While Stephano wasn't the most experienced HotS player at the IEM World Championship, he was one of the most entertaining players to watch. Game by game, you could see how he was learning to deal with the other race's new tools, while simultaneously working out his own version of the popular hydra-roach-viper strategy.

By the end of it all, Stephano actually looked surprisingly good for a guy who was substituting practice with actual tournament games. In his ZvT against MVP's Dream in particular, he showed off some fantastic hydra-roach-viper engagements against Dream's deadly bio armies, even though he lost the series 1 – 2.

For that reason, I'm going to cautiously predict a Stephano win in this match-up. Last wasn't a particularly good TvZ player even in WoL, and he made it to MLG Dallas mainly because Soulkey was busy practicing for the GSL and didn't know what a hellbat drop was. Now, Last doesn't even have that ace in the hole as he goes up against a formidable Zerg player. Sure, Terran might have the upper hand against Zerg at this point in time, but it's not going to be enough for Last.

Prediction: Stephano 3 – 1 Last

They also lost to medivac push, hellion timings, widow mines, proxy-reaper...

It doesn't matter how they lost, no top korean Terran has lost a series against zergs since HOTS came out, shitting on Stephano for getting added to the list of victim is just retarded.
