He said he'd probably quit if he does poorly at IPL... I don't think losing in the semis and only losing to MKP/Nestea/MMA is doing poorly. Even if he quit he still has 5 months ahead of him

This last bo3 was a bit disapointing, but he had a great run nonetheless. And losing to the best ZvZer and the best TvZer is not something to be ashamed of...

Well i have nothing against Millenium but i think a new contract by something like EG could make Stephano stay one more year. Hope he can cope with that loss he has just not so much practice with a terra like mma (mma >> polt in tvz).

if he quits that will suck.

it was nice having a foreigner make it to the top 8 in a stacked Korean heavy tourney once in awhile.

once hes gone that wont happen anymore.

I disagree a lot here!

He lost because he made mistakes and played under his potential...

If he would have busted MMA on cloudkdm - what would you say then? if he wins the coinflip vs NesTea on taldarim?
Metropolis was over when the 3rd got sniped - everything afterwards was SHOW!!!

Stephano showed once again S - class gameplay and skill -

It would be a SHAME if he retires!

E: I really hope Stephano does hear the Koreans opinion over yours guys.
literally every GSL player names him the best foreigner and show deep respect

Now the major question: can someone please tell me how to beat MMA`s style TXZ?

People say Stephano didnt make any spines or banelings (in game 1 at least), but come on, do you really think terrans are going to be afraid of spines considering they can just put the units in a good position when they`ll be out of spine`s range?

Good try Stephano. You didn't look your usual form in game 2, but that's okay. You were facing arguably the best TvZer in the world. Great show overall this weekend, you should be proud!

5/6th same finish as MKP, not bad at all. Pretty insane actually.

Keep playing Stephano, see you @ IPL5

It took the best ZvZ player in the world to (barely, with 2 coinflip all-ins and being dominated in the only macro-game) knock Stephano out of the WB, and the best TvZ player in the world by hundred miles to knock him out. No shame in that. Good tournament for him, he showed he definitely is the best foreigner and that he is code S level (not GSL winner level tho ) Had he more training with such high level opponents he could have done better, imho he is better than Nestea in many aspects (and weaker in others, but he is getting there). I'd say in the current state of the game best TvZ terrans are not possible for him to beat though, it takes DRG in godmode to barely challenge them.

Bad style vs MMA, he won the game when he denied 3rd for so long, and stephano couldnt put a pressure back. The second part of the game was just a big show. But people shouldnt read to much into it, stephano definately needs to start practicing vs Korean terrans or he will never really adress this style of play. No amount of vs Kas or Thorzain practice will bring him to even scratch MMA, sad but true.

As everyone, hope he will continue to play another year.

Good job on the 5/6th, still can't believe some people keep hating, when you see that in the top 18 he's the only foreigner...

I wish he could practice more with players like MMA/Nestea etc... that would definitely help him more than playing on the EU/NA ladders. meh..
To the bank.

Stephano choked and MMA took full advantage of it, stephano should all in if he recognized the situation, because you cant play defensive style withouyt mutalisk vs that heavy harrassment in those position, you basically cant take more than 3 bases, period and he was even denied on 3rd...

Amazing tournament Stephano, congratz

It would be so good to see you train in Korea once more. I'm sure that with good practice you can beat the best Korean Ts.

It would also be great to see you at the next MLG events especially if you can make it to pool play.

MMA often falls for Roach Ling busts (by cutting corners-early 3rd etc) if Stephano would have been able to do that
-he could potentially have won in a 2:0 sweep

but gambling is not what Stephano does...

yea I really wonder how he wants to improve now.

There are really no practice partners outside Korea...
without beeing disrespectful - even eG cant provide that calibre of players required to push Stephanos limit to his skillcap
