Stephano got high on the Korean ladder, what was it, like top 15 or so at its peak, before he quickly dropped down as people got used to his style? People use it as evidence, that he is Code S quality.. There are so many Koreans who've been very high on the ladder, who haven't even been able to make Code A so far... Life, who has been #1 numerous times, and was #1 again for quite a while just recently, bombed out in the Code A qualifiers a couple of weeks ago.. There's nothing to support that Stephano is a Code S level player. Top 7. And was 3rd zerg ever who got over 72% win ratio on the korean GM ladder. And he never dropped down he keep going up and up
Since when is ladder result a qualification for Code S?

His style is really only "blind counter"-able in TvZ. In ZvZ... well, it's ZvZ. In PvZ, his style is fairly standard, just with slightly more Roaches and a big Infestor/BL switch later on, which maybe has a timing window when Hive is morphing. Yeah yeah, he barely it made into Gold... every time Stephano plays the haters come out in droves... It's my fault actually for reading this thread...
Yeah, I'm such a hater.

When I say Stephano is really good. I mean it. It's very hard for me to say that about any player unless they've proven themselves time and time again. If you get a seal of approval from someone such as myself it means you are doing something right. Whatever that means to you. Only my personal opinion but I've been around the block. I'm not sure who this was aimed at, but I agree with you: Stephano is really, really good. It's just that there are some players who are even better.

They perform as well on ladder as he's ever done, a number of them have picked up great wins in clan wars, and most of them are improving and not fairly stagnant. All I'm saying is I'd like to see more people getting a chance at these events and not the same old popular community figures who're never going to do anything get invites over and over.
Those unknowns need to prove themselves, there are plenty of other tourneys that have open brackets etc where they can make a name for themselves, sc2 has too many tourneys for players to play the old "I'm discriminated against" card when it comes to their own lack of exposure

I would say he is at least Code A level though. I think everyone would agree with that.
I heard hwanni? i think talking on the IM stream about how good Stephano is. so give that some thought.

Why not play these games after the Lone Star Clash? They just lost 10k viewers before broadcasting their winnersbracket semifinals.

Stephano beat both MVP and DRG and has 100% win rate againts them. So he is better than 2 GSL champions, cant beat that logic !

No, his position in the ladder was much lower by the time he left, I'm pretty sure.
Edit: As I write this, Life is #2 with 70.7% win rate, and he couldn't even make it into Code A this season, and was knocked out in ro48 last season.

No, the account he was playing on was in GM, he did make top 15 or so at some point in Korean GM, but dropped down quite a bit after that. Of course everyone will have their own subjective opinion on why he dropped. I offered one possibility. In the end, what's more important is that there are a ton of players on Korea, who've struggled making it out of Code B, who have done better than Stephano on ladder.
that fast, really ? I don't think so. again its how quickly he managed to be in the top 10 of the ladder with a pretty good ratio in knowing nothing of the korean scene, not following the GSL which is amazing. the rest is pure speculation that nobody will be albe to ever answer.

T.T Its becuase they dont understand how a foreigner player can do this without korean training. 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. No one said they would roll him ezpz, no one is denying that Stephano is Code S caliber. Stop making things up to support your terrible arguments and bias. 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. It's hard to define what really is code s-caliber. If you mean he's better than some of the bottom code s players, I agree. Sometimes luck does play an important role in qualifying for Code S. However, if by Code S caliber you mean he's tip top in Korea, it's definitely not true. He never actually played in Code S for a season or two so it's really hard to tell if he actually is that good. Stephano got high on the Korean ladder, what was it, like top 15 or so at its peak, before he quickly dropped down as people got used to his style? People use it as evidence, that he is Code S quality.. There are so many Koreans who've been very high on the ladder, who haven't even been able to make Code A so far... Life, who has been #1 numerous times, and was #1 again for quite a while just recently, bombed out in the Code A qualifiers a couple of weeks ago.. There's nothing to support that Stephano is a Code S level player. The bolded part is pure conjecture/imagination, invented as an explanation for why his winrate went down from ~70% to ~60%. He also never made "Top 15 on ladder" - I don't think he ever made it into GM. Realistically, his winrate dropped mostly because he started facing decent players rather than lower Masters/Diamonds. His style is really only "blind counter"-able in TvZ. In ZvZ... well, it's ZvZ. In PvZ, his style is fairly standard, just with slightly more Roaches and a big Infestor/BL switch later on, which maybe has a timing window when Hive is morphing. Yeah yeah, he barely it made into Gold... every time Stephano plays the haters come out in droves... It's my fault actually for reading this thread... Yeah, I'm such a hater.

When I say Stephano is really good. I mean it. It's very hard for me to say that about any player unless they've proven themselves time and time again. If you get a seal of approval from someone such as myself it means you are doing something right. Whatever that means to you. Only my personal opinion but I've been around the block. I'm not sure who this was aimed at, but I agree with you: Stephano is really, really good. It's just that there are some players who are even better.

Am I missing the punchline or are you just spewing lies deliberately? Fuck off. If I'm wrong about something, tell me I'm wrong. Don't be a dick about it.

There's nothing to support that Stephano is a Code S level player. Top 7. And was 3rd zerg ever who got over 72% win ratio on the korean GM ladder. And he never dropped down he keep going up and up Since when is ladder result a qualification for Code S? Stephano beat both MVP and DRG and has 100% win rate againts them. So he is better than 2 GSL champions, cant beat that logic !
He got actually rolled pretty hard by mvp who took a risk and blind countered his lings only opening with mass hellions
