Millenium's Stephano is the second grand finalist of Assembly Winter, remaining the only foreigner still standing in the tournament. In the semi-finals, Stephano met Puma and unleashed all hell upon the EG terran, giving him little to no chance of victory.
Set one was played on Cloud Kingdom with Puma being a constant nuisance, preventing Stephano to take a fourth for a long time. The terran's presence ended as a giant fungal plus an ultralisk surround cleaned the better part of Puma's army. From that point on, Stephano snowballed out of control, having every type of tier 3 tech out and battering Puma down to the GG.
Game two on Antiga Shipyard saw Stephano perfectly repelling Puma's hellion harassment and finishing him up with a greatly timed bust of nearly 20 banelings. The final set was played out on Shakuras Plateau with Stephano once again deciding not prolonging the game to the later stages and opening with a roach/speedling bust. Although Puma successfully defended against the first wave, the constant stream of units down his main was just too much and the Korean had to type out.
Stephano will be facing Polt in the Assembly Winter grand final, while Puma drops down to the 3rd/4th place match and is to play Lucky.
