I think Stephano is fantastic, but I don't think you can call him the best outside of Korea until we see his GSL results.


Naniwa doesnt even come close to Stephano to tournament wins and top placement in major lans. Its not so long ago Naniwa got knocked out in Dreamhack.

But enough of this best foreigner crap Stephano are a top 3 zerg player in the world. Mr Boss toss himself sayd that


Naniwa has done well at MLG Providence. I'm a Stephano fan but let's be open-minded here.


1 tournament?

Stephano: Multiple Assemply top placement, ESWC, IPL 3, IPL 4, Lonestar clash MLG winter arena 2 + dominating the foreign scene for allmost a year winning every big online tournament with money in. He have also won twice as much price winnings then Naniwa..

You cant really compare those 2.

In case you missed my previous post on this.

'Stephano went 0-3 in the first pool at the last Dreamhack Winter which I attended, people have off days

The Nani-Stephano comparison is tough for a variety of reasons. Naniwa places GSL above all else, and indeed doesn't attend as many foreign tournaments to focus on this. At the last Dreamhack the guy admitted he hadn't even played a PvZ in weeks due to focusing so hard on his GSL matches.

Stephano focuses on placing in foreign tournaments, which is where the money is really, and is less concerned about the prestige of the GSL.

Stephano's best matchup is ZvP, which is Naniwa's worst matchup, so even head-to-heads don't really split them particularly. I just don't think Stephano has done anything that puts him on another plane to Nani.'


Not gonna go into a long winded discussion with you until Naniwa wins tournaments he aint even close

I'll translate that to 'oh a logical argument that counters my Stephano fanboyism, I'll just ignore it'.

@Azarkon, yeah good points there, I like the contrast between the two it's pretty interesting. I still feel Stephano practices a bit more than people seem to think, but Nani does seem to be the less naturally talented of the two and more reliant on the hard graft.

Maybe they should have a show match, so we can settle this once and for all...

Oh wait, that was supposed to happen until Stephano bailed on it.


Not to mention placing highly at GSL is a huge achievement. Players spend weeks preparing to play one another and trying to figure out miniscule flaws in each others games to win. Until Stephano places highly in GSL it's really hard to compare the two.

These zergs winning fights with 170 food against 200 is kinda refreshing.
He was even using 15 food to harass Terran 3rd. Hilarious.
I had a good night of sleep.
