet really. Give him another month.

Look at Naniwa, he started out 0-10 in korea and now is kicking ass.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

If we see 7 games of it it could be longer than a Goody TvT series.


Enough of the oxymorons


I don't get where the oxymoron is... O_O


"longer than" and then "Goody TvT series"

i hope at least :O


I think you mean exaggeration =P an oxymoron would be like

"10 minute Goody game" or "short Goody TvT series"

Did Stephano not do his homework on the viOLet vs Oz game? Really should of taken note of those unorthodox timings.
