If you don't know how to post in a live report thread by now, be advised: don't whine about game balance and don't bash players/casters/interviewers/staff/other posters. We are monitoring this thread closely.

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

Let's do some simple math @ Stephano haters.

Results since September:
1) MMA 2-1 July, MMA 2-0 Nestea, MMA 2-1 Losira
2) Lucky 3-0 MMA
3) Stephano 4-0 Lucky

That means Stephano is worlds ahead of the koreans. Don't even try to argue on this because it's just basic mathematics.

So... Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, therefore... Paper beats scissors?

Didn't Stephano beat MMA to qualify, or was that MKP?

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)


Hmmm, the people he beat were pretty top tier. I'm not saying he IS nestea or some code S champion. But please name a foreigner who is better than him, I would like to know who it is. I know your not dissing him, but your comment is downplaying him a bit much tbh. He is a great player with fantastic potential. Also I saw him play some bad games this tournament, he has among he best zvt AND zvp in the foreigner scene and great zvz comparable to dimaga if not better.
I can count the amount of zergs in the world that are as good in any matchup as he is in all three on my hands.
Speaking of nestea and losira (well I wasn't but w/e) stephano might have better zvt then them (but that is not proven by anything except that zvt is the IM zergs' worst MU).


They were not top-tier Koreans at all.


You're right. This tourmanet had 0 top tier koreans


Violet is not a top Korean, not even a Code A level Zerg. Lucky is a stylistic zerg whose style directly counters the Slayers terrans' fast hellion expands. He is also terrible at ZvZ. And Inori had Stephano dead to rights in game 2 of their series, but completely fell apart.

None of this means that Stephano played badly. In fact he played so well that his opponent's weaknesses became glaringly apparent. However he had a relatively weak path to the finals, same as Nestea did in his 3rd championship.

Man, I am actually a little disappointed. Stephano won without us getting to see him play MMA, Ryung, Puma or MC. That makes me sad.

IdrA wins IEM china:
"IdrA best foreigner"

Stephano wins IPL3, 10x harder to do, demolishing the player who knocked out IdrA:
"Stephano sux, he just got lucky"
"IdrA's play is clearly better"
and furthermore:
"Stephano is the best player in the world"

why cant ppl just enjoy what just happened.

Cmon guys you have to admit Stephano got a relatively easy bracket.
Not taking anything away from his win, I watched the ZvZ finals and he completely outplayed Lucky. His game sense is crazy.


By even mentioning that, you're taking things away from his win. He defeated a lot of great players to qualify for IPL, then defeated a lot more great players to win the tournament. That's all there is to it.


Ok I'll rephrase, hes a god dam amazing player and deserves the win 100%. I guess what Im saying is that I would have liked to see him play the better players in this tournament for example, MMA, Ryung Puma etc.

If a non-Korean wins MLG, the cycle will be complete. :D

We already have IEM and IPL, MLG here we come!

And now it's time to stop reading this thread. Stephano, who is 18 years old, who started playing this game full-time less than a month ago, just won 30,000 $ by beating several Korean players - and there are people who try to discredit his win? Seriously? What is wrong with you?


No ones discrediting anyone, they're just arguing with idiots who are saying Stephano > Mvp or whatever the fuck they're saying right now.

How many people were actually saying this? I see many more people who whine about how easy Stephano's path was!

Imagine the hype around Idra if he would have won this IPL! Then shut up.

Stephano deserves some hype and he deserves his fanboys because this was an outstanding achievement, especially because he doesn't train in korea.

He beat Socke, Revival, Puzzle, Kiwikaki and MMA to qualify.

EZPZ. Was all because of lag amirite?

His performance in this tournament was extraordinary but that doesn't make him the best foreigner. He's extremely good, but there are many other good ones too like Dimaga, Mana, ThorZaIN who've all beaten him on LAN recently and done well vs Koreans.
