well if he puts more effort into scouting he'd have a much better chance
i really like how he's able to set up flanks and get good engagements (unlike nestea yesterday)

Well, I don't know... There's the whole unofficial world champion thing. We could use the same method for foreigners, and the last person to defeat Stephano was IdrA. So, it's probably IdrA that's the best foreigner at the moment.

Terran hard race right?


lol... just admit Bogus is more skilled than Stephano.


They were a good match for each other. I dont want to jump to any conclusions about who's more skilled by just one series.

Innovation made the Semis last season and beat a lot of top Zergs to get there. he's definitely quality.

But Stephano stuck right there with him and in the same night also outclassed Hack. He's a top Zerg even if his haters don't want to admit it. He got put in a tough group and barely didnt make it out. No harm in that, better players than him have said the same thing. Code S is tough and Stephano just learned that firsthand.


Are you serious dude? Bogus is so much better than Stephano. He actually has a chance to win the GSL for starters.


Dead serious.

Stephano is a superior macro player in general IMO but Innovation beat him using superior decision making and early game tactics. A lot of that has to do with a probable lack of preparation on Stephano's part which is normal considering that GSL is much different than any of the marathon foreigner events he's used to playing.

I think given time to adjust more to the way GSL is played as well as some better scouting I think Stephano could take him in a long series. His game number 2 was about as one sided as a TvZ can possibly be which tells me that if Innovation doesn't manage to secure an early advantage somehow that Stephano will crush him with his superior late game.

It's a normal dynamic between players of similar skill level.



I think Stephano and Bogus' macro play are on a similar level. But the game gives the advantage to macro zergs over macro terrans right now. The terrans basically needs to stifle the zerg's eco before it gets out of hand.


Did you see Bomber's games by chance?

I mean in general there's definitely an advantage for Zergs in the later game if they aren't harassed or pressured that's obvious sure, but game 2 was more than just the Zerg late game advantage. Stephano beat Innovation in virtually every catergory. Superior macro, superior multitasking, superior army movement and scouting, superior compositions, unbelievable creep spread that was almost impossible to check.

I mean yea Zerg has a nice late game advantage but I'd love to see Stephano try and trounce Bomber or Gumiho the way he slaughtered Innovation in game 2. Their late game play is far superior IMO.


Did you not watch their first series? They both took a " macro game " off each other.

I feel terrible now. I love Stephano and I hate those cheesy builds. And it's such a shame Stephano didn't put one ling to cover the attack path. I'm pretty sure he would have some good chances to hold.

Problem is that it is more of a surprise/gimmick build. All 3 races have ways to deal with it fairly easily if scouted. Terrans with bunkers into tanks. Protoss with sentries before getting colossi. Zerg with lots of lings and banes.


It takes 7 banelings to kill 1 marauder with equal upgrades...

thats why you usually want to hit marines with banes and let zerglings do the rest

well, that was dissapointing.
I hope nobody overhypes stephano anymore. He is a good foreigner, but stop the ''He'll own everybody!'' mentality.

Obviously you'd try and hit marines with them Lings to clean up the Marauders.

Can we do that AND stop the "Stephano is not code s level" nonsense? Now that would be great.

Eh not really. Jinro made 2 semi-finals. Naniwa made 2 quarter finals when the competition was much much harder.

Sorry but GSL is all about preparation, and it's no coincidence that the Koreans cheesed both Huk and Stephano. It works.

If we look at the flaws ov every player and say how he could put more effort into it we could call everybody a potential gsl champion.....
This was stephanos chance to show what he is capable of in the gsl and he didnt advance. I guess the whole stephano wins gsl thing is over now

fantastic scheduling synergy between SPL and GSL tonight.

i can watch stephano lose first match, a bit of drg, switch to SPL to watch egtl lose, then probably switch back in time for stephano to be knocked out of code s



As i predicted.

had a great time tonight.
