I expect something like 5-2 to Stephano, One or two Speciul Taktiks might surprised him but Stephano his way more solid, especially against Protoss.

sadly Im forced to watch this muted with the worst caster besides HD is casting it... mr pyjamas is just ABSOLUTELY horrible.

But hey, its still an awsome thing this.. my heart wants White Ra to win cause he is such an awsome person even though its being disloyal to my race Z :p. My brain says that its more likely that Stephano wins this 5-0 then white ra winning 2+ sets. 5-0 or 5-1 would be my bets. White Ra simply isnt that good anymore sadly and stephano is easily top 5 ZvP in the world right now. Maybe even top 3.

But hey, 1k$ for the loser seems like a pretty good deal anyways =)

Til next showmatch you might want to pick a more even fight.. I get that this is two winners and probably two of the most popular but it most likely will be a bit to onesided event for 5k$
