Stephano vs HerO

Hero played these games pretty well. Get the feeling Stephano will need to switch to a higher gear if he wants to regularly challenge players at this level. Stephano could search for a better answer against toss air early to mid game. (exception being game 2 where HERO overplayed his air hand).



[SPOILER] Damn. Game 1 Hero handled Stephano's first "death ball" of infestors and brood lords absolutely perfectly.



in game 2 heros mistake gave him a nice win:) real heeeero! :D



Pretty terrible move in game 3 by Stephano to try that roach drop. He was so far ahead and that move just ended up outright losing him the game.



complete demonstration of difference between foreign protosses and Korean protosses


if they had played best of 7 or 9 like IPL fight club, the matches were probably a lot more closer but still

you can see the difference between protosses from different regions.



I feel like Stephano has been searching for different ZvP builds lately...notice even his win percentage on ladder is slightly down this season and he doesn't max out on roaches every game even though he would likely shit on most protoss players he comes across with it.....I think he's looking for the next build to use in Korea or set of builds



This match was bananas. B A N A N A S. Hero played pretty ridiculously, even winning game 3 with the warpgate blunder.

I think it's funny that so many casters think Stephano's macro is perfect, when it's not even his strong point -- his decision making, scouting, build-reading and engagement choosing are his strong points. I see him build 5+ overlords at a time after he gets supply blocked almost every game. I remember seeing an interview where he was asked basically "what happened when you had to build those 10 overlords at the same time?" and he responded "I know right!? And I still win!"



Uncharacteristically bad play from Stephano. I've never seen his macro that bad.
