As long as it's not ZvZ, Stephano should easily win those guys.

I predict Stephano and Grubby to advance.

TL;DR -- Stephano's "slump" can be explained by a lack of practice. It is very likely the case that he really was barely practicing in six months or so leading up to the HoTS release, despite various claims to the contrary. He's been playing more (and regularly) recently so there are no good excuses for failing to advance here.

Edit: Typos!!!!


Good post, nice to see some depth rather than letting stephano off the hook for everything.
He's just not that into the game anymore. For the past few weeks on reddit, all the news that revolves around stephano is "stephano said this on twitter, stephano did this on stream, look at this screenshot of stephano pre-game chat, stephano snuck a knife on a plane" etc. All hype, really. Meanwhile, his performances at IEM, MLG, and Dreamhack have all been lackluster. There's nothing that's distinguished him from other foreigners like tlo, ret, grubby, lucifron, etc recently. I think his beast mode days are over. All this talk of him looking out for his post-gaming career, I don't see him returning to being the top foreigner again. He might get a good result here and there, but the competition has gotten a lot better and he's stayed the same. Balance isn't really an excuse.

The headline is freakin' golden, especially when you add in that Daft Punk is a French duo.

Similar to how Human After All, despite the title, was still the same repetitive electronic/mechanical music, Stephano will probably turn out to not actually be human, and show some good form again, or that's my prediction anyway. It may happen in this group already, or it may happen later, but I do think it will happen eventually.
