Wow. He just crushed ForGG :-) who went full mech....sigh people these days Actually he tried his build that he uses on all Zergs on ladder but Stephano defended perfectly and crushed him. I heard he beat Idra 5 times with that build. Must be pretty strong. It was not that build, it was a thor timing after an effective hellion harass. ForGG that game did the "imaekthor" build and lost his whole army to mass lings (after letting all his hellions get fungaled btw) The game was over when his harass did no damage, because Stephano can metagame him every time because he does the same hellion shit every game. When his harass did no damage? I was watching both streams and he did a ton of damage, and he was ahead by like 30 supply (with a mech army) for a long time before stephano got ultras. If he decided to attack sooner rather than keep harassing stephano would have lost.
Ahead in supply is standard in mech build mass thor, considering each thor cost 6 supplies and the opponent doesn't go mass roaches.

Stephano is really good fundamentally, but I really wish he would take the time to practice some non ling infestor ultra builds. If people catch onto you it becomes much, much more difficult to win.

He just bashed sage as well... must be doing something right 
|
omg that game vs sage unreal

No, because sage didn't see his own lead
Zerg is the fastest comeback race if you let them do it

Pretty much this. I really feel like, and I don't mean this insultingly, Stephano is an "abusive" Zerg player. I don't think he's winning because of his mechanics or innovative strategies. He found something that's really, really hard for players to deal with (Toss especially) and he keeps doing.

I agree. But you have do give credit to stephano, who made it unattractive to attack because of the spines and great defensive play. I thought he would be dead by the first push, but he had enough that sage was afraid to lose his whole army by going "all-in". Maybe stephano is getting under sages skin!

Going gold base on metal in ZvP is actually overpowered and most tourneys either remove metal or remove the gold base because of it.
Even idra, who hates ZvP, has said that a uncontested Z gold base there is almost a free win.

Stephano reached the top25, rank 17 currently. Simply amazing.

For me personally he is the biggest talent we have seen in the foreigner scene. But thats just an opinion and totally not objective. If you watch those games on his stream... its just amazing.
