LOL! I think it was fucking HILARIOUS with the US National Anthem thing :D

Come on guys, lighten up! Stephano is ok with it, so should you!

Perhaps they can play the french national anthem when he wins? (I doubt it though ^^)

Same tbh, i wouldn't say it annoys me as much as others. I just find it a bit tedious and boring tbh. The joke is old. Let it die already.


Wait... not everyone has the same sense of humor?

I think it started with Artosis calling the World team from GSL "Team USA", even though he, as the coach, was the only US player.

This has never been serious and I don't get the people getting so horribly offended by this. I mean if most of them were from france then maybe, but most of the people whining are almost always from another european country. I mean, even stephano finds humor in it!

That's the nature of some memes, they get funnier to people because they've been going on for soooo long.

I think random people in chat/reddit/etc shouting USA, USA has gotten boring, but I really laughed out loud when they played the US anthem.

Guys... we confirmed with Stephano if this would be OK to do. Relax.. not gonna troll him. (although he has been trolling us all weekend )


thank you, hopefully this will put whiners to rest

How does that help the fact that the joke is really old and way overused? I don't care if people think it's hilarious to call Stephano American (I'd say it's pretty funny since the US has such a ridiculous low number of good players that they actually need to steal players from other countries to feel good), I'm just annoyed that stuff like this will make the USA meme even more popular and stream chats will once again because unreadable for all the USA spam.

As far as I am aware, the original joke was made when Artosis was leading team world vs team korea in the GSL special team event. He unintentionally refered to team world as "team usa" despite having zero US players on it.

I have no idea when people started applying it to stephano specifically though.

I assume you've never been to Dreamhack, more specifically, you were not attending Dreamhack WInter 2010 during the SC2 grand finals WHEN THE FUCKING ROOF WAS LIFTED

If Polt loses to Stephano, all hope lost for me to beat good Zergs T_T-_-;


Why, TvZ is still terran favored in korea.


Because Polt is amazingly good while I'm not. So if he fails to beat Stephano (a very good Zerg) how can I beat other good Zergs in comparison... when I'm not even half as good as Polt T_T


Zergs you run into aren't exactly coming close to Stephanos level either.


How do you know? I'd say the last time I met Stephano on ladder... was less than 2 month ago, but thanks for informing me on how I met or who I play against, didn't know.

Awesome exchange, made me lol.

That tourney in I think it was Poland had pretty insane crowd. The one in the theatre where Carmac and the audience trolled everyone.
