That actually was not that bad of a game. That said, the fact that SH/spore/viper seems to beat anything ZvZ makes me feel.... pretty sad.


It was only not bad because JD refused to play the same style.

Why would anyone hate a player for doing what it takes to win a game... ?

Yeah really, Stephano was far behind and eventually won the game by playing this way better than Jaedong. You could blame him yesterday because he was ahead but not today.

It's not about the player it's about the game imo. SH/static D just beats everything except SH/Static D which it ties with.

If Stephano wins this it will be the most epic thing I've ever seen in Starcraft.

To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

This is just horrible to watch.

But I actually think it's a good thing Stephano is doing this in front of so many viewers and Blizzards eyes just to show just how horribly broken the design of zerg and the concept of free units is in a RTS.

wait till we get a game where the zerg has a massive advantage, and then terran or protoss just turtles.

At least terran or protoss loses actual units from time to time while turtling.

i think it's hilarious we've reached a point in sc2 where people complain about Zerg turtling more than Protoss :D

Listen guys!

It's not the SH that are too powerful. It's spore crawlers... They buffed spore crawlers long ago because every ZvZ was muta vs muta... Now they just kill everything. And considering the only way you can beat SH is with air, the Viper + Spore Crawler combo makes it unbeatable. That combo shuts down all air.

That's the issue, not the SH themselves.

Stephano does this all the time, is retired, and he will get invited to even more tournaments in the future. God this is frustrating


As long as Blizzard is watching Swarmhost in action, maybe there will be something good that comes from it.

nothing good can happen from it because then we will have turtle terran and turtle protoss vs zerg if they start to lose so the zerg gets fucked.


I would think that by now it is obvious that Swarmhost is the unit that is causing problems in all three matchups.
Turtling is the result of not being able to move out with ground army and the inability to start the game straight away with sky army. It just doesn't work that way.


In ZvZ the Swarmhost is the problem. In ZvT/ZvP Zerg can't win a late game without Swarmhosts, and they're a reaction to turtling Mech Terrans/Protoss most of the time.

So basically this: If game goes to middle and late game Stephano wins since he seems to understand swarmhosts better. If JD manages to keep the game at low resources/early game JD has a higher chance of winning.

Valid point vor ZvZ.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
