Lol Oz vs. Stephano game 3 was just a stomp. Ryung vs. Stephano was really, really close.


x.x Oz vs Stephano game 3 was really close :/


Really? Maybe I misread things, but I basically saw Oz defend the big ling attack into a two-pronged attack that Stephano never really looked close to being able to defend.

Game 2 on Entombed was really close and awesome but game 3 was pretty onesided. So you were right.

Stephano would have won if he just pushed and sacrificed a few bases of his

lol so funny :D everyone complaining atm. In the ladder everyone is complaining and even on TL.net -.-

Wtf is wrong with you? if u dont like sc2 stop playing and (or) stop watching it. And the time u waste on complaining about imbalance shit u could invest in improving ur skill to overcome that "imbalance" (if it's as imba as some ppl say which i dont agree with) -.-

2 base terran vs 0 base zerg and terran loses......hmmmm.....


Please show respect to zerg player. He played incredible. Any other zerg can fail to those drops, pushes, different side of attacks.
If he lets his 4 broodlords out of his control only for 1 sec he was dead. He played near perfect for 10 minutes. And if u pay attention u'll notice he put his all units into 1 control group and antiair units into 2nd group:

group 1: broods, lings, roaches, infestors, ultralisks
group 2: mutalisk, corruptors

I am high masters in eu and still cant micro them properly using 2 control groups. tanks kill festors then broods are gone.. it's real hard job


he.. played incredibly?

he was put into a very dangerous position and did the standard zerg fallback option of "try to max out on bl/infestor/corruptor" and wait to catch the vikings in 1 fungal that will end the game

it happens in 75% of late game TvZ

It's incredibly hard to attack into creep against that army, let alone defend it when it starts to push.

It's not a balance whine, what i just said are facts.

And before that... it was a 5 base Zerg vs a 2 base Terran. Yet it swung a couple times. This makes the game good, not bad.


It was never 5 base zerg versus 2 base terran, and there is no such thing as "5 base zerg" in the first place unless you want to count hatcheries with no mining or just being used for gas, or the zerg has over 100 drones.

zerg must be the right race for you then
there is simply no way you can even get past low masters as terran if you cant even kite with 2-3 control groups

then again there is nothing wrong with amove (so dont take any offence) :D


If you can't get past low masters, it's probably not your micro that needs work. . .

was a pretty badly played game. i fucking hate when comentators make it out to be a "crazy intense game" when it was full of stupid mistakes and bad play on either side.

hope stephano gets raped by hero next round.

lol the most epic bw/sc2 games that were ever played had big mistakes on both sides. A flash robot rolling someone with perfect play is much less interesting than back and forth games with great comebacks and clutch micro, and for that to happen there has to be mistakes made.

you're just mad because the wrong guy lost/won I guess




im a big fan of stephano actually. i just hate when commentators tell a different story from what really happened. it was a bad game for me.

Yep, it was a sloppy yet super fun game, what ruined it for me was the casting.


Actually I like MrBias in any TvZ because I can literally hear the fear in his voice when the Terran makes a comeback :D

True.
Reading on TL kills a lot of the fun recently.



That , I was so excited about watching that game and came her to see some epic reactions only to see people whining and cursing at ryung about losing this game . Others saying stephano is bad and failed so bad and other saying stephano sucks even tho he just came back out of this.

When the fuck did LR threads because this shithole? This game was fantastic! Cheer for the god damn game and stop whining!


It would be an interesting idea to donate a large amount of money to TL so they would have staff on board to land banhammers on everyone balance whining for a given tournament. Would be satisfying to see. And would make reading live report threads a lot easier.

Honestly, I love reading what other people say about the game...until I get hit by a truck of massive balance whine. Live reports should not be the place where that is featured.

Not talking to the people that are here just to enjoy the games right now, but to the ones that whine about everything:

-It was very sloppy play, bla bla bla
WTF are you talking about? They are humans, humans make mistakes, they are never gonna play perfect. That's what makes it fun too watch. Guess what, every single Starcraft game the guy that made less MISTAKES ends up winning the game.

-Balance whining....
What's the point? I used to do it myself until I saw the light a year ago and started to just enjoy the games and not care about 'balance'. You know why? Cause I'm not the one to judge about balance since I'm not a professional player and don't have access to valid numbers confirming or denying balance/imbalance.
Why do you watch Starcraft if all you're gonna do is rage on a forum after almost every game.
I actually really wouldn't mind if someone's Starcraft account would be linked to his TL profile just to see what division all of these balance whiners actually play in.

Absolutely epic game. Yes it wasn't perfect from neither Ryung nor Stephano but that made for an excellent game. If every game would be as tense as that and less perfect Starcraft would be a lot bigger.


Couldn't agree more. So many on this forum seem to think a game of starcraft is only good if it follows an exact mathematical formula where everything that SHOULD happen DOES happen. They must lead really boring lives.

People just hate it when things dont go as they expect it. Maybe it makes them feel stupid, not sure.

Stephano was never really in danger imo. The casters hyped it up more than it really was, which to be fair is there job.


Was never in danger? You're joking right? Not only was he in danger, he should not have won that game. Ryung seriously outplayed him hard for like 80% of that game. Killed off all the mining hatcheries while getting up two mining bases of his own. I have no clue what happened(Not gonna dive into the cesspool of IMBA posts) but Stephano should not have won that.


Highlighted the important part.

I Clearly meant I have no clue what happened in the engagements not in the game as a whole. I said that because I didn't want to balance whine about BL/Corruptor/Infester. It sounds better to say I have no clue what happened in the engagement as opposed to saying Zerg imba as fuck.....

On the flipside, we also have people saying it's the best ZvT in history, which screams "I don't watch the GSL" like nothing else.

Grats to Stephano.

Up 2 bases, and 40 supply, and still can't beat the BL, corrupter, infestor. Feel bad for Terran in the late game.



it's not terran late game.. wow u are really becoming ignorant.. do u know how hard to micro festor/BLs as zerg? show some respect.

you mean for the first time ever as zerg you have to kite with broodlord and move infesors back after casting fungal?
must be hard eh, after getting used to amoving for so long
