Nerchio needs to be on this list. He doesn't go to as many events as Stephano, but he's better probably.

I don't think he's better yet. He may have the potential to be better, but Stephano has the results right now

This poll might as well just be "Who do you like more?" Im sure not many people here actually look at stats, they just use their preference.


When Stephano gets Ro8 in GSL twice in a row, let me know.


You win for the most offbase post. Stephano is #1 over everyone in Internatinoal Elo. You get to #1 in Elo by beating better players, more consistently, than everyone else, including DRG, MKP, Naniwa, etc. If you combined the Korean and the International databases, I can't say for certain he'd still be number one but he very well may be, and he woudl be significantly higher ranked than Naniwa, even though he's had two good GSL runs. Also he's #10 overall (when I checked last week) in zvz in terms of Elo. Everyone, not just you, needs to stop over-stating how "bad" he is in the matchup. In the past month, he's beaten nerchio twice and beaten violet. He's also lost to Cytoplasm in four straight (lol), which goes to show he's inconsistent -- not terrible.
To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

Did the guy who made that poll up really think we would avoid stupid " gsl vs international tournaments " debates and that kind of thing ? :/

stephano hands down
EDIT : pretty ridiculous that people say that naniwa is better because he made it to ro8 twice in a row. Stephano gets at least top 6 in every tournament he enters and he consistently beat code s top tier players. Why do we care if he beats them in korea or in the US. Stephano is already better and he will be even better than everyone else once he goes to korea.

this is like comparing a guy who wins a bunch of minor league titles with a guy who does very well in the major leagues.

Don't know who said it but:

"If you want to be the best, you have to play with the best."

Naniwa fasho. Stephano still hasn't prove himself in the only arena that matters to me.

Until Stephano goes to Korea and shows us what he's made of, there's no fucking way in hell you can say he's better than someone who made it to ro8 twice in a row in the most competitive and difficult tournament in the world, just no fucking way. Not to mention he also won an MLG arena and made it to finals in an MLG, what's the best Stephano has done in MLG lol?

All Stephano has to show for himself is a couple of win in minor tournaments here and there, hardly anything to brag about really.

Long story short, your bias is more than obvious, if it was Naniwa who was the french player you wouldn't even think twice to say that he's the better player.

How could anyone vote for Stephano when Naniwa keeps making it super far in the GSL? Until Stephano does something like that all he has proven is he can sporadically beat Koreans.


tell me what happened last time stephano went to korea and jumped straight into games vs the top koreans (remembering naniwa was ALSO there in the same blizzard cup)

Sure stomping korean Ladder in korea, is not good enought. and blizzard cup matches doesnt count.

Naniwa is in GSL only because GOM need foreigner.
RO8 twice.... just lol. I root for him every time he play in GSL, but Ro8 is what ? win 4 BO3 ? yes sure anyone who can win 4 Bo3 in GSL is surely better than any other player in the world....
It's funny because after all argument, stephano is still 65 %.
democratic win.


if stephano play in GSL someday, it's the same, they got here by seed not code A / B / qualifier.

Until Stephano does 2 Code S Ro8s in a row (or equivalent) Nani is the best foreigner.
