Ahh he had a lot of time before JYP's blink was done, probaly should have made the most of that!
Though he was pretty much screwed because of the choke anyway.

JYP is one of the better Koreans, so not too bad losing to him. Think Naniwa has a good chance of advancing, though it seems like foreigners never play up to standard vs Koreans.

Or maybe Koreans usually play better than foreigners, and foreigners keep using excuses instead of getting better.

Only Huk and Idra can hang with Koreans these days and the results prove it.

*Cough* Stephano *Cough* ^.^

Sigh, wait till Stephano competes in Korea, and people like to gloss over the fact that Stephano didn't make it very far at all at MLG orlando

lol?

he came from the open bracket and got that far. the amount of Bo3 he won in a row is amazing, and you say that? wowwoow

Sigh again, another fanatic. How many notable players did he beat? Players have come out of the open bracket and had much better showings, ones that comes off the top of my head? Ganzi, SaSe, MKP

sigh sigh sigh lol. he went 14-6 in the tournament, beating whitera and kiwikaki on the way. he lost to StC (who said he had thewind study stephano specifically to defeat him) and boxer (who is so aware of stephano that he said that he has created a brand new way to play TvZ). yet you look down on him for this performance. but that's okay, because stephano has won more or less every other tourney he has entered it seems like lol. Remember, he is the highest non-korean competitor in prize money this year, despite only really entering tournaments in the past 3-4 months. All of the 5 players above him have won at least one GSL, a tournament stephano has never played.... he is quite comfortably worthy of being mentioned alongside huk and idra lol!

I didn't say he wasn't worthy FFS, my initial point was the level of fanaticism that follows him is annoying and you guys are furthering my point. I even have given him praise by saying I like his play and think he can succeed vs Koreans. I just want to see him do it in Korea.

why? koreans came to foreign events, and stephano beat them on his way to many tourneys. why must he be on korean soil to prove himself as a player? furthermore, idra hasn't beat in gsl in how long? and he was so great during gsl too, yet you don't hesitate to acknowledge him

storm finally started for nani, mutas patrolling the map looking for stray units/holes in nanis forces

nani moving out with colo/stalker and leaving a good bunch of stalkers at home - looks pretty good for him if this works

It shows that he can do it out of his comfort zone, so far only HuK has managed to show consistency in Korea. He doesn't need to prove himself anymore, he needs to cement and elevate himself as a player.

Oh man.... Luvsic is just completely toying with HongUn....

He keeps burrowing his roaches to replenish health, then goes to attack HongUn, backs off, then repeats.....
