(Vote): DRG
(Vote): Stephano



No love for NesTea as well?


Nestea is nowhere near as good as those two vs P

I'd say
Stephano DRG vs toss
Leenock DRG vs terran
Nestea DRG vs zerg

DRG obviously being the best zerg :p viOlet being a third in both ZvP and ZvZ or something.


honestly players like seal, symbol, and curious are better than Stephano in every matchup.

Tournaments like this are so much different than GSL because no one is preparing for Stephano.

I really think he competed in the GSL he would be demolished down to Code B almost immediately.

Making comments like that is pretty ignorant. Until Stephano plays in GSL you wont know if these results will translate over. He is VERY good. I'm not even a huge Stephano fan but anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves.



Then shouldn't he actually play in the GSL? Whats stopping him. What was the last thing big tourney Stephano won?


The better question is, what was the last big tourney other NA/EU players finished better than Stephano in?



That would be a good question if GSL was only played by NA/EU players. Hint: It isn't. Stephano will get crushed.

The only foreigners who could compete are Thorzain and Naniwa.


Why is Stephano getting this kind of treatment after 2-0 Parting and 2-3 MC.


Why are you taking the BS this kids spouting seriously?

The consistency of stephano is amazing - look at the results at IPL, MLG and Redbull. He is among the best zergs in the world, saying anything else is just being blind to realities. Okay, you dislike the guy. But look at his placings and the people he beats. He manages to dominate his own scene, the EU/NA, and to compete with the very best Koreans. That is a very impressive feat playing from home, figuring things out by yourself and trying it out on EU-ladder.

Stephano is ok. He is actually very good. He isn't the best zerg in the world. Stephano fans, like Idra fans, just don't see reason.

Heck MVP playing Zerg is better than Stephano.

Did you not read the thread? Everyone was like: "lol 2-base colo timing, who would've thought?" and "I hate it when Squirtle does this ..."

I don't like Squirtle's timings either or his PvT (prefer Parting's) but he makes PvZ look fun and his PvP is off the hook.

Best hold I've seen with bio nonetheless.


Yeah, that was probably the best hold I've seen yet. You're right about the MVP game, but it must be said that if NaNi didn't COMPLETELY fuck up his execution, MVP would have gotten rolled given the relative armies at the time, especially on that map. Losing 6 stalkers to indecision and then deciding to commit further to 2 bases cost him.

Curious lost to Stephano in their most recent matchup. And he won Lone Star Clash, in February? versus Polt, who is a borderline Code S/A player. And look at my earlier post. He also placed 3rd at MLG. MC is in Code S... what was the last big thing that he won? Or Squirtle... or Parting... and yet both those players are amazing.

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1996_Stephano

That's plenty of golds in Europe. And quite a few good showings at international events.

Stephano makes more money in Europe than Korea, and for him, gaming is a means for paying for University.

Only reason why Stephano gets hate is because of his fanboys. Look at the pages of Parting vs Stephano in this LR. "Stephano top 3 player", "unstoppable" etc.. I'd be annoyed too if his abusive build gets 20 pages of hype. When he loses though he gets equal treatment of bashing, so fanboys should cry because you wank as much as you get bashed

Which all in? It was not an attack desgigned to win the game right now. He just lost too much during the attack, but it was not all in.

Are koreans really small, or Wheat is really tall ?


I think its both. If the two korean players are Smix's height, they're pretty short, and I'm pretty sure Wheat is a decent height himself, maybe 5'10" or 6'


Am I too scandinavian for saying 6' is not really tall at all? I'm 6'6" and tons of friends (and my brother) are still taller than me

you are TALL. 6'0 is already taller than average

6'0" is quite common where I am from but someone being 6'6" and having "tons" of friends taller than him seems hard to believe


Well "tons" might be off. But 20-30% of my male friends are my height or higher. Which is quite a bit. Obviously next to no girls will ever be this tall. But for starters my big brother is 2-3 inches higher than me. (Well, I'm 199cm and he's 207cm - could someone do precise math? - if it still sounds unlikely I might be confused with weird american non-metric-system)
