I sincerely doubt it. If Nerchio hasn't adapted his style already, he's gonna do it eventually in a bo5 or bo7 or whatever it is. Goody just isn't a very scary player in general in my opinion.

I agree, but out of curiosity, do you think the same way about IdrA as well?

Goody plays Mech vs everything

Damn, nerchio is happy now he don't have to meet stephano 
gogo nerchio, for the swarm!

I'm really disappointed to see Stephano lose like that, but it is great too see Goody doing well in his home country. The fans are loving it, good for them they had to stay up a lot later than they thought.

Got to be amazed how people react so differently to results of Goody - Stephano compared to Elfi - Huk (underdog beating clear crowd favourite). Goody being praised while Elfi got bashed.

GoOdy's playstyile
1) Bunker Rush 2) Expand 3) Get supplied blocked 4) Queue units like a madman 5) Push 6) Park in the enemy's base 7)Stay there until all resistance has been dealt with.

I hope I can find my post where I said I'm going to laugh when Stephano doesn't win this tournament. You types of people really had to come to this thread that has been beautiful and happy for over 110 pages and shit all over it, right? Beautifu and happy? We must be looking at different threads. There has been NO balance whine, NO player bash, NO drama, up until now. Only legitimate complaints about the sub-par quality of the production. As soon as Stephano lost comes the parade of smug people rubbing it into other people's faces.
That is how the internet works. You can't talk a player up for the past month or two like a lot of people have been doing, and then not expect the complete backlash when he lost. Not a big deal, and to be expected. Stephano is still really good, and arguing over who the "best foreign player" is after every friggin tournament is getting old. Winning one tournament or even one series doesn't make you great, and losing one tournament or series doesn't make you terrible. And it is possible for several players to all be very good, quick talking in absolutes.

Nerchio definitely knows how to handle GoOdy's style, has done many a time in online cups.

That's the dumbest post I've ever seen. How does Stephano deserve to be in Code S? Because Boxer said so? Rofl. What Code S players has Stephano beat in a LAN enviourment?

I hope I can find my post where I said I'm going to laugh when Stephano doesn't win this tournament. Stephano loses and the same old naysayers come out immediately lol. All we can conclude is that he isn't too good against mech-play Boxer said Stephano is CodeS level, and I value his opinion over yours Boxer isn't even Code S level though.
This is the most stupid form of ignorance. Only a Code S player can judge if someone is good or not. Some kind of religious arrogant faschism.

nerchio has a history of beating goody, i think he will handle it a bit better than stephano

Idra might has beat Goody there, but he's probably not Code S level either. (Idra has better ZvT, Stephano better ZvP and ZvZ)

That's the SC2 community. Just ignore it.

GoOdy for code A. He beat Nestea after all.

I could point out one major, very noticeable, difference between Stephano and HuK, but I'm sure that most people already see it.

Nerchio will be harder for Goody, since he plays a different style. faster broodlords.

When it's about Goody you have to say "tanks" instead.
