You can't 12 minute max out against gate expos with MsC. That build was predicated on fast 3 base against FFE. There's a reason it died out in HotS.


you can 12 minute max out against gate expo with MsC.

the maxout against a passive protoss who took a 3rd was 10:20, with speed, +1 attack and some scouting lings in earlygame built.
yep, that happened. but its not what i meant with stephano holding this allin.

ppl seem to have forgotten how all premier tournaments were basically immortal allin vs stephano :D
ye just knew exactly when to stop droning and building units, how to delay protoss, bait forcefield, flank perfectly and focusfire with groups of roaches.

this being told, to be able to do that, you need to KNOW what comes - pretty impossible in the current metagame.


I remember Mana rolling over Stephano, yeah.

what if hero just takes both gases, builds sentrys and takes his natural as 3rd base?^^


You've never played Stuchiu eh? :D


Hahahahahaha, if there was another Zerg as insane as I was in ZvP, I've never met him.

are you sure you're more insane than suhosin?


I've never met Suhosin, but real recognizes real. He is another who has found the truth of 10 pool.

Wasn't Suhosin the guy who lost to MKP's CC first with a 6 pool?

Stephano in his prime just did his own fucking thing and made it work. He probably would have double expanded to both golds and maxed on Roaches at 8 minutes or some crazy shit.


Good thing he retired so his fans can believe stuff like that.
Stephano was no doubt the best foreigner but he was in his prime when zerg was also in his prime.
And in GSL I remember him being tossed around by Innovation at the time terran had hardest time against zerg.


By the end of WoL he was already slumping from his previous form, though. His GSL run was awful.

He is a player that is young but his skills just became irrelevant in the pro scene.
