Not in the world :/, but best foreign zerg most definitely. Dont think anyone can prove otherwise atm.

Stephano's macro, micro, timing, strategy, and game sense is a complete package. It's hard to think of another NA/EU player who is good in every aspect. Sen and Naniwa can compete, but both have their weaknesses - Stephano has very few weaknesses.

Stephano is way better, but it shouldn't be 20:1 in rato...

If you watch Stephnano on ladder agains the top EU players.....he pretty much stomps everyone in EU...
|
We CAN call Stephano a top 2 foreign Zerg I guess, but not more. He still has to prove himself in GSl against the koreans yet, where every single other foreigner before him fell. The difference between him and the other foreigners is that he just doesnt make mistakes. So do all the koreans, but the thing is, some koreans play genius + flawless, and thats whats called a GSl champion.

Would it be possible that Grubby loses the mindgame and isn't able to perform as good as he should do on paper?
|
Ugh why did Grubby wait so long to warp in.. then he did it when the lings were about to kill the pylon. T_T There goes any chance of aggression.
|
when these 2 meet it's always as if stephano was in grubby's mind, perfect reads, nothing works for grubby
|
That defensive micro... Kills the pylon during warp-in and saves the queen by strafing around roaches...

He has already played versus koreans. That's really annoying to have to " prove yourself in GSL ".

very dissapointing finals, PvZs used to look like this half a year ago. Protoss does some 2 base bullshit, zerg holds and hurls roach+x till the end, meh

The only foreigner left in GSL, among all the koreans

Very good engagement by Grubby
Edit Not that it mattered lol
|
Stephano never loses a queen

I don't know how Protoss are supposed to counter that. To say the truth, I don't think they can.

GSL is different than any other tournament.
