Someone has to eat their words. Don't be ridiculous. Idra retracted what he said about Stephano long ago. He should never have made statements like that in the first place to be honest. Don't see how he's being ridiculous. "shit, Stephano lost, i'm so angry right now, need to bm someone. Ah yeah, Idra is always good to bad mouth" seriously, Idra already said that Stephano is a better player than him, what else do you want?
Of course we can laugh at idra in hindsight after he made comments like that on stephano, naniwa, huk and several other players. It's funny and he probably knows he's running that risk by making ridiculous statements like that, so calm down.

I'm sad that both MKP and Stephano lost, especially the ast game between Stephano and MMA it was almost humiliating.

if stephano was in group D he would go 1-3 -at best-.
guess luck can only carry you so far.

Strawman good job.

this is the reason why he wont go to the GSL. What the? MMA is probably the only terran currently good enough to beat stephano consistently in TvZ. Polt as well, but stephano vs polt is kinda 50/50. Also, ZvT isn't his strongest matchups, Stephano way better in ZvP, just listen to how dApollo praises Stephanos ZvP because it's so good.
MMA, Jjakji, MKP... and I would not exclude many other non-great korean terrans. Same with korean Protoss, really. His winrate against Korean players is likely about 50%, and that is only in short tournaments (but against good opponents).
He clearly is the best foreigner and an amazing player (also, one of the smartest player career-wise), but I would be cautious in saying that "only a handful of players can match him".

Stephano truly is an amazing player. He's the best foreigner for sure, may he continue to play the game

MMA in trouble now against Squirtle... his bad TvP might catch up to him. We haven't seen MMA play proper TvP in months. Last time I remember him playing really well against Oz and Puzzle. You missed where he lost against Choya and Vines in GSTL You missed my post where I told you why he lost. Cause he's bad at the matchup? MKP lost to proxy marauders. MKP's TvT must be crap amirite
MMA lost to a marine medivac push, he must be terrible at TvT amirite.

Stephano is one of the greatest personalities at Esports currently and I would literally MISS him a lot if he didn´t continue. He is just so much fun and a really good sportsman.

he hasnt even played enough tvps lately to tell

Sad. Really sad. Stephano was my favorite, together with MKP and Nestea maybe. But seriously I don't wanna watch anymore Zergs getting demolished by Terrans if they go for a makro game. Seems like a design issue of the game, as Zerg was supposeed to be the mobile, herrass heavy race and not Terran with their unstopable drops. It's sad for every Zerg outthere but it really looks like Z is reliant pretty much on huge Terran mistakes or Zerg has to go All-In when a Terran tries to take the 4th again at the 12th minute mark.

Seriously, K-pop? What kind of audience they are trying to reach? ugh.

Time for a epic end to IPL4 Hah, Why so much hate for Stephano? I know he's french, but there's got to be more to your reasoning! every player left is much better than Stephano. It's not Stephano hate but nothing really touches the level of amazement between a top Korean vs another top Korean.
Yes because their still in the tourneyment.
That still means that Stephano is better then Polt, Bomber, Curious, Creator, Jjakji, Tails, Ghostking, Parting, JYP, MC, Ganzi, Puma, Idra, and White-Ra

His winrate v Koreans is under 50%

well statistically, Squirtle and MMA both have below 50% winrate against terran and protoss respectively

No, that's unfair. Illusion and HuK went through the OB, Stephano had a starting advantage. All three had wonderful runs, all three beat strong Koreans, all three fell to two high tier Koreans.
