Bomber is definitely better than Stephano.
Curious, ForGG and Happy probably are.
The thing that you're missing is that you don't make Code S by beating a guy like MVPTails or Hero once.
You make Code S by beating 5 MVP.Tails in a row in Code B and 3 Liquid'Hero's in a row in Code A without losing a single game.
That is how hard GSL is.
A lot of people seem to think that beating players like this half the time is good enough, it's not. You need to beat these players all the time because if you don't win all your games in a row you won't make Code S.

No it wasn't. I'm not talking about online tournaments. They played at IPL3.

You are just ignoring those results that are in favour of Stephano. You are ignoring the Blizzard Cup and pretending they are meaningless because they show Stephano can live with top level Koreans.
Also you conveniently forgot that Stephano beat Real 2-0 at Assembly. So that means according to your own figures, Stephano has defeated Koreans most of the times he has played against them. He has also beaten MMA previously, again you strangely has somehow forgotten to list that in your 'full record against Koreans.' Hmmm.

If you treat 2011 results as meaningless because they are too far away, I treat HSC as meaningless because he was drunk and not trying his best. And overall in 2012 there are not enough games to have a valuable sample. If we put IPL3 out (underdog and on fire) and HSC out (drunk), it's still more or less 50%... If you add online events, he is largely over 50% I think. And I really don't see why we should completely rule them out, especially games played on US server which are widely regarded as more or less balanced. Which doesn't mean I think he can win GSL or even reach top8. Only zerg able to do that atm is DRG, his ZvT is so much better than Stephano atm.
And that's 2 - 0, clean sweep inc ?
Mh, I'd say slivko has the edge on the third.

Lol stephano just had the bad end of the build order for the 3rd time in a row... Slivko is kinda lucky (but luck isn't enough facing stephano :D)
Edit : well it seems it finnaly paid :D

Real is not a representative of the Korean scene. He might be from Korea but he lives in Germany, plays on a foreign team and has never played in the GSL.
This debate has run its course. Stephano's record in 2012 vs Koreans who actually playing in GSL speaks for itself.

If your going to be selective with Stephano's tournament results you might as well remove the Homestory IV games, I don't think anyone believes he took himself remotely seriously that weekend.

This debate has run its course. Stephano's record in 2012 vs Koreans who actually playing in GSL speaks for itself.
And what makes 01 / 01 / 2012 such an amazing date we have to skip all results before it ? If you want to pick a start date, you should pick the one when Stephano decided to become a pro, and that's around july 2011.
2 - 1 , gg Slivko. Would be nice to see a bo war won by Stephano for the next one

DRG not making Code S was fucking ages ago when barely anyone dropped from Code S and it was stupid hard to get in. Since the format revamp unless you get really bad bracket luck (Polt) or are slumping extremely hard (Bomber) you will get Code S if you're good enough.
That aside the fact that even guys like Polt and Bomber who are considerably better than Stephano have struggled to make Code S is yet more evidence that Stephano would not be able to beat 5 CreatorPrime's in a row to get there.

Hero is codeS level and he showed it. Your idea of having to beat "3 Hero" in codeA to get to codeS is out of this world, especially since you have right under your eyes the depressing list of codeA scrubs that tried this season.
You're just extremely delusional on the level of a foreign player and you're extremely exaggerating the level of players who battle on codeA for a spot in codeS.

The fact you even entertain the idea that Stephano is better than Bomber is hilarious. Hero is a borderline Code S player who will make Code S if he gets a solid bracket and plays well but isn't good enough to be Code S all the time. Why does Hero making Code S once matter more than the three times he didn't make it since he moved to Liquid?

Just stop. Stephano's record vs top end Koreans is quite poor since ESWC. 2 messages in a row hating on Stephano, I know I shouldn't even answer, but whatever: He said he can be in codeS, he didn't say he can beat every "top end Korean" he faces. he wins under 50% of his games vs Koreans Proof ? Stephano's record vs Korean players on LAN who actually competed in Season 1 of GSL 2012. 0-2 vs MKP 0-2 vs MC 1-4 vs Polt.
You take only LAN event, online events with $$ prizes aren't meaningful ? You disregard online events as well as events in winter 2011, I disregard HSC, it's my right as well as it's yours. See my point ? Thing is, it's your opinion vs mine, we both have "facts" to back it up, and while it's interesting to discuss it it's however tiring in the end because the same arguments are rehearsed every time. And we will never know, as Stephano will never play in GSL  And it looks like Stephano is (again) going to take another EU tournament  Online results are meaningless. You have no idea how much anyone is lagging or what hour of the night they're played in. It's just worthless for both sides. Stephano's record vs Koreans in full. 1-4 vs Polt 3-0 vs Puma 0-2 vs MKP 0-2 vs MC 0-2 vs Sound 0-1 vs MVP 0-1 vs MC 1-0 vs DRG 1-0 vs Hero 3-2 vs Tails 2-0 vs MKP 1-2 vs Boxer 0-2 vs TheSTC 4-0 vs Lucky 3-1 vs TheSTC 2-1 vs Inori 2-0 vs Violet 2-0 Boxer 0-2 vs Alive 0-2 vs MC In terms of series that's 10-10, in terms of games that's 25-24. Which means overall he has a 50% win rate. It's worth point out that half of his series and game wins were at IPL. If we only use games since IPL his record is 5-8. If we only use games in 2012 his record is 1-4 in series and 4-10. That's a 28% win rate vs Korean players (not all of whom were Code S/A) in 2012. You are just ignoring those results that are in favour of Stephano. You are ignoring the Blizzard Cup and pretending they are meaningless because they show Stephano can live with top level Koreans. Also you conveniently forgot that Stephano beat Real 2-0 at Assembly. So that means according to your own figures, Stephano has defeated Koreans most of the times he has played against them. Real is not a representative of the Korean scene. He might be from Korea but he lives in Germany, plays on a foreign team and has never played in the GSL. This debate has run its course. Stephano's record in 2012 vs Koreans who actually playing in GSL speaks for itself.
The debate has not run it's course but possibly you're arguments have. You have just selectively ignored those Korean results that weaken your argument. Why ignore the Zenio result this weekend? Why ignore the Real result? Why ignore the Blizzard Cup results? Why ignore the MMA result? All these results are part of the data-set and cannot be swept under the carpet. If you are going to have a complete list of Korean results, then make it a complete list or don't bother.
