You can't call top 10 players, so just don't. You don't know if stephano is a top 10 player because he hasn't played everybody and his stretch of being really good hasn't lasted long enough. You don't become top 10 for beating a few Koreans. Yet he beat Koreans so he can compete.

All we can say is Stephano is a really good player and could compete in all tournaments. He would also have a reasonable chance at winning these tournaments. Did he? Not yet, so you can't rank him. Even if he did win Code S you could call it skill with a lot of luck.

Enough of this top 10 bullshit. Stephano is really fucking good and could compete with Koreans. You can't even rank the Korean top 10 other than Nestea, MMA and MVP being somewhere in there based on consistency. That's basically the only thing you say without being stupidly biased. So just stop.

Nobody should rank until more leagues with a format like "MSL", "OSL" and "GSL" come out where people have time to prepare for their opponent.

GSL doesn't really allow enough preparation time either to be honest (although it's still better than the foreign one-weekend tournaments). Competitions are incredibly volatile and it doesn't help that the game itself isn't really figured out yet.

I'm personally not reading much into anyone's success this early in SC2's lifespan, I rate players just by how good their mechanics and multitasking are, and how fast they're improving, because eventually that's what's going to pay off big time in the long run.

in every tourne thread won by Stephano there's this kind of X pages thread where one guy say "OLOL Stephano > All " and right after 10 antifanboys write pages and pages about how Stephano is hyped and how he hasn't compete in code S etc...
Just wait and see, he will go to korea soon, then we will know, but i have the conviction he's not another "top" foreign player who will fail in first round of code A. I mean he is on a complete other level.

I second this, hopefully would be really good and mabye shut a few people that are hating on one of them up, i don't really like idrA as a player, his style bores me, But when he plays his style to it's best, he is amazing... stephano on the other hand, when he is playing poorly, is still good to watch, but you see the flaws..

In a best of 5 i think stephano would probably win
