I'm pretty sure I've even seen him mix in marine/tank vs zerg lately but I might be mixing him up with someone else. === First looks like he's adjusted well on day 2. Expected him to crush guys like TOP and Puma so his loss on day 1 was a big surprise. | ||

I think Stephano could do really well in Code S, but he could also go out in Round 1 just like MC, MVP, DRG and MKP have done in the past. When you publically announce that you dont study replays and just play reactionary with pretty much 1 style you'll get ripped apart in GSL. He'd just sit around and ladder while all his opponents will have practice partners playing his exact style while ramming every build possible into it and seeing what works and where every hole in his timings are. These brackets formats that foreign tournaments use are a different situation than GSL. Brackets like MLG are just grind out games. GSL its practice bashing builds against your opponents styles and finding what works with alot of time to do so inbetween rounds. Round 1 knock out and being knocked straight into Code B seems like the obvious as of right now. | ||

When I hear his name I just think of 5 factories with the queues filled with tanks, while reacting clumsily to attacks. then winning Hey hey. He might queue up a tank or 5, but he never reacts clumsily to attacks. He wouldn't win win mech that way. | ||

But it was online So, maybe when he beat MMA 2-0 in the losers bracket at Spring Arena 2 XD? MMA was in a bit of a slump though | ||

MLG's version of Antiga isn't a decent map 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. It's not easy for Protoss to take a third on Antiga. It's actually harder there than on any other modern map (barring something like GSL Whirlwind). Stephano always picks Antiga against Protoss, because his roach/ling max is so good on it. You are right that the only way to macro PvZ there is to do a 3 base timing, but I don't think it's especially good for it - Cloud Kingdom makes for better 3 base timings, imo, because of the lowground 4th, as does Entombed Valley. Which was the second map, not Cloud Kingdom. You can actually make an argument that Entombed is a good PvZ map, but I don't think you can do it for Daybreak. At the very least, this series was way less defined by maps than Stephano vs MC @ NASL, with Bel'shir and Shakuras. | ||
