Really bored with how a lot of ZvZ is wait until max or near max. But my monopoly money is on Stephano.

well right before the 3side attack from stephano (followed by a stomped gg by Vortix) my stream stopped. Ahah, got back now.
It's all about the reflections of freedom. Even though he hoped for a better world, with all his strenght, all his will, the most he could do was to make her smile.

VortiX needed to use more zerglings when he was defending his third, he had very little gas and a lot of minerals, so he had to use a lot more gas on roaches to clean it up slower, therefor slowing his tech even more.

Although my god, that final fight from Stephano was amazingly well done.

Sometimes I think that Stephano is not that good, but his opponents being afraid of him and shaking and therefore playing bad.

The roaches diverted the army, and split into the main and natural drones... the infestors attacked the 3rd and the main army was ready at the 4th. He won the game on like 4 fronts and didn't lose a damn thing. It's just insane.

Man this is completely crushing. Not in the same level at all. Stephano is way more near the top Korean level than I thought.

Stephano just too fucking good. I thought he was gonna get crushed in that timing attack, but he stabilizes and then just pulls his opponent apart with a perfect attack.

Sigh, can we just force Stephano to go play in code S so EU can become a bit more balanced again ? :<
The guy is just at the next level at this point, but refuse to play where the better players are

Constantly owning the EU players vs. losing in Korea, you make your choice.

I like how Stephano just kind of decided to be good at ZvZ, and now just crushes at it.

Stephano worst mu is ZvZ, it means he struggles against top koreans, he still has one of the best foreigner ZvZ imo..

How much was it ?

Btw, remember Stephano's ZvZ against viOLet and RevivaL few weeks ago. He has trained a lot this matchup and it works !

Fuuuck I just came home.... how did Vortix manage to win against Lucifron?????

I think it must be hard to surprise your brother & practice partner & because it's TvZ, if you don't catch the zerg offguard...

Stephano repeating his trick of sending off a seperate attack group into the mineral lines of the natural and main of Vortix while simultaneously attacking the 4th base. That move really ask questions of Vortix's decision making and multi-tasking. Almost impossible to hold the 4th without taking damage in economy.

Can we just say Blizzard did the right thing for once with the WCS as a whole ?
It's such an awesome tournament.
WCS World could totaly top what the International II was.


I'm not sure it'll top TI2, but Blizz definitely deserve a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge amount of praise for the WCS

Really hope they do it again next year because it's been great for many national scenes

-======

(also, just to say I told you so about the viewer count =p )


I t hink WCS is better than TI2. (P.S. how many viewers did it get?) They've done a good job of promoting WCS in different countries, and the prize pool is half of what TI2 is for an individual tournament. They also don't want to outdo MLG and all of them by posting a 1mil prize pool or anything, and WCS has been very impressive.


TI2 got like 550k+ viewers with the Chinese, and 250k plus without.

(getting OT though so will end this track of conversation and let people concentrate on the games =p)


In a non antagonistic way, how do you know # without chinese? But I'm definitely not surprised, dota games seem more "viewable" because they're easier to grasp for sure (the principle. I think LoL is definitely easier than SC2, but I know Dota2 is much more complex and I've never tried it so I won't judge. But the idea of "5v5 trying to kill each other" is simple)

Stephano is seriously insane. I want to see vortix win the next two so that Stephano can own another 2 games instead of just one
