He's pro, this is the guy who managed to cast WoT and sound excited for most of it.

Vipers destroy a Colossus based army because Protoss has to rely on their expensive units to do any damage at all. I've said this many times Blizzard needs to overhaul Protoss because a lot of macro game involving them is usually deathball vs deathball turtlefest. StarDust tried all the game long to harass, but it isn't just possible when there are spores and spines everywhere and if you try to attack you get crushed by an endless stream of free units.

I'm gonna go with "he's not allowed to not sound excited". It's the only reasonable answer. i am going with he loves swarm hosts since casters love all units equally.

Is there a stream that streams the player pov like we just saw? Soooo much better than in game.

Yeah brutha, I can beat 50 collosus with 5 marines if they way point move command around my marines.
Unless the zerg sucked it was literally impossible to get more than 3 bls in a vortex. oh yeah, and if you're trying to use archons, you're fighting a flying siege unit with sick range with a huge collision box short range archon. Great plan.
BL infestor 200/200 could beat any normal toss army losing 10 or so supply.

He had to kill that probe before it built a pylon. Once the pylon went down and started warping in, game over unless his micro is godly, which it isn't.

Only because of ToDs early 3rd base denial though. Even when he was like 6 bases against stephanos 3 he was struggling against the SH's.

Now go all-in again Stardust and f-ing kill him. On this map Stephano probably will Sh again, so all-in or die trying. No matter which way, the audience looses -_-

Yawn Hosts are much more fun to watch than brood lord / infestor
Strategy wise, this was the most amazing game I remember ever seeing. Stephano is a genius and now my 2nd favorite player. If you find this boring, you are not a true fan of RTS, just a temporary spectator, a tourist in the community of people who genuinely appreciate RTS.
