If Stephano was as good as people are hyping him up, he should have won every single tournament he entered, including MLG Orlando, DH Winter 2011, Blizzard Cup, HSC4 etc. He is good, no denying, he won IPL 3 which is a big deal since it had a really stacked line-up. However he is not consistent.
The comparison to DRG is almost an insult and slander on DRG's name considering how DRG, tournament after tournament, has kept going deeper and deeper and closer to winning, and now he is in the final of the GSL again.
Respect to Stephano for what he has done, but until he wins more tournaments against great Koreans, you can't even put him on the same pedestal as them. Using DRG as an example of consistensy is fantastically ironic considering he was known for the opposite just a few months back. He even posted about it on TL, claiming he would turn around his underperforming. And so he did. Yeah, the only truely consistent player in SC2 at the moment is MVP. While he stopped winning tournaments, at least he is still making decent runs and not bombing out in the first run. uhm... I would agree, that he is still the best terran, but he just dropped out of code s. using him as an example for consistency at the moment is kind of unfitting. He still made it to Ro16 and could technically get back for the next season just by winning his 1 game in code A? Thats already better than players like MC who totally dropped out, DRG who dropped out totally, MMA who dropped out totally and no one would argue they aren't top tier players. They were not top-tier players at that point in time.
So isn't it inconsistency then?
MC was a top tier player after his 2 GSL wins, then dropped out totally and wandered in the wilderness before coming back.
MMA was a GSTL champ then failed in code A for 2 consecutive seasons before getting a code S spot through MLG.
DRG was LG winner and GSTL hero as well and then bumped out in code A, got to code S then got kicked out again before coming back recently.

Definitely an impressive record from Stephano, but I'd be even more impressed if he could go toe to toe with Protoss titans from Korea like Genius, Puzzle, Parting, MC. That would truly cause me to respect him and admit the hype he gets is legitimate.
Edit, Crazy game, JYP vs White-Ra, both doing Immortal-Warp prism micro. This is the kind of PvP I was actually looking forward too.

Any update on Moon vs cloud game 2 yet? decides if Bratok advances or not well cloud should be favored considering how awful moon played vs bratok, so don't get your hopes up too high ^^ although 2:0 for cloud would be tiebreak no? yea I don't really favor one player between cloud or bratok. I'm just curious as to who would advance. 2-0 cloud = cloud advances. 2-1 cloud of 2-1 moon = bratok advances. I'm expecting cloud 2-0 but never mind. as soon as I post this someone posts it's 1-1. grats bratok
Uh, no. If Cloud wins, he proceeds.
