Boy did Stephano ever get some help from the bracket. He had by far the easiest path, wow. Beating the people who knocked out IdrA, Huk, MC, Ret, Ryung and MMA. Sounds like an "easy" path. If it was so easy maybe those players would've advanced...
from left to right: foreigner, slumping half/half, code B, foreigner, beaten by Lucky, beaten by Lucky, and we all saw Lucky's ZvZ, plus it was BO wins half the games
he's good, no-one's arguing that, he's not the next bonjwa

Hands down the best event to this date!

Stephano is turning the world of SC 2 up on its head. Although not the first foreigner to defeat good Koreans and win tournaments (HuK and IdrA have both done this), he is the first foreigner to do so across a wide spectrum of match-ups in a tournament where the Koreans had the numeric advantage in the championship bracket.
Eight players entered the Ro8. Three were foreigners. Four players entered the Ro4. Only one was a foreigner. And that foreigner won.
A momentous occasion in SC 2. It's not who he beat that was the most impressive part (although still the best foreigner vs Korean run ever), it's how he did it. No Korean training. No team house. It's a complete kick in the stomach to all the foreigners who make excuses about how they can't beat Koreans because of the lack of infrastructure.
Maybe Stephano is just a prodigy.

so...Foreign tournament always have awkward ceremonies, so.. Because the players are awkward and don't know how to react to the crowd. If MC won this, this would looked different. but who cares, AWESOME event.
It was more due to david ting stumbling on his words but oh well he created this he deserves to present the award at the end of it after he put his job on the line to make this happen, great event loved it.

what.....
this doesn't even make any sense. Beating MMA is beating MMA, I don't even know what you're trying to say.

It seems like top EU is right now heavily zerg dominated. I would call top 6 EU : Stephano, Nerchio, Ret, Dimaga, ThorZain, Mana + White-ra for his recent PvZ and PvP form (he needs to get his PvT to more stable situation, takes even more risks than in other MUs).

I am so sad that Stephano won. He seems like another bm IdrA in the making. Um... How??? Where has he showed BM? Just. Just. No. His answers to panel questions. His interviews. His "whatever, i dont care" attitude. He just gives me that "i am too good to care" vibe.
This is in no way comparable to the bitching and the insulting of other players by Idra.
When the interviewer asked Stephano why he says "gratz" when he loses, he said that it was because he is himself good and if "some one is better than him, he wants to congratulate him". That is an awesome attitude. I don't like the fact that Stephano is taking pride in not practicing much though...
