I usually love these recap but this time I feel it didn't do the games justice... Stephano and Nerchio played twice in very entertaining series that included an amazing defense of a ling all-in by stephano, and in the swarm hosts game a really crazy comeback that would deserve at least a mention.

I completely totally agree. Describing it as "swarm host stalemate" misleads the reader to believe it was a locust vs locust snooze fest, when really the game was quite the opposite!
"I like the new weapon, it's solid removal with a really nice deathrattle in a mech deck. The murloc is a little confusing though, not sure why they thought shamans needed a murloc."

Poor Demuslim, getting rekt by his own team.


Isn't Nerchio a part time progamer as well since he's still in school? Anyways, the retirement thing is pretty convenient nowadays: If you play and lose, you can control expectations by claiming that you are retired. But if you win, you can claim that you are winning based on pure talent.

While Nerchio has been a long time Bm-er and instigator, I don't understand all the stephano support. He's always streaming and was in the LSC as well as premier league, which doesn't strike me as retired.

I can't help but think that the willingness to play swarm host v. swarm host when other people aren't willing to suffer through those types of games will be a big competitive advantage going forward.


yes, there's something admirable about Stephano's willingness to suffer a little to gain an advatange

it's like if an MMA fighter went into fights reeking because he didn't bathe for three months. it's pretty gross, but you have to respect his dedication to winning :D


No, I don't think Stephano is suffering in those games. I think he gets a rationalized enjoyment of watching his opponent try to figure out how to wade through waves of disposable units. It's both sick yet understandable, given his disdain of swarm hosts.

yea i agree. just because you go to school doesnt mean youre not a pro gamer. If you practice and play as many tournaments as you can youre still a pro. Polt goes to school full time as well. No one says hes a retired player.

Retired or not, the risk of SH stalemates in Ro16 just got severely reduced. I'm happy for that.

Happy Nerchio made it he deserved it. Stephano playstyle is so boring (as a watcher, I dont play the game anymore)

Nice ragetweet by Stephano btw ~

Bming on twitter after winning a close serie is not classy at all from Nerchio. Maybe he was angry because he just lost the last bo3 to a retired player. This final bo3 could have gone either way, my guess is Nerchio can't stand the fact that even with few practice, stephano is really close to his level.

That TAiLS cannon rush by Welmu on Habitation Station was awesome (vod). Stephano said "Never saw that coming" at the end, and I don't think many did either.

Hasn't this always been Stephano's style? Claim he never practices and wins through his sheer genis, but loses because he didn't really bother to practice for the game...

I find it funny that Stephano uses the ''retired'' excuse, when the player who topped the group is also a full time student. :D Gratz Welmu and Nerchio, well deserved wins! ^^

Nerchio acting with little dignity, like usual, harassing the loser on twitter after he has won. Bad taste. He conveniently forgets to mention that he at first loses 1-2 to Stephano, and then barely wins 2-1 in the second series.
