It's still really amazing he could win a tourny like that with so little practice time. | ||

Just such a weird way of thinking, Stephano is not really good cause MMA and Puma played to bad to get to let stage of the tournament? I dont even no what to say about that line of thought. Regarding Stephano being the best foreigner, there is no doubt in my mind. I said so 2-3 month ago first time I saw him in Assembly and this win just make it all the more obvious. The guy is playing amazing, and his result is backing him up in everything he enters. Like Assembly he only lost barely 2-3 against Dimaga which is argubably the best ZvZ player in the foreign scene, every one else he met he smashed. Like "nah Stephano aint the best foreigner cause he just won an event with 12 pro koreans in it ", well if not, he´s been untouched on EU ladder for months and dont you guys watch his games? Someone plz tell me which foreigner that is stronger then Stephano atm, that would be really interesting to hear. Seriously some people, world record at pissing at great achivement. It just so freaking bad manner I just feel sad about it. Dont even know what I am doing on this forums. Ah well big gratz to Stephano! | ||

I really don't understand how these euro players all seem to say they only play 3-4 hours a day and yet they can take games, or tournaments, off koreans practicing 8+ hours a day. I mean Whitera even said he streams 80% of his practice and he doesn't even stream that much, meaning he doesn't practice much at all and yet he does pretty well too. Meanwhile NA players who slack on practice like Tyler don't put up many results which makes more sense. I don't get it, euros are either liars or must eat super wheaties or something.. Yeah, it's the super wheaties. And the good news is that you can now actually buy them from me for a very reasonnable price! Yes they cost as much as a small house, but if you eat them you'll play like Stephano. PM if interested. | ||

the american starcraft 1 community put themselves into a defeatus state of mind for a decade. some of them even know it . The fact that for the most part the european scene went and played wc3 they were on even terms for the most part vs the koreans , and in many cases taking major tournaments. ( see sase grubby 4ktod and others for reference. they practiced altitle more and they didnt automaticly assume they lose vs any korean . they brought that to sc2 . now u see the europeans for the most part are not only better in skills because (americans dont play that much ) they also dont have that mindset from american sc1 scene.. i say good for the europeans! .. maybe the american scene will wake up soon and start winning! | ||

People can say what they want, but Stephano has proven he's one of the very best foreigners now. | ||

Its your call hehehe... im not saying that as a fanboy, just as a guy who watch a lot of tournaments ... by straight game, i mean .. no cheeses... and im not saying saying like... early timing attacks like the one that he made in the 3rd game.. that one was fair... it happens...idra didnt scout better, and stc got his chance.. See the last game of the WCG KOREA between ogsTOP and ST_July, 5 min game, 11/11 proxy barrack.... for real? I hate cheeses, because shows a lack of skill from the player, and as a viewer, for sure, you dont like to see either... And just to explain too, the bunkers in the early game without the proxy barrack 11/11 are just to force the zerg to make zergling and dont pump-out only drones... thats not even a problem for a good zerg... and either for the terran... because they are not commiting to the bunker for real... Would you like to see an final bo7 of only cheesses? | ||

*Of the 8 invites the furthest any of them got was to ro8 and both those players were zergs who went through one foreign Terran and one Korean terran each to get there. * The top eight was 5 Koreans and three foreigners, all three foreigners were zerg. *EG and FXO were the only teams with more than one player in the top 8. * Every player who came last in their group went out the first round except for Idra * SlayerS had the only teamkill. I'm Sure I'm missing other odd facts but that was all i could see at first glance. | ||
