O_O Stephano has always been capable of beating Code S competition, but honestly, beyond Polt (Who came damn close to beating Stephano 2-0), the other three aren't really Code S level (well, maybe Ganzi).
The PvZ of JYP is obviously code S level

We missed out on his match v Alicia and now also JYP. I get people want to see other players too and thats great but there are 4 streams ffs.
Can you imagine a Tennis Grand Slam tv programme and Nadal, Djokovic or Federer's match not being aired. Some poor decisions imho...Was same with the Arenas. What? Every match in the Arenas is streamed.

You don't win with terran if your ID is not a 3 letter name starting with an M.

O_O the only one of those players who really had a chance to beat him was polt and polt blew it, the other guys are no where near top players. Wait, people still make excuses for Stephano wrecking shit?
How do you get that out of what I said? I just said the other players had very little chance to beat him because they are not good enough.

How the hell did Stephano manage to 2-0 him? Anyone knows if it were close games or one-sided? Could anyone please do a small recap of those games? Have you seen Stephano's ZvP recently? He hardly loses to Protosses.
Yes but Stephano mostly plays against non-korean protoss. JYP is really damn good in PvZ, maybe one of the best in the world.
Also to the guy saying players like Ganzi, JYP and Alicia are not that good.... there is no other foreigner who could win against them with that ease and even most of the korean players, even some of the best would be hard pressed to win against them as convincingly as Stephano does in this tournament.

a bit surprised by Polt but that is sadly normal considering the terran group and T's last trend in term of results..

Very sad to see that people care more about casual games rather then games that inspire true skill and dedication That attitude is exactly why MOBA games have a shitty reputation for elitist attitude. Obviously people are enjoying watching LoL so there's nothing wrong with that at all. I don't like MOBAs but I certainly don't care if others like them and I'm not going to bicker over which is harder. Doesn't change the truth man, people switch from SC2 over to Lol specifically because its so much easier to experience success, and theirs a huge social aspect which allows for individuals to shift the blame onto team mates instead of themselves. Call it elitism if you want but I just find it baffling that people can watch such a hollow game as opposed to much better games such as Dota (Way better then Lol by a longshot) and SC. I see your SC2 elitism and raise you BW elitism. Seriously. Don't drag this thread into a SC2 vs LoL debate. Who cares about SC2 vs LoL. What we should be talking about is LoL audience vs SC2 audience. The audience just isn't getting into the games for whatever reason. They haven't been horrible. It's probably because most of the games have just been Korean vs Korean and people just want to have that foreigner vs korean story line. Or the SC2 hasn't been into it for a while now. This event it is LoL crowd destroying the SC2 crowd. Last event the Halo crowd made the SC2 one look bad. It's nothing new. SC2 crowd is actually bigger. It's just that they are not loud. after following sc2 and be for years, I've recently gotten into LoL. And its actually really fun to watch. The guy saying the skill required isn't high has obviously not played it. Its hard to compare the two games really. I played LoL seriously for over a year, so this is just my experience... after the initial buzz wears off, and/or if you quit LoL, you won't be able to watch it. It's actually just not that good of a spectator sport. And the skill required isn't high mechanically, there's just not as much to do (though you do have the other dimension of dealing with teammates, etc.) There's less awe of watching pros, and it gets kind of boring. Meanwhile, most of the people watching SC2 probably don't even play anymore. (There are exceptions, like M5's old playstyle, etc.) What? I mean cmon that is complete bias, and how long did DOTA go which was another moba game?
Also there is plenty of things to do with counter jungling/pushing/how to engage team fights/items choices/synergy with champs etc. etc. There's less awe of watching pros, and it gets kind of boring? It might be for you, but then there is plenty of people who watch pro streams and most of the time there is a LoL stream that has at least 6-7k+ viewers or even 10k+ if they are popular with no other person known streaming. There could also be a tournament with a good viewer base.
Also i have never played SC2, but i watch it a lot. I play LoL sometimes, but i still watch it a lot also.

Now Ganzi beats Rain 2-0 to finish the group 2-3 (4-7)
If Stephano cleans up Rain, like he should, then all Polt needs to do is beat JYP to get third in his group. Come on, Polt.

Tails GGs, and is out of the tournament

Unusual actually seeing Idra win a series judging by his recent record.

But you proved that you are worse in overall group, which is more determinant to make a ranking of the POOL

They are which means they are quality. But cos Stephano has now beaten them, they are now obviously scrubs.
Hater logic!
