Please have some respect for the players, teams, and tournament.
Criticism is fine, criticism without anything to back it up isn't so cool.
Thanks! |

wow stephano.....his unbeatable aura has been wore off this tournament. Only foreigners considered stephano unbeatable. There's a reason he normally avoids the tourneys with most koreans in it.

Stephano is good and probably best foreigner, but he's no where close to the level of hype he's built himself by playing against inferior competition mostly. This pretty much sums up my opinion on Stephano perfectly.... Guy is obviously good, but people hyping him up as best ZvP in the world, code S etc. is just silly..... the hardest opponent he has beaten for his championships is polt. Now Polt is good too, but he's just another GSL average Terran imo... GSL average Terran who has won a GSL? How is a GSL winner just average?
yeah wtf, gsl winner = average terran, k

he gets stupid amounts of credit for beating players like white-ra, who isn't even a top 15 protoss.
He might be overhyped but he is still one of the best (if not the best) foreigner zerg.

Not a single foreigner looking convincing this MLG. How depressing. Huk looks okay, not amazing but solid enough to take 1st in his group.
Well, Heart has to lose both his games now if HuK wants to reach #1...

Is Crazymoving on Infinity Seven?
correct. They just picked him up recently. CodeA player. He crushed took out sase and while watching his screen live his APM was probably as fast as DRG and mechanics are 100%.

Such bad luck for stephano. Bad luck? He hit Inori. Inori isn't known for his PvZ being good. I remember Mvp beating Inori with both zerg and protoss on the IM stream.
Yup, that was fun. Neither game was even close really either xD

Nothing against Stephano, but hopefully being knocked out of this mlg slows down his hype train a bit. it is no hype. Stephano just plays great. watch his livestream ... his scouting, his macro, his crisis management, his unit controll is top. That doesn`t make him unbeatable though. I will still be a fan - simply for the fact that he plays great.
I agree, despite he doesn't really scout that much^^

Don't know why they dropped Axslav but kept LZGamer.... because axslav's contract ran out, same with strifecro's, they were signed at the same time. LZ is problaly still on contract which is why he isnt dropped, if they even want to drop him that is
That explains a lot.

I mean in general he had one of the toughest open bracket runs.

Heart's worst matchup is tvt I think. So he may lose to Kawaii.

Crazymoving defending this cannonrush nicely. Love it when one of these dumb cannon-attemps gets crushed. Even when it is done by MC.

the free stream quality has dropped from 480 watchable but bad to, holy shit this is the worst fucking quality I have ever seen I cannot even see units on the screen. =[
The bitrate is too low, so everytime there is a lot of movement, it gets blurry. I guess it is to save bandwidth...streams now down for me as I write

No, he gets stupid amounts of credit for showing awesome games, winning tournaments, having a winning record vs most koreans. But mostly showing awesome games. His play. Just look at it.
But nobody is a superman, nor a bonjwa of anything, and anyone is allowed losses. People overhype, other don't like that and thus downgrade the guy to compensate, like you. :/

Inori and Stephano 1-1 and Polt vs Morrow 1-1
2 fan fav's favored to win the whole thing facing elimination in round 8 of 9 lower bracket rounds before even reaching the Champ bracket let alone the end of Saturday Favoured because they're fan favourites. In reality? This is no upset. It is an upset. Everyone saying otherwise doesn't follow the scene. Put HuK into the open bracket and not into the group of luck and lets see if the all praised player can be top 6 as well. Its just blatant bullshit to call Stephano hyped now, because he lost 2 series in total, to Polt / Inori. Who's calling Steph hyped? I think he's the best foreigner. Damn good player. He lost to good players. Simple as that. Stephano is unquestionably the best foreigner but there are people out there that would proclaim him as the best zerg in the world, best player in the world, second coming of Flash, and basically everything he hasn't proved to be yet.
I'm basically in agreement with you, but there's no point in declaring "the best" of anything at any point with such a young game. Remember when FruitDealer was the best, or Nestea had never lost a ZvZ, or Mvp was unbeatable, or MC didn't lose against Z... My point is, people peak when they figure out something new, and fade away as others catch up. Stephano hasn't really played that much yet, so he is riding the up-swing. I expect he'll fade like everyone else as time goes by. I hope he doesn't take the foreigner scene with himself...
