This game shows another problem: GREED
1) Z can be greedy, and terrans can't punish it.
2) T can be greedy, and zergs can punish it.

I guess you could deal with the banshee or something but I don't think the banshee was doing damage fast enough to make much of a difference anyways


Hydras don't take the Siege Tanks bonus damage against armored.

They die in 3 shots just like roaches.

I guess Mvp is not dead because he has triple OC but... definitely not even.

I can't help but to see this as another zerg beating a terran. At least the usage of Hydra's makes it kinda cool.

You do realize how stupid that makes you right? Stephano plays a completely different style, and beats one of the best players in the world. He didn't abuse infestors or brood lords, so why would this be anything like what other zergs are doing?

I personally I'm not a big fan of how stephano presents himself and his mentality, but you can't help but admire his play at least. There is nothing ordinary about that.



Mvp is not "one of the best players in the world" anymore. He's fallen all the way down to 26th in tlpd and would be the underdog against quite a few foreign Zergs.


Afaik, he is the only terran that won gsl in 2012 and only terran who got to the finals of gsl in 2012.
This is a better indicator than being rated high on tlpd. He doesn't participate in that many tournaments as some other terrans like Taeja so even if he was in top form of 2011 he probably wouldn't be highest ranked terran.



Mvp actually still has the highest peak elo in SC2 history. Back when he was far and away the best player and the closest thing SC2 has had to a Bonjwa. He has falled quite far since his injury. He won a GSL, yea, but he looked ugly doing it.

If you actually watch his games you'll see his mechanics aren't up to par and his gameplay has suffered. He was dominated in the Blizzard Cup as well.


His group play has always been pretty meh, because his strength has been in preparing for games. That's why he's the only person (I think) to even get to 2 GSL finals this year, because that's where he is most comfortable playing.

wowser didn't belief I would ever see hydra ultra again in a televised match. Well didn't used this combo for a while either. (Stole it from Stephano when he wasn't that popular)

you know i have a friend that started starcraft 2 recently, he told me that against terran he used hydra to counter some drop (it was almost 2 month ago), i laughed so hard at him, and now i see stephano doing this, lmao

It seems to still be 3 shots to kill either way, so in terms of defensive stuff, I'm not seeing it.
Maybe the range/dps difference would be more clear in a game where the meching player is set up differently, cause mvp might have just died to a lot of things at that time.

At this point I think stephano is just trying to make a point with his refusal to produce infestors.
