Stephano has got to be the most hated foreigner ever.
Whatever he does people find ways to discredit his achievement. Now we reached the cheating accusation :D

Oh, how I wish he decided to go train in Korea for a few months and show that (whether?) he can actually kick ass just as much as top Koreans.

I think its jelousy mostly. Everyone say you need korean training to become the best but somehow Stephano is a freak and just destroys koreans and the best foreigner all the time. So its a slap in the face to many.

He clearly is very special

If Naniwa was there.... There wouldn't be a problem with players hearing the french casters ^^

The games would be casted in english so both players would have equal chances...

Naniwa did it for his game vs Tarson in Battlenet EU Invitational. Polish stream was switched with english one to play for the audience.

I can bet than more of 60% of the crowd would be unable to understand the commentary if it was in english... it's an event in France, a lot of French (especially gamers) suck at english, French is the official language in France and the majority of the crowd is French, there is no reason to not cast in french.
France is not sweden, we suck at english.

Very well done by Stephano, from the last 3 big tournaments he attended he won 2. MaNa also had an amazing run, hope to see a lot more from these 2 youngsters, because they definitly got what it take to stay on top

Also I am really amazed how Grubby did once more, he started this game a lot later then most of the other contenders. His improvement thanks to a month Korea is insane, his forcefield play is pretty uniqiue he uses them so different then other players I really like that. I wouldn't be too surprised too see Grubby ending as a No. 1 in one of the major tournaments any day soon.

Do you want to know the sad and honest truth as to why? Because the majority think he's just some unknown who showed up at IPL and happened to be good and won. When Stephano has been around for as long as any of these players and has been tearing it up in EU tournaments for some time now. This community also has this perception that if the tournament is not GSL or MLG, it's not important. Why? I have absolutely no idea.

Give it some more time. They did it like a couple of minutes before you asked for it. Maybe it's already up, idunno. ^^


The whole tournament took 3 days and i managed to find 1 interview....

I mean what the fuck? Theres absolutely no way Stephano wouldn't hear what the casters are saying.

Grats to stephano though. Another great win.

e. i know there has been talk about it. Just can't understand this at all.

No it's just that he is gimmicky and ridiculously overhyped. People don't like that. I mean, people like you saying he destroys koreans and the best foreigners all the time? That's just a fanboyish lie. It hasn't happened, no matter how much you wish it.

Yeah because winning two major tournament in one month doesn't mean anything, right?

Reading the comments here just makes me sad lately.

I added my two cents, why is this even happening? I mean do you believe that the players can't hear anything?

ps. i don't read Reddit, just saw it on youtube.

Yeah people hate overhype, that's why every other day a new cult of personality spawns up around a caster, or a translater, or some chick who knows nothing about esports. People don't like him because the stamp of approval to fawn over him hasn't been handed down from those on high.

Being blunt and not pretending everything he does is purely for the fans is another reason.

I think players complained before if this streamer was so understandable.

But, actually , i am not sure heard this caster is an advantage, they are pretty bad, casting at copper level, too much mistake , some people love them just for the show... if he could hear, he probably lost this tournament :D
