It seems a long time ago when he was a top player who could beat MC in a BO7. it's pretty weird, EG maybe jumped the gun with signing him Don't be silly, he has done good for himself overall. Some top finishes at MLG, Finalist of Dreamhack Winter 2011, and winner of NASL S2. He went deep in this tournament and lost to a good opponent, nothing to be ashamed of. Jesus, some of you people are so quick to pull out the pitchforks.
GSL results are kinda low though, I'm sure EG expected more in that department from him

I used to be a fan of Stephano untill I learned that all he wants from it is the money and he doesn't follow the scene whatsoever. Where is the passion? I don't understand why so many people root for him, yes his play is obviously stellar but I personally just don't find him interesting
People root for him because he has a better shot at beating koreans and winning than other people. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but some people just want to cheer fr winners and there are a lot of people who cheer strictly for foreigners vs korea. This is proven by every time in a foreign tourney we get like a korean finals or final 4 there will be 20+ posts of people going FUCK THIS IM OUT THIS TOURNAMENT IS STUPID etc etc only koreans

I don't remember who won that, but I bet if they hosted another Super Tournament, this Polt fellow would have a shot at winning it.

People are seriously comparing stephano to flash? Are you serious... It takes skill to make double evo before lair, cmon you know that VA star. /joke And it's not THAT easy hitting 1 and A in the right time together. I always fuck it up.
well that's why you make infestors of course. Helps make the 1a easier! And further solidifies bonjwa status of course.

I don't think you understand. He really is, arguably, the best Zerg in the world.

Flash is the best of the 5 bonjwas.
Flash holds the longest winning streak for both TvT (22 wins) and TvP (13 wins) in so called “regular games”.Flash is the most successful player in the history of progaming in terms of qualification.
After his 2010 achievements, Flash was nicknamed God Young-Ho by Korean fans.
According to TLPD Flash is currently the only player with a winrate greater than 70% in all of his matchups.
Now he is 14:0 in PL.

Did he have even more than 1 GSTL appearance before joining EG? All he did was beat up on a really struggling prime team once as far as i know

As much as I hate Stephano's attitude, I have to respect his play. He's like idra except he actually gets results. What attitude is that. Unlike Idra he does not complain about balance that much, his BM is in-game, or very subtle out of game as far as I know. And unlike Idra he does not bash players he knows nothing about.
I assume he's referencing the mantra that Stephano cares more about money>the game, although I could be wrong.
As for Stephano's BM, he has been BM before, especially towards players worse than him. I'm not sure I'd say it was on the same level as Idra's though.

Stephano said before that he usually loses to polt, not confident against him in the finals, let's see how it goes They are 4-4 in 2012 and he 3-1'd Polt at the Eizo cup 1 month ago, I'm not sure about his definition of "usually" :| well that sounds promising, can't recall the exact words he said now but he definitely respected polt
It's because Polt was playing really late. Stephano does not really count those games as a win.

You really can't say Puma doesn't understand this matchup, maybe he lost it a bit atm, but beating DRG/Stephano/Idra/July etc all doesn't come without understanding the matchup.
Don't inflate stephano's commanding victory saying Puma is shit at TvZ.
Miya - Puma 2-0
Neel - Puma 2-0
Ragnarok - Puma 2-1
Leenock - Puma 2-1
Thats his ZvT record in korea this year so far, and having watched most of thoes games he wasent even very good in them either :/

Well his win rate says it all really.
And hes unbeaten in 14 games in this current proleague season, against the very best players.

Polt vs Stephano should be a extremely good series, I don't who is going to win, but I will be rooting for Polt.
Agreed, Puma is a great player but TvZ is his weakest MU so Stephano beat him quite easyly. Polt on the other hand is a beast in TvZ and seems to play exactly the style, Stephano has problems against. I think it will be close, but Polt may win this.

Youre troll jokes > mine.
Huzzah sir, I commend to your efforts.
But we all agree that bane ling infestor is a bad combo. Do you know how many keyboards stephano has gone through?
His 1, A , S, Z, E, F key's are all gone. He only has the switches now.

No he's not, and he never will be until he competes in the GSL. How this is even arguable is mindboggling.
