oh, and a great set of games once again. thx for the fight club, IGN!
I think that would be awesome. Two unorthodox but solid players who are great at that particular matchup, emptying out their reserves of builds over the course of a Bo9. Only problem would be if Stephano has to go to bed...
Just kidding, I don't think Stephano will make that mistake again.

HerO 3-0 in IPL FC. Great to be able to watch my favorite player of all time go at it in pro matches. Wonder who's his next opponent
|
plz bring out The french tickler... STEPHANO!
|
Stephano is really a good choice to take down Hero, but I wonder in case he failed, which foreigner would be suitable?
|
HERO NEEDS MORE OFFERINGS. Ah, so glad that he won against tzain... all the games I tuned into were losses. >.<
|
I saw Stephano practice 4 really long drawn out games against HerO on his stream...each time HerO dominated him completely until he got more and more frustrated and finally stopped playing. I'd love to see a grudge match.

One of the new Complexity pickups would be a good opponent to pick next. I wouldn't mind seeing Stephano either.
|
Grats to HerO 3-0 impressive stuff, can't wait for the euro replay.

Honestly I think the amount of players you can send at Hero is quite limited. I doubt that IPL will want to send a challenger of the same race as the last one, create a mirror matchup or ask a someone who has been there before. (Never happened / Happened only once, Kas-Ganzi / Never Happened).
Personally I feel that TvT can work (assuming you don't use 2 players that are known Mechers, that takes forever) as can ZvZ. Don't think that people would accept a BO9 PvP though.
Looking at what I said before you'd be looking at a Zerg that can realistically challenge Hero. If you'd want foreign zergs I feel that the list would start at Stephano and also have Ret and Sen on it. (Although Ret would make it a team kill). When looking at Koreans I feel that there also wouldn't be many that would give the possibility for a long interesting series.
Seems like IPL has a challenge in finding a good challenger.

Considering IdrA's recent results it makes no difference at all whether you would invite Destiny, IdrA, Day9 or Artosis. None of them would be even remotely a challenge and only be done to hype in viewers.

We will likely delay one week due to Assembly and MLG Arena. Both because of the competition and from the scheduling issues around everyone flying to one or the other event. But I will say I am extremely excited for our next player, who has recently been receiving a lot of attention.
|
Ah of course, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the early notice on that.
|
A rising star? Will it be Feast, Illusion or a Korean like Parting? I can't wait
|
I would personally love to see Feast on a stage like this but I doubt that IPL would make it a PvP.

We try to avoid mirror matches, but cycle the races shown as often as possible.
Normally what happens is for example if we have a PvT for that week we line up a Zerg to play whoever wins.
