Stephano isn't better than Life

No shit but he's more than capable of taking Life out in a BO1, which he did.

I feel like the GSL events are awesome, but hindered by A) bad foreigners and B) Lack of non-zerg.


Code S had the potential to be awesome, but Sniper.

honestly it should have been DRG, MKP, MVP, MC, and MMA for the entertainment factor, they just make better public speakers.

And foreigners should have Stephano, Scarlett Kas, and someone who's overall better foreigners

Hahaha are you tired too? Wondering "What is doing??????"


I stopped posting every minute and instead did it by like events or how far the game progresses.

So basically the last 10 minutes I just didn't post and kept adding stuff.

<3 LR is one of the hardest jobs around. *Cheers* Thanks too!

putting stephano against protoss is retarded... should be drg -__-


Well, Life lost.


Yes, clearly this means Stephano can't lose in ZvZ.

>.>

Stephano beat a player who was ahead (albeit slightly) the entire game until he spammed Nydus everywhere. I'm not trying to demean his accomplishment, but to say DRG can't beat Stephano because Stephano won a Bo1 vs Life is really, truly stupid.


He was never ahead, he went for the kill with his roach push which Stephano defended, then used his standard nydus play...which Stephano defended superbly.

Stop trying to downplay his achievment.

no!!
the ipl teamleague finals, TL vs IM.
something insane like 9 hours for 2 bo5s


well that is technically two team matches


Still longer than this for sure. Between every match they took 30 minutes break. It was just painful.

Stephano isn't better than Life

Playing better than someone in 1 game doesn't make you a better player, you just played better in one game. I think everyone would agree that Life is overall way better than Stephano.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

If Bonjwano wins this with all-kill I'm adding him to my signature. I've always liked him but he's really impressing me today. While many foreigners have good macro and can keep up with the Koreans in unit compositions, Stephano has some of the best map control in the entire game and always has - it gives him such an edge.


Stephano really needs to get his ass in GSL...wish he'd take his 100k a year salary and just devote a month or two of his life to pro-level practicing.

no1 said that. Do u even read the conversation or do u just want to hate on stephano or on stephano fanboys?

Life still didnt throw the game for fun, nydus is quite common on metropolis in ZvZ lategame, stephano just held it well and won...
he played better in that game, or not even that - he made the right decisions than life.

If Stephano somehow manages to reverse all-kill KOREA... well it would be a crime for EG not to send him to GSL after something like that.

Stephano isn't better than Life
But that doesn't mean Life is going to win a hundred percent of the time. At best, if Life and Stephano play, Life has maybe a seventy percent chance of winning and Stephano a thirty percent chance. In reality, I'd bet it's closer to 60-40.

This time was one of the forty percent. BECAUSE STEPHANO OUTPLAYED LIFE.

Also, I don't know how serious you guys thought Life was ahead, but he actually wasn't that ahead.

Stephano had held that push and had a fourth upcoming. Once he held the fourth, he was ahead.

Life did a Nydus because his tech was behind and Stephano was ahead in economy + was unbreakable from the front due to choke points + spines.

That's why he went Nydus, and he would've won if Stephano didn't get there just in time.
