People asking why Zenio is playing so bad, Kas is playing really good, he makes you look bad...



no zenio is playing super bad/sloppy


Well, Kas is very good, and it's true he's playing well. Obviously Zenio got outplayed this series. I don't know how good he is normally, but these games were very sloppy and seriously bring into question his multitasking abilities.

hes code s good


I reckon he's more likely to settle into the Code A region tbh, didn't really look like he belonged in Code S this season and only made it back after Inca failed to defend a scouted roach bust in the up and downs lol.

infestor ling is not viable against tank/marine imo.. you can't trade efficiently and you can never kill the medivacs.. kas didn't even drop the main.. this style only kinda works if you totally crush an early push with lots of lings ..

Stephano disagrees ... for example you can kill die medivacs with some fungals+infested terrans. But Kas showed how to micro perfect against this style last game - focusing the infestors and banes with tanks.
Stephano's style is more refined in his hands, as he's very used to it, and relies on dual evolution chamber for the upgrades. It's not the composition that makes it good, it's the way it all fits together timing wise, Zenio can't just adjust on the fly to fit to a well-timed out, differing style and do it as well as if he had pre-planned it.


you think killing medivacs with infestors is efficient?? it's not..


i think it's good enough to trade some regenerating infestor energy against flying heal-busses which won't let marines die. sure mutas are better for this, but not as versatil and cannot control space on the map as well.

That's what people say about every foreigner does decently against a Korean. Then they fail miserably in GSL.

It's close between them atleast it's sure.


If you count Select as a foreigner, he's up there as well.


As everyone know, Select is only a foreigner when he lose. Otherwise he's Korean.

:d

He's barely Code A material. Frankly he's lucky he even got to Up-and-Downs.

lol. Your opinion is invalidated by dismissing Thorzain based on apparent lack of results and then attempting to rank Demuslim above him. Bwahahaha.

i wouldnt say stephano failed... he played the topstars and went out of his group with 2-2 (mvp, mc, leenock, hero).
i wouldnt call either stephano or kas "Code s level" yet (to qualify for code s you gotta have code S skill AND luck anyway...), but its true that kas is called the best foreign terran over thorzain and select for a while now.

He got 4th in NASL s2, all killed QIM in IPL team arena, and is regarded by koreans as one of the best foreigners. Not to take anything from the other guys but I think thorzain is still the best foreigner terran.
