Skillwise i think they are about equal , but Naniwa is playing in a tougher environment so he gets my vote . | ||

I think too much credence is given to GSL. It is clearly the hardest tournament but it is such a different format with the week long know who you are playing and on what maps deal. It also means you play very few games if you stick to just that. Compare that to the never ending cycle of weekender tournaments which includes a good number of Code A/s players each every time. You never know who you will be playing so have to be able to adapt to all builds and styles. Personally I think Naniwa is somewhat behind Stephano, but absolutely has potential to catch up and be the best depending on the vagaries of the metagame. So I vote for Stephano | ||

Jaedong worships Stephano, that's like, more valuable than 3 GSL titles. When comparing players, it's not all about where they are at in their accomplishments, it's also about just how they play, what they can achieve within the game vs accomplished players. | ||

This being said there both good, i just think NaNi is better and will continue to get better. He had the drive, it seems like stephano thinks hes bigger than the game or something, saying he didnt practice 2 weeks leading up to NASL ( which i think could be bs). | ||

Not only this but Zergs have been winning a lot recently..... Naniwa, better by far he even nearly knocked DRG out of code S, the player he would have found hardest PvZ -.-)..imo he is capable of winning code S. Stephano however would most likely lose once he bumps into a code S calibre T or Z. He usually does the same thing which is not hard to deal with when you have time to prepare for your match. | ||

I think too, that some put too much focus on the GSL. Yes, the best players are there. And you have preparation time, but the format is similar to other tourneys. With a bit of luck, you can get far. And the best players have gone out early. When Nani busted 3 times in Code A, I said that was bad luck, he is better. Now that he got 2 times Ro8, I say, that was good luck, he isnt Top8 in the world. Its still a very impressive feat by Naniwa, but it doesnt automatically have more value than all other results.

Sase is #3 imo. But close, yes. | ||
