Since the ro8 in gsl he has been to 2mlgs both(7-8th) Stockholm(ro32), summer(Ro8). You cant just say Tournament with names as MC,Hero,Puma,Puzzle,Sen,Ret is no competition.. Id admit its easier but Stephano made up for it by DEMOLISHING everyone easily 4-0 finals on a such a big event. | ||

Also gaveMKP a run for his money last time they met. Got destroyed by MMA though. Overall he seems much more consistent than Naniwa, but it is true we don't see much of Naniwa anymore. What's impressed me so far is his progression, during his rise at first he lost all the time to Polt, than began taking games of him more and more, and now beats him most of the time. The same exact thing is happening against MC now, and lately MC has regained a lot of his past skill. The more he plays against good opponents the more he becomes impressive, so regardless of who is the best foreigner I'm eager to how he fares during his stay in Korea, never before did we have a foreigner beat so many top Koreans over and over. | ||

If you think about it, his style couldbe figured out month ago, but still have not. Not to mention there are enought videos to so so if one would desire to. | ||

Johan "Naniwa" Lucchesi $66,470 If Naniwas is indeed better then playing GSL is really not a good idea... especially since Stephano emerged a lot later. | ||

They both have very different goals. Stephano is aiming to make a large amount of money, while Naniwa is trying to win the hardest tournament in the world. If that sounds a bit like a slight on Stephano I don't mean it to be, he is an amazing player and need outstanding talent to pull it off, and it is what most players are are hoping to do. Naniwa is different though he cares next to nothing about things besides winning which can be a problem. Which is better? We don't know right now but comparing amount isn't the way to do it and Naniwa knows playing in the GSL is a bad idea if he wants the most money possible but he is doing it so he can say he has beat the best players in the most prestigious tournament in the world. | ||

Don't Get me wrong, during the blizzard cup last year I was cheering for Stephano when he got knocked out of the first round, but it's getting to the point now where he has enough cash from Winning all these EZ mode foreign tournaments, now he needs to prove himself among the best of the best, in GSL format, which just happens to be a very different playing field to most foreign tournament formats. I mean, look at naniwa, he lost a whole heap of respect from fans for his past actions, especially his probe rush during the infamous blizz cup game against nestea, but now he has redeemed himself with 2 consecutive ro8 on code s. Now look at the enormous amount of respect he has due to these achievements.... And he didn't even need to win the whole thing. | ||

He is more interested in making money than in being the best. Sure they do go somewhat hand in hand, but I don't think being the best, and only by definition of winning the GSL, is really something that matters to him. Being the best by definition of winning the most money is the bigger motivation. This in no way is a negative view of Stephano, in fact to me it shows that his decision making in real life is as good as his in game decision making. I so agree with you. | ||
