I mean they are basically a free win or once in a blue moon a silver bullet against a player who doesn't know them. I can understand that not every tournament can have MVP, but at least invite someone who can have a slight chance of winning, if not only compete well. Why are you implying they're a free win? Destiny played some damn good games and I mean some really really good games against not only Dragon but Demuslim too. Despite what the internet wants to think of him he's not as gimmicky and terrible as he used to be he figures shit out and it's showing yet when he does win it's considered a blue moon, same for Incontrol. God forbid pros put effort in to win games whereas the called upon "upcomers of the NA scene" to replace these "terrible pros" such as vilestate get crushed without a remotely good fight put up To be fair, State played Polt, and few people can put up a fight against him.
Would you guys have the same sympathy if Tyler Incontrol or Destiny played Polt and got destroyed in the same fashion? I highly doubt

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. You just talking crap you dont even know Stephano it seems like 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. did life win ipl 3 and win eswc vrs MKP? or recently 3-0 puma like he was nothing?
It's not really fair to say such thing. Life could totally win an IPL or ESWC given the chance. And a lot of korean zergs could rape puma.

Position on the Korean ladder is no proof of a player being Code S level. If we're going to declare every player who has won games against Puma or MKP to be Code S level, the entire Korean progamer scene must be in Code S.
Not being in Code S doesn't mean you're not Code S level.
If he's able to beat Jjakji, Keen, and Bomber, and his other match-ups are as good as his vT, then Life is Code S level.

Is there a place I can see the results?

i don't get the haters tbh, so if you beat code S players in tourneys in bo3s you are still not code S level? you can't argue against that kind of false logic

Because statistics and tournament results speaking, they are basically that.
I don't have a personal grudge or anything against them or whatever, it's just that we are talking about guys who had about 2 years to practice and their results keep being the same.
Personally I'd try something new.

Dunning-Kruger effect in action. You greatly misjudge the skill it takes to compete at that level. Playing 2 years doesn't mean that someone is going to become of a master of something, and it certainly doesn't mean that they lack the ability to master it. It just means that there is far more depth to the game than you realize. It isn't the generalities that seperate the good from the best, it is the subtleties.

Who gives a damn whether or not stephano is code s level when he hasn't tried to play in the gsl? Please take this pointless argument somewhere else.
Polt looking way too good.

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. 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. You just talking crap you dont even know Stephano it seems like 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. did life win ipl 3 and win eswc vrs MKP? or recently 3-0 puma like he was nothing? He beat Bomber and Keen and won the Iron Squid qualifier and won a Korean Weekly beating Jjakji in the final. But you seem to miss my point. Position on the Korean ladder is no proof of a player being Code S level. If we're going to declare every player who has won games against Puma or MKP to be Code S level, the entire Korean progamer scene must be in Code S. Not being in Code S doesn't mean you're not Code S level. If he's able to beat Jjakji, Keen, and Bomber, and his other match-ups are as good as his vT, then Life is Code S level. Then there are about 50 Code S level players lol..
That's fine?
Players not in Code S are still able to possess a Code S level of skill. Many of the players who did well in Code S were seeded into it via foreigner tournaments after dropping out - ie MC, Polt, etc. IIRC Stephano was offered a Code S spot, but he turned it down.
Code S itself isn't that special. People go in and out of it without drastic swings in their skill. The format avails itself to that.
