Stephano has such a talent for making SH entertaining, its crazy. Despite how much I hate the unit that game was really entertaining.

There is no skill in using swarm hosts. There, I said it


but why is stephano consistently playing the swarm host end game better than other zergs?

because hes the only guy devoted to practice it every single ladder game so he actually knows HOW to do it



I believe that it's because he can maintain high APM and focus for a long game better than most other foreigners.

So.. you have to practice using swarm hosts... almost as if.. it required skill to use them (???)

You're entitled to saying dumb shit, I suppose^^


I personally feel swarm hosts are a cancer to the game, and I'm going to bash the unit until I die.


Bashing the unit is one thing but they clearly require skill. Stephano wouldn't be miles better than other SH players if that wasn't true

I believe his point is that every top zerg has the ability to use them, they just don't bother to learn how.

Stephano getting the haters so mad.

If you dislike the SH, Stephano is probably the best thing for the scene right now possible. His notoriety and heavy use of the unit is the best negative publicity the unit has ever received. So, pray for
a) Stephano to advance
and
b) Advance into a 4Z group

Also, Stephano is great.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

The skill came in with the roach harass. his hosts were just used to sit in his natural and defend


There were at least two occasions where his locust waves were microed to victory against Nerchio's. One at the center when he picked off three swarmhosts for free, and the battle at the top where Nerchio couldn't break the line despite being closer to the base than Stephano was.

Winning in that situation? Absolutely yes, and great grasp of his opponents.

Entertaining in a more ridiculous way to me. Roach/Hydra can get intense if you actually see players engaging constantly and attempting to get the superior concave.

I agree completely. I hate both swarm hosts and zvz, but Stephano just makes everything entertaining with his hilarious obnoxiousness. I hope he can close this out now, so we can see more of this in the ro16.

Stephano is the only zerg player who is boring enough to actually practice shitty swarmhost lategames and his fans try and make it seem as though it is because he is just so much better still than eveyrbody when in reality he is just abusing some broken shit better than anyone because nobody else actually wants to do the same. Yeah im a hater because I dont like watching garbage games.
