Yeah lol, I think without Stephano we won't get there tonight , but it's still nice .

I feel like that match pretty much guranteed we won't get there tonight we'd either lose grubby or stephano's fans lose lose.
Anyway match is over ofc there'd be a drop some are only here for games.

Well, except Protoss isn't weak while getting the deathball.


and the deathball is way scarier.

The map is the problem, it´s hard to counter a toss with those opposing positions. A bigger map and less constrained this turns around very fast.

Those deathballs seem so much more effective, deathballs 2.0 are so scary.

Seriously the people saying "lolz zerg don't know how to micro" because he lost those corrupters at the end, he knew he lost he was typing before quitting.

Also we are talking about Stephano, one of the few zergs (bar the Korean monster zergs) that actually micros his shit.

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.


He let Grubby macro as much as he wanted. He wasn't really doing anything to harass, not to mention that he still continued to make mutas after he saw the swarm of phoenix. So no, nothing is broken, Stephano just didn't try hard enough, and the end game engagement was terrible.

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.

corruptors doesn't kill voidrays, its the other way around. Voidrays are the counters to corruptor. Make corruptors vs voidray and you die as zerg.

Yeah, i was thinking the same. The Roach/Hydra game was pretty fun, but this is just the same bullshit like in Wol, just reversed. Hope they nerf Airtoss sooner rather than later.
