Until you regularly start meeting people his skill in the grand final off important tournaments, the fault for losing is all yours. Naruto is still a semi-pro, try to take a more respectful tone please. | ||

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. | ||

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 extended series? 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. | ||
