I'm right in thinking none of the SC2 talk shows talked about Stephano's practice schedule?

What is there to talk about? Either he's lying and he really practices more than 3 hours a day, or he's telling the truth and the game is a joke.

So Stephano is some kind of practice wizard who knows how to train better than a dedicated coach? Where is this idea that Koreans aren't practicing properly coming from? Did someone with insider knowledge like Huk or Jinro mention it? Seriously if they mentioned it in an interview I'd like to know.

Post October = bad results with Koreans dominating except from HuK and Idra. Just look at yesterday code A.

Koreans will contiune to dominate with a limited handfull that can really keep up with the best. Stephano and all the rest wouldnt even make it to Code A

In the IPL he said, that he is not doing much else than starcraft. So if he really only trains 3 hours a day, it was a stupid decision to stop his studying at the university.

Idra proved nothing with his win at the IEM Ghoungzhou. There was only a few very unkown korean players, who got knocked out in Code A early (Revival) or are not even in Code A (Puma). Even so, Puma is the practice partner or idra.

It was ironically too, that Stephano won against StC and Boxer at the IPL and only a week later he lost to both of them. In the interview StC said, that he uses weakness of the stephano style. And StC and Boxer are definitely not top korean terrans.

The very big upset from Idra, was his win against Bomber. But one have to say, that bomber uses on metalopolis some strange only marine style, which actually only works, when you are WAY BETTER than your opponent, which was not the case.

Even so, MLG Orlando seemed to be on of the weakest MLGs since koreans attended. The strongest was imo where all the korean Terras and DRG+CoCa attended.

This was not a revolution. It was only a revolt.

A revolt that will be put in its rightful(wrongful?) place come this weekend.

The article said 4 hours.
And a sports where you can excel if you train 4 hours a day and are prodigious is a joke?
Michael Phelps trains nearly 5 hours, 7 days a week. And we know what he achieved. Or maybe it's just that swimming is a joke?
Or maybe chess is a joke? Because many top players also put up around 4 hours each and every day. Every day.

Do yourself a favour and don't stick to that train of thought. It's pretty disadvantageous in life, ya know.

Great article and I really loooooooooove the artwork ^^, but I wouldnt necessarily agree with everything, there were quite a few people inlcuding myself who always said the difference aint that big and that there are just a few Koreans who are way better (we all know who they are ) but other than that I've always been a firm believer of foreigners being able to win tournaments, been saying it for months and it was nice to see october turn out the way it did ^^

So then are you going to argue that Stephano is just so good that he gets twice as much out of practice as other players? Or that the Korean teams are wrong and have been wasting their time all these years? If that's the case I hope someone shows them the light soon so they can stop wasting their youth pointlessly trying to get good.
