Lol. I love that fans instead of 'hating' on Stephano/Bling, just run with it. Every month another instance or two of something that just makes me think Stephano is French Partier who doesn't care about the 'scene', he just keeps adding notches on his belt of instances like last time. 'its ok guys i was just hungover', 'its ok we love you for not caring'

If somebody like Naniwa got trashed and sucked the next day, there would be a reddit/tl shitstorm of different topics. But Stephano can be arrogant/not care/get trashed/etc, and we still just say we love him. BIAS!, gotta love it


The real problem is that the foreign scene wants to attach to someone who can win and the only guy with chances of doing it is Stephano. It's a shame that he has his fu%* up mentality towards the scene but what we can do.

I would love 10 times more if it was Grubby, Incontrol, TLO, but unfortunately the only guy who can make something is the one that doesn't care. It sucks tho
Grubby and Ret fan, but a TERRAN player :D

This is the best writeup yet. TL is getting closer and closer to being able to write a good SC2 Power Rank.

Although i almost wish you would only do KR Power Rank. Way too much bias with foreigners. You give them too much credit or not enough. You have people like HuK who got lukcy at MLG with a few PvP's who are getting mentioned when they are really horrible, like HuK is just mediocre with a good pvp. You have so many players that are just 'shit' yet you dont mention other shitty players lilke Idra (who had a better MLG run than HuK last time, even if he went out a round earlier).

I wish you took 'skill' into affect, as well as who these guys are beating. Just because HuK got the farthest last Arena doesn't make his run good, he beat shitty foreigners at PvP then lost to his first 'semi-decent' Korean. Idra has actually been playing pretty well, his MLG run was better than HuKs even if he went out a round earlier. I just can't ever believe TL when they write about Foreigners, its like you guys go 'herp-derp' or something, especially if its about team EG.

Are you including the online qualifiers in your analysis there? In the actual arena IdrA didn't win a game.



No, but in the series he played better than all foreigners except HuK imo. His game against Oz was 2-1 for instance, and he was the best at the NA qualifiers foreigner wise.

Im not saying he deserves to be on the list, i understand he has not won a single series this year in a major tournament. But i look at more than win/loss percentage. And he was just an example.

I just dont understand our foreigner rankings I guess. People like sheth getting mentioned, etc

If we dont make it known that this is 'unaccetable' then other people will aspire to be like him, and he'll never change. It was fine when he was 'only gonna be in the scene for a year'. But he has tasted money, and found its taste to his liking, so he will milk SC2 now for as much as he can. IDK. We write letters to sponsors about racial slurs, but we dont write letters about people playing hungover, or throwing finals matches cause their 'tired'.

I just want us to hold every pro to the same standards. Watching people like Orb who love the scene yet rage get lynched, and then watching us do the exact opposite for Stephano...it all makes me a sad panda

i totally agree with u except for the final part. Unfortunately that just happens because Orb never achieved something meaningfull while stephano did. That sux but i'm with u on the rest.

I for one used to like him in the first tournaments. But after hearing so much "I don't care", "I don't like zvz so i didn't want to play", i simple started to regreat i had cheered for him before.

Oh, you're referring to a different arena than I thought. He played Oz at the Winter Arena, which was in February. He went out more than a round earlier there than HuK, though, which is why I was confused. The most recent arena (in which he did go out a round earlier than HuK, and the one whose online qualifiers I was referring to) was Spring Arena 2, in which IdrA did not win a map. He also didn't make it out of the Winter Championship open bracket. I think all of these performances combined are what the creators of the PR were taking into account - if you just look at a couple of good yet lost series by a player, you can justify putting up nearly anyone.

This is proberly the worst post I ever read on TL. First you start off by saying to much bias with foreigners, then you mention how bad Huk are and then you say Idra played much better even he got no results whatsoever in 2012. His stats are the worst in the entire pro scene.

You talked about bias maybe you should really look into a mirror
