Didn't Stephano also says he chose Zerg because they are similar to Humans from WC3?
And Humans were not doing so well in WC3 if I can remember correctly.

You are kidding right?
In all four games against lucky he used different openings, therefore there is nothing to figure out.
In 2 games he went for buildorders regardless of what his opponent was doing, and in the other 2 games he chose his opening reactively, and in one of them he even forced his opponent to go down a worse buildorder than his own by blocking his expansion.
These kind of players are the scariest, because you cant predict what they are doing.

Even in the first game, where he went for early ling/bling agression, he attacked reactively.
When there were alot of lings out for lucky, he made a bunch of blings.
After he killed off all the lings of lucky and only queens and spines were left over, he stopped bling production and went for pure ling agression for quite some time.
A minute or two later, lucky started to catch up on the ling count (but had lost like 2 spines and 2 queens against mass lings), and stephano immediately produced the next round of blings to finish those zerglings off aswell.

Your claim that he has a strategy of going early bling agression into delayed nat but early third, you cant be serious...
That happened in 1 game and 1 game only. Watch his stream a little and you will see he stomps pretty much every zerg in eu, including nerchio (who is said to have incredible zvz), with countless different strategies.

Nerchio even streamsniped stephano twice in a row in order to break his winning streak, and lost twice.

Yeah I didn't understand it at all either, stephano did very heavy ling/bane pressure which failed completely cause lucky had roaches out.

His response -> take a 3rd.

Then he somehow held off a ridiculous amount of roaches and steamrolled lucky with a counter. I just didn't get it at all, just godlike play.

All I can see was his successful bling bust on roaches. He did soften the most of Lucky's roaches, and spine absorbed a lot of damages from roaches, too. He had very few roaches and he barely lost them. All he used was two spines and a lot of lings, which can be replenished from his 3 hatches.

Anyway, THAT IS FREAKING HARD TO DO. I really want to say that Stephano understand Zerg as much as Nestea, and he can be better than him later on!

When stephano has 90% wins against pro zergs (not ladder) you can start saying his zvz is close by Nestea's.

“Stephano’s skill right now…. it’s over the level of Nestea. Perfect defense and completely understanding the situation and decision making… I don’t know about the other games, but if we just judge it from this match, he’s the best. (Stephano vs stC)”

Wow. Calling Stephano above NesTea is quite a statement to make.

My guess kimchi is a derogatory term for players who play almost 24/7 and only eat kimchi between games, i.e. the unknown practice partners or b-teamers.. but they are wrong.. IPL had the best korean players
