[M] Ivaldir : Salut Stephano. Tu reviens tout juste de Finlande où s'est déroulé l'Assembly Winter. Félicitations pour ton parcours. Même si tu perds en finale, ce résultat reste une sacrée performance. Comment te sens-tu ? [M] Stephano: Salut, je suis heureux d'avoir réussi a me hisser dans le Top 3, j'ai eu un bracket assez favorable au début, mais il fallait bien que je rencontre Polt à un moment ou à un autre, et je savais de quelle façon ça allait se terminer. Donc pas de remords! En effet tu es plutôt à l'aise en ZvP en ce moment. Au moment de ta défaite contre elfi, tu étais à 30 victoires consécutives contre Protoss en tournoi officiel, Il te prend la 1ère game, comment te sens-tu à ce moment-là ? Ça ne m'a pas spécialement dérangé de perdre la 1ère partie, j'ai globalement fait ce qu'il y avait à faire, alors que de son côté il a joué très risqué en allant directement sur le perfect counter de ma stratégie sans vraiment scouter. Ce genre de build ne peut pas passer deux fois lors d'un même match. J'étais presque sûr de remporter les deux prochaines maps. Demi-finale contre PuMa. Tout le monde prédit une victoire serrée. Au contraire, tu t'imposes avec beaucoup de facilité même si les 15 premières minutes sur Cloud Kingdom sont indécises. Tu te permets même deux manner hatchs dans la série. T'attendais-tu à gagner si facilement ? J'ai rencontré PuMa plusieurs fois lors de mon séjour en Corée sur le Ladder, et sa façon de jouer ne m'a pas spécialement impressionné. Malgré ça, avant le match, je ne me voyais pas l'emporter si facilement étant donné que mon entraînement contre Terran est proche du néant sur les 2 derniers mois. Pour revenir à la finale, quelles ont été tes principales erreurs selon toi ? Je suis globalement très satisfait par le jeu que j'ai proposé en finale, s'il y avait une grosse erreur à pointer ça serait le manque d'information sur la position de l'armée adverse. J'aurais peut être dû utiliser plus les Infesteurs burrow pour savoir si ses Tanks sont siégés ou pas. Tu vas pouvoir prendre ta revanche dès mercredi soir en demi-finale de la MSI Pro Cup February. Comment comptes-tu prendre le dessus ? Encore une fois, je me vois mal l'emporter, on peut presque appeler Polt ma bête noire. Je ne vais pas spécialement changer mon style de jeu, je vais juste essayer d'avoir un meilleur map control et prise de fight. Tu as dis, durant la Lan Assembly, que le soutien des spectateurs et de tes fans te donnait envie de continuer ta carrière professionnelle l'année prochaine ? Qu'en est-il maintenant ? Je suis toujours en train de réfléchir à la question, l'idée de continuer était presque obsolète il y a 5 mois, mais maintenant elle ne m'a pas l'air si ridicule que ça, mais pas de faux espoir, je ferais savoir le peuple dès que je me serais décidé : ) Et la Corée, tu y penses encore ou c'est définitivement non ? Imaginons que tu sois invité en Code S ! Être installé en Corée, c'est un non pour sûr, mais y refaire un séjour d'une dizaine de jours pour m'améliorer, pourquoi pas. Sinon à propos de la GSL c'est une question de planning principalement, si je peux rester en Corée pour y participer sans pour autant rater des gros évents en Europe ou aux États-Unis, je le ferais. Quels sont tes plans pour les deux prochains mois ? Un voyage aux États-Unis pour le show match IPL et le Lone Star Clash puis un second pour l'IPL 4. Enfin, tes projets concernant la Millenium House ? J'ai quitté la Millenium House depuis mon voyage à la Lan Assembly, je ne compte pas y repasser avant quelques mois faute de temps et aussi parce que mon chez moi me manque un peu, ça fait presque trois mois que je ne suis pas allé a Toulouse. Si tu veux rajouter quelque chose, je t'en prie. Comme toujours j'aimerais remercier ma famille pour son soutien, mes supporters qui ne sont pas si insignifiants que ça à mes yeux (si je change d'avis à propos de l'année prochaine, c'est en partie grâce aux messages de soutien que je reçois sur ma boite mail), mes deux "acolytes" (Kyrria et Nokhs) qui font un travail énorme pour m'aider au niveau du stream, de la gestion de ma page facebook, de mon twitter et bien évidemment Millenium pour son soutien grâce a nos Sponsors Cdiscount, MSI, Winamax, GEIL, Thortech et EpicGear. I'm going to attempt a translation, there is quite a few interesting thing. | ||

[M] Ivaldir : Hi Stephano, you just came back from assembly winter.Congratulation on your run there. Even if you lost in the finals, it's a very good result.How do you feel about it ? [M] Stephano: Hi, I'm happy to be in the top 3,I had an easy bracket in the start, but I knew I would have to face Polt eventually, and I expected the outcome so no regrets ! True, you are very comfortable in the ZvP match up this days.When you lost your first game against elfi, you had a 30 win streak against protoss in official tournaments, how did you feel when you lost that game ? It wasn't a big deal,I think I did the right thing, unlike him who went for a blind hard counter of my build without even scouting. That kind of build can't work more than once. I was very confident about winning the next 2 maps. Next was the semi final against Puma. Everyone predicted some close games. But it was the opposite you won with a lot of ease even if the first 15 minutes on cloud kingdom were undeceive. You even allowed yourself to build 2 manner hatches. Did you expect to win that easily ? I've met Puma multiple times during my stay in Korea on the ladder,and his playstyle don't really impress me. But I wasn't expecting to win that easily, my ZvT training is almost non existent since 2 months. Let's talk about the finals, what were the main mistakes you did in your opinion ? I'm globally satisfied by my play during the finals, if I had to pin point a mistake I would say the lack of information about his army movement. I maybe should have used burrowed infestors more to get information about the position of his tanks. You will be able to avenge yourself Wednesday night in the semi final of the MSI Pro Cup February. What will you do to ensure your victory ? Once again, I'm really not confident about beating him, we can call Polt my bête noire (sorry don't remember how to translate that). I'm not really going to change my playstyle, I will just try to have a better map control and take better fights. You said,during assembly, that the support of your fans makes you want to continue your professional gaming carrier ? Where do you stand right now ? I'm still thinking about it,5 months ago there was no way I was going to keep playing, but now that idea doesn't sound as ridiculous as before,but I don't want to create false hopes,I will let my fans know as soon as I know : ) And Korea ???(YES PLEASE KOREA), Do you still think about it ? Imagine you get a Code S seed! Staying there for a long time, it's no for sure, but to go there for 10 days to get better, why not. Concerning GSL it's mainly a schedule issue, If I can stay in korea without missing big NA/EU tournaments, I will do it. What's your plans for the next 2 months ? A trip to the USA (USA USA!!!) for the IPL showmatch and the Lone Star Clash and another trip for IPL 4. At last, your plans concerning the Millenium House ? I left the house for my trip to the Assembly Lan, I'm not going back there for a few months for the lack of time and I miss my home, it's been almost three months that I didn't see Toulouse. Do you have anything to add ? I would like to thank my family for their support, my fans that means to me much more than it looks like (if I change my mind for next year, it's partly because of the support emails I received), my 2 "acolytes" (Kyrria et Nokhs) ,they do a big work and help me a lot with the stream, my facebook page, and my twitter and my team Millenium for their support and our sponsors : Cdiscount, MSI, Winamax, GEIL, Thortech et EpicGear. | ||

About MLG, the thing is he doesn't like the system where some players have to do 10 more bo3 than the others, it's not very fair... Anyways, MLG with their 20$ paywall for special events lost a lot of my respect... | ||

I am hoping that Stephano can beat Polt this week in MSI. Obviously I would hope for that anyway, being a Stephano fan, but I think it could be important for Stephano's mental state for him to get another win over Polt. I think that Grubby and Mana and Bling cannot really beat Stephano these days partly because of their numerous past losses to him getting in their heads. I don't want Stephano getting into a similar situation with Polt, especially as Polt plays in a lot of European tournaments. Anyway, Stephano acknowledges that he has not worked on his anti-Terran game recently. Hopefully he can get to work on that and improve this aspect of his play, which is probably his biggest weakness. It is relative though, as he can still beat Thorzain regularly and crushed Puma. As mentioned upthread, Stephano could do with another Terran practice partner. Maybe Alive or MKP or even Polt? | ||

I have just analysed and watched his replay from assemply and then compared them to lucky´s replay. if you look close and in dept you can really see a huge difference I didnt even knew Stephano had so much apm its quit insane. Also the trick he does with the infestor eggs to locate tank fire is brilliant never seen any other zerg do that | ||
