I think a lot of people feel that Stephano is getting more credit than he's due. From my perspective, this cycle of overhyping one messiah only to abandon him and move onto another is pretty unhealthy. Stephano had a great tournament and is obviously a top player, but him beating mid-tier Koreans, (yes, they are mid-tier, because they have not shown to be consistently top-tier -- this should be an easy concept) in one tournament isn't any kind of proof that he's the greatest European player, or whatever else people are saying. While some are trying to discredit Stephano maliciously, that doesn't mean the points raised by others aren't legitimate. Finally someone with a fucking brain , thank you. ! | ||

Maybe it's a style thing. He just massed pure ling in both games vs Alive in this tourney. Yeah, he won games playing like that on ladder, but that's only because he was much better than his opponents, and not because it's a viable strat. If he played with the style he showed in all other games, these 2 games would've been very different. | ||

If you looked at the brackets but didn't watch the games, it would be easy to think he just got lucky (rimshot, sunglasses, etc.). Would he have beat MMA? I don't know. I don't think Stephano would have done what Lucky did and a mass zergling early game against MMA? Or Ryung? Did Stephano have some different builds prepared for them? Maybe yes. Maybe no. Maybe go fuck yourself. We will never know. It is a style thing. Regardless, I think those games would have been awesome and I think everyone would agree that it sucks we didn't get to see them. Your post is a breath of fresh air. | ||

Has he proved he's good? Yes. Does that mean we should take anything away from his win? No. But you cannot call him the new hero of Zerg or the Best foreigner because he won IPL. Compare IPL competition to MLG competition,. A lot of the "Code B" players reached the further up stages and as such are what he beat. He's not the god of Zerg / Best foreigner if he's beating Code B players. Leave it at the fact that he's good and he's getting better, stop this bandwagon hype of best foreigner / best zerg ever. None the less Gz Stephano | ||

I said beating Lucky who was playing better than those guys is more notable than beating them. If those guys were actually worth beating then they would have made it to the finals but they didn't. Everyone got what they deserved. I don't think so, at the end of the day Lucky's still a code A player. When people look back at the results on paper beating MMA Ryung etc would be more impressive. Anyway I'm done here, congrats to Stephano, looking forward to MLG  | ||
