yeah. He keeps on maxing on worse armies than his opponent has, over and over again.

i think zerg NEEDS to go swarmhosts AND muta every game to beat terrans. swarmhosts to disable mines mutas to deal with drops



muta/ling/bane with eventual swarmhosts (instead of the broodlords) with tons of spines/spores around every expansion past the third to prevent hellion/mine/drops


vipers are underutilized in tvz

blinding cloud is like super good and you can literally just abduct a medivac into your wave of mutalisk/broodlords/whatever

Haven't been watching much HotS lately, can someone fill me in on what the answer to Medivac Thrusters is? Seems like a Terran on top of his micro/multitasking should be able to harass and retreat with virtually no risk of being punished.


Static defense.



More than what stephano had? Terran can just fly around it, and the moment zerg army is in the middle of map you do a 4 medivac drop it doesn't matter how much static Z has.

I feel like stephano just didn't play that great except a good engagement at the 4th ramp.


His composition is really bad vs multitasking bio drops. I feel ling/bling infestor is the option but widow mines are such a game changer when you use that composition.
Red and yellow are all I see

Not sure if it's possible, but I'd say not going roach/hydra would be a good start, or having a pack of hydras at every base like Protoss does against Terran with stalkers.

I think speedivacs seem silly currently, but everyone whining about them being imbalanced is silly when this is the second major tournament in HoTS. Give the metagame a month or so, if they haven't made tweaks by then, then it's time to whine.

Always nice to see Stephano get dismantled by a competent player. He should stick to playing tournaments with non-koreans.

I'm really glad there's things in the game now that means players can actually show their skill, it's so much more enjoyable seeing someone playing really well and being rewarded for it.

Last played this really well, his multitasking was fantastic indeed.
But, I must say, Stephano's multitasking was also top notch, and some of these drops were defended perfectly, but yet he wasn't able to properly punish the drop because it got away so freaking fast. Something doesn't really feel right.

First time watching Starcraft in 6 months and have zero desire to continue. Medivac speed boost removes so much risk from decision making. Supremely boring.


This is what I think too. I don't know why blizzard implements features without any risk factor.
Where is the point of abilities that either a) work or b) don't work but who cares because you don't lose anything?
It is like 100% salvage on bunkers, I don't get it.

Roach/Hydra/Viper falls apart against Bio/Tank armies in the late-game, so Ultras are used to buffer the damage and do some good DPS. Problem is, Stephano is just sticking with R/H/V with no transitions.

Many reasons related to his personality, professionalism, and how he handles himself.
