i don´t know, why akilon wastes is still in the map pool. if you kill drops left and right as zerg and get rid of those hellbats, you are WAY ahead as zerg, but on this map, positioning for zerg is just so difficult, that you always fall behind in the lategame...

It's a great map tbh.


Stephano felt behind when he atacked in that choke near his third or forth, idk how to call it

That attack was so bad. Stephano is one of the better armysplitters to multiprong. dunno what happened.

ToD's little slot there looked so much like a daytime audience-participation talk show. "I'm ToD, here to discuss the big issues of the day. Should old people be allowed to vote?"

Priceless.

You'd have to wait for something like the Global Finals to properly compare the two. It does match a day of LCS, however.

Unless the Global Finals are in China, too. :-( Then please don't compare it.

I think MVP's first push won him the game. Stephano didn't respond well and from then on he was just trying to catching up. Really that positining around the rock tower was sublime

I have to admit I was kinda bummed out when dreamhack didn't get to host WCS EU but ESL has put on a fantastic tournament (with the exception of some of the Challenger League casting, there's a lot of room for improvement there but oh well).

So, hats off to them! thx for the show

I mean this as a legitimate question:

On that map, how do you stop a meching Terran? Ground didn't seem to work at all and the vipers didn't help the Viper's chances. Would Swarm Hosts make a difference to that mech army?


You probably need to end the game before the map is split in two, or at least contain Terran so that it never gets split.

We need another 100k viewers. The LoL tourney in Shanghai the other day had 192k viewers on Twitch...

250k on twitch. And you don't want to know how many viewers the Chinese stream had.


I do actually !

He is a better sport than the crowd. Seriously, it's fine that you have your favorite, and you don't have to cheer against the guy you're rooting for, but ffs at least applaud after such a fantasticly played game!


Well, I spotted plenty of fedoras earlier on so I am sure that explains why the audience is pretty akward.

Stephano doesn't waver. He enjoys blood even if it's his own. What a guy.

I really hope he doesn't retire. -_-

It's because Mvp covered both the chokes heading into that zone. I think the best decision would have been to sac the expansion and save his units. Or go counter.
