After years of friendship, Stephano, 21, recently showed to the world that things were not going well with the 23-year-old Korean Protoss.
"He found him too arrogant, and personal fights started to take over official competition" says a source close to the Zerg prodigy.
Another source, who is close to the two of them, says the clash was "unavoidable."
Recently, though, they had been seen out and about, enjoying ice cream at HomeStory Cup, and nothing was indicating the terrible clash.
"This is not a game", Stephano said when asked about the violence in his tweets.
The two legends decided that words were not enough to settle the matter.
Both players are headed to Paris where an official Bo5 will take place at Meltdown on Tuesday, July 1st, 20:30 CET.
The duel has already raised huge interest amongst professionals, and two official streams will broadcast the encounter live:
French: Pomf et Thud (www.ogaming.tv/stream/meltdowntv) English: Apollo (www.twitch.tv/apollosc2)
An employee of Meltdown bars, whose name is kept secret, revealed that whatever the outcome of the matches, a dance battle would end the fight once and for all.

I know this is satire, but I was still shocked at the (fake) statement that Stephano called someone else arrogant.
Anyways, I hope MC wrecks him.

Considering that all games will be quite swarmhosty, I think Bo5 will be fine :p

This is like some bizarre WWE promo, but still pretty funny.

Indeed
Anyways, back on track: I want to see dance-offs.

Bo5? that's poor give bo7 or Bo9! Normally a Bo5 would be satisfactory, but MC is actually going there from Germany, so I concur to this statement.

Bo5 ? That's only 3 games  I WANT MORE STEPHANO !!!!!
Make it Bo9 MC may won one that way
|
Not enough satire.
Have them come out to alt-rock music wearing title belts.
Come on. Let's WWE this thing up
|
BO5 SC2 plus BO5 dance battle.
|
Why not a Bo69 and get Kaelaris to cast it! :D

Did you really need to state your opinion that he's arrogant here lol.
|
|
Would like to see some cool Stephano games, but MC's style seems like a hard counter to Stephano's current style.
MC is not a sit back and macro Toss, he's going to crush with some gateway timings.
|
hahahaha, cant fucking wait! im glad stephano has stuck around after he retired
|

Yeah, despite his nonchalance, it's obvious he wants to continue supporting the community <3
|
If this were a Teaja showmatch I'd hope the outcome would be settled by a champagne bottle opening contest.
|
|
These showmatches are super interesting, because its just so neat seeing the chance that Stephano can bring it after being a student- even if he doesn't win, what if he does?
|
This is today right? So where is the hype!
|
And there is no indication of it happening on the "upcomming events"-list on the teamliquid-page.

They probably want it to end before New Years Eve.

BO5 seems a little short for flying to Paris to have the show match. ><" Definitely tuning in though.
|
I'm sure MC can micro blink stalkers vs locust until he corner and reach the SH.
I bet stephano will offrace protoss to win.
Go go boss Toss.
(ps definitly Bo7 pls so we get more than 3 matches)
|
Everyone is saying a Bo5 is too short, but there is the Bo5 (which will probably take like 5 hours ) and then Ze Dance Battle! And then 2v2s with fans as far as I am aware, so hopefully there will be plenty of Substance !
|
|
great initiative ! there was nothing on tv tonight anyway 
Two players i like, facing in a BO5 : can't wait !

To waste more time in the balance thread for terran, or come here and enjoy the absence of terrna, I dont think this is a difficult choice.

I like Apollo for his play-by-play analysis. Not this yelling thing which really seems out of place.

MC 2-1 Stephano wins the drinks

LOL we need Jaedong playing on this format, he would be invincible in the dance battle and in hype! Skill is alright

You want some beef homie?

Stephano better not win this...

Every time I see a Protoss cannon rushing I have the urgent need to punch the player into his face Even if MC actually managed to play this out so bad that he got behind somehow... must be a miracle

Only fitting that the series ends with swarm hosts

Stephano condemns pylon block and cannon rush with swarm hosts. Makes sense. :D
|
Wouldn't be Stephano without Swarm Hosts.
|
|
I usually root against the swarm host player, but this was ridiculously well played by Stephano. Maybe it's just an imba map for swarmhosts though but it looked very impressive.
|
Stephano completely outplaying MC, this is so good to watch !  The power of baguette !

Get ready to see Stephano playing the same Pasive/Defensive and never attack Style, until MC decides to suicide his army to Locus and Broodlords...

Watching the VoD - Apollo you should have made this much better. - A good showmatch went bad.
Leaving skype open?
Didn't check on your connection on breaks? (ping, trace, connect to your router and seeing problems, etc)
This would've been a great showmatch that should have went a lot better. I respect Apollo as a caster, but this showmatch should have been much better done on your end.

Could someone tell me what the final score was? i did not get to watch this due to timezone difference

Bo5 showmatch : Stephano won (i believe 3/2)
2v2 : MC won 2/0
Dance : MC won 2/0
Shots : Stephano won
Been there, not disappointed D:

He won indeed 3-2, was mostly SwarmHost, like you'd expect from Stephano. I was kinda disapointed that MC broke with his role during his conclusion of the show at the very end of it, overall a must see tho.

Are there Vods anywhere ? I'm at work and can't see if appollo saved the VODS.
