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. User was warned for this post | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
