It is easy to understand.
People who are entertained = Stephano fans. They don't care what he does as long as he wins.
People who are annoyed/frustrated = Starcraft 2 fans.


Bullshit.

I have seen SH games from other players I loved, and SH Stephano games that sucked (like yesterday vs Pet).

If you don't like game 2 then you don't really like the game.

Oh really? You are the authority on who and who doesn't like the game? Just because in Game 2 JD was losing units doesn't make it good. He tried several ways to win and got shut down by an endless rally of locusts and static defense. It wasn't a great game. If it wasn't Stephano no one would give a shit about it.

SC2 is so much better than that game.

At least ratting usually has a cost for the "free units".

ok, so stephano fans are not starcraft 2 fans.. lol


Well stream views go down when Stephano isnt playing.

Which is really just a depressing commentary on the viewers


What's wrong with being fan of a certain player and just follow his matches?

I just really hate that everyone says "Oh Stephano and Nani are great for the scene because viewer counts go up." "Lel 10k less viewers now that Jaedong got knocked out" and the like.

Replace tanks and colossus with Swarmhosts and we will get 1-2 million average views within a year for each stream.

jaedong, who's best matchup is ZvZ, is losing to a retired foreigner who's worst matchup is ZvZ and just plays in his spare time?



yep

koreans have a stephano complex this is well-known

No "complex," Stephano just does none of the stupid foreigner shit that every single foreigner besides him does. He actually scouts his opponent, always. He pressures while macroing. While macroing! He doesn't impatiently all-in.

Basically, Stephano is a Korean. Anyway that's how I feel watching him play vs. foreigners, they are a class apart. Watching Patraeus beating him yesterday was sort of like watching him beat Life or somebody? You knew Stephano was going to find a way because he is playing the game on a different level, one most foreigners seem unable to reach.

Stephano was literally famous for never scouting and just playing his own way...

Stephano scouts to get the information he needs, like Korean progamers do. He doesn't vodoo scout like most foreigners.

i mean that's fair enough if you don't like the hosts. but it's not Stephano's fault that the game is the way it is.

I will restate I don't hate the player here. I just don't like this aspect of the game.

i disagree with you, but that's fair enough. i understand why some people don't like it. the games still haven't been as good as the long macro games in the late stages of the war3 scene, but i enjoy this shit.


I suppose these are the games I like watching:

Mvp vs TOP g1
MMA vs Gumiho
Gumiho vs Losira
Ryung vs DRG
Ryung vs Flash
Ryung vs Polt
Polt vs DRG
Life vs Leenock
Gumiho vs Creator
Supernova vs TY

all of these games are great. what does that have to do with anything though?


I always compare games to games like that. thats all.

hm ok. so where does the Swarmhost game of this series rank?

My reasoning for this is simple. When do people generally stop watching a tournament? In the breaks, most people want some kind of "closure". If a game goes 2 hours, people generally would rather wait and finish before moving on, rather than quit watching midgame, and so new people keep coming to the stream but less people are leaving until the game ends.

No literally he was famous for never drone scouting. Go back and listen to past interviews. He would not scout. At all.

We get it you think Stephano is the best. And he is the best foreigner. However, he was known for not scouting in WoL.

Nothing to do with authority. If you only like very specific SC2 played in the way YOU want then you don't like the game. That's just logical. Like if someone only likes watching tiki taka football and nothing else doesn't really like football.

People would give a shit about it if it was someone else, I assure you, you are wrong.
