It actually kinda started with the GSL and Artosis calling the team "team USA" with no (or 1 or 2) actually Americans on the team :p.

Shit, I hope we get to see Stephano in Korea soon. Not sure I've seen a westerner play this tight a game before.

BTW the USA thing....some injoke? Can someone explain? (Not been following the scene very closely these past few months.)


I dunno if I would describe it as a joke. I am not sure what to call it to be honest.

Since Stephano is the best foreigner some americans decided he must be american and that is pretty much it. Personally I think it is 33% retarded, 33% awkward and 33% sad. First it is like "what are they talking about?", which quickly goes into "haha what a funny joke (not!)" and then it is more like "okay this is actually kind of sad" type of joke.


I agree 100%


So what your saying is? us at TL who find it funny, are the 1%? :D

that has nothing to do with rofl

where do people come up with this kinda stuff


People come up with this stuff because the american anthem and patriotism went too far too many times in younger history. But I personally see that not in context to the events this evening as much as others obviously do. I personally think it's pretty funny

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

This is the first time Polt has been beaten by Stephano I think, and Stephano probably is around top5-10 zerg in the world...

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.


top 3 zerg in the world

It didnt came from a post. It was Artosis, captain of team World (in GSL's World Vs Korea) that slipped with it. Everybody "LOOOOL'd" in the LR thread and in chats and since then (sometimes more than others) whenever a foreigner wins something against koreans somebody remembers that.

So its not a "stephano thing". He wasn't even a known SC2 player at that time let alone part of the World team.

Not just using, created. It's americans poking fun at ourselves. And people are getting offended by it. Now THAT is irony.

yea, easily better than DRG, Leenock, and Nestea.... lol

I hope for the posters sake he meant top 3 foreign lol


well, top 3 zerg is an overstatement just as much as top 3 foreign zerg is an understatement :D
top 10 zerg and best foreigner is safe to say i think for the moment.

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.


dude calm down. all the replies were rational and logical. and if you think that we are going to believe you meet people of stephano's skill on LADDER all the time....you got another thing coming. You do realize that Stephano is arguably the BEST Zerg by far in the foreign scene? He is a class above the pros....so obviously he is leaps and bounds ahead of the random GMs you face.

Ok, MMR inflation matched you against Stephano, still doesn't mean you are anywhere near the level where you should worry about it. Until you regularly start meeting people his skill in the grand final off important tournaments, the fault for losing is all yours.
I'm probably being ironic

IMO "top 3" type of posts should result in ban. They always snowball and people start arguing for no reason.

its only funny to those who saw the gsl in the spring/summer of 2011 with korea vs the world


I saw it, and it was at first initially funny. But now like he said... It's just tedious. It just won't die haha.

Next time Idra wins something, people should really start chanting VIVA LA FRANCE! It's only fair.

EDIT: He even has an issue with French canadians, and every french person I've met have made fun of their dialect! IT'S PERFECT.

If you were Canadian you'd know all French Canadians are mildly insane. But most importantly, Idra only called out French Canadians because of Kiwi, Slush and Drewbie always screwing him on ladder and in tourneys.
