idrA will reach a new level when he will practice with the slayers guys, but if strephano will have a Quality practice with korean players i fear the streangh he might reach

I also think Stephano´s ZvZ is better then Idra however they got 2 difference styles of ZvT
Idra is a high econ zerg who favors bling/Muta. Its his strong side and his weakness. He sometimes lose to early pressure but if it goes over 15min he is in a great shape and can normally take the win with his imba macro.
Becuase of his high econ he can outproduce his opponent.
Stephano is very different. He is a low econ zerg that favors ling/infestor/ultra but also does bling/muta. His strengt is he is very good early and mid game vs pressure but he can lose lategames if he cant wear down his opponent.

Ya zvz wise i think stephano is slightly ahead... i think its because idrA's practice enviorment is the NA ladder, And stephanos practice enviorment is the eu ladder, who has alot of sick zerg players to practice with.
so it might be because of the eu server, or maybe because stephano understands the zvz matchup better then idrA. i guess the best way to find out is to see them both face eachother

Yea, Im just happy we got 2 great zergs in the foreign scene that can beat and compete vs the koreans. Would be cool if Stephano and Idra would start working together vs the korean horde. Talk about strategies etc

I think its safe to say that Stephano is better than Idra considering how he won 2 of the last three tournaments in which they both played in. Aslo, he placed lower than idra at MLG Orlando by losing 1-2 to BoxeR who went 3-2 vs Idra that same day.

Ahh yea Battle of Berlin is next week isnt it?. Well cant wait to see more of this superzerg he impresses me more and more. I was so sure MKP was to much for Stephano but the way he dominated MKP it was just unbeliveble.

Hahahaha...before october, stephano's total earnings = $6515. After october, total earnings = $62515. In just a single month and after 2 tourneys (IPL3 and ESWC), Stephano made more money than any other foreigner who has worked their ass off since the dawn of SC2. This guy rocks man what a baller

For those who says Stephano + Idra would give the best zerg in the world , i would say wait for the training in Korea of Stephano and you'll get the best zerg by far in the world he just trained in europe and look how strong he is :s eswc + ipl3 in 3 weeks i can't imagine what kind of monster the korean training is gonna create :o

In sc2 koreans are'nt best =) , the wrecking ball is ... :D
|
So, his nickname is officially The Wrecking Ball? I thought it was the Pink Power Ranger Zerg. >.>
