Another $1000 for Stephano's prize fund for him winning the MSI Pro Cup Worldwide EU Qualifier! Obviously he also has now qualified, alongside Lucifron, for the MSI Pro Cup Worldwide Championship. Well played, Stephano. | ||

Well played, Stephano. $800 actually, $1000 is the total prizepool (at least according to LPedia) | ||

He just keep winning tournament after tournament! That is not true at all. Though good arguments can be made for stephano I would say that IdrA was more accomplished in his own way. He was the most skilled and arguably the most talented foreigner in BW (He still might be for Sc2) which is a harder game than sc2, and maintained a level that could compete with and challenge most koreans progamers. He was on his way to the CJ A team before sc2 came out so you could say that he wasnt even at his peak of potential then. Also for quite some time he was considered the best Sc2 player in the world (mostly during the beta and arguably even shortly after that). I suppose if you rule out BW than perhaps stephano takes the cake but even so valid points for IdrA being more "successful" can even be made for his Sc2 career. | ||

I suppose if you rule out BW than perhaps stephano takes the cake but even so valid points for IdrA being more "successful" can even be made for his Sc2 career. While I don't neccessarily agree with Ben's statement, I think it is quite clear that Stephano has accomplished more than any other Foreign SC2 players. Obviously there are players like Huk, Idra, Jinro, Naniwa and others too who have accomplished great things but you can also say that this was before the era of Stephano, with the exception of Naniwa. BW careers are something entirely different. No-one adds up Grubby's achievements in WCS to his SC2 career. They are two distinct things. Idra was good at BW. He was one of the best Zergs around in SC2 for a while and won tournaments. So he deserves great credit for that. He certainly helped grow the SC2 foreign scene. I am not going to diminish or belittle his achievements. Look at how consistent Stephano has been since becoming Pro. He has almost won $200,000 in prize money alone, in just over a year. Only MC is accruing prize-money at such a rate in 2012. It's mind-boggling how consistent Stephano has been, especially when you consider that SC2 is a game where win rates of 66% are consider excellent. I never expected Stephano to be so good, he has improved massively since January. If he actually trained harder with more focus who knows what he could achieve? It's unprecedented to see a Foreigner do so consistently well in SC2. I also think the competition in 2012 is a lot tougher than last year. | ||

At around 8:20 he comments on the Overlord spread of the two players, which was basically identical, than roughly 5-10 seconds later he apparently wonders "Now why would he tag all my overlords..." and starts pulling all his overlords back and starts preparing for Mutalisk. So smart. Stephano's game sense is uncanny. His understanding of Zerg play is incredible. All these games against Vortix are good practice for his ZvZ. I need to rewatch that series again to understand how he managed to win when his opponent was on Ultra and he was still stuck without Hive tech. | ||

Well the argument can be made but only if you smoking some seriously good weed or is on some kind of LSD. | ||

Idra himself said that towards the beginning he was carried by his mechanics. Furthermore, again from him, he's a slow learner, and so he's falling behind the pack. Don't get me wrong, Idra's a good player with a good work ethic, and he'll inevitably catch up when everyone gets to the top and thus stops running ahead of him, but he's nowhere near as successful as the very best foreigners at the moment, especially Stephano. To even suggest such a thing is possible is either indicative of blind fanboyism or ignorance of the scene at the moment. | ||
