Yeah, more lings in his base would´ve been enough to hold that off.

"but guys guys, Stephano is Code S and a top 5 Zerg!"
Lmfao, don't make me laugh. EG sent Stephano to ESWC instead of MLG to maintain his reputation, as they knew he hadn't the slightest chance against world class players, and he STILL loses. I really hope this puts some of the insane Stephano fanboyism to rest.
Hell, he's what the 3rd or 4th best player here? and people can make good arguments that Nerchio is better than him anyway.

Grand Final is gonna be played tomorrow or today ?

Didnt ForGG just pretty much get invited to the tourny because they wanted Korean representaion and they cant/didnt want to hold a Korean qualifier? Now he gets 12/20k in the bank. Tough life :p

He scouted robo, not the sentry+ramp block. He was like 1sec from getting 10-15 more lings into the main before first FF landed. That 1sec too late scout/reaction cost him the game. Solution? Keep some units in your base if you scout robo but don't know what protoss produces first. That's literally all you need to do. Yes, enough lings kill that easily. But I think he really thought he was gonna do a 7 gates Immortal sentry, that's why he went for a double evo mass ling, and he get out with all his ling because he wanted to harass the army of sentry/immortel all the way from Mana's base to him to make jim uses his forcefield.
So he gambled and lost. There's no reason at all to assume it's immortal/sentry. And even if it was, there's still no reason at all not to keep lings in your base since warp prism all ins happen a lot earlier. There was absolutely no reason for Stephano's units to be out on the map. Mana baited them out by clearing the watchtowers with a stalker. That's the oldest trick in the book and Stephano should really know it.

You're a mad guy.

I remember when I was mocked for saying that the french amateur scene was one of the best in EU. Well there you have it boys. This and the fact that patchzerg isn't a thing anymore. Now it's foreign zerg who are clearly competing on the same level as Code A koreans.

What other frenchman is even close to Stephano's level? Nobody is. However MiNaMaTh and NeOAnGeL pulled through the groups and one reached the semifinals. That's a good result for both of them.

This is ESWC. The only French Zergs that were in the playoffs are Minimath and Stephano. The only player to beat a Code A Korean was SortOf, a Swedish patch Zerg. I agree the Swedish scene is very strong.
Edit: I suppose you were referring to Neoangel. My bad :o. I didn't realize it was two different thoughts.

This ESWC is so random... Tomikus > Mana but Mana >Targa, Stephano / SortOf > Squirtle but then NeOAngeL > SortOf / .... And the failure that were NightEnD and Dimaga....

I my opinion for pro scene it goes like this : Sweden > Ukraine > Russia > Germany > Finland > France (just Stephano, Feast, Adel and Dayshi) = rest of EU but for Amateur scene it's Sweden > Germany > Russia > France > Rest of EU.

Anyway Mana now the second best foreigner in terms of earnings If he wins the whole thing he will be actually before Hero.
