Holy shit, this is so cool. We are basically watching stephano evolve and adapt to hots game to game during this tournament .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I need to stop reading this thread NOW! Such interesting, action packed, entertaining games with so many new elements, but people here are just whining, not able to enjoy anything but their race winning..

Getting 3rd place might be more desirable for Dream or Stephano, they have a 1/3 chance of meeting PartinG, Ret or Mana each while they would have to play First, Sting and Nerchio otherwise, I'd argue that only PartinG would be a harder opponent for them than the 3rd place finishers from A/B/C.

That was such a cool delay at the natural... cool to see efficient use of hatch tech burrow.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

stephano should try ling bane into ultra, macro games with roach infesters are pretty meh vs 3+ base terran...


I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Lings and Banes are dead in ZvT because of Widow Mines... Mines are too good versus Lings and Banes for those units to be viable.



I think it just makes ling bane muta a lot more micro intensive, you always have to be scouting with a few lings ahead of the main army, as well as having a few overseers with the mutas. With 10 mutas you can snipe a mine before it goes off


The thing is, that this works if mines are used as mines.
But people don't use mines as mines. They use them as replaceable splash support for their bio ball. Mines are hardly ever alone. You cannot pick them off or force them to trigger.

And just preemtive: this is not a balance post or something. I'm merely discussing why I think that this strategy isn't good, so please don't give me balance shit responses.

This is why Stephano is my favorite player to watch, he's so innovative while having the mechanics to back it up as well.

Probably, it's one of the most common openings in ZvT in HOTS right now.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Stephano said himself that he's copying everything, so I'm guessing he saw it somewhere

i like how stephano learns so quickly despite barely playing

can even afford to discover the meta during tournament

i get crushed in ZvT in the start of the game and can't come back later due to aggression
solution: be the first to be aggressive

I can't believe there's already so much balance whine when the game hasn't been released yet, and we haven't seen players like Life, DRG, Flash, Taeja, Squirtle, etc. etc. fighting against each other in a tournament..
Just one tournament with huge differences of skill AND practice..
So far i saw the player playing better win in almost every game of this tournament so i don't see what's to complain about yet.
