I guess this community incurable. Even after such an amazing game there is a ton of balance whine.

do a step by step for stephano's micro.


Stephano's micro was

1)A move

2) control click banelings on marines

3) focus roach on hellbats

and some stutter stepping

the micro was about even from both, but as we saw hellbats ignored a 2-2 upgrade advantage from zerg + higher econ.

A good Stephano pre-battle:

Step 1) split army into 2-3 control groups

Step 2) let terran step on creep

Healbats are seriously strong, but rolling banes head on into them is not that smart...

I would gladly take the nerfs if it's Mvp causing them. We Terrans are that manly, yes.
What do you have to say about that, Zerg player?

:D


Hey man, he's already caused 1 balance patch, what's another? lol

One balance patch?

Try half of the bunker changes

Zerg tears prolly because (according to some polls) more than 60% expected stephano to win this series. Obviously you don't bet against mvp, ever.

Why not build some spines during all of that? He had a couple moments where MVP let up for a little bit(especially when they were posturing around Stephano's 4th), surely he could've gotten some up in the choke to his natural, or on the highground at his main(I know the medivac's would spot them, but range would still be an issue).

This isn't a "I'm smarter than Stephano" type comment, I'm genuinely curious why he didn't do it and it hasn't been suggested by people as a flaw in his defense.

Stephano thought he won the game after his 2-2 finished and MVP seemingly retreated. That's why he didn't make any static defense and went for a killing blow.
A killing blow that quickly became a very grave mistake.
I had a good night of sleep.

The haters are out in full force today.

Keep telling yourselves that MVP didn't micro beautifully. Keep telling yourself that his aggressive plays make his wins not legit. Stephano is the one who messed up by going back into droning. He's the one who upgraded lings against hellbats.

that's what happened against bogus as well he didnt scout properly and he didn't even take both watchtowers, what a pity

That last game was so intense, my heart can't take this


Two players at, what? >200 APM? Those micro battles are truly amazing. One mistake and youre dead, and they kept at it for like 5 minutes...

Not to mention how easy it is to overextend on either side. They were constantly moving forward and backwards repositioning from what the other player did.

Thinking about the game, I wonder if MVP was planning to make Stephano think there would be a stop to the aggression, since he pulled back a bit, sent a medivac with rines out, which seemed to make stephano go "ohh i can drone and get mutas out" and then like 1 minute later he just piled back on, seemingly taking stephano a bit offguard.

Step 1) A move zergligns, roaches and banelings towards MVP's army

Step 2) ctrl click a baneling, all banelings selected, try to connect with marines which are running away


I don't really see why it's such a problem. Stephano had the opportunity to set up flanks ect and only ever engaged from one direction into pre-split armies by MVP.

Admittedly I think Stephano was the better player in that game, but I think it was very close and you guys aren't giving MVP the credit he deserves. His army supply was considerably higher in every engagement but Stephano's army was more efficient due to upgrades. The end result was MVP trading efficiently over and over against banelings until his army supply was too high for Stephano to deal with. It could have very easily gone either way, but MVP's micro prevailed.

I havent watched sc2 in a while. Why is Mvp playing in EU?

BECAUSE HE IS A F***ING BOSS

F***ING BOSS = not qualified for Code S Korea


Because he didn't even tried...

He did try.. He got knocked out. Code S in Korea is insanely difficult atm

To be honest, I don't think Mvp stand a chance against Rain, Innovation or Soulkey.
Edit: but he stands a chance to get into code S and stay in it though (if he tries).

It happens whenever a fan favorite zerg loses.

Drink it up.

Its not a fan favorite zerg.
Its stephano, its something way stronger than favoritism.

I'm just curious why a player like MVP uses hellbats vs zerg while a player like Innovation uses widow mines. Anyone care to tell me what the reason could be? Or is it just style and doesn't it matter shit what you throw at zerg right now?

At least these 2 base allins from T are a ton more interesting than P 2 base allins.
