You are coming to WCS France as the huge favorite, however are you afraid of some players ?
I'm not fearing anybody but i'm careful against every zergs
About that, we saw you having a lot of difficulties in ZvZ lately, and you will probably have to face a lot of zergs this week-end, did you practice that match-up ?
I think this is a match up that isn't really about skill but more about the opening build, which puts me at the same level as other zergs. I didn't practice it because i just can't enjoy working on it
What are your top3 picks ?
I would say Me, Kleenex, Dayshi and maybe Eeel
Any last words ?
I am sorry about all the forfeits and i will try to make up for that
I did it quickly, if ssomebody feels that there are mistake or if it's poorly worded just make another one, however it wasn't very long and very complicated so i don't think there are a lot.
Wasn't he living in the Millenium house? Or did that disband?

Stephano has been in Paris since returning from his trip to America. Not sure about his living environment in Paris.
Next weekend he is off to Canada for the NASL 3 Finals.

Congratulation Stephano officially French champion and 6k dollars to the bank not bad for a weekend work!

Winning the national championship of your country without dropping a map - standard 
Gratz!

Don't think he work a bit for this victory, as he say at the pre-final interview : "the cup as been mine before it even started" And after the final : "it was easy, but it's nice to play in front of a french audience and his family". look like holliday in paris, not work !
:p
GG well played. right now he his so much above the rest of the french scene.

lol at the trophy interview.
Question : are you happy .. blabla ... Stephano : Yes, i'm happy to get a this big trophy, i will be perfect at home !
Question : do you think you can win europe and world ? Stephano : europe, it seams doable, not super easy, but i can win, for the world it will be really hard, but with a lot of work it's possible.

Congrats to Stephano. A perfect tournament and another $6,000 in his pile of tournament winnings, now up to around $129,500! He overtakes MVP in prize money for 2012 so far.

Hmm, pretty sick that stephano exactly called the top 4.

Nerchio seams to find just the good way to beat MC, Stephano go watch that !
(MC was always hard adversary for stephano)

it wasn't really hard

Does anybody know why stephano is qualified either to europe and world championship ? Seems that Socke is also in the same situation according to Liquipedia.

Stephano has not qualified for one or the other, he has qualified for BOTH! So two more major tournaments for him lined up (for Socke too). France WCS have Top 3 qualifying to European Championship. In addition the winner of France WCS qualifies to World Championship too.
There will be $60,000 in total prize money for the WCS Euro's! And probably at least the same for the World's too. So lots more money to play for. So it was much more lucrative for Stephano to choose France WCS over HSC as he has $6000 already won with the additional chance to win a lot more at two more big WCS tournaments.

Thx. Great combo by stephano. I Hope he'll prepare and play seriously these tournaments, he has still so much potential left and un-used....
I'm really waiting to see him play at the top of the world level
