I don't agree with measuring him up against MVP or NesTea yet. Winning an IPL is a lot smaller feat than winning a GSL. Or even three GSLs. By winning IPL he will be able to participate in GOMTV's Blizzard Cup and try his luck at the best of the best, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him play there.
Congratulations to Stephano, you showed us, in my opinion, the most exciting games of the tournament and it was a well deserved win.
I agree with this.
But I would add that I personally right now, looking at his play this tournament, would rate him as 'the best foreigner'.
Part of it has to do with the state of protoss, perhaps Huk in theory is better but with protoss struggling so much it's hard to see.
Also, I wouldn't rate him as high as ... say ... NesTea and MvP for sure, but I'd add in another 10-20 koreans I think (but - I might change my opinion soon, and if he improves, he might be among the very best in the world).
1 tournament win where he beat theStC and Happy doesn't = being better than NesTea, July, LosirA, MvP, Bomber, MMA, Polt, Genius, Puzzle, Oz, etc ... but it doesn't mean he is far behind either!
I hope he participates in the korean tournament, and does well, really excited to see him play against the very best.
And - he was amazing this tournament, well deserved win!
... before this tournament, I would have rated him quite a way behind Idra and Huk - not so right now.

Where are you going to take this skill now? - To the bank!

Little spoiler:
Anna: "How do you feel after winning?"
Stephano: "I didn't really deserve it since I didn't pratice as hard as lucky, guess I just have the skill"
Anna: "Where are you going to take that skill now?"
Stephano: "To the bank lololololol!"

He said during one of the interviews I saw of him that he only uses ladder to practice. Personally I do not see how he can hope to improve to be the best he can be by using that as his practice method. I hope he changes his mind.

stephano raped... omg
Step 1) Send Stephano to win MLG
Step 2) Send him to win Code A
Step 3) 4 Time GSL Champion Stephano!
If he wins MLG he does not have to play in Code A.

But win MLG when u play the open bracket is very very hard.

Yeah, I was just pointing out the flaw in logic in the three step plan I quoted.
