Actually, people were saying Idra and Puma fixed their match. And no one is mentioning Idra atm, apart from you. | ||

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. ok some more math. Lucifron 2-0 Stephano. DRG owned lucifron 2-0. So DRG is ages ahead of stephano. Stephano loses to Puma 1-2. Puma loses 2-0 to MMA thus MMA > Stephano right? | ||

Not taking anything away from his win, I watched the ZvZ finals and he completely outplayed Lucky. His game sense is crazy. The moment you say that you are taking away from his win. He didn't have an easy bracket, people try to find ways to discredit a player if they were not their favorite to win it. | ||

I agree entirely. I feel like in this tournament there are some very extreme views on both ends. I'm not trying to discredit Stephano but I think it's partically due to the fact he was far more unknown than IdrA. Not saying anything about his skill but before this tournament if you grouped Stephano into "best foreign zerg" you would probably be laughed it. With this (fairly unexpected) win there are going to be some pretty big reactions on both sides. | ||

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 doesn't train in korea. Idra still played amazing when you think about the amount of sleep he got and think about this $9,500 USD in 1 week! | ||

Grats Stephano, I hope you keep up this pace until you retire. Too bad he has announced that he won't be progaming for more than a year Hopefully he takes Code S when he goes to Korea to seal off his career.  | ||

Not to be the hipster but I knew he was a beast I watch him stream alot and his mechanics are amazing. | ||

INORI, NOT KIWIKAKI Kiwikaki lost because he did the same build three times, a build that is not particularly solid either. | ||

No, Stephano did not beat - head-to-head - the Korean players who were considered the best coming into the tournament - that would be MMA, MC, Ryung, and Puma - but he beat all the players who beat them. And by beating them, those players showed that they were themselves top-level players. So why take away from Stephano? | ||

I'm really curious to see what the Korean netizens think about IPL3. | ||
