]GSL_Whirlwind (SE): Destructible rocks are added to the 2nd expansion Seems like they will take away that super fast 3rd option for zerg on this map. Will be interesting to see how this will affect the game play. | ||

Will be interesting to see how this will affect the game play. The rocks aren't to block the 3rd, but to make the ramps narrower, from what I can tell from the small pictures. It's probably meant to buff Protoss by adding more chokes. | ||

Most amazing FFs that I have seen with no exaggeration. The speed, precision, and effectiveness were simply magical. I won't spoil the results but the series was nail-biting. If Creator doesn't go deep in this season's GSL, toss has little hope. Parting is, well, partying with his new-found wealth, and Squirtle is being disgruntled by jealousy. MC/Huk will do their thing.. which means _______ (insert your own thoughts). I am betting large on Creator this season. The dude deserves as much attention from the community as Leenock does. sry but leenock > creator, he also lost to DRG anyway...... | ||

Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like we're just passing along a cliche here.... He's been studied since he became prominent. EXP. MVP had him in his blizzard cup 2011 group and had his girlfriend record stephano streaming so he could study it. He then used a perfect mass BFH build to crush stephano who was always opening heavy upgraded ling back then. Korean terrans like polt and MKP had a tendency to do marauder hellion pushes to kill him back when he refused to open with roaches in ZvT. They then started doing banshee timings to counter another style he switched to which was weak to it ( was mentioned by commentators when mma did it at ipl 4) Nestea won a game against him at IPL 4 in zvz by abusing his knowledge of stephano's playstyle and using a build that countered how stephano tended to open. ( nestea won the series but it was the first game that was based on counter style play) There are plenty of examples of Koreans and foreigners alike beating Stephano by executing builds meant to counter how he's been playing at the time. It doesn't make him a lesser player nor take away his accomplishments in any way but he is indeed a well studied player. The fact that he wins as much as he does despite being under such heavy watch is a testament to his skill. | ||

Groups luckily aren't completely outrageous for HuK and Stephano, which I'm happy to say. I think a Round of 16 appearance for HuK might be what he needs to get another fire lit under him. G will be cool to watch mainly to see which Taeja shows up, and Group A is definitely the "Well duh" group of death. There are other hard groups, sure, but Group A is crazy. | ||
