Stephano vs SaSe

Wow great games. Stephano still rocks.



SO many commercials i can understand one in the beginning but three commercials for a 15 minute video.. ouch time to start looking for a better site



@#2..
Use google chrome. i have 0 ads.



@2 or install Adblock plus for Firefox



if i use google chrome i get adds



How can you cut the commercials? I thought they are embedded into the video.



Oh come one. You get to use this site for free, you get to watch these videos for free ... you can survive a few ads. Remember it helps MLG make money to produce more events like these. Also all the content on this site is aggregated and entered in by the developer. I appreciate that he takes all his time to do this and have once place I can go to watch all of these, click on an ad watch a ad ... it helps create more free content for us.



Just like they said, I wonder why Stephano didn't bother scouting on game 3. He was over confident I think.



Thanks Yossarian2 :)



#7 true words. Sick games! Immortal Sentry really giving Toss a chance vs Stephano these days.



I didn't mind the ads, but sometimes often it got stuck where an ad was supposed to be. Unacceptable.



#11 Yeah I hate that too ....



absolutely don't mind the ads, but before getting adblocker, i had to reload a video 6 times to get it to start, and then 4 times during the video after the ads froze.

would be happy to watch the ads when they stop freezing the games.



Yeah, I re-enabled my adblock+ on chrome just for the freezing. When I stop seeing these complaints in chat, then I'll probably disable it again, because I really want esports to grow, and ad revenue is a big part of income for tournaments and streamers.



I have a few thoughts on this series. In game 1, both players were going for a standard macro game in which Stephano just straight up played better and won. At this point in the tournament, Stephano had been crushing all of the protosses that he had played against, so he started to get cocky. In game 2, I think he wanted to show everyone that he could win with more than just his signature roach/infestor standard playstyle and than he had some all-in's of his own. In my opinion, this is really stupid because he has proven time and time again that he can win consistently by just using his standard playstyle. Anyways, obviously his all-in horribly backfired and then he proved how good he was again by almost holding what the casters made out to be an unholdable situation. At this point, tied 1-1, SaSe realized that he wouldn't be able to beat Stephano in a straight up macro game and that the only chance he had at beating him would be to 2 base all-in and hope for Stephano to make a mistake. After all, a risky situation that you might win is much better than a slow, painful, certain death in a macro game. So, he went for it and, as was mentioned earlier, Stephano did make a mistake and didn't scout, so SaSe's risk paid off. All in all, I think that Stephano was certainly the better player but he threw away the series with a couple stupid decisions. If he wants to improve his performance, I really think he needs to learn to not get so cocky and just stick with his tried and true Stephano-style



Do you think the roaches would have worked against 2 base immortal/sentry? Then once he adds zealots/stalkers, it would be over. Sase played well, he deserves credit.



On the ads, I agree completely--we should definitely be watching these ads. They keep great content and great sites like these free. However, their ad system is a bit quirky as sometimes the videos will simply crash when the ad tries to load. With that fixed, I'm a happy camper.



I'm fine watching ads, just not in the middle of the game. If you want to show me 3 ads over the course of the video, show them all at the start so they don't interrupt the action.



That would be nice, but it isn't as effective. Advertisers know that is inefffective advertising and wouldn't pay as much--people will often let the ads play while they do something else then come back for the game.



@ #15 you make it sound like a 2 base all-in is somehow cheesy vs. Zerg or as if it requires less skill than maxing as zerg. In a PvZ series these days it's usually necessary for the protoss to take at least one game using a 2 base all-in or they will probably lose the series. Going straight up macro several games in a row vs. a zerg is not smart. (Every time MC beats a zerg, there's are 2 base all-ins involved)
