SC2 is a game where any top player can take out any other top player. Upsets do happen. Even in other sports, when Team A is favored against Team B, true fans of Team B will believe that their team will win. Don't try to silence people who don't have the same opinion as you.

I love how Stephano fanboys begin to imagine him beating MVP in BO5 after he wins a showmatch against tails..
I have nothing against him but fanboyism is really, really, really annoying. People trying to "discredit" him are actually trying to bring you fanboys down to ground.
I said the same thing before MLG Orlando. I predicted that he would not get to top8 and people said I was stupid.
Stephano has got insane talent and is probably the top2 best foreigners atm, but unless he trains 8 hours a day like most Koreans do he would meet a skill cap. I would rate him as mid-high code A level at the moment.

Tails is not the best Protoss alive, but he could beat Nestea and Mvp when it most mattered (being 3-4 behind in sets against IM).

Of any Zerg player outside Korea Stephano and Idra have amazing mechanics. Different styles but amazing mechanics all the same. Point is if any Zerg outside Korea is beating MVP or any other top Korean these to have the highest chance.

That was impressive by Tails, but beating MVP in a BO5 when it mattered is a whole different story and the chances are slim to none.

I think you forgot how utterly crushed Huk was against Mvp I think 2 or 3 GSLs ago

I'd say Huk has a better chance than Stephano considering Huk's pvt is strong while MVP's TvP is his worst matchup. That said, I still cannot imagine Huk beat MVP in BO5 any day. But you got a point, these two might have the best chances.

Well, I wouldn't throw out any P's chances against MVP, but Huk is recently 0-5 against him...

It's probably posts like yours that make people want to say things like that.

Stephano rolled Tails, but there's no way Stephano would beat MVP. Tails isn't even close to the caliber of MVP, and no one (not even Nestea, who's lightyears ahead of Stephano as a Zerg player) is close to the caliber of MVP (except for the occasional MMA battle, but even he can't be considered #1 in the world).

Congratulations to Stephano; I hope he keeps kicking ass!


You realize MVP was very lucky not to lose to the relatively unknown zerg player annyong earlier today? You're starstruck!


and stephano lost to BoxeR. Now what?

I dont say you're wrong. I just want to know what makes you think like that? Why? How can you imagine the result of a match between two different players, who never played together, and never met opponent with the same style, and never played with the same preparation and playing condition?

Why a "Slim chance"? Why not "No chance", or "50/50", or every thing else?

Now Stephano is a top player? Jesus.

Stephano is a top foreigner, sure. I think a few people forgot that he hasn't exactly played GSL yet.

You kinda need to think about all the Koreans.

Because everything anyone will ever say in these situations comes from a gut instinct rarely grounded in facts or statistics.

I agree that SC2 is still kinda volatile comparing to BW so we cannot really predict the result of a game very well. However, we do have a few players showing consistent great results while competing against the best of the best for months. Players like MVP, Nestea showed significantly better results than their peers for MONTHS. They displayed better results for a longer time, against stronger players. I really don't see how Stephano would have a split chance against the best TvZer in the world considering Stephano lost to Boxer and theStC (yeah I know he beat mkp at eswc). However, I would not say there's NO chance at all because anything can happen. It's a pure philosophical question..

Everything you said applies just as well to say CombatEX vs MVP or your average silver league vs MVP for that matter if you think CombatEX has a chance. Could CombatEX win against vs MVP (HINT: No)? We extrapolate from observing their play and accomplishments.

stephano is code s material, he has proven it plenty of times by beating mkp, mma, stc and other top koreans and litteraly every foreigner except idra (i havent seen them play yet).
if he goes to korea, he will dominate.
