My heart says "Stephano" and my brain says "Stephano" I have nothing against WR, but i'm expecting/hoping for total domination - 5:0. |

while naniwa is certainly the "better" player, again, especially in terms of consistency, I for one would already be in bed and not hoarding hills of junkfood on my desk, sitting with a dozen people in Teamspeak eagerly awaiting the match, instead of watching naniwa and stephano duke it out. No offense, but for a "top level" showmatch get DRG and MC or Genius or whatever, so you get your every GSL day high level play. But White-Ra? That's a game of chance. He either demolishes or gets demolished. He CAN beat everybody I'm quite sure of that, just not consitantely. So he makes for a MUCH MUCH more entertaining contender for a showmatch if you ask my humble opinion. In fact there is NO ONE I enjoy watching more then him. Plus, I don't like probe rushes
You're in the minority and I don't think you'd be saying that if/when Stephano 5-0's him. |

I know he's an excellent player and has a hype train a mile long, but White-Ra seems to shine in these types of situations, GSL Korea vs World anyone? Don't count White-Ra out.
A best of one PvP coinflip all in has very little to do with winning in a PvZ best of 9.
Have you seen the game? I know PvP is usually a coinflip but that one certainly wasn't. White-Ra's BO was better in that situation but MC had close position 4gate and it came down to White-Ra out-microing MC. But yeah, that doesn't have much to say about a PvZ
A Warp Prism 4 gate all in in PvP (especially pre all the 4 gate nerfs and warp in nerfs) is about as risky as it gets. It's a coinflip. That's fine because everyone does those kind of massive risky builds in PvP it's part of the matchup, but don't pretend it's some super skill based build. You should also remember that old warp prisms were made of glass so there was a huge chance his warp prism gets shot down and he auto loses. White Ra took a huge risk, he won a best of one. The end.
just because he took a risk doesnt mean he played bad, the defensive control of the warp prisem was crazy good, at a point were he needed it and was almost dead(he just had an inferior army).

I dont and I am a very big Stephano fan but White-ra is a legend so hope he wins some maps with his special tactics. Also since its a showmatch maybe Stephano will try something new also lets see |

| I don't know if Stephano is physically capable of losing to a foreigner protoss, but I sure hope White-Ra has come up with some special tactics to take a few games |

There's absolutely nothing wrong with risks in PvP (or any matchups, every player should all in around 1 in 3/4 games) but I think it's really dumb when people say someone got outplayed because they lost to something like that. It's no more outplaying MC than MC outplaying White Ra by building gateways in White Ra's main.

I really didn't think Stephano was such a gambler. He seemed more to me like the safe guy. Maybe he is really really confident he will win though, but Nani beating Leenock and Nestea should make him worried. |

If you can easily make 5000/week I guess 5000 is not that much. |
