The reason Nestea could be considered better is because Nestea takes the time to come up with really creative strategies that are designed to exploit his opponents decisions. Stephano, for the most part, just plays his own game. This is why you have "counter" builds prepared for him. If he scouts it, which he will, he'll react. And if you give him an inch, he'll take a mile and take the game. | ||

Please open your eyes to reality. Sad that MaNa and Grubby lost, but their big tournament wins will come this year, I am sure! Looking forward to the finals of this one...  | ||

But TLPD says what beastyqt says He gets his stats from Stephano and Mana themself, yesterday during their match : "Stephano : Ready for the 47-3? "Mana : Not a chance, it will be 45-5" It's includes custom training games i think, and i don't know when they started to count their win. | ||

I think Stephano could handle Code A as long as he understands what to prioritize first. He doesn't panic and he executes his plans fairly well, which are the true keys. | ||

He should have won the Blizzard Cup than, instead of going 2-2 This Stephano is the "best in the world" crap is seriously starting to make me want to root against him. | ||

His stream is available for everyone to watch; why don't you go check it out and see how good he really is for yourself? | ||

Like I said... people prepare counter builds for the kid and beat him with them, like RGNspades did during his stream today. Stephano smashed him in a macro game1, then Spades did a nice marauder hellion all-in game 2 and won. His stream is available for everyone to watch; why don't you go check it out and see how good he really is for yourself? I have, he's obviously good, but he's not anywhere near as good as you say he is. Claiming otherwise just shows ignorance and narrow mindedness. | ||

I mean, even if it's an analogy, comparing Spades to MVP is just downright insulting. I love the insinuation too...MVP obviously isn't as good as Stephano in a "real macro game." -_- | ||

Exept this cup and blizzard cup, tell me when Stephano plaid cheesy rush roach? They seem to play sloppy because Stephano never play like that, it's unexpected  1. He played fast muta on antigua at SC4 against Thorzain, one or two weeks ago. 2. Tons of time on ladder at least; there was an MLG he played it v boxer. 3. Against MMA at IPL, against MKP at HSC4, etc. Stephano's versatility is another facet of his game that makes him so good. He doesn't do these builds all of the time but players have to know that he's capable of doing them; it keeps them honest. | ||

And wether you like it or not, Stephano has 2nd best ELO in the world, with only Mvp above him | ||
