The USA joke is funny , why?
Because you all know there's a some kind of latent rivalry bewteen France and USA and the fact that a french is ok being called American and the American agreed to welcome a french is amusing and pacifying.

Well, despite the fact that Stephano just beat Polt... I still think Polt can take the tournament. Korean players are just so damn good at never giving up. Is it extended series?

I'm a little sad for Millenium, there's not chance in hell they will be able to keep Stephano for another season. He simply is the best foreign player int he world, and he's becoming one of the most marketable players in the United States. Frankly, instead of spending a fortune on two underachievers like HuK and Idra, EG could just go and buy Stephano.

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.


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.

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

wat


I would say he is comfortably top 5 at the very least. It really isn't that much of a stretch.

Maybe not a stretch but I would take 5 Korean zergs over him.

That's a huge statement.

1-DRG
2-Leenock
3-NesTea
4-Stephano
5-CoCa/Curious?

This. There aren't THAT many top top level zerg players in Korea. The obvious top 3 is clearly DRG, Leenoch and Nestea, but who do you add afterwards? It's hard to rate Stephano since he hasn't tried his hand at GSL etc, but from his performances vs top koreans, I'd say it's safe to say he's the closest thing we got to code S by a long shot and that should comfortably place him very high in a top zerg ranking.

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.

Well if you go back to the true origins of this with the "Team USA" lead by Artosis with not a single american player, it's actually more a joke on the USA. I was a bit meh too at first since I thought it was just about americans being arrogant in general, but turns out it's not really.

Still, french anthem the next time Idra wins something would fucking own. Would be kind of fitting too, actually Idra's particular flavor of arrogance has always struck me as being more french than american

Is it? Which are the 3 best zerg´s then? I mean sure you have DRG and then I guess the second would be Leenock (?) and then?

Two Bo5's.

If Stephano wins the first, he's champion. It's basically a best-of-three best-of series with Stephano up 1-0.
