Stephano trying too hard to sound like a dick. He's always been a little arrogant, and he certainly can as he's probably the best foreign player, but i have the feeling he's pushing too hard a character now.

I don't understand Zeratul's comment because Stephano sounded very relaxed and genuinely glad he won the tournament. He thanked his fans and was proud of the trophy size...

It cockiness was originally to mask his nervousness when he was younger. But I agree with you, the person seems captive of his own character Stephano which could be due to his huge success and the necessity (real or not) to keep things alright in order to maintain the same state of mind (so important for him).

I don't see it as arrogance, mostly frankness. He didn't say that his opponents suck, but that it is an easy tournament for him, and this is true.
If you talk about the smack talk during game, it is mostly for fun...

I missed the stream but woke up to see what I expected would happen on liquipedia.

Congrats to Stephano, winning the tournament without dropping a single map ^_^

It doesn't bother me. He's the first one to admit that someone is better than him, and the first to say that he's (much) better than some opponent. What's wrong with that? His achievements are extensive, he's one of the few foreigners that Koreans fear.

can you people stfu about this cockiness from stephano? starcraft is a 1v1 game. Its like saying Muhammad Ali is a douchebag for being confident against his opponent. As long as you can back up what you say,There is nothing wrong with it .. Its good for publicity.

And inb4 douchebags say Mohammed Ali was not disrespectful . This is some of the quotes from the most respected boxer of all time.


-"Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life"
-"I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own."
-"I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was"
-"I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on"


Thats just a few arrogant cocky quotes from the greatest boxer of all time.
I would not change stephanos attitude for anything.

Except according to KleeneX and Adelscott it isn't really his personality. It's more something he did to appear calm on stage, and once he bite he didn't stop. Whether or not it's good for him is irrelevant to what I said.

MC is similarly cocky. I can see why some might get vexed about it. I guess it is just a question of whether someone crosses the line or not.

Sorry if this was asked before, but can anyone explain why Germany and now France were given direct seeds to World Champ? Is this decided on Blizzard whim, or there is some good explanation behind this? Is outhere somewhere any list of countries which receive direct seeds?

Yeah. It's kinda lame for seeds to given past a tier of championship.

Does KR need a direct seed? They will dominate Asian tourney anyway. If Blizzard would provide any reasoning on those seeds I would be willing to understand, if not agree on those depending the reason. But to give countries way to jump over one tier of competition undermines the whole idea behind those championships.

I can understand if they give it to countries with very big name players, but when Sweden doesn't get one, it's a bit arbitrary, isn't it?
