Lol, he's so full of shit.


Anyone that reinvents the Zerg metagame three times in one year probably has some decent learning skills :p


can you list those three times?

1. 200 roach
2. early 3rd hatch zvz
3. ?


3. Ling Bling fast upgrades ZvT. It was earlier in the year, but it was certainly there. Notably, TLO used that style to take down MKP in IPLTAC2 if I recall. At the time, I was, --and perhaps still am-- more of a TLO fan than a Stephano fan, but I gotta respect where he learned that move.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

there are no banelings. If youre talking about the style stephano played for a long time previous to that TLO vs MKP game, it was just lots of upgraded speedlings with backstabs and runbys and shit, then adding infestors and staying in the midgame for a long time, and then eventually adding broods.

then he invented 12 min roach max zvp

then this early 3rd hatch zvz shenanigans

Don't see Stephano doing well this round with the practice mentality he has right now...

worked for him so far

cause he was playing against people with same shit practice mentality as himself.

also, that SPL R2 recap article said the interview was quite arrogant, where exactly?

I still wonder why some of questions are actually not questions. E.g.

You came to the studio immediately after you arrived.



You get to participate in Proleague.


Sure one could guess, but it seems like they're too lazy to use a few more words to ask properly.

This is sc2, not bw. There is no need to practice 10 hours/day and study your opponent like crazy.

That's actually a very common way to ask a question in Korean. The "tell us something about.../what are you're feelings about..." is implied. Korean grammar allows for that to make complete sense without the interviewer appearing lazy or dyslexic.

We will probably add in a near future his roach hydra, into hydra ultra ZvT into this list. If I'm not mistaking he hasn't lost yet with it, and has beaten MKP, MMA, Ganzi with it.
Not standard metagame, but becoming usual for him.

A short but sweet interview. It was exciting to watch Stephano in PL today.

I was very moved by Revival's victory against Rain.

Does he look moved to you?
