It is not that the play style is bad, more that you get the feeling that the Terran cannot do anything.

Eh, it is what it is. I'm not a swarmhost fan, but that was still a very well played game from Stephano. I think more than anything, Terran game theory needs to be further developed to deal with that style.

There was literally nothing entertaining about that game. Entertaining is Hyun vs Jjajki on Heavy Rain

Stephano himself said on his stream that he stopped trying to sh vs Terrans because it was to hard to secure a 4th. I think it was mostly the map that allowed this style. Also the early lead with that roach push.

That last game was silly. Whatever glad I didn't make any sig bets. Jokes on all of you though. I hope you all have to suffer through Stephano vs. Slivko for three hours next round

Man this kind of SH game is just amazing. You are just angry because the eagle is down.

I hope you are just joking, because you are quite wrong. I could give less than two shits whether USA lost 0-3 to some French Bronze player. I don't want these Nation Wars matches because I want to see what country has the best players (note, this tournament is actually a very poor representation of that ANYWAY)... I watch these matches in hopes of seeing actually good matches. I am only interested in good Starcraft II play, and nothing more. Unfortunately, I was given these matches with Swarm Hosts in them, pretty much ruining the entire experience.

I DO think Stephano is a talented player, and I think he is a smart one. I just don't like Zerg's current unit design with Swarm hosts and partially vipers. Stephano just happens to love abusing the obnoxious unit design.

The problem isn't swarmhost, they're needed because protoss wrecks anything else with colossus/templar, which protoss need to battle terran bio cause it's overpowered. It's all terrans fault to begin with. Shoo.

There's nothing to develop. It's impossible for QXC to switch from 200/200 bio to mass air without dying during the switch.
