This is honestly the scariest open bracket. WOW, lol there could be some major upsets with people not even making it out of the open bracket!

Did you even watch IPL?. Stephano vs StC wasnt even close it was complet domination.

I feel really sorry for the koreans that have traveled all this way just to play MLG and then have to play Stephano. I expect alot of cries and hate when Stephano knocks players like MKP and polt into the losers bracket


You are right and i don't want to turn this into Stephano vs rest of the world debate, but his play style seem to be really "simple" (in a good way though) and i think players like TheStC knows this now and will try his/their hardest to prevent Stephano get into mid/late game where he is extremely good.

It all comes down to Stephanos tactics and how well the other players are prepared. I think Stephano has a huge edge, since he hasn't been playing anything but ladder pretty much, so the opponents might not know how he plays.

But interesting to see how he does, and as said previously, i think this is a really good "test" for him.


I agree with allmost everything you sayd. I just dont think Stephano is "simple" He is a low eco zerg that is extremely agressive and really good at defence. He got multiple builds he isnt just a 1 trick pony. He will roach/bane all in you, he can play his famous infestor/ling style and can play muta/bling aswel.

I think he is everything then simple. If you compare Idra to Stephano in ZvT Idra is a heavy eco zerg that 99% of the time goes Muta/bling most of his opponent knows that but he still beats alot of people. Becuase of his heavy eco style he is however easy to kill in the early game

Stephano is a complety different zerg I dont even know how to judge him. He plays low eco and high eco when it suits him. You simply dont know wtf the kid is going todo and for me that makes him one of the most dangerious zerg to prepare against.

Polt <3

MLG is going to be the best tournament to date bar none.
It is what it is.

Yeah i think you are right. I couldn't find the right word what i was looking there. And by no means i know Stephanos play inside out, in fact i haven't watched his play that much. So about that part, sorry.

But i guess thats enough of Stephano. He is capable of beating any of these players and thats what matters here. Good luck to him nevertheless, i doubt it will be easy though.

One of the few open bracket tournaments where going with a perfect draw close to every spot will be filled with talent. The 4 going into the pools will have to be top of the line and the others filling up the championship bracket wont be half bad either.

True it wont be easy for any of these players. I just hope they gonna stream it when all these amasing players run into eachother in the open bracket.

Leenock is going to Providence at least, i don't know about else.

Hi Guys,

+ Show Spoiler +
I apologise but after proving that it was legal for Leenock to be in the event, the hotel itself decided they dont want to risk having Leenock there.

Although not illegal, they are afraid he would be caught touching (as in physically touching) the poker machines or tables, which is a crime in NJ.

After fighting as much as possible, the hotels rule is final.

This has nothing to do with underage people being allowed in the hotels etc, it is just that you actually have to pass through the gaming hall to get to the venue. Which is the actual issue at hand that there is 'risk'.


In return, I will send leenock to Providence MLG.

+ Show Spoiler +
We are now deciding which other player we will send, whether it be Inori, Choya or SiriuS.

I will announce later today whom we come to a conclusion about.

Sorry to disappoint leenocks fans, but I will make sure he gets to the USA asap!

Demuslim, White-ra, Polt, Alive, Stephano, MKP, Sase, Stephano, TheStC --> these players are so much better than half of the players in the poolplay that's such a shame there will be only 4 of them who goes in the pools.

I really hope white-ra can get through the open bracket and get a seeding, and MKP gets through and shows some great games for the fans who put up the money to get him over.

Oh boy another Euro overhyping Stephano eh? This is new. -_-

StC obviously figured out Stephano's style after game 2, but Stephano changed it up and he won like that. I am sure the Koreans took note of Stephano and they will know how he plays going into Orlando. They will be prepared and they will most likely be able to handle him with ease.

I would love to type up a 5 page paper for you on this subject but I know their is no point in talking to fanboys.

Let's see if Stephano can pull out another win, or if his games were simply a fluke in IPL3.
