That's what people said about Stephano beating any other player as well.

Any prediction that doesn't match someone's Korean TLPD record is fanboyism in some people's eyes. -_-

"HerO vs Stephano on Daybreak

For foreigners, this is the blockbuster game of the group stages. The best foreign Zerg, playing his very best match-up"


What am i reading?


Im pretty sure the vast majority of the sc2 community considers IdrA and a few others to be far superior to Stephano... this doesng belong in a TL preview i think

The "sc2 community" isn't writing articles for TL though.

Fortunately, I might add.

I just had a horrible vision of the Featured News. "Idra leaves early. Was his opponent too BM?" or sth along that lines.

Hello world,

Stephano won 2 major competitions, is top 10 GM in korea (beated Bomber and others a lot of time on ladder) and now beated DRG, HerO, and only losed againt MVP and MC (fail all in) in bo1.

Please don't compare him to idra, who for example lost against unknowed players at WCG.

Fanboyism strikes again. IdrA is really, really good and yes, he's one of the best zergs out there but Stephano is just one step ahead

He is top 10GM korea? Stephano is a great player, but this is hard for me to believe that he would be top 10GM korea in such a short time? Where do you have that information from? Any reliable source?

amazing stats if you ask me... 2:2 isn't so shabby at all in this group, only going out by direct comparison to MC

MC Hwaaaiiiting~!

Can't help but root for that guy... :D

Also, HerO. Because he's the resident best Protoss in the world who also happens to be on the most favorite team of them all
