I like grubby but he definitely played below potential. i can imagine a korean code s protoss dominate far easily and harder, he was just struggling to keep up but managed to win with the early advantage.

Yeah lol, I think without Stephano we won't get there tonight , but it's still nice .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The game was over long ago when Stephano just evaporated against the first Airtoss ball. Zerg still need to find out how to break this hard flying nut IMHO.

Fly over A LOT of Archons to target Voids...

Zergs seriously aren't used to concept of micro whatsoever. Bl/Infestor was so bad for the skillcap of Zerg pros.


No idd, that was it.. That move by Stephano says that the micro of Life today was a lie.

He conceeded the game, lasted long enough, he lost. Best to get it over with instead of rebuilding the same 2 hatcheries 5 times over.

I believe Grubby practiced HotS a lot more than Stephano, so not too surprising I guess.

We don't know that yet. As it is now Zerg should punish Protoss before he reaches air deathball so the late game levels out. If this is imbalanced, what is easier or harder is impossible to know yet.

Grubby's deathball is not that good though, he should replace the tempests with more voidrays, only have 2-3 archons, 1-2 templars and maybe 8 zealots. That army would litteraly kill anything stephano could produce.


Actually that much archons won him the game, because all you can do vs. that are ultras, and they were too expensive for stephano to produce.

If grubby didn't had that much archons he would prolly lost the game due to 20 corruptors + infestors.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity
