I don't think stephano is code s quality. I'd need to see him more against koreans. He's a top foreigner no doubt, and probably best foreigner, but I'm not ready to even call him code A quality yet without more evidence of facing quality opponents. | ||

...no it isn't. Stephano is 0-5 against MC, and Genius played the best PvZ in the world right up until the Code S finals, where he kind of fell apart. Even then, he still came fairly close to beating DRG in a Bo7, dying on Crossfire in the end. Anyone contemplating Stephano defeating either MC or Genius in anything other than a cross-server Bo1 is delusional. | ||

Stephano got so many koreans fans in the short time when he was in Korea.Play XP was goign crazy about him. All the best Koreans have sayd so many times Stephano is easy a code S player but still people cant belive it. He isn't an easy code S player. You are a fool if you believe that. Stephano is EASILY top 3 foreigner, arguably the best foreigner. He MIGHT, if he has lucky brackets, be able to qualify for code A. He is not a code S player. He has the potential to be a code S player, but right now he isn't. I'm sorry, the Koreans are actually that much better than the foreigners. The Koreans respect Stephano because they know they can't walk into a tourney and fuck around and smash him, but that doesn't mean they think he'd beat them. | ||

You would be a perfect couple. | ||

I see Protoss making the same mistake when doing warp gate pushes all the time, which is letting a single probe go off and make a pylon before pushing. Zerg scouts for that and counters it all the time. Why not just bring a probe with the army and force the Pylon to go up? | ||

Hell, plenty of koreans have said that they respect idra in the passed and then have gone on to roll him. It's called professionalism and being humble. They respected IdrA in the past when he was a Code S quality player. They respect Stephano today because he is very good and you can see it from his play. The thing that Stephano has that very few foreigners have is what people used to call star sense. His great decision making and flexibility is what's missing from many foreigners' play. Take a guy like IdrA - he plays one style well but if he doesn't know the build he's facing or if he's called upon to make a snap decision, he fails hard, and that's the same for other foreigners. Stephano, by contrast, makes amazing decisions in clutch situations. His last game vs. Grubby is just another showcase of that. | ||

Until Stephano actually tries Code A, then you can't call him Code A/S material until then. Remember when everyone kept saying that Naniwa is/was best foreigner and could roll over Koreans no problem? He tries his luck at Code A.... the rest is history. | ||

Idra does a lot of dumb things, stephano does not. | ||

Actually, it was only after Naniwa failed in Code A that he went on to beat MVP and Nestea at MLG. If the rest is history, you need to study that subject more. | ||

Anyone contemplating Stephano defeating either MC or Genius in anything other than a cross-server Bo1 is delusional. 5 games are far from being a meaningful sample size, and if you're actually suggesting that Stephano has no shot at winning a bo3 against Genius or MC, you're prolly a lot more delusional than any Stephano fanboy | ||
