Yeah and it's a testament to how garbage this game has gotten when you lose even when you know what's coming. Because how do you stop this? One slip up and you still die.


oh i'm sorry did you not catch the sarcasm?

Yeah this is very ForGGesque. I get really inspired by games like this, then when I try it out on the ladder my opponent just has 5 roaches and spores and I lose :D

GG WP by both players, loved Stephano's play in g2.

edit: are semis Bo7?

That's what he just did, yes. And I do think he has a chance.

Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised by what Stephano showed in this tournament. But once more he shows the same weakness he has ever since his first comeback : his macro is not good enough. His engagements, his micro are still wonderful but he never got back the macro he displayed before his first retirement.

Yeah Snute refuses to take the standard natural on this map i think, doesn't sound like a bad idea.

How is he supposed to outmacro the best macro terran, who also kills 20 drones early every game. More like bad preparation or scouting or both
