MVP made such a huge mistake to spread his army. Look at the pityful fights. He had 170 to 190 supply in one situation but all over the map. If he had kept his shit together he would have rolled the ling ultra army.

You dont need infestors when you are that far ahead.

Did you not see how he demolished MKP in HSC6 just yesterday using roach hydra?

I'll reiterate, MKP was playing pretty badly there taking small engagements around the map. That's not what you want to vs roach hydra.

What do hydras actually add to the composition against ground mech that more roaches wouldn't?
The way that looked, it feels like the same thing would have worked with straight roaches.
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.


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.


Hydras do more dmg and are very good but the problem is they get raped by blue flame hellions if they get flanked and are slower.

Melted? lol

That's the whole point, it traded so well that it took out more than half the army...so the remax of ultra/ling could 1a the rest..

It's just using roach/hydra as mid game map control and power presence, then trading armies and remaxing on late game army unit.
Unbiased biased terran abuser Jeffrey. Sorry for the rage, friend!

Stephano smashed MVP/MMA/MKP in a single week. If you had told me this last year, I'd probably have called you delusional.

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?


Thats your opinon. He beat Naniwa 3-1 and cheesed twice. He probably couldve beaten Nani 70 percent of the time in macro games but why bother when Nani plays so greedy he can be beat 90 percent of the time with early agression.

So Stephano has now beaten MVP, MKP and MMA with Hydra. I doubt it is thanks to random luck by now.

Given how some terrans are bitching you'd think it was the new unbeatable composition.

Terran gets......

Gets really strong medivacs, that together with marauders will just crush all roaches, and that's the main part of the army.
