Sure but the question is whether that will be a one-off event. I am thinking more about what happens next year.

That was during the main attack when their supplies were equal, Nightend just kept reinforcing his GW + immortal army with GW units only, lacking any splash and he paid the price for that in the end. Stephano did an amazing job just sniping all splash and pulling back, hunkering down until he had the critical mass to stop the army.

I wonder how big Sc2 would be if every match up was as amazing as TvZ(last years TvZ) and TvT.

NightEnd's three base timing was 20-30 seconds too late. I think he went too heavy on immortals early on.

was right after a zealot warp in though. He should have taken a 4th behind and transitioned into HT + Mothership. He had a chance, but just threw it imo.

That's the same exact way he played vs Taeja. He plays to not die instead of playing to win. Taeja just seemed to get impatient and A-moved to his own demise.

.ooh look a 3 base all in because he was too late for mothership tech
sigh PvZ

ForGG losing 4 Hellions because he was dealing with ClouD's banshee.

Wasn't the deal between MLG and Kespa supposed to be long-term? At least that's what I understood, I doubt that it's going to be a one time thing, especially considering how high the viewership for an event like that will be!

thats how nightend play-style has always been. Sits in base the entire game, gets deathball and hopes to wins. He is the epitome of what everybody hates in a protoss player.

that was grubby saving PvZ by being awesome.

13 min no rush, the current state of PvZ is shocking at the moment. Only Grubby makes protoss worth watching these days

Guess random people could do better against Stephano. It was pretty much logical play against Stephano. He just did a mistake with hallucination and reinforcements, then maybe, we could have seen something different or more interesting.

I don't know if this was Nightends plan from the start but felt that he got baited by Stephano kind of. He scouted and saw all those corruptors, probably expected them to morph to brood lords immediately but Stephano stayed calm and kept his corruptors until after Nightends attack got botched and then morphed them. Stephano seems so smart and tactical, no wonder he wins all the time. =D
Also really cute play by Nightend with hallucinations in that 3 base all-in, too bad he had wrong position on his real colossus.

Yeah, that great swarm of corruptors won Stephano the match, sniping the colossi and reinforcing with 44 lings really hurt Nightend.

ForGG and his 2-bases mech all-ins...
