Not to be the grumpy old korean fanboy, but they are not exactly imitating anyone. Yes, I know that Stephano made heavy ling/infestor etc. etc. popular in Eurupe and the Western scene in general, but it would be nice if there was less gratuitous crediting at the expense of others.
Maybe 'imitate' was a bad choice of words, but Koreans themselves were even crediting Stephano in interviews.

stephano did not beat any top tier korean with his build..., his style is unique but he is not the one invent them either.

Really, who?
I remember Day9 saying Nestea copied Stephano in Blizzcon, but he said he made it himself and I even remembered him doing it against Ensnare way before Stephano became big.
Not saying they don't, I just don't know examples and would prefer it if you gave some players.
Coca is the only one who said it in an interview. Lucky also started playing similar styles after seeing Stephano in IPL3.
Regardless it's not really "Stephano" style, Fruitdealer used Ultra/ling/bane back in the first season of 2011 if i remember correctly. It became more common with the infestor buff.
WHY DID THEY PUT INORI OUT AGAINST A ZERG?!? That's obviously his weakest matchup! -banging head on keyboard- And what was Kiwikaki doing in the first match?! Every single time I've seen him try early pressure it fails. Every. Single. Time. I've. Seen. (Maybe he has made it work but I've never seen it.) I am disappoint. T_T

Kiwikaki
