well, koreans win all of the tournaments (korean or foreign), so its not surprising that we dont see non-foreign terrans winning anything. ;-)

Meh, foreign terrans are carried by the korean ones. That's fine by me.

Stephano is the perfect weekend tournament player because he says that he plays completely on feel so I wouldnt expect him to do well in a format like GSL were he has to prepare for a certain style and others can prepare for him. His strength lies in his ability to make on the fly decision like the in the game against grubby when grubby blocked both of stephano's expos with pylons and Stephano made 8 lings and sent them directly to grubbys main and won the game outright.

Very unlikely he will ever play GSL. Just not enough money for others than the winner. And winning it is quite unlikely. Simply not worth it if you want to earn money.
agreed. still would like to see him tested though.

Hard to execute cleanly doesn't mean it's shitty. Since standard marine/tank into ghost for super lategame seems to be completely out of fashion I think we'll see a resurgence of mech, to some degree at least.

Well not so sure about that. He did studie Polt and prepared a build to kill Polt so I think he will do well.

It's not even that ghosts are bad - if you're making marauders for Ultralisks there is really no reason not to get a COUPLE ghosts. When something gets nerfed or buffed, progamers stampede towards or away from it. It takes a little while for a middle ground strategy to be found.
Not to mention, still nobody getting ravens even though HSM is the terran version of archon toilet vs broodlords. Can't speak for battlecruisers tho, they really serve no purpose in tvz.
edit: ps, whats up with the stream shitting out

Not true.

Oh I don't know, some random crappy tournament where he beat IMMvp and IMNestea both in their prime and then proceeded to take 2nd place in MLG Providence. Nothing major.
