lol about these comments about his 'style", his mechanics and game sense are top notch
that being sad his play in hsc is piss poor sadly, being hungover/jetlagged whatever may be excuses but i just cannot understand why he seems to not have played at all the last 2 weeks in korea
additionally he played only ladder in korea while being in a team house, that's just sad especially because he went there to train and chose to not even participate in the gsl

Here I was hoping 2012 would be different.
I suppose we do still have 11.5 months...
Most of the korean slayers arent at HSC.. so dont lose hope.

Exactly. His infestor rushes & overall heavy infestor play wasn't that common at the time of his rise and caught many people off guard. The party is over now; he needs to adapt.

GRUBBY VS DIMAGA  nice!

I really hope they're super biased and are just like, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" whenever a colossus shoots at hydralisks :D

I suppose we do still have 11.5 months... Those aren't the best koreans. I think it will be the same even after a year.
Marineking and MC are as Code S as you can be in my opinion. And Sound just seems extremely good, although unproven until now.
Though I agree with you, I expect a sad year for foreigners. Last Dreamhack and NASL already pointed in that direction.

It's funny to see everybody say that Stephano got figured out.
He did play very conventional at this tournament, how can he lose because he "got figured out" ?

He played and beat MKP during his ESWC run. It's the same players.

WELL, one thing is for sure... a Korean will take this tournament. And imo it will be a Korean-Korean final

Korean's have time travel, that is why they are so damn good!

Do you think its fine to have mechanical/gamer keyboards and mouse in the office?

Guess the protoss will not get any love.

hahaha that was funny. You saw him win the PL 3 right? To be fair imho he only beat one really good terran, but still beating the STC 3-1 DOES account for beating a good terran. And thats the only one I remember off hand. I am sure he beat many other good korean terrans. Also he beat quite a few good protoss including HuK and Inori (who beat MC).

So far this tournament looks like a new high water mark in the skill gap between Korea and the rest of the world, with Koreans posting a 23-1 record in Bo3s against foreigners thus far. That figure belies how close some of the matches have been, though.
