Everyone is scared of this kid... To think he will/or is playing full-time is a scary scary thought. He is unreal.

Complexity is becoming a very strong team!
|
Stephano is so hyped it would be sick to finally see him at an MLG.
|
Knew it was going to happen! Great pick up :D
|
Wow great job, Complexity, on getting an absolutely top notch Zerg player who is only going to improve since he's taking a leave from school.
Congrats.

He very well could be. If he went to Korea, I wouldn't be surprised if he became top 3 Zergs in the world.

Complexity used to have a pretty massive roster and after their acquisition of ROOT, it became obvious that some of their older roster wasn't really there competitively when every clan war consisted of the former-ROOT players and Cruncher.
Along with more serious pickups and partnerships, it should be expected that some of the older squad would be dropped eventually. Complexity's Starcraft 2 squad is relatively tight now and pretty strong overall with the standouts being Catz, Cruncher, TriMaster, Drewbie, Minigun and Stephano.
Ryze and RSVP are pretty good too, I don't think I've even seen Ryan play recently though so I don't know what to say there. Overall though, I'm glad that Complexity is tightening it's roster and making some good pickups. I'm also glad they're not just dropping everyone from their old roster and keeping only the players I mentioned as standouts, as long as a player is committed to Starcraft 2 and decent, with partnerships and opportunities like the MVP house, improvement is possible as long as the drive is there. When results aren't there and a player doesn't seem to be willing or able to put in the effort to make up for it, that's when it makes sense to drop them.
Anyways, awesome pickup, great for Complexity.

An excellent pick up for complexity
|
Well I certainly got blind sighted with this one, amazing pickup though and Stephano owns, GL!
|
Hands down the best addition to coL. Great pickup - congrats.
|

he's good, but he is abusing infestors and that's all I've seen him do. In the IPL
+ Show Spoiler +he is currently facing MMA and the score is 1-1. First game stephano was behind in supply the whole game and surely was losing but infestors being cost effective, wins him the game. Game 2 MMA figures out his style and bunker pushes knowing infestors can't do a thing against them.
I'm not hating and it's obvious he is better than destiny who hasn't put up any results like stephano but he is definitely abusing infestors in every match up. I'm wondering if this guy can even play reactive.

I love how this happens as Millenium is starting a pro-gaming house.

coL and MVP are two different teams, it's just like SK and oGs, MC only uses the SK tag when playing internationally. So if this allows coL to train with MVP that's great but I kind of doubt that was the deal that was arranged. Is drewbie training with MVP? I know he is on coL and is in korea, if he isn't training with MVP then I dunno why stephano took this deal. Must be that coL has more money than millennium and can send him to all of the MLG's, IEMs and possibly GSL.
lol, and coL gave up firezerg and stalife? I think stalife is actually really good, they must be trying to free up their payroll for stephano...
Drewbie is in the MVP house so I assume he is training with the MVP players. I'm sure this played a huge role in Stephano's decision, along with the money that complexity has of course.

does this mean he will be playing in foreign tourneys? im excited to see him in a foreign tourney so we can see how he fairs against players like Machine and Axslave.
|
wow thats huge pickup for col, gratz to them and Stephano!
so excited that i am gonna see Stephano in more tournaments now!

Stephano is not "abusing infestors". I see him play since the first egg-one star league (french league, when he was one of the 16 invited players and everybody thought he wasnt good enough ... see ?), and he's still one of my favorite players, and he used many styles, muta heavy, fast ultra, and yes, sometimes, infestors.
But no, he's not "abusing infestors".
About CoL and Millenium ... well, it's very sad for Millenium which will disappear for sure if they don't add any good player in their line-up.
Stephano is gone, ToD is gone. Stephano was the better player, along with Tarson while ToD was the most famous. They still had Tarson, Diestar, Lalush and Adelscott, who are very good player ... but seriously, they are like Cruncher, TriMaster or Minigun : good, but not excellent player.
It was obvious that Stephano was going to leave M, but i thought it was for a really good team, i mean, like mousesports or EG, not a middle-class team like CoL.
Well, good luck to him, i'll continue to chear for him.
im excited to see him in a foreign tourney so we can see how he fairs against players like Machine and Axslave.
What the hell ? He is going to crush player like them. It's like if you said "Oh, i'm excited to see him play against players like Kalin and TLO"

kinda feel bad for Millenium, they have a habit of building up sick players who then get siphoned off by american teams. Obviously a massive opportunity for stephano tho, looking forward to some sick play (and hopefully a stint in the mvp house).
|
wow now i have no reason to hate coL
Biggest pickup after HuK
