Also like someone said, the events in USA usually draws the best crowds, so these kinds memes usually end up pretty fun all-around.

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. It was coined during IPL3 by some "alternative starcraft community" | ||

Perhaps they can play the french national anthem when he wins? (I doubt it though ^^) Careful, we don't want to set a precedent and get the Korean national anthem stuck in our heads forever. | ||

Polt is good, but he has always had a hard time in Code-S (He is not one of the absolute strongest)... Stephano beat him a while ago, in Ezio cup, and Stephano is easily top 3 zerg atm. | ||

Yeah it's quite entertaining to watch these guys as they figure each other out and push themselves to find the edges they need to win. It looks like it will be a fairly back and forth rivalry too with Polt beating Stephano a couple times then Stephano finding what he needs to take a win. It doesn't hurt that they both seem to have taken it in stride and play around with the rivalry rather than taking it too seriously. The extreme fans of each player though can make LR threads less than pleasing with the insistence that the player they like most is the most deserving of victory. I prefer Polt to Stephano but it doesn't kill me to admit that he plays a damn good zerg and I'm actually curious what he looks like when off racing. | ||

Though I can understand how it can be annoying to some  I thought it was funny when it was about every foreigner, since that's how the joke started. Now that it's mostly turned into Stephano alone it's not all that fun. This video is priceless though: | ||

Artosis, during the Korea vs. The World GSL, referred to his international team as Team USA the entire series, and it goes to show now that any foreigner that beats Koreans automatically represents the USA. just goes to show how there's not much american competition and you guys know it so you steal other countries' players | ||

But, was it not GOM putting an American flag on the Foreigner team, while putting a Korean flag on the Korean team? | ||

There is no original post - its just sarcastic humor poking fun at the arrogant and ignorant American attitude that assumes all western civilization wants to be/is a part of good ol' USA. The fact that Americans are using the meme actually subverts it, which is ironic in of itself. | ||
