Grrrr...It never mentions being SCII.
Poorly worded question aside. In SCII it would have to be Stephano though. He is the only person who consistently beats Koreans during the end of tournaments.

Naniwa's goal is to be the best player in the world (even skipping out in tournaments to practice)... he has not won anything recently. Because of this, I would say Stephano's the better player of the two. especially considering, as some have pointed out, that Naniwa had the opportunity of having way more practice time in Korea. Destiny cares about viewer count on his stream, and he achieves his goal even more consistently than Stephano and Naniwa, so he's a better player than both. ...come on, dude. | ||

YES! Grrrr best foreigner of all time | ||

The question isnt "who would win in a 1v1 between srephano and naniwa?". A player's level must be measured against the whole field of competition. | ||

Naniwa is probably a better preperation player while Stephano is probably better at beating people on the ball. Also there is much bias in this poll it's rediculous. People like Stephano more, and people hate Naniwa more because he hurt Nesteas feelings in a tournament. | ||

People like Stephano more, and people hate Naniwa more because he hurt Nesteas feelings in a tournament. I agree. A poll like this isn't representative of the actual difference in skill. A head to head BO11 deathmatch will have to be the only way to settle this. | ||

I kinda still wanna say stephano though, seeing as he got on his level without the help of korean practice (i dont really count the 3 weeks he spent there for the GSL thing compared to how nani has been living there for quite some time now. stephano also only played 2 weeks of those, the last week he didnt stream and there were barely any new matches in his history. ) | ||

And it will stay like that until Stephano grow some balls to compete in the GSL It's good that stephano got a brain, and not just balls, and know that playing GSL is loosing potential money, and since he play to win money, what's the point of playing GSL ? fame ? Fame dont pill up in your bank account ! Stephano of course. I regret that naniwa make the gamble to stay in korea and try to win a GSL, maybe he can do it, but it's more likely that he never win it, and if he was playing in other tournament seriously he could have make much more money and win much more title. Korean want to play in foreign event, want to go to foreign team, why some non-korean still want to play only GSL ? I dont understand ! | ||

Naniwa, without a shadow of a doubt. He is consistent in all 3 of his matchups and can perform spectacularly. Stephano is a great player, however he seriously lacks skill in ZvZ, losing to quite a few no names who just stomped him. When Stephano gets Ro8 in GSL twice in a row, let me know. | ||

But, handicap monkeys that play toss could keyboard smash their Way to Code S. Nuff said, go Stephano. | ||
