It just shows how different ZvZ matchup is, than getting 80 drones and build units and infestors afterwards while teching to broodlords.
This is hilarious whining when applied to Stephano's ZvP, his style is so not "make 80 drones and turtle until infestor broodlord".

yup, but Stephano lost his next match and HerO won his next map, so they have to play again. this is GSL group style
A vs B (1) C vs D (2) winner of first match vs winner of second match (3) loser of first match vs winner of loser match (4) loser of match 4 vs winner of match (5)
winner of match 3 gets first and winner of match 5 gets second
Game 2 started out mirroring game 1, as State went for air while Rain went for a robo. Rain pushed out onto the map, but States Phoenixes forced him back and exchanging a phoenix for a few drones. Both players expanded and kept exchanging blows, state managing to deal a fair amount of damage with his phoenixes. As colossi-production kicked into gear, both players took their third. Rain succesfully harassed the worker-lins with blink-stalkers, which provoked state into aggression. State attacked in a poor angle and with Rain defending from two angles, States army was destroyed and he had to gg.
Rain wins a drawn out game two with solid positional play, 2:0

How the hell was the Idra v Stephano match ?
fairly onesided in favor of idra, 1st game was close until stephano botched a massive attack and the game was over from there, 2nd game idra just kept taking good engagements and handling stephano's harassment well until it was too much for stephano to handle
