Stephano wouldn't be miles better than other SH players if that wasn't true As another user pointed out, Stephano's burrowed roach harass was the key. Swarm hosts you just rally. You and I can both do the same thing. You just place overlords and rally to where the enemy is. | ||

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. Agreed. You can like SH or not (I don't really like them), but Stephano did things with them than Nerchio couldn't. | ||

Well some roach hydras are good This was a good game Bad roach vs roach games exists Bad SH vs SH games exists This game was cool. Maybe we need more option versus swarmhost than going swarmhost so that we could have more fun. I mostly miss the fact that it's so hard to end a game when playing versus swarmhost. SH range is maybe too big, they zone out every units too easily. | ||

Yeah im a hater because I dont like watching garbage games. Best thing that's been said in this thread. | ||

I'd be interesting to see how he can compete in a potential ro16 group with good Ts/Ps | ||

Stephano's multitask is just better in these kinds of situation and his early ling / bling control is more than good enough to survive long enough for these situations to arrive. | ||

That had basically nothing to do with stephano and everything to do with Nerchio If nerchio did anything right he could have won easily, but he got overconfident and didn't expand at all, didn't remake drones, didn't handle the roaches well, and so he killed himself. | ||

I'd say the casters were completely right: Dropping the roaches would just have straight up killed Stephano. | ||
