To me, extreme bias by casters etc is not only annoying, it is extremely disrespectful to the other player. Competition is fine. Fans are fine. Even a few jabs here and there are fine. But this overly exaggerated worship of Stephano simply because hes a non-korean who plays well is really embarrassing to me. Maybe people need someone like themselves (non-korean) to cheer for, and thats fine. But its getting really old by now. Personally I think what was more embarrassing is the people who write off people at Starcraft just because they're not Korean. | ||

He definitely, def., def. didnt have enough time to get out Raven/BC, jesus with air ups and the raven ups that shit takes forever... | ||

I dislike caster bias because casters aren't supposed to be THAT biased, they ruin the watching experience unless you're a fanboy. While overboard fanboys ruin LRs because of this kind of discussion Yeah that's how I feel. Nothing against Stephano, but it's annoying listening to the casters act like every move he does is the greatest, most genius thing ever when a lot of the time it's actually pretty basic, and they brush over a lot of his mistakes. Sometimes it's like the opponents don't get any credit, it's just the Stephano show. Though admittedly they've not been -that- bad here. Really it's just an outgrowth of Stephano being the only foreigner who can consistently beat Koreans, and a lot of the fanbase simply aren't interested in Koreans, but will cheer anyone who isn't Korean. | ||

He hadn't sac'ed any SCVs, so his 100 food army (not including the useless vikings) got creamed by ultra/ling/bling. i guess u missed the part where he was sacking scv's like 3 or 4 times | ||

lol could you imagine Zerg going from that 300 army push (with extra larvae) to a 400 army push (by just having a few extra macro hatches and queens late game)? | ||

No, but it's useful to assess the result of one given engagement, at least as far as army goes. Other factors can be involved in deciding who is in a better position after a battle. | ||

Ts could really stop taking new gases once 3/3 is researched, after that, gas is mostly to replenish vikings/tanks/meds, which really dont require 8 or 10 gas or whatever. I don't mean for them to dump gas. I mean for them to make more orbitals with the extra mining they would get from those 5-10 SCV for more mules and expansions. especially late game when zerg is busy defending or in the middle of the map and can't harass as easily | ||

Dunno how long WCS will take, but it seems really long. Ah well, I think you're right, but it's still gonna be a long time until the time has come. | ||

People need someone to cheer for, and massive amounts of bias and fanboyism is annoying, but sadly inevitable. If we lived in some alternate universe in which the things Stephano has done was instead performed by some random Code B Korean who hasn't been in the GSL yet, it would be interesting to see if people would still try to call him the best/one of the best players in the world. | ||
