Yep, even Idra was doing really well for a while after joining EG, but now look where he is .

When will people stop posting this shit


Guy's training hasn't been the same man. Toned down practice for this guy = poor results.

Science.

He got more/better results when he trained in US than in Korea.

SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11+!!!+!111!!

That won't happen to a player like Stephano though. Guy doesn't really have to work as hard as everyone else.

He's a different caliber and very low maintenance as well.

When will people stop posting this? He plays a minimum of 3 to 4 hours a day in his down periods, around 8 hours a day when he's properly practicing.

He's talented, maybe more talented than any other foreigner but he's not averse to a bit of gametime!

I think your in-depth assessment of the match is the only thing that doesn't "seem legit".

To put this into perspective, I watched the latest MSI Pro Cup where Stephano went up against a similar style from Supernova, a Code S terran, and won rather easily with his heavy ultra play. Against Lucifron, he struggled a lot.

Lucifron and Vortix need to go to Korea RIGHT fucking NOW. Vortix proved his worth in IEM, Lucifron has just charmed Europe. If they can practice in a good environment and work out a few kinks in their play, they are easily Code S material.

Such a good series. I'm sure all the balance whiners in here missed out on so much in those games, seeing it through those lenses. I feel sorry for them.

Imagine the mule whine if T won 2 games of a series after losing 100 workers in each =p


Yep.

And the thing is, I would like someone to collect and aggregate data on Pro games and find the % that Terran actually wins games when they lost at most 20 workers, 30 workers and so on at 10 worker increments.

I bet you will see that function dip sharply after 30 because of Terran's inability to reproduce workers, while you will see the win rate remain study for Zerg players who can lose hundreds of workers (Even early on or in the mid game) and still win.

What a shame.

It's kinda funny that 3 of the people who got knocked down into the loser's bracket during the first round are still alive (Happy, Nerchio, and Grubby). Double elimination really seems to eliminate some of the randomness and upsets that come from having random brackets to begin with.
Random is OP

Sieging those tanks when Stephanos was upon them was like the worst idea ever. From then on it was an easy win for stephano, as he could simple trade infestor energy for mech army health (i.e. minerals / gas) which does wonders in a split map scenario.

Also, he looks very comfortable playing with low economy (like 50 drones) cause his army then only gets bigger and T could not get army supply advantage @max. He makes a ton of infestors, ultras and queens to keep it all alive.

Lucifron try to go to the superlategame with that bc transition, but it was a really bad idea. This is not metropolis / atlantis spaceship where you can actually pull that off. I don't know if any map in Blizzard map pool is really viable for that now that metropolis is gone.

I am still disappointed, foreign terran could really use that win... well, at least Lucifron was close to delivering one. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
