Stop with the USA USA chant shit. Further offenses beyond page 493 will be met with bans. You've been warned.

I like how people begin trying to tear down his win less than a half hour after it occurred. WTF people? Stephano just won a BIG fricking event. I swear some people won't be happy until he beats like MMA, Coca, Bomber, MVP and Nestea in a row.

I will look forward to seeing Stephano in Korea if ends up going like he said he wants too. There is no doubt in my mind that Nestea would beat him in a ZvZ, or that MVP would beat him in a TvZ, but it would be so much fun to watch!

Oh the irony considering your last few posts...

dude, you can't go around calling for bans because someone has an opinion that differs from your own. Don't get me wrong, I think MvP would probably beat Stephano, but I also think it would be a damn good game considering how Stephano played against MMA. Stop making it seem like Stephano fan boys are trolling. He played exceptionally in this tournament

the opinion is ludicrous however based on what we've seen...i'm leaving this thread because people are seriously freaking out and not reading what i'm saying...dunno why i tried really

grats to stephano, hopefully people start thinking once the hype dies down

cry about it somewhere else. stop mucking up the thread with your useless whining. no one agrees with you or cares what you have to say when you have such a negative aggressive tone.

you'd rather have posts saying stephano is world's best and MVP can't touch him? take it easy

i don't care what people say about stephano. if someone says he is better than mvp, that's fine, they believe that, that's their opinion.

Congratulations to Stephano and IGN for an amazing tournament. I'm the biggest Dreamhack fanboy for their production, but this was a whole new level. Looking forward to see MLG's response next week.

Stephano had an impressive showing, but you can't call someone the best foreigner (someone is even calling him the best player) in the world just because he wins 1 offline event. The players he beat weren't exactly top-tier. He beat a few of them in the online qualifiers but that doesn't mean much especially against a T or P where micro matters so much (I personally watched mkp lose to stephano because of his lack of marine splitting timing, most likely due to lag).

He's good, but don't be so damn quick to jump on the bandwagon. He won a single offline tourney by beating, frankly, mediocre players (as far as KR standards)

I don't really understand the people who try to diminish a player's win the moment after he wins. What are you trying to accomplish?

"Stephano isn't good. He needs to beat Koreans. He did? Oh well that was online. That doesn't mean anything at all. He needs to win a LAN anyway. Oh he did? But...were Koreans there? Really? But not good ones right? Oh MMA, MC, Puma, Lucky, Violet, TheStC, Artist, Inori, Ryung, Boxer, Hero, Sleep, and Select were there...well...fuck you I don't like Stephano I'm not listening anymore lalalalalala."

Congratulations Stephano.


Can we quote this and lock the thread. Sums it up nicely.

Lets see, of the ones you mentioned, which koreans are the best out of those koreans?
MMA, MC, Puma, and Ryung
Yes stephano beat all of them in this offline lan event!
oh wait...
oh and you forgot to mention aLive, a solid korean code s terran
what happened when stephano vsed aLive?
being the crazy skilled foreigner that he is, he must have owned aLive right?

I really really hope mods get in here and start cracking down on this... Stephano just kicked a ton of ass. Why do you feel the need to discredit his win. Trolling doesn't belong on team liquid if that's what your after...

Not to mention that he took out marineking, MMA, AND Puzzle on his way to origins. Get off my favorite Starcraft forum. Your stinking up the place....
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

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.


Or maybe he's just a great player and things happened to click for him in this tournament moreso than it did for others? What is this nonsense about things being turned on their heads?

Why are the closing ceremonies always so damn awkward?

Anyways, grats to Stephano! Great tournament overall.



I had a feeling that they didnt prepare the ceremony coz they thought 99.9% a Korea will win, and this ruins everything, each words has to be improvised
