I dunno how Stephano does it, but it seemd like Lucifron had the game from the start and still Stephano just wins the game :D.
Stop with the balance whining, it stephano after all.

I think most Zergs, unfortunately, are able to win that position. And it's not very hard to do. Lucifron did everything right and should have won the game

Wrong...so wrong, so wrong. If you can't see the delicate precision in the micro in Stephano's play, then you're seriously missing out. Only a selected few could've possibly done what Stephano did to pull that game back in the fasion he did it.

Of course, Lucifron played freaking brilliant as well. It was just an overall fucking amazing game.

1-3 months they were pretty even, but atm Naniwa sucks tbh and Stephano continues winning everything (except MLG, wher he is "only" the best foreigner)

Luci outplayed Stephano up until the late game.

No transition into any spell casters to nullify the infestors or BLs... he could have made ghosts for EMPs. He could have turtled into Ravens. He never sent a hellion to clear out the burrowed ling that stopped his bottom right base from ever landing for minutes upon minutes.

No QQ.

You simply need spellcasters against other spellcasters.

Tanks were doing the job pretty fine . But transfuses and a big win in their first huge fights gave Stephano the game (Luci didn't have the time to siege all of his tanks) .

what did lucifron do wrong that game?


he lost track of the 3 roaches killing 15 scvs or more bottom right
also small mistake when he flew his cc over 6-8 infested terrans just before they expired

other than that flawless


Could've used BFH upgrade earlier as well and, though it's weird, building armor upgrade woulda gone a LOOOONG way that game
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)

Infestors is a good thing to have to even up supply.


infestors and queens are so cost efficient late game, every zerg just have a handful of queens late game for transfuse


transfuse is the most un-needed ability in the game and should not exist

queens are already good. why the fukk does a 150 mineral 2food unit that beats 2marines and is better than a hydra at anti air with longer range at spawning pool tech get massive healing capacity equal to medivacs (lategame with 8queens and 200food army, spam a few on ultras/broodlords easily and thats massive healing wtf)


I think it exists because of the micro aspect. It rewards multitasking. But when players are good enough, like stephano, then yeah its seems like they should atleast increaste the energy cost.

Yep

shut up. nobody wants to hear your balance whine


Hey buddy, take your medicine and get some sleep because I think you are fucked up in your head.
Lucifron played a beautiful game and to many people myself included, he seemed like a better player that game. That's an opinion and if you can't handle different opinions and start accusing them as balance whine, you better leave the god damn forum.

Lucifrons army positioning was not the best and he had to many vikings imo


How can you say that he had too many vikings when he couldn't even shoot down the brood lords? He had too many siege tanks, he needed more thors.


I agree with the more thors thing, Mvp used more thors than tanks at IEM and it seemed to work out much better for him, also +3 armor would have been good.

a t2 caster that moves at a normal speed, has decent hp, is extremly supply/cost effecient and counters basically everything. oh i forgot to mention that its even stronger in low money situations

Tbh, Lucifron did some rookie mistakes, like losing a CC to three roaches in the south-east corner of the map


Yes, this was actually the mistake that cost the game. Had he had this base mining, he would have won imo


Eh, I thought that was a fully fledged ultra-roach-infestor army, and couldn't lift as the base was planetary.

Oh and Lucifron best EU terran ? I would doubt this though he's good.


He can make a case for it, he just needs to win a big tourney or 2 and he can overtake the title from Thorzain. Lucifron is really good nonetheless.

Nice game by Lucifron, but it's bad to be supply blocked when you need to get your 2nd banshee out, or to forget blue flame for 10minutes.
Corrections of my bad english are much welcome

Yeah this is the issue. Obviously he did not have enough vikings, since he never once killed all the Blords. Yet even with the amount of vikings he had (and even supply), the Ultra/ling A-moved through all of Lucifron's force

Yes, I remember Stephano sending at least 5 ultras to kill that base.

Yeah that should have been Lucifron's game. He played so much better.


no he didn't :p

Yes he did, he killed over 100 drones and was ahead in supply at the start of almost every battle except towards the end. But ultra/infestor/broodlord/corruptor is just a ridiculously good composition and very hard to beat as terran.
