Difference is...Genius doesn't lose and feel retarded like I do T_T

That's a huge boost...Stephano is not better than Nestea. You have no reason to believe that.


No reason? Stephano has been beasting it up hardcore lately, and Nestea not so much... Problem is Stephano doesn't compete with koreans often so it s hard to know precisely at what level he is compared to them. I look forward to the Iron Squid to see that. If he wins Iron Squid, it will be one more proof that he is one of the best (if not the best) zerg players in the world


Doing well as a foreigner doesn't put you on the same level as a 3 time GSL Champion.

You still have no reason to believe he's better than Nestea.

Nestea was good, and was without any doubt the best Z in the world, but it's a very long time ago. Since this he just lose to random 2nd-class Korean player. That's all. And Stephano really good atm.

Except all we see of Stephano is him beating foreigners that also get rolled by Koreans...>_>

There's no positive evidence for Stephano being any better than any Korean zerg.

The ironsquid tournament will settle this But Stephano going 2-2 in his Blizzcup group was a pretty good performance.

(and getting to top20 in the Kor ladder when you compare it to Idra's for instance, still gives a small idea)
edit : wanted to edit and not quote ><

Ladder is meh.

God.
Yes. But when you compare it to another person's ladder performance you still can get an idea.

But MU vs MU. You can have a guy like Idra who's shitty vP tanks his ladder rank, vs a more rounded player like stephano who basically plays the same in every mu.

No. Ladder is all about playing much, not good. A lot of players also dont take it serious. He only can prove himself in the GSL, nowhere else

I don't think it will. Remember when boxer did that build that destroyed stephano at MLG? the hellion marine push. That's what you're going to get if you go to the GSL. Koreans will take their time to study your play and prepare builds for you, something that you won't find on foreigner lan evens since they last for less than a week.

Edit: Not saying that stephano isn't good, he is pretty much the best foreigner zerg right now, I'm just saying that we can't say that he would be able to do well in the GSL because it is a much different environment.
