Which point would that be? That he is miles ahead of Mvp currently? Or that he doesn't even need infestors?

Stephano is a boss.

No infestors, no broodlords, no problem.

Stephano trolling... I mean that game was one after 7 minutes rest is just some trolling never viable in a real game, you saw how the roach/hydra army melted there...

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.


And group play is far more indicative of skill than games prepared for. In group play you are forced into standard play, relying on mechanics and outplaying your opponents over the course of a long game.

You were impressed by MVP cheesing Naniwa 3 games in a row?

That game also proved that roach hydra sucks hard once the terran is maxed out, Stephano lost something like 60 supply for 10 of MVP.

Well at least now we know all Zerg needs to do to win without infestors is rely on doing early game damage using the advantage of having unpunishable greed to guide the terrans hand into being greedy himself.

More like the fact that Zergs can still compete without Infestor/Brood Lord
