Normally a GSL. Nonetheless they recognize MKP even though he always failed to win a GSL. Go figure :/

MKP has 3 GSL silvers. I don't think it's unreasonable to recognize MKP as a phenomenal player. I think Stephano is a fantastic player. Top 3? Probably not. I'd put DRG and Nestea above him but I suppose a convincing argument could be made for Stephano being number 3. He needs to make Ro8 to be legit, Ro4 to be top 3 zerg (in Code S.


By that argument a player who never goes to Korea is never able to be a top player. That's retarded.

No it isn't? You have to compete with the best to considered the best.


The best compete on the international stage. Korea isn't the international stage.


Horrible logic. Nestea for the longest time refrained from competing on the 'international stage'. In fact maybe he's only been to a couple 'international stage' events to this day. Yet without a doubt he's among the very best, up there near MVP.

moreover most reasonable people have considered for a long time the GSL to be the tip-top level of SC2 competition. It's in Korea.


The best in Korea are only the best in the world when they compete with people around the world. Had Koreans stuck to GSL, and never attended international tournaments, there would be no way to say that they're the best in the world. Code S players have to go to international tournaments and compete with the people there to demonstrate that they're the best, and the same applies to Stephano.

Why does every LR thread descend into "Blah blah is better than blah blah, blah blah is best foreigner/korean" Does it really matter at all?

"Fancy Micro" is what terrans have to do to beat top zergs and it is what makes MKP one of the best terrans in the world

A solid run in Code S is what it will take to convince me... Right now he is the best foreign zerg and at about the level of your average Korean Zerg(Which isn't a bad thing)

Average korean zerg. /facepalm


MLG and GSL are very different tournament formats, no one can deny stephanos credentials at an MLG format but I think to be seriously considered in the top zerg debate you have to show something at GSL

Just because you were born with the internet doesn't mean your opinion is valuable and worthy. You can play the hipster all you want to piss off fans, but when all the scene says Stephano is a top player without any questioning, that should makes you wonder if you are right. I'll give you a hint, in this particular case, you probably are not.


What a great argument. Counter a valid point with calling him a hipster. He has shown nothing in GSL. GSL is by far the highest level of competition. And yes he is clearly a top player but that doesn't make him top3 in the world. Top foreigner is still good

Where did you see I called him a top 3 player ? Stephano is ahead of every "average korean zerg". If you think ByuL, Line, LosirA are not on the same level. Stephano is on the same level as DRG, Symbol. His tournaments result speak for him. Yes he didn't have a GSL run and that would be an ultimate test however calling him average is ludicrous and not based on anything.

Feel like if MKP had a stronger push with more tanks behind it he would actually win an engagement. DRG's engagements are horribly inefficient but MKP keeps sending small forces mostly of marines.

Ehhh, are you talking about Flash in SC2? In that case, what exactly are you basing that on?


"WELL FLASH NEVER FLOATED ANY MINERALS VS SOULKEY"

Well soulkey is nowhere near the sc2 player DRG is. People comparing Flash macro to MKP at this point are pretty silly.
