If roach/ling/banes and ling/bane allins make you a bonjwa in sc2 I feel sorry for the future of the game.
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. 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.
Hey man, that is impossible! Stephano actually use grid hotkeys on french keyboard layout. The more you know...

Lol i guess people are just comparing stephano to flash just for jest? LOL. Stephano is the first sc2 bonjwa ofcourse people compare him to flash. I'll assume that you're trolling and not know what a bonjwa is. A lot of times the people who put Stephano on a pedastal like that aren't really Stephano fans; they're just doing that to get people like you to dislike Stephano fans. I don't think you understand. He really is, arguably, the best Zerg in the world.
He really isn't while he proves his - undeniable - skills on inferior stages.
When Stephano makes it to a GSL final a couple of times, sure you can call him the best Zerg in the world. Until then, it's just blowing smoke. The talk around Stephano now is identical to the talk about Naniwa before he went to Korea.

(also, funnily enough, one of MVP's claims to fame in BW was that he once took a game off flash, among other things. Yeah. Flash is so good that taking a game off of him can actually be considered a claim to fame :p)
Not counting the loss to JangBi in the latest OSL, the last time Flash lost a Bo3/5/7/X was in august 2010 (against Jaedong).
That says something I guess. Pure monster that guy.

"Do you feel more confident after being stomped by Polt?"
What a great question!
Otherwise I am enjoying this tournament though, can't wait for Stephano vs Polt. I hope Khaldor casts the final.

Why are you talking in the past tense?
He is single-handedly destroying everyone.
Need proof. Watch the game he played last night.

His hair is making him receive strength from Kerrigan since they share the hairstyle.

Idra is so famous because he has a good mouth to promote him. Other than that...
Stephanos is cocky but he wins to back it up. And when he loses he acknowledges the players skill not like idra.
In my eyes stephano is miles ahead of idra.
agreed.
IdrA is just famous because of his bad manner.
He is not even close to Stephano.

Anyone wondering how Puma has regressed as a player though?
I mean hes literally stagnant, in korea, he hasn't even been able to beat code B zergs,
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. PuMa is a player who's hated by a lot of people on this forum, he's obviously achieved a ton and his one of the highest money earners in sc2 history, and has continued to rake in the prize money since joining EG. I think you are misreading this topic, most of the hate is going towards Stephano atm. Either way, the hate/fanboyism is taking on ugly forms. Can't we enjoy the games without bashing/trolling/hating?
? All the posts i quoted were to do with PuMa, not Stephano, but yes I agree the constant bitching over Stephano really pisses me off.

Was? Still is. Flash should easily have more than 8 SL victories if MSL hadn't shut down and OSL didn't go MyStarleague crap.

To clarify a few things:
1. Stephano beat Polt in the last bo3 and Polt beat Stephano in bo3 before that.
2. Stephano generally beat Polt on the ladder (go to youtube and search for Polt and Stephano).
3. Stephano is the best foreigner.
4. Stephano is a top 5 zerg. His ELO in international events is higher than all zerg's and is just below IMMVPs. He actually just passed MVP. They already put in the Puma games.
Yeah but it doesn't really mean anything. MC and MVP play only in major international tournaments. If they stomped rotterdam in randomeucuptournament thing #5 they would have a higher ELO.

Ya, Flash is like MVP's peak but continuous for 4 years.

Agree on that. Been saying this for the whole day in this thread  He just seems awkwardly out of correct words all the time.

Not biased one way or another, but that's because Stephano plays against lower level players in a ton of different events (with regard to his ELO) compared to what many top-level player do.
