Players are playing an important tournament and using all the resources at their disposal. Don't hate the players for using the tools given to them. Lone Star Clash isn't exactly an important tournament, and Starcraft isn't exactly important to Stephano. It had better be, as he took an invite that could have gone to a more deserving player The most ironic part of all of this is that Stephano is perfect for LSC because he brings in more viewers no matter what he does. People talk about the game, and the tournament.
But I think that "you can't blame the players for using every resource they have at their disposal" is idealistic. If every game was like this nobody would watch Starcraft and everyone would be blaming the players for purposefully playing boring, uninteresting games when the potential exists for more exciting games to be played. eSports doesn't exist without people who intrinsically want to watch these games, and yes, the player has an unspoken responsibility to play entertaining games. You see that sentiment in Korean SC2 interviews all the time, "i hope to show my fans entertaining games."
Stephano is a Starcraft savant. He absolutely knew that he had AT LEAST a 10 minute window to move across the map and win the game. He purposely didn't do that.

INcontrol giving us sweet lies, trying to imply that this game actually has a ending. STOP LYING GEOFF, WE KNOW THAT THIS WILL GO ON FOREVER.

At this point, air transition wouldn't work. Unless there's an opening to the sides for air to wiggle around them - which is something that could've been done an hour and a half ago but may be less likely now. Here comes a greater spire, maybe something happens next. I'm talking 20 banelings hiding in 30 overlords, no way they can kill all of them in time
yea Stephano has the minerals to make like over 100 overlords, then hide banelings among these

Increase in viewer count reminds me of when we used to find BL-infestor cool. I still remember Dimaga vs JYP at HSC where Dimaga just camped with spines, infestors, and BLs at Dual Sight. Of course, when every zerg did it against protoss, it got old fast.
Hopefully this doesn't turn into most ZvZs.

This, very unfair, you don't say "draw after 2 hours", make players respond to that, and then go "LOL NEVERMIND! :D" ... :\

please to save esports

sack some swarm hosts for broods? Ultra queen combo? Infestors? lol. I guess Stephano doesn't need to use the restroom at all. No hurry.

This should end eventually. But it'll still take a long time.

Okay, look guys... I need to go to work in 4.5 hours, and I'd like to get some sleep.
Somebody do something!!

A haiku:
Swarmhosts spawn locusts
locusts locusts more locusts
more more more more more
