Because every foreigner gets this treatment, and rightfully so. The GSL is the toughest tournament in the world, and until you've seen how someone performs over there you can't say for sure how they'll measure up. Naniwa went through this plenty. Why is Stephano any different? Nani of course went on to - eventually - prove himself in the GSL after a few embarassments. Stephano might well perform better than Nani. But we don't know. | ||

The Colossus timing from game 1 is pretty much all in. If you hold against it, it's very hard to do something as protoss. You have no upgrades, no possibility to take a third, no twilight. Of course there's exception games but often it's very all in. | ||

The only foreigners who could compete are Thorzain and Naniwa. lol Huk is as good as those two. And as much as it pains me to admit it Stephano is the most likely to have great success if his skills transfer to GSL. | ||

Well Squirtle was building a Zealot which Bomber saw (I think), although he cancelled to make a stalker faster, Bobmer probably assumed a Zealot was on the way which would make engi blocking pretty much not worthwhile | ||

Exactly. you don't have to like the guy. I'm typically not a fan of zerg. To deny that he isn't better than most people would be stupid. If he gets a favorable group in Code S he would do ok. I'm more curious to see how he would do in the knockout rounds when the koreans play specifically for him instead of him in a group. | ||

"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 While i agree this build is quite abusive and that Stephano always use it in ZvP for the moment, you can reduce Stephano to this only build... Don't forget Stephano was the king of mutaling in Europe in ZvT, and after that he popularized the ling/infestor/ultra fast upgrade style. And in ZvP he played with great success ling/infestor before the neural parasite nerf. And also his really endgame play in ZvP. I know you didn't say he is a one trick poney, but a lot of people are saying this in this thread so i wanted to fix that | ||
