But it's kinda funny that MMA is unbeatable in zvt (As far as I can tell from TLPD he hasn't lost a single series) but just completely falls apart in tvp  Im pretty sure Stephano would have had a much better chance vs Squirtle than MMA. And the games against Nestea were too bad as well. Picking Taldarim as your last map in zvz is kinda a cheap move since you don't get any scouting info so it's much more build order based. But man! Amazing performance by Stephano! It's nice that there is atleast ONE bloody guy from outside of Korea who knows how to play this game. i went bed/stop watching as well after stephano eliminated, haha but i still want to thanks stephano, he was the only reason for watching IPL 4.He is the only foreigner player in top 16, also he beat legit GSL players like Bomber/JYP/Curious, played toe to toe with best ZvZer NesTea, such a close games against Marineking and losing to best TvZer MMA. at the end, stephano shows he is a legit player and skilled as top koreans. ps: haters gonna hate. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LBXDQ.jpg) | ||

He has a solid playstyle but nothing flashy and it feels to me like he pretty much all-in's every other game. There are players that all-in frequently but at least do it with style, Alive doesn't. Especially Game1 vs Nestea in the winner bracket finals was disgusting. Still respect him for being an amazing player though as is evident by him winning this tournament. e: shouldn't have said all the time | ||

Oh come on, that's so not fair to StarTale/PartinG; if he'd been given the victory instead it would've been PartinG/Bomber/Squirtle/Curious vs Creator/Byun => ST would almost surely have won.

Sure Squirtle's run was great (I was cheering for him as soon as Bomber was like "Startale fighting" as he tapped out), but Alive won and he did it with multiple strategies. I think it's a shame that people are crapping on Alive's win when he hasn't done anything to deserve such a reaction from the fans. Personally my favorite game was the regame between Squirtle and Nestea (not the fact that there was a regame but the game itself). I've got nothing against aLive, just like Squirtle's fairytale-run a lot more. | ||

To bad squirtle didnt win. Just looking at that... 15 Koreans and 1 Stephano at 5-6th place. Not bad. Last edit: 2012-04-10 01:59:53 Ya he did great, only forgeigner amongst 15 top koreans, then place 6 is not bad at all to say the least. Still hate to see him loose lol. | ||

The rest of the top finishers I could have easily seen scoring up there. Squirtle... I was pleasantly surprised. Well done! + Show Spoiler + This tournament... he clearly played like a Blastoise  | ||

Zergs I put around the same level as Stephano are Leenock, July, Curious, Life, Symbol, and Lucky, all of whom have their ups and downs. That said, I don't think Stephano is able to do well in the GSL, because he doesn't have a good team around him in Korea. | ||

He's the best foreigner for sure and can definitely compete with mid tier koreans but as you just said he lost to all the top ones so I wouldn't go so far. | ||
