FUCK YA ALL STEPHANO HATERS SUCK IT! WHAT NOW WHAT?? WHAT YOU GONNA SAY First of all, I'd politely ask you to stop typing in all capital letters. Second, I (along with plenty of other people who aren't fans of Stephano) don't deny that he's a fantastic player (the best foreigner, absolutely), but will still continue to root against him because we dislike his personality. That's about it. Also: That was an awesome game ^^ Nonsense. How can you root against such good of a player ?  I mean, even if his character is sometimes at fault, you can't root agaisnt raw talent ^^
The same way people dislike Naniwa or hated on IdrA even back when IdrA was winning things. Some people care about mentality, behavior, and an approach to the game just as much as talent and results.
It's just like any regular sport: Spectators often recognize a great player's ability, but if the player also has terribly bad manners or a terrible mentality, he often becomes a polarizing figure in the community and much of the audience may dislike him. And that's regardless of the fact that he may be a great competitor. People still may dislike him as a person. It's pretty straightforward >.>

Lol Oz vs. Stephano game 3 was just a stomp. Ryung vs. Stephano was really, really close.
Stomps cannot be amazing games? Even in real sports I don't understand the thought that if the game is close it's automatically more amazing than a stomp no matter what actually happened in the game.

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 Watching someone play perfectly is awesome, what the hell are you talking about.
Dunno, not necessarily. Watching some optimized timing hit the spot is lame as fuck. Watching games naturally progress into stalemates can be terrible despite the players doing everything they're supposed to do properly. It's fun when games aren't settled in that single engagement for once.

Even as a Protoss player I thought that was silly. 2 mining base Terran with a supply lead vs 0 mining base Zerg.

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
Bwahahah I'll admit MrBias wasn't showing as much of it at HomeStory, but I wonder if the buzz takes the edge off

Just pay your ten bucks if you want to see every game or stop bitching. The main (free) stream has a much higher frequency of games, Stephano needs a break so they're showing another match on the main stream.

I think badly played games can be called epic. Many TLers just cannot separate flawlessly played games with great games. A game doesn't have to be perfectly executed to be enjoyable or branded epic. Because half of TL are gold league armchair pros. They don't even know what perfect play would look like but they just like to take shits on pro players so they can feel cool. 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.
Do you remember that night in October last year?
It was beautiful.
