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

without him french have nothing as well. (As they are used to). Leave them their one champ :D


You're so right, we have only him and sebastien loeb wich is few, let him french please ! :p


I'll make you a deal. We trade off Stephano and Idra in 3 month cycles. Stephano might be the better player, but who doesn't love idra drama?

Since Bling is living in the Millennium house, you guys should totally call dibs on him too. He crossed the channel, now he's yours!

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?


Polt would have to win two BO5 series against Stephano to take the tournament if I'm not very mistaken. I think he can.

can anyone find the original USA post that triggered the meme?


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.

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


Way before IPL3, at least when it comes to any white skinned foreigner that are left in a tournament with koreans. I should know I was one of those chat trolls drilling it during the early jtv gsl restream days lol.

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

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.


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


Nestea isn' what he used to be...


nestea is clearly terrible and much worse than stephano

That's a huge statement.


Top 5?

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

DRG Leenock and Nestea are above him by virtue of competing in Korea alone. I can't even begin to comment on Stephano's level in comparison to Koreans till he starts playing more Koreans. He's probably the best foreigner and is definitely the best foreign zerg.

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?


You can argue that Nestea is in a bit of a slump, but I'd say July is playing better than Stephano at the moment.
Everyone is either delusional, a nihlilst, or dead from suicide.

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.


Naruto is still a semi-pro, try to take a more respectful tone please.


How am i being disrespectful exactly? I have not said anything insulting, i've just stated facts. There is simply no logic in arguing that Stephano winning ONE bo3 vs Polt means HE has no hope defeating high level zerg players.
I'm probably being ironic

It seems to me that Stephano doesn't really need a team, which allows him to just be with whomever he wants. This tournament should have him breaking the $100k market in earnings..

Would be insane if stephano wins another big tournament like mlg/ipl and then retires. He would become the first real foreign legend. ^^

Obviously someone is going to say Nestea but we all know you're going to argue for the sake of arguing and start saying that Nestea is a lousy passe player.
