That takes Korean participation. Maybe I'm a raving fanboy, but to me this preview has the air of Stephano antipathy. He just cemented a year long run of being the strongest foreign player by reaching the no. 1 spot for dollars earned in 2012 and the 4th overall through all of SC2 history. He is dominating the players he practices with to a degree no Korean player has done and he seems as good a prospect as anyone for the title as best zerg in the world. He has kept the ball rolling for a year. What other players can claim that? MVP? MKP? MC? DRG? That's good company. And what is the summation? "Yeah, he's okay, but he totally finished 9th at Raleigh!" (behind 8 Koreans, true, but ahead of 16..). That's taking cherry-picking to the next level. *Besides that, as always, thanks for the effort in writing an interesting preview ^^ They are always like that. His 9th place finish is his worst placement in 6months and he only got knocked out because his ZvZ was sub standard. Ignore it and just have fun when Stephano take a dumb on Hero and Taeja | ||

TLO: Well he is a masters level player with the wackiest builds of all time. You think Naama knows how to cheese? You haven't seen my brother... Quote is from TLO's interview on TeamLiquidPro, http://www.teamliquidpro.com/news/2012/09/21/tlo-20-from-korea-to-valencia-with-love - a pretty good read. | ||

Ignore it and just have fun when Stephano take a dumb on Hero and Taeja Look, I'm not really a big fan of Liquid nor am I a Stephano antifan (I was rooting for him all the way through WCS EU), but there is no way in hell he could ever be considered a favourite against Taeja, and much less likely to "take a dumb" on him (What does that even mean?? :s ) | ||

But the preview just seems to me to go out of its way not to acknowledge Stephano's achievements. Which are extraordinary. | ||

They don't discredit his achievments at all. And when talking about the next tournament he is in that has koreas you naturally talk about his last LANs he faced them. They even mention his NASL triumph to balance out his performance at Raleigh. | ||

"EG.Stephano.RC crowned himself the best European player (and thus, best non-Korean player), and no one is tired of cheering for him" - Wrong Im tired off all the Stephano hype, have been for awhile. I Would love to see Moon play against Grubby. If it does happen I hope they both play well and the best man wins. I love the SC2 units walking around the city stuff, looks great | ||
