You need to update Nestea's accomplishments...

At the moment, in ZvX I would say Idra.

However, ZvZ remains Nestea's

lol @ EU bias. You say Stephano is top 3 but you say Idra needs to prove himself in GSL. LOL.

Idra is just as good if not better than Stephano, ez.

I would put Idra below every zerg in Code S and Code A until he can prove otherwise, which he hasn't.

Good luck to him though.


IdrA has proved himself. With IEM, ASUS, and MLG hes looking like the absolute best foreigner zerg. At MLG he beat Bomber, Boxer twice, and Hongun. Stephano is good, but to be totally honest, he did not beat any top tier koreans in IPL. He lost to alive, and the only notable he beat was theSTC. He dodged MMA, Puma, and Ryung. I think Ret, Dimaga and Sen are all on the same level or possibly better than Stephano.
Soowoo AD.

IdrA can hardly play ZvP, while NesTea remains a beast at ZvZ and ZvP. Why would you give IdrA an edge in ZvX for god's sake?

Stephanos ZvP and ZvT is worlds ahead of Idra's, also Morrows ZvP is godlike.

Idra isn't the best foreigner Zerg.

Theres also quite alot of Koreans with better ZvX matchups than IdrA.

Stephano is not as good a muta-player as Idra, but besides that I give the upper hand to the frenchie. Crisp, innovative play with great macro and control. Impressive!

Oh, and Idra is probably the one who benefits from preparation against an opponent the most. He's a quick learner and is great at spotting weaknesses if he knows what he's up against.

Not sure if srs...

Name the notable Terrans Stephano has beaten in big tournaments.

Now name the ones IdrA has beaten.
Somewhere, something amazing is waiting to be known.

World's ahead is a huge exaggeration. Stephano's ZvP is probably stronger than idra's, as it seems to be idras weakest matchup. But I'm doubtful about the ZvT, I'd say idra's is a bit farther ahead. Though Stephano's is definitely very strong, not sure how their ZvZ's compare. I'd say morrow is far beneath both of them, as is obvious by his results.

NesTea is definitely the king. His previous match history is there to show it. I think if Idra can start getting control of his temper (It seems lately that he has greatly improved keeping his emotions down) he will just get better and better. Idra does have great mechanics, and if he can fix the emotions his play will definitely get better.

One reason NesTea is just so dang good is that he has incredible game sense. It is amazing to watch him play and see how he responds to stuff, it is extremely impressive.

Are you seriously trying to argue that IdrA, who has 59% winrate against protoss in foreign tournaments, has better zvp than nestea, who has 83% winrate against protoss in GSL?

And Idra doesn't have better zvt than nestea for god's sake. Only zerg with better zvt is DRG.

How the hell is July below Stephano?
He got in a GSL final and was in the semifinals 2gsl's ago as the only non terran knocked out by MVP.
NONE of Stephano's achievements come even close to that...
